About"3'o'cloc k p. m. on th e 24th of Januar y a small spock, which appeare d t o th e westward on ou r weathe r beam , grew rapidl y int o a gloomy cloud , an d swiftly, as if on th e wings of a de- *troyin g angel, it traversed th e thick - enin g air an d th e agitate d sea, which ^darkene d beneat h its shadow ; and so •thi s speck cam e on, unti l it grew aa •awfu l thunder-cloud . "Boar a han d fere an d aft!

Ude r th e lower edge of th e approacli - tn g cloud , when abou t twelve miles distant , we beheld an object which filled us with wonde r an d awe. I t was a tremendou s spout , or o l - timn , of water, connecte d with th e <Hkrad above-an d th e sea—betew sea, from which a circula r wind ha d cucKe d it upward) , tha t was now visible. •'i'lil a colum n was like a solid mass of -White breakers , approachin g with In - credibl e speed over waves tha t began t o rise in shor t and pyramida l peaks. Hi8to p was too busy clewing up canvas, sendin g yard3 down from aloft, belaying and ordering , and so lou t a famou s opportunit y for expatiating— as no doub t he would have don * —on th e theor y of thes e spouts , for thi a phenomeno n filled us with th e .greatest tlarm , lest It migh t swoop down upo n th e Eugenie , dismast an d •destro y he r like a child' s to y ship. Atoni o el Cubano , being th e most powerful an d muscula r ma n on board , w-as ordere d to th e wheel. Across th e sea thi s colum n seemed t o pass with th e cloud , boiling, foamin g imd with th e sound of a might y cascad e pourin g int o a deep valley, but yet ^maintainin g a positio n quit e perpendicular . Aroun d It s base th e waves •eeme d in (dreadfu l commotion , rising an d f i l i n g, seethin g an d glitterin g in the lightnin g which shot at time s from th e gloomy bosom of th e cloud tha t fliwrteti<averrthem. A* thi s terribl e phenomeno n approache d from th e westward, Captain .

Th e breeze, whioh was blowing fresh an d had t»ot as yet becom e a gale (to (ti8 a t leaat) , veered northwesterly ; so we shoo k th e reefs ©ut of ou r topsail s en d trimme d -shar p toy th o wind. ; "Luff, luff—keep yewr luff—keep he r to," were the Incessant orders of Western,' and' the Eugenie flew through the water' like a raoe home; held by the powerful hand* of Antonio, ghe never yawed an Inch, and by especial Providence fhe got. to the windward of that dreadful phenomenon, which passed lit, oloud and all, about S!K mfles astern, when, a* it changed color from artyUh greon to white, it presented a ac«n* so. sublime and terrible that "the, boM*«t held big breath for a time;1 and Antonio, who was blanched white with terror, though he had frequently seen such spouts as these In Ilia native seas, assured me, with chattering teeth, that he had never befc «ld one of such magnitude, and, it was long before he could be certai n of our safety, an d ceased to mutter : "0 mal a ventura—mal a ventura! " (literally , bad luck.) Fro m white th o water-spou t becam e dusky purple , when a gleam of th e sun fell on ! ^ an d th e waves at its base glittere d in all th e color s of th e rain - bow. "Than k heaven ! tha t is past, " said Weston. "Ay, sir,** said old Roberts , th e man - o'-war' g man ; "it is enoug n to mak e one' 3 ha'. r stan d on end for a week." "Ha d tve been, twent y minutes ' sail asten) , rre could no t have escaped it!" said Hislop ; "but we have handle d th e brig beautifully . Tha t ugly Spaniar d at th e wheel was wortt i his weight in gold jtist now!" Fo r nearl y an hou r th e sea was greatly agitated ; but as th e Eugenie , still brace d shar p to th e wind, fi>w from on e long roller to another , we rapidl y got int o smoot h water. Th e baromete r rose quickly; th e vapors dispersed ; an d when th e settin g sun gave us a partin g smile from th e far hori - zon th o storm-clou d an d its water-spou t had disappeare d togethe r or melte d away in th e distan t sea.

The sensO-tio n of v*aellness which th e departur e of th o bun-e-are&eg-ia-th e breast of a landsma n at sea Is peculiar ; but thi s was soon change d from min e h? th e splendo r of th e rising moon , which change d th e sapphir e tint s of sea an d sky w liquid silver an d th e clearest blue.

Save a plane t or two, twinklin g with less light tha n usual, ther e seemed to be n c star s in heaven , for th e glui/ of th o full-orbe d moo n eclipsed the m all; hev !t?ht fell bright - ly on th e white sails jf th e Eugenie , ami in It th e feature s of ou r faces were distinc t as at noonday , an d now it was the. noo n of night . About 12 o'cloc k a fresh breeze spran g \\j t an d th e ship' s course was resumed . "By .keepin g th e weathergage , an d beyont i th e circle of th e spout' s attrac - tion , we escape s withou t shippin g a dro p of water!" said Weston, for th e tweirtlet h time . "Let me see how you ente r all thi s in thv. log, Hislop. " "Iiiism o uncommo n thin g for a craft at sea :to be deluged by a spout of fresh water, which th e whirlwind ha s tor n *up 'from an Inlan d lake, " said Hislop ; "and houses , far in-shore , have in th e same fashion been deluged by salt water absorbe d from th e sea—and henc e th e showers of dried herrings , of wklefe >we have hear d so muc h a t timts .

I reiterated, surprised at such a paradox from our theorist. "Yea. The opposition of the winds will at times produce a perfect calm, and then wtoen rain falls it is always gentle and suable; but when clouds teem to move against the lower winds, or whem streams of air denote a variety of the aerial current, and conseqoeatly the approach of rain—" ??Wa*t strange sound is that ahead, or, at l«*ft, forward?" said Weston, intefrvptlat; Hislop, who would perhaps hatt theorired tor an hour. "It Is Antonio, groaning in his sleep la t№Jftreca*tle/ ' said Ned Cariton, who we* at the wheel. "1 w1s% the ship were rid of him and hie dreaflfes," added Hislop, testily. "Well. *» I WM saying, when the advme- awremeota of the clouds seem to I "Light ahead! " cried a voice from th e bow. "Is tha t you, Roberts?

CHAPTE R XVI. Cuba . When day dawned we ha d rounde d Caybo San Antonio , an d were runnin g alon g th e norther n shor e of Cuba . I was up early, by eight bells, or a little after 4 a. m., an d with deep interes t I surveyed th e coast of tha t beautifu l island, th e first an d no w th e last portio n of tha t vast empir e beyond th e seas which Columbu s bequeathe d to Castil e an d Leon . "Da t is my country , senor, " said Antonio , who was at th e wheel, an d thi 3 remark , with th e repulsive aspect of th e Spaniar d an d his mysteriou s char - acter , served to dissipat e by momen - tar y enthusiasm . "Tha t is Caybo Buen a Vista—and th e breaker s on th e weather-bow, " he continued ; "'mar k th e Collorados , a lon g reef of rocks. Th e blue shark s are as thic k ther e as th e star s in th e sky." % We were no w in th e Gul f of Flor - ida.

Th e wind was off th e land an d rathe r ahead , but th e sails were trimme d to perfection , an d we ra a throug h th e gulf on a tau t bowline. I have so muc h mor e to narrat e tha n my limite d space permit s me to give in full detai l tha t I mus t compres s int o on<» chaptet r all tha t relate s t o my visit to Matanzas . Our ru n throug h th e gulf was delightful, an d on th e 29th of January , just as a rosy tin t was stealin g over th®. Eea and th e rocky shor e of Cuba , aftor th e sun had set beyond th e water * of th e Gul f of Mexico , we saw Ha - vana light, bearin g sout h by west, an d distan t abou t fourtee n miles. So we passed in th e night th e wealth y capital of Cuba , so famed in th e annal s of our victories—La Habana , or th e har - bor—of which, from ou r being so far to seaward, we could see nothin g but th e th e great revolving light wnich burn s so brightl y o:« th e high rvelc of th e Morro , or Castell o de los Santo s Reyes; an d before dawn we descried th e light of Sant a Cru z on ou r waterbow. Weston drew my attentio n to it, add - ing, "Tha t is th e beaco n which so scared me when it shon e throug h thf* stern windows of th o empt y polaee a brig." Nex t day, after encounterin g a hea d wind, against which we tacke d frequentl y between th e Pa n de Matanza s an a th e wooded poin t of Sumberella , at 10 o'cloc k In th e mornin g a Span - ish mulatt o pilot cam e on board an d too k th e brig in charge . We ra n safely int o th e harbor , an d by 11 o'cloc k cam e to ancho r at a place recommende d by Antonio , half a cable's length from th e castle of St. Severlno . In half an hou r after th e sails were all unben t an d stowed below, an d preparation s were mad e for "breakin g bulk"—to unloa d th e vessel, whose cargo, I have state d consiste d of steam machiner y and coals, for th e sugar and coffee mills. Gang s of Spanis h mulattoes , negro porter s ar>d jumpers , In red shirt s an d wfcUs drawers, with broa d straw hats , and nearl y all with rings in thei r ear3, cam e on board In quest of employment , an d the n all was confusion , garlic, dirt , jabberin g in Spanis h an d Congo , singing, swearing an d smokin g cigar- Itos . I was now at libert y t o go ashore , and after th e first bustle was over Weston left Hislo p in charg e of th e brig and accompanied me. Matanzas presented nothing new to him, but I surveyed with interest, not unmixed with wonder, the new world In which t found myself. The city of Don Carlos de Matanzas occupies a gentle eminence between the Rivers San Juan and Yumuri,whlch roll into the bay from the mountain. ou» ridge that traverses all Cuba.

All she ever said to him passes in review, though he may not have harkened to it, as he should have done, but her words are writteu upon the tablets of his memory. When far away, out of hearing of that kindly vo:ce, out of that pleasant smile, we still hear, we still see her with the eye of the soul.

There is no twine made in the state, so that there would be no competition with free labor in Kansas, whatever it might be on the outside.

U the nattsms <£jtyp wojf# Patrick and Lowtb, Thomas Scott, Matthew Henr/, Albert Barnes aud some other commentators say that the star Wormwood of my text was a type of Attila, king of the Huns. He was so called because he waa brilliant as a star, and, like wormwood, ha embittered everything he touched. We have studied the Star of Bethlehem, and the Morning Star of Revelation, and the Star of Peace, but my subject calls us to gaze at the star Wormwood, and my theme might be called Brilliant Bitterness. A more extraordinary character history does not furnish than this man, Attila, the king of the Huns. The story goes that one day a wounded heifer came limping along through tho fields, and a herdsman followed its bloody track on the grass to see where the heifer was wounded, and went on back, further and further, until he came to a sword fast in the earth, the point downward as though it had dropped from the heavens, and against the edges of this sword the heifer bad been cut. The herdsman pulled up that sword and presented it to Attila. Attila said that sword must have dropped from the heavens from the grasp of the god Mars, and its being given to him meant that Attila should conquer and govern the whole earth. Other mighty men have been delighted at being called liberators, or the Merciful, or the Good, but Attila called himself, and demanded that others call him, "The Scourge_of God/^ _ _ At the head of seven hundred thousand troops, mounted on Cappadocian horses, he swept everything, from the Adriatic to the Black sea. He put his iron heel on Macedonia and Greece and Thrace. He made Milan and Pavia and Padua and Verona beg for mercy, which he bestowed riot. TEe~ Byzantine castles, to meet his ruinous levy, put up at auction massive silver tables, and vases of solid gold. When a city was captured by him the inhabitants were brought out and put into three classes: The first class, those who could bear arms, must immediately en-1 list under Attila or be butchered; the second class, the beautiful women,were made captives to the Huns; the third class, the aged men and women, were rohhgri *>f everything and let_go^j)ack to the city to pay a heavy tax. It was a common saying that th« grass never grew where the hoof of Attila's horse had trod. His armies reddened the waters of the Seine and the Moselle and the Rhine with carnage, and fought on the Catalonian plains the fiercest battle since the world stood—300,000 dead left on the field. On and on until all those who could not oppose him with arm3 lay prostrate on their faces in prayer; then a cloud of dust was seen in the distance, and a bishop cried, "It is the aid of God;" and all the people took up the cry, "It is the aid of God." As the cloud of dust was blown aside, the banners of reinforcing armies marched 1B to help against Attila, "the Scourge of God." The most unimportant occurrences he used as a supernatural resource. After three months of failure to capture the city of Aquileia, when his army had given up the siege, the flight of a stork and her young from the tower of the city was taken by him as a sign that he was to capture the city; and his army, inspired with the same occurrence, resumed the siege and took the walls at a point from which the stork had. emerged. So brilliant was the conqueror in attire that his enemies cculd not look at him, but shaded their eyes or turned their h»ad3. Slain on the evening of his marriage by his bride, Ildico, who was hired for the assassination, his followers bewailed him, not with tears, but with blood, cutting themselves wiU knives and lances. He was put Into three coffins, the first of iron, the second of silver, and the third of gold. He was buried by night, and into L:s grave "was poured*. the<»asfc-Vitl«hDle «0im* it fell upon the third part of the riven, and upon tta fountains of waters, and the name at the star is called Wormwood." Have you ever thought how many embittered lives there are all about us, misanthropic, morbid, acrid, saturnine? The European plant from which wormwood is extracted, Artemisia absinthium, is a perennial plant, and all the yoar round it is ready to exude itu oil. And in many human lives there is a perennial distillation of acrid experiences. Yea, there are some whose whole work is to shed a baleful influence on others. There are Attilaa of the home, Attilas of the social circle, Attilas of the church, Attilas of the state, and one-third of the waters of all the world, if not two-thirds of the waters are poisoned by the falling of the star Wormwood. It is not complimentary to human nature that most men, as soon as they get great power, become overbearing. The more power men have the better, if tnelr power be used for good. The less power men have the better, if they use it for evil. Birds circle round and round and round before they swoop upon that which they are aiming for. And if my discourse so far has been swinging round and round, this moment it drops straight on your heart, and asks the question, Is your life a^benediction to others, or an embitterment, a blessing or a curse, a balsam or a wormwood? Some of you, I know, are morning stars, and you aro making the dawning life of your children bright with gracious influences, and you are beaming upon all the opening enterprises of philanthropic and Christian endeavor, and you are heralds of that day of Gospelijsation which will yet flood all tho mountains and valleys of our sin-accursed earth. Hail, morning star! Keep on shining with encouragement and Christian hope! Some of you are evening stars, and you are cheering the last days _pf_old people; and though a cloud sometimes comes over you through the querrulousness or unreasonableness of your aged father and mother, it iv. only for a moment, and the star soon come3 out clear again and is seen from all the balconies of the nalghborhood. Ths old-people- will forgivo your occasional shortcomings, for they themselves several times lost their patience with you when you were young, and perhaps whipped you when you did not deserve it.\ Hail, evening star I Hang on the darkening sky your diamond coronet. • * * What is true of individuals is true of nations.

What ruthlessness defaced her sculptured wall and broke obelisks and left her indescribable temples great skeletons of granite? What spirit of destruction spread the lair of wild beasts In her royal sepulchers, aad taught the miserable cottagers of today to build huts in the courts of her temples, and sent desolation and ruin skulking behind the obelisks and dodging among the sarcophagi, and leaning against the columns, and stooping under the arches, and weeping in the waters which go mournfully by, as though they were carrying the tears of all ages?

The Moral of This Old, Old Aoocdote vTlU Save a Hsap of Trouble and a PU« of Money. Something had gone wrong with some simple part of a stationary engine and the stoker could not fix it. After spc&ding a day or two on it he was forced to ask the aid of a more competent workman. He failed also, and someone suggested the employment of a local celebrity, a sort of aUakeratany mechanical job. There is generally one in every locality. He gave two or three raps with his hammer and touched up a rod or two, when the pounding, or whatever ailed the machine, ceased. When asked to make out his bill, it read as follows: To Fixing Enrtne t .60 To Knowing Sow 10.00 This anecdote clearly demonstrates that it pays to know how. Engineer J. J. Jeff eries, of the Royal Cycle works at Marshall,. Mich., residing in that city at No. 141 8. Marshall St., tells in the following of his experience with the little conqueror; it Will pay you to know how he got rid of a troublesome companion.

The Busy Bee Hive has built its business on honest goods truthfully advertised. We have at this store many things to help us do business. The largest and lightest store in town, the best and brightest set of help, the largest and most varied stock of goods, ample capital to buy everything for spot cash; but above all what we consider our greatest help and of more value than, our capital, we have the confidence of the people of Central Michigan. This we prize above all and will guard and protect it in every instance. Now Let Us Talk: Aftoat Carpets. Detroit Free ftGOTXJtSOWME, Yoft.

The fire originated on the second floor of the building from the igniting of a lace curtain, and 10 minutes later the flames were roaring through the interior of the hotel cutting off all means of escape by stairways and elevators.

There was not a ship lying there tor "England, or any other craft by which Western could have sent me 'borne. A Spanish steam-packet was , tm the eve oT departing for Cadiz, but being wearied by the monotony of my long voyage, I was scarcely in a mood for the sea again, and wished to spend «a 'little more time on shore Instead of leaving with her. However, I wrote to my family by .'the Spanish mall, acquainting them of lay safety, with the strange incident -which had so suddenly torn me from them, and adding that I would return lay the first ship bound for any part of /England; ft possible, with the Eugenie, which would probably be freighted for London. After the packet sailed with my letter in her capacious bags, I experienced an emotion of greater happiness and contentment (dian I had ever done since leaving home, for the sorrow which I knew all thjere must have suffered, and would .still be suffering, hung heavily on,/ny heart, As wo were returning to the brig, which had now been warped alongside the mole., when passing through the street which contains the great hospital, we heard the sound of trumpets, and saw the glittering of lances with long streamers above the heads of a dense crowd of people of all shades of color—black, yellow and brown—and we had to doff our hats with due re- •pect as they passed, for in the midst, surrounded by a staff cf officers, epauletted and aiguletted, their breast* sparkling with medals and crosses, and each of them riding with a cocked hat. under his lefjt arm, came the present Captain General of Cuba, a marshal of the S_£anl8h_arxnx* Don Francisco-Serrano de Dominguez, attended by an escort of mulatto lancers, all mounted on Spanish horses. He was a Sne-looklsg m*n, and although aged, had all the bearing of what he was, or. I should say, is— ,a grandee of old Castile. On returning to the Eugenie we found Antonio the Cuban working among the crew «** lustily and as actively as any man on board. Weston now offered him remuneration for the time that be had been with us, with a hint that he might find a berth elsewhere; but our castaway evinced the reluctance to leave the brig, d h * * * * * * * * * f r t t t • * * * * * * * * * * * * lshed this record of their achievements might be cast by the ocean on the shore of some Christian land. As I eat by the sounding sea that rolled Into the bay of Matanzas, what would I not have given to have seen the waves cast that old cask, covered with weeds and barnacles, at my feet! But now the plodding steam tug and the rusty merchant trader ploughed the waters of the bay instead of the gilded Spanish caravels, or the long war pirogues of the Indian warriors; and where they fought their bloodiest battle3 on the wooded shore, or in the green savanna, where the painted cacique and the mailed Castilian met hand to hand In mortal strife, the smoke of the steam mill, grinding coffee or boiling sugar, darkened the sky, and the sor»gs of the negroes were heard as they hoed in the plantations, or in gangs of forty trucked mahogany logs, each drawn by eight sturdy oxen, to the sea. And EO, in a creek.of the bay—the same place where the Dutch Admiral Heyn sank the Spanish plate fleet—I was wont to sit dreamily for hours, with the murmur of the waves in my ears, with the buzz of insects and the voice of the mocking-birds among the palmettos, while watching the sails that glided past the headlands of the bay on their way to the Bahama Channel or the great Gulf of Florida. This was my favorite resort. A wood of cocoanut and other trees shaded the place and mad/e it so dark that I have seen the flre-flies glance about at noon. The cocoas are about the height of Dutch poplars, and are covered with oblong leaves, which, when young, are of a pale red. A» spring drew on, the branches became covered with scarlet and yellow flowers. Over these the vast corral tree spread its protecting foliage, whence the Spaniards, in their beautiful language, name it La Madre del Cocoa, the smallest of which has at times a thousand lovely scarlet blossoms. and begged that he might be permitted to remain on board, as three of our best hands had been sent ashore, stek, to tbe hospital. So short-sighted ta man that Captahi Weston, despite the dislike .of the crew and the advice of Marc Hislop, ordered that the name of Antonio be entered on the ship's books as foremast man. Three weeks after our arrival the t»rtg wa« careened to starboard, when clear of all the cargo, and had her copper scraped and cleaned, an operafipn which the constant rain* of the season greatly retarded. There -was much in Cuba to feed an imaginative mind, and mine was full of the voyages, the daring adventures and the vast discoveries of Columbus, with the exploits of the buccaneers, whose haunts were amid these wild and, in those days, savage shores. I thought of the gaily plumed and barbarously armed caefqnes whom Columbus had rmet in their fleet pirogues, or had -encountered in the dense forests wfcieh clothe, the Cuban mountains— fereete, ©Id, perhaps, as the <Uy§ of tbe <detage-«o* tie yellow- «klnned women with their long, flowing black a*it and with plates of polished gold hanging in their ears and noses; of the fierce warriors streaked •with sable war paint and armed with •arrows shod with teeth'or poi- I'fish boftet. that fen harmless trttm the Spanish coats of maH; of the wild Caribs, who devoured their pris- CHAPTER XVII. " ' An Evil Spirit We sailed from the-Bay ef-MatattMts at 2 o'clock a. m., on the 3d of April, bound for the Cape of Good Hope, which we were fated never to reach. The Eugeaie had been freighted for that colony with a rich cargo of molasses, sugar, coffee, and tobacco, and arrangements had been made that from Cape Town she would be chartered for Lc cdoo. Thus I had a fair prospect of seeiug hearty a half of this terrestrial glob* before I repasted my good old fathi fs threshold at Elsmere. I earnestly hoped that we might encounter no more waterapoats or tornadoes, as they were not at all to my taste; but from other causes than phesomething vsfortunate ocewttd. Halyards or braces gave way, br vhich ths yards were thrown afcackjaad in one instance the brig nearly lost her mainmast. Standing ana running rigging were found to be mysteriously fretted, and even cut, as if by a knife; and then the crew whispered together of Antonio el Cubano—that horrid, dark, mysterious fellow, whose character none of us could fathom. Twice our compasses went wrong, and remained so for days! and before the cause was discovered the Eugenie had drifted far from her course. This varying was inexplicable, until Hislop, who set himself to watch, and frequently saw Antonio hovering near the binnacle at night, unshipped the compass box and found there were conT cealed near it an iron marlinsplke on ore side and a lump of tallow on the other, either of which was sufficient to affect the magnetic needle. After their removal the compas3 worked as well as before. The crew were strictly questioned; all vowed total Ignorance of the transaction, and Antonio summoned every saint ia the Spanish calendar to attest his innocence, but none, however, appeared. The crew now felt convinced that, inspired by eome emotion of malice or mischief, he alone was the culprit; and if not loud, their wrath was dec? against him. These variations of cur compass set the busy brain of Marc Hislop to work, and in a day or two he declared that he had discovered a plan for preventing the repetition of tricks so dangerous by insulating the needle so as to protect the compass from attractions false or dangerous. I am uncertain whether he perfected this experiment, Jbut Antonio soon went to work another way; for one day, when he was supposed to be busy in the maintop, he shouted, "Stand from under!" and ere Hislop, who was just beneath, could give the usual response, "Let go!" a heavy marlinspike, the same which had been found in the binnacle, slipped from the hand of Antonio and fell crashing through the topgrating. ^ The iron bar crashed Into the deck at the feet of Hislop; whether this occurred by inadvertence or design we knew not, but the Scotsman thought the latter. "That rascally Spanish picaroon will work us some serious mischief before we overhaul our ground-tackle or see the Cape," said Weston, who was enraged by this new incident, and the narrow escape of Htarterp, for whom he had a great regard. "Aye, he has a hang-dog look about him that I never liked," replied the latter. **Ho seems to be always down by the head, somehow.

By 8 o'clock on the morning of our departure the iijht on Piedras Key was bearing south by east, sinking into the waves astern, and going out as we bade a long farewell to the lovely shores of Cuba. Three of our men had died of yellow fever in hospital, so we sailed from Matanzas with ten able-bodied hands, exclusive of three ship boys, the captain, first and second mates. In the waters, after the rainy season, the tt&r is so cloudless in the forenoon t&&t th* heat o< the sun becomes almost insupportable; thus we were soon glad to resort to the use of windsails rigged down the open skylight to an awning over the quarter-deck for coolness, and to skids for the prevention of blisters on the sides of the brig; but in the starry night the land-wind which comes off these fertile isles, laden with the rich aroma of their spice-growing savannas, is beyond description grateful and delicious. Without any incident worth recording, we ran through the sea of the Windward Isles, thence along the coast of South America, and when we approached the calm latitudes, as that tract of the ocean near the equator is named, we became sensible of the overpowering Increase of heat, while the breezes were but "fanning ones," as the sailors term those which, under the double influence of the air and motion of the hull, are just sufficient to make the lighter canvas collapse and swell We were soon aware of other annoyances than mere heat, far now it seemed as if there was aa evil spirit oa board tae Eugenie, and taat nothing went rlcat within or about liar.

I have not forgotten that mother and her love, and never in my court shall a mother be tried and sentenced to the penitentiary for perjury committed to savo her boy's life. There was not a dry eye in the room. The United States attorney dismissed the case. I do not know whether I have piven the exact words or not, but it is the substance as I remember it. A heart o£ stone would have consigned that mother to a felon's cell; hut a heart in which mother's love had not died out, turned that mother over to the great Just Jud^e who gave His only son that such mothers might not perish,but have everlasting life.

ILL. this story is true or not, the mind that conceived it has paid a tribute to the strength of maternal yearning, though guilty, that does not detract from the immeasurable love of mother; for love ouly could have lead her there. After every law had been broken, every admonition disregarded, every injunction and commandment violated and trampled under foot, God so loved the world that he had prepared a sacrifice from the beginning, in His only son, that the world might still be saved. Can we blame the mother for clinging to her boy whose heart is defiled, whose soul is blackened, when God set the example by loviug a world that was so lawless, and that it was only fit to be eternally damned, and gave His only son whom He loved with a greater love than any mother ever loved, to be scourged, spit upon, nailed to the cross, to die between two culprits, that God's love for humanity, through the death of His dear son, might reconcile a whole lost world to himself. he called to his recollection that prayer learned at his mother's knee, "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us." Let us withhold our criticism of the judge and leave him where he left the woman—in the hands of God. I remember another judge who had a mother, and witnesses accused a woman of a cr^ime before him. They were sticklers for the forms of law; they wanted to stone her to death. That judge said: "Yes, that's all right; 'He that is without sin let him cast the first stone;" the finite mind cannot fathom God's love nor mother's love, God only knows what mother's love is. Let us listen to the voice of mother's love, though she is laid away in the tomb; it comes to us yet, as does the voice of the sou of God bringing to us a knowledge of God's love for the world. "Lord God of Ho8t,t>e with ae yet, Lest we forget—lest we forget," the love that never dies. VAN BENNETT, lers drug store. Every bottle gnar&n* temt. UNDERTAKER AND EMBALMER. J. G. SAYLES.

SH« Hw Ohrlrtteu. We are all ready to llaten to the voices of nature—the voices of the mountain, the voices of the sea, ths voiceB of the storm, the voices of tho star. As In some of the cathedrals in Europe, there is an organ at either end of the building, and the one instrument responds musically to the to night, and flower to flower, and star to star, In the great harmonies of the universe. The spring time is an evangelist in blossoms preaching of God'i love; and the winter is a prophet— white bearded — denouncing woe against our sins. We are all ready to listen to the VOICCB of nature; but how few of us learn anything from tho voices of the noisy and dusty street! You go to your mechanism, and to your work, and to your merchandise, and you come back again—and often with how different a heart you pass through the streets! Are there no things for us to learn from these pavements over which we pass? Are thera no tufts of truth growing up between these cobblestones, beaten with ths feet of toil and pain and pleasure, the Blow tread of old age, and the quick step of childhood? Aye, there are great harvests to be reaped; and now I thrust in the sickle because the harvest is ripe. "Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets." In the first place, the street impresses me with the fact that this life Is a scene of toil and struggle. By 10 o'clock every day the city is jarring with wheels, and shuffling with feet, and humming with voices, and covered with the breath, of smoke-stacks, and a-rush with traffickers. Once in a while you find a man going along with folded arms and with leisurely step, as though he had nothing to_jk>; but for the most part, as you find men going down these streets on the way to business, there is anxiety In their faces, as though they had some errand which must be executed at tbe first possible moment. You are Jostled by those who have bargains to make and notes to sell. Up this ladder with a hod of bricks, out of this bank with_a roll of bills, on thir dray with a load of goods, digging a cellar, or shingling a roof, or That is the man* that !• Uw and'the blessing win come down upon you at ChrUt thattiayr "I was hungry and ye fed me, I was naked and ye clothed me, I was sick and in prison and yt visited me; Inasmuch as ye did it ta tfeatfr^ftoor waifa.Of th*afreets, ye did tt to me," A^ain, tns ttreet impresses me with the fact taat all e&uses and conditions of society must commingle. We sometimes culture a wicked exclusiveneaa. Intellect depises ignorance. Refinement will have nothing to do with boorishness, Gloves hate the sunburned hand, and the high forehead despises the flat head; and the trim hedgerow will have nothing to do with the wild copBewood, and Athena hates Nazareth, This ought not so to be. The shoeing a horse, or building & wall, or mending a watch, or binding a book- Industry, with her thousand arms and thousand eyes, and thousand feet, goes on singing her song of work! work! work! while the mills drum It, and the steam-whistles fife it. All this to not because mer love toil. Some one remarked: "Every man is as Lazy as he can afford to be." But it is because necessity with stern brow and with uplifted whip stands over you ready whenever you re'?.x y<?"r toil to make your shoulders sting with the huh. Can it be that passing up and down these streets on your way to work and business you do not learn. anything of the world's toil, and anxiety, and struggle? Oh, how many drooping hearts, how many eyes on the watch, how many miles traveled, how many burdens carried, how many losses suffered, how many battles fought, how many victories gained, how many defeats suffered. Low many exasperations endured—what losses, what hunger, what wretchedness, what pallor, what disease, what agony, what despair! Sometimes I have stopped at the corner of the street as the multitudes went hither and yon. and It has seemed to be a great pantomime, and as I looked upon it my heart broke. This great tide of human life that goes down the street is a rapid, tossed, and turned aside, and-flashei ahead, and driven back—beautiful in its confusion, and eo»6ised In Its beauty. In the carpeted aisles of the forest, In the woods from which ths eternal shadow is never lifted, on the shore of the sea over whose iron coast tosses the tangled foam sprinkling the cracked cliffs with a baptism of whirlwind and tempest, is the best place to study God; but in the rushing, swarming, raving street is the Sesi pl&oe ta study man. Going down to your place of business and coming home again, I charge you to look about—see these signs of poverty, -of wretchedness, of hunger, of *in, of bereavement—and', as"> you go through ike streets, ao4.«om« back through the street*!, .gather .JIB in.the arms of your prayer all the sorrow, all, the losses, all the sufferings, all the bereavements of those wbfsn yea pass, and present them in prayer before an all-sympathetic Got. la ihe great day of eternity there will be thousands of persons, with whom you 4a this worW never exchanged one WQXd, rise up and call you blussud; amd"there will be a theusaad lagers pointed at you in heaven, atria*: T h a i is tae man, Caat is the woma*. who helped me' fc I was bfcAgrF. «ad sick, aad wand fe 1 gat Ion. The surgeon must come away from his study of the human organism and Bet our broken bones. The chemist must conjo away from his laboratory, where he has been studying analysis and synthesis, and help us to understand the nature of the soils. I bless God that all classes of people are compelled to meet ou the street. The glittering coechwheel clashes against the scavenger's car.t. Fine robes run against the peddler's pack. Robust health meets wan sickness. Honesty confronts fraud. Every class of people meets every other class. Impudence and modesty, pride and humility, purity and beaatHness, frankness and hypocrisy, meeting on the same block, in the same street, in the same city. Oh! that is what Solomon meant when he said: "The rich and the poor meet together; the Lord is the maker of them all." x I like this democratic principle of the Gcspel cf Jesus Christ which recognizes the fact that we stand before God on one and the same platform. Do not take on any airs; whatever position you have gained In society, you are nothing but a man, born cf the same Parent, regenerated by the same Spirit, cleansed in the same blood, to lie down in the same dust, to get up in the same resurrection. It fs high time that we all acknowledged not only the Fatherhood of God, but the bro±herhGQ_d__of man. • * • • Again, thn street impresses me with the fact that it is a great field far Christian charity. There are hunger and suffering, and want and wretchedness, In tup country, but these evils chiefly congregate In our great cities. On everyi street crime prowls, and drunkenness staggers, and shame winks, and pauperism thrusts out its me, and I am waiting for taem to come." 0, yes, they are waiting for you. Men who have money, men who have tafluence, men of churches, men of great hearts, gather them In, gather them tn. It is not the will of your Heavenly Father that one of these lit tie ones should parjUih. Lastly, the street impress*! me with the fact that all the people ar<a look ing forward. I see expectancy written on almost every faoe X meet. Where you find a thousand people walking straight on. you only find one man stopping and looking back. The fact is, God made us all to look ahead, because we are immortal. In this tramp of the multitude on thr> streets, I hear the tramp of a great hoet, marching and marching for eternity. Beyond the office, the store, the shop, the street, there is a world, populous and tremendous Through God's grace, may you reach that blessed place. A great throng fills those boulevards, and the streets nre a-rush with the chariots of conquerors. The inhabitants go up and down, but they never weep and they never toil. A river flows through that city, with rounded and luxurious banks, and the trees of life laden with everlasting fruitage bend their brancnes into the crystal. No plumed Vearse rattles over that pavement, for they are never sick. With immortal health glowing In every vein, they know not how to die. Those towers of strength, those palaces of beauty, gleam in the" light of a sun that never sets. Oh, heaven! beautiful heaven! Heaven where our friends are! They take no census in that city, for it is inhabited by "a multitude which no man can number." Rank above rank. Host above host. Gallery above gallery, sweeping all around the heavens. Thousands of thousands. Millions of millions. Blessed are they who enter in through the gate into that city. Ch, start for it today! Through the blood of the great sacrifice of the Son of God, take up your march to heaven. "The Spirit and tho bride say, Come, and whosoever will, let him come and take the water of life freely." Join this great throng marching heavenward. All the doors of invitation are open. "And I saw twelye_gates, and the twelve"gates were twelve pearls." hand asking tor alms. Here, want is most equalld and hunger is most lean. A Christian man, going along a street in New York, saw a poor lad, and he stooped and gaid: "My boy, do you know how to read and write?" The boy made nc answer. The man asked the question twice and thrice: "Can you read and write?" and then the boy answered, with a tear plashing on the back of his hand. He said in defiance: "No sir; I can't read nor write, nether. Cod. sir, don't watst me to lead and write. Didn't he take &»ay my father so long ago I never remember to have seen him? and haven't I had to go along the streets to get something to fetch home to eat for the folks? and didn't I, as soon as I could carry a basket, have to go out anfi pick up cinders, and never have no schooling, sir? God don't want me to read, sir. I can't read, nor write neither." Oh, these poor wanderers! They have no chance. Born in degradation, as they get up from their hands and knees tc walk, they take .their first step on the sead to despairs/Let us go forth in the name of the .Lord .Jesus Christ to rescue them. Let us ministers not be afraid of soiling our black clothes while we go down on that mission. While we are tying an elaborate knot In our cravat, or while we are i s the study rounding off some period rhetorically, we might be saving a soul from death, and hiding a multitude of sins. O Christian laymen, go out on this work.

LIfi them ui>I One cold winter's day, as a Christian man was going along1 the Battery in New York, he saw a little girl seated at the gate, shivering in the cold. He said to her: "My chi'd, what do you sit there for, this cold day?" "Oh," she replied, "I am waiting—I am waiting- for somebody to come and take care cf me." saM the man, "what makes Hut* for Karly Spring1. The selection of appropriate millinery for the early spring months is decidedly difficult. All interest has been lost in even the late winter hats, and, beside, they are apt to appear a II'.tie paseee, as fashions, more th?.n anything ejse, are liable to suddet: changes with or even without the slightest reayou think anybody will eome and take cam of y o a r "Ob," afar aaid, "my mother died last week, and I was crying very much, and she said: 'Don't cry. dfc«p though I A D *<%ne and yoar fatfcext la *«ne. tae Lprd win sand somebody to take care of you/ Mj mother « M r 4sU a lie; «•» ai#d some oat woald «osae aat take cat* of Then, again, there is a natural hesitancy to rush in the light summery creations on these fresh cool days; so the subject now to be considered is the unobtrusive but dainty demi-saison hats that are shown in beautiful profusion. A becoming "hat or bonnet certainly adds more to a woman's appearance than any other single article of outdoor apparel, and consequently should be selected with great care as to shape, color and general fitness. Hats this season show a marked tendency to return to the becoming downward cant of last summer, and thus afford a welcome shade to the eyes during the bright spring days. The hats, whoa tlU'i forward, are more easily worn by the vast majority than the flaring, fly-away effects so much in vogue during the winter. Toques in fibre cloth and cunningly woven straws will be extensively worn with both morning and afternoon toilets, while tulle hats are chosen for theater and reception wear. The tulle hat ia deserving of much consideration; it U unusually artistic, and has a fluffy graceful effect that can be obtained in no ether material. Ono beautiful tulle hat was fashioned with a small round crown and turned-up brim upon the turban style, the whole being made of small tuck-shirrings that induced a soft, ruffled appearance. Twisted pieces of tulle forsicd a bow at the center ot the front, aid through It were thrust two ornaments with enormous let tops and amber pins, which furnished all the decoration necessary. This seemingly simple hat required twenty yards of tulle in its construction and severai days of most tedious labor. A small hat of white tulle was covered with jetted black net and trimmed with long feather effects made of steel paillettes and caught upon the hat to the left of the center with a large cut-steel and Rhinestone buckle. Dainty soft tones of tulle are selected and embroidered with steel, gold or silver, or often brilliantly jeweled. Pale blue tulle sparkling with myriads of tiny Rhinestones was finished with two soft- white feathers artistically arranged in front, and running up the stem of the feathers were narrow black velvet ribbons upon which were fastened at regular intervals small Rhlaestone buckles. la case Canada beuomay a part of the United States, a native Missourian pro* poees the state motto for greater Amerka: "United wt stand, decided by Niagara Falls."

'Marl-Landi In Michigan. I Prof. I. C. Russell, of the geological •department of the U. of M., has recently made an examination of marllands in the southern part of the state, land found remarkably favorable conttttiens. The marl, mixed with ordijanry «lay, is used in the manufacture •o f Portland cement, and Michigan will evidently take a leading place in this industry. The marl occurs as a highly calcareous or limy mud or ooze in the bottom of lakes and in marshes. It tonally contains shells and appears Jight colored or nearly white on drylag, but it sometimes darkened by orpranic matter. The swamp - lands where the marl occurs are usually con- • nidered as of little value, but they are tJy worth more per acre than the of agricultural land, and at the .present time are in demand. •• " The Same Old Way. • "Three months ago farmers in this fctate could not get 25 cents per bushel for their potatoes. Then came the big Jreeze-up and the reports that all pitched potatoes had been ruined sent the r^rice np flying. Fifty cents was freely 'Offered by buyers, but many whose ^potatoes were in good condition re- .Aued to sell at that price, although it , double the top figure of a few before. Now it is being found • that the tubers in pits were not nearly -.mt badly injured as was supposed, and price has dropped again, and those could have sold at 50 cents, but out for a dollar, are doing some tail thinking. of Dead Soldiers Coming Home, "It would," writes Chas.

"I'll I keep my w«ather eye open," .said EBBIOD. "Yo« will requireto do so, I think." "YOB do?" exclaimed the Scotsman, growing anger. "If he proceeds thus, XU1 break either his heart or his neck." Next morning, Roberts, the old mano'- waTs man, who had always been Antonio's chief ncanser concerning his dreams, was nowhere to be found on hoard! All tithe hands wen turned up;. ta«t whole brig was searched, the forecaaU^ erths, the c*JJe-tier, and every placet ib©low from tbe fore to the after peak;!,but there wag mo traca of Robnrts, save his old tarpaulin hat lying crustedt and torn in the leo scuppers. He was last seen when turned up to take: the middle watch, which ex- :Crndnirom 12 to 4 d'.clock a. m., and Antomlo waB then in his hammock. Roberts was entaetd in the log as "havlsjg fallen overboard in the night,-' but his loss cast a terrible gloom over all the «hip. Suspicion jrrew apace, and seemed to become con-| flrmed,a№ open war was soon declared Between:the crew and Antonio. Everf.man was ready to take his •trick"aat the wheel, either than trust tae Etrgenie to his steering in the night, test he might lei her broach to, and lose, her spars, or do some other mischief; ..and no man, if he could avoid it,'would lay out on the yard beyond titim. No man would walk on the same eide of the feck with him, or exchange a word, or a light for a pipe, craise the same cup or plate; so he wag generally to be seen, leaning moodily uuad, alone, against the windlass btttc, with his Trtaak eyes fixed cm the horizon, as if he expected a rail or. something else to heave in sight.

Ai we kept the coast of South Africa well aboard, a few days after we saw Cape San Roque, or, as it is sometimes called, Point Pelinga, the northeastera extremity of Brazil, rising from the blue water like a purple cloud. But It diminished to a low black streak oa ©«r weather quarter when the sun set, and we found ourselves ploughing the waves of the South Atlantic. There fell a calm for a whole day after this, and while the Eugenie rolled lazily on the long glassy swellsf with her topsails flapping, and her courses hauled up, the sole amusement of the crew consisted in catching albatrosses, or In killing them, undeterred by the Old superstition that it was a bird of "good omen," or by the story of the "Ancient Mariner," of which they were probably ignorant. A flock cf these gigantic sea-bird3 congregated ur.der our stern, where they gobbled t?p everything that was thrown over to them; so Hislop and I proceeded methodically' to fish them on board. We procured strong lines, baited the hooks with pieces of pork, lashing thereto & buoy formed of a common cork, and lowered four of them over the stern. They had scarcely touched the water, when amid a furious flapping of heavy pinions, they were eagerly swallowed; the hooks and lines began to "be&r taughtly, and we soon had four gigantic albatrosses splashing the water into froth In their ineffectual efforts to escape. We towed them in, hand over hand, and after measurement found the smallest to be eleven feet from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other. Though rank and fishy in flavor, the flesh of these birds was made into sea-pies, on which the crew were regaled for two days after, and they partook of it with great apparent relish. But Jack is not very particular, especially when at sea. Though none of the crew shared the superstition connected with the destruction _oi_analbatross,and.prDba_bly_. none, save Hislop and myself, knew the splendid ballad written by Coleridge, it would seem as if our misfortunes commenced with that day's wanton sport! The huge sea birds became shy and left us. The sun set amid saffron-colored waves, and the western BkV was, all aflame, when the calls began to fill and collapse as the wind came in heavy puffs, causing the masts to sway from side to side, and the bellying courses to crack and flap with a sound like thunder. the courses were left fall, and with both sheets aft, for the wind was fair, the^Eugenie once more walked through the shining waters. Pull, round, and silvery the moon arose, and tipped with liquid light every wave, that seemed to dance onward with the brig, which in half an houj/ had the snow-white foam flying In Sheets over her catheads. It was afcoct the hour of 1 in the morning that the horrible events which I am about to relate occurred. I was in the middle watch, relieving Weston, who, as the tropical dews wers* heavy, always ordered Billy the cabin boy to give me a glass of brandy- and-water before going on deck, for ifear of ague, and then he turned in. The sullen Spaniard Antonio was at tthe wheel. Tom Lambcmrne, Ned Carlton and I were walking to and fro, loitering at times, and looking at the compass to see how she headed—now aloft to observe how the sails drew— anon over the side, where the water babbled merrily past, or ahead at the patch of blue and star-studded sky wbjch was visible under the leach of the tfore-course, as the brig's bow filled every now and then, and she rolled heavily from side to side, as all vessels do when running before the wind. All was very still, for, save the bubble of ihe water in the wake astern, or a gargle as it surged »up In the rudder caae, the creaking of a block, or the iron slings of the lower yards, not a sound stale upon tho first hour of the silent attorning. Two of tike albatrosses we had caught were hanging by the legs from •the gallows-top abaft the foremost, ftrheiy their peat extended wings swung somewhat mournfully to and. fro in the wind £nd by the motion r>t tto ship. <To be continued.) €»•• Trl*4 on Train.

Many women are denied the happiness of children through some derangement of the generative organs.- Actual barrenness is rare. Among the many triumphs of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the overcoming of cases of supposed barrenness. This great medicine is so well calculated to regulate every function of the generative or* gans that its efficiency is vouched for by multitudes of women. MRS. ED. WOLFORD, of Lone Tree*. Icwa, writes: ••DEAR MRS. PINKHAM—Before taking Lydia E. Pinkham'aV Vegetable Compound I had one child which lived dnly six hours. The doctor said it did not have the proper nourishment while I was carrying it. I did not feel at all well during pregnancy.

ANOREWS EWTOH. THURSDAY, APR. 6, 1899. Good Words About A Former Plnckney Boy. We clip the following fro»h a Jackson (Neb.) county paper which will be of interest to many of our readers as Mr. Kearney was once a Piuckney boy: The Bank of Dakota County put in this week, a very complete electric day and night burglar alarm system which will make life a weary burden to the burglar or robber who first attemps to bold up the bank night or day. It is a complete automatic electric night alarm so arranged, that no person can approach either the outside safe or the vault or the burglarproof chest within the vault, without setting off a large alarm bell in the bank and also three other alarm bells placed outside the bank in other buildings where people sleep all night. It is also arranged that all the bells will ring continuously, when set cff for 365 davB if not stopped, something no self respecting burglar could stand. For day alarm, there are push buttons for hands and feet scattered all over the bank and in the -vault,by touching any one of which—the alarm bells will be sounded in the three outside places. The bank of Dakota Co. is probably the very best protected bank in Nebraska. It has a vault of clinker brick 20 inches thick all around, laid in best cenient, with three steel doors and 3$ feet of solid cement and rock in bottom. Inside iju An Easter program was given by the little folks at the M. E. church Sunday. N Mrs. Y.

Outside is a fire proof safe with burglar proof chest and both this and the vault safe are provided with best time locks. In addition to the above, the bank has a steel door and bars at back of building and carries burglar insurance which absolutely insures against robbery day or night &sd now the eleotric alarms fitting complete, makes the protection absolute. The depositers of the bank will appreciate Mr. Kearney.s efforts to spare no expense in protecting the valuables of the bank. Eugene Kearney of Sheldon, la., nephew of Canker Kearney has come here to work in the bank. Mr. Kearney's business is increasing to such an extent that he requires a clerk.

Sao Francisco. № CALLS MAGAZINE Every state except three now has laws requiring scientific temperance instruction in the public schools, and in the initial letters of those three—Virginia. Arkansas Georgia—spel the suggestive word, "Vag." The British Medical Journal states that the paper used ia many brands of cigarettes contaiu arsenic. When arsenic is inhaled in small quanities it causes chronic cough, and other symptoms usually associated with consumption. Canon Wilberforce, preaching in Chichester cathedral, said he unflinchingyl declared that the licenad liquor traffic in our great cities was the peculiar fosterer of that particular class of out casts to which the poor victims of the Whitec'iapel murders belonged. Multitudes would be drawn out of the mire, would be disentangled from the network of evil round their feet, would be startled in the p ifehs of honor aud virtue, but for the frenzying temptation of the gin shop and the publicbouse. And no rescue work, no attempts to raise from the dust the daughters of our country's shame, would avail so long as the common sale of intoxicating liquor was permitted and encouraged by the state, and sanctioned or allowed to go unrebuked by the church. ~ ~ That the cigarette is a deadly poison is susceptible of the most positive proof. A few months ago I had all the nicotine removed from a cigarette, making a solution of it I injected half the quanity into a frog, with the feffect that the frog died iustantly. The other half was administered i to another frog with like effect. Both EARLY USE S O F OLA8S. KBOWB bat 'Orna- Glcrtoot) New* Come s from Dr . 1). H. Cargile of Waihita . 1.

Persons in cruciilxion often lingered on from day to day—crying, begging, cursing; but Christ had been exhausted by years uf maltreatment. Pillowlesa, poorly fed, flogged—as bent over and tied to a low post, his bare back was inflamed with the scourges Intersticed with pieces of lead and bone—and now for whole hours, the weight of his body hung on delicate tendons, and, according to custom, a violent stroke under the armpits had been given by the executioner. Dizzy, nauseated, feverish—a world ot agony is compressed In the two words: "I thirst!" O skies of Judea, let a drop of rain strike on his burning tongue! O world, with rolling rivers and sparkling lakes, and spraying fountains, yive Jesus something to drink! If there be any pity in earth or heaven or hell, let It how be demonstrated in beliaU of this royal sufferer. The wealthy women of Jerusalem used to have a fund of money wltri which they provided wine for those people who died in crucifixion—a powerful opiate to deaden the pain; but Christ would not take 't. He want«d to die sobe»v and so he refused the wine. But afterwards they go to a cup of vinegar and soaked a sponge in it, and put it on a stick of hyssop, and then press it against the hot lips of Christ. You say the-wine was uu anaesthetic and intended to relieve or deaden the pain. But the vinegar vas an insult. In some lives the saccharine seems to predominate.

There are some of you who have n< t seen a well day for many years. By keeping out of dr? jhta, and by carefully studying dietetics, you continue to this time; but oh, the headaches, and the sideaches which have beau your accompaniment all the way through! You have struggled under a heavy .mortgage of physical disabilities, and instead of the placidity that once characterised you, it is now only with great effort that you keep away from irritability and sharp retort. Difficulties cf respiration, jof digestion, of locomotion make up the great obstacle ta your life, and you tug and sweat along the pathway, and wonder wiion the exhaustion will end.

It Is comparatively easy to fight in a regiment of a thousand men, charging up the parapet3 to the sound of martial music; but it io not so easy to endure when no one but the nurse and the doctor are the witnesses of the Christian fortitude. Besides .tha,t, you never had any pains worse than Christ's. The sharpness that st'ing through hl^ brain, through his hand3, through his feet, through his heart were as great as yours certainly. He was as sick and as weary. Not a nerve or musele or ligament escaped. All the pangs of all the nations of all the ages compressed into one sour cup. He took the vinegar! There is also the sourness of poverty. Your Income does not meet your outgoings, and that always give3 an honest man anxiety. There is no sign of destitution about you—pleasant appearance and a cheerful home for you; but God only knows what a time you have had to manage ycur private -finances: JUSTUS the bfljs Tiram'pnfie" wages seen: to run down.

The fact that Christ himeelf took the vinegar makes him able to sympathize today and for ever with all those whose cup is filled with the sharp acids of this life. He took the vinegar! In the first place, there was the sourness of betrayal. The treachery of Judas hurt Christ's feelings more thon all the friendship of his disciples did him good. You have had many friends; but there was one friend upon whom you put especial stress. You feasted him. You loaned him money. You befriended him In the dark passes of life, when he especially needed a friend. Afterward he turned upon you, and he tool: advantage of your former intimacies. He wrote against you. He talked against you. He mlcrosconised your faults. He flung contempt at you when you ought to have received nothing but gratitude. At first you could not sleep at nights.

Christ owned not a house in which he stopped, or the colt on which he rode, or the boat in which he sailed. He lived in a borrowed house; he was burled in a borrowed grave. Exposed to all kinds of weather, yet he had cnly one viit of clothes. He breakfasted in the mcrning, &nd no one could possibly tell where h3 could get anything to eat before night. He would have been pronounced a financial failure. He had to perform a miracle to get money to pay a tax-bill. Not a dollar did he own. Privation of domesticity; privation of nutritiou* fcod; pilvaf-icn of a comfortable couch on which to sleep; privation of all worldly resources! The kings of the earth had chased chalices out of which to drink, but Christ had nothing but a days they saw•a sky. They signaled vessel caane nearer, the people- on the suffering ship cried to the captain of the tfther vessel. "Send'ns^merwater. We are dying for lack of water."

Oh, i: is too still now. You lost your patience when the t^ps, and the strings, and the shells were left amid floor; but oh, you would be willing to have the trinkets scattered all over the floor again, if they were scattered by the 9ame hands. With what a ruthless ploughshare bereavement rips up the heart! But Jesus knows all about that. You cannot tell him anything cow in regard to bereavement. He had only a few friends, and when he lost one it brought tears to his eyes. Lazarus had often entertained him at his house.

DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN NEWS A Company IIIM Been Organised to duoe » Heeoad Klondike at tbe Farla Exposition— A Taeoau Man Killed HU "Wife While Dreaming. War In the tensoan Itlands. The news from Samoa that the U. S. cruiser Philadelphia and the British cruisers Porpoise and Royalist had bombarded the towns held by Mataafa, who has thus far had the official support of the German government, came with startlrag suddenness to officials at Washington, and displaced for the time being the attention given to the fighting around Manila. The shelling of Mataafa was looked upon as of secondary importance but the deepest interest attached to the attitude of the German government. That some overt act would take place has been apprehended for many days but there was little idea it would take such a broad sweep and lead to such heavy loss of life. In this aspect of the case the actual results were regarded as far more serious than those which had been expected and provided for during the recent diplomatic exchanges between the three governments. Moreover, new elements of international danger had unexpectedly arisen. These included the proclamation of the German consul, Rose, which, it is believed, tended to incite the Mataafa party to an open revolt. Also the wounding and killing of British sailors and marines, the shooting of an American sentry and the attacks on the several consulates. WAR NOTES, Succession to German Thrones. Advices from Berlin says: Threre is a strpngly growing sentiment in favor of excluding foreign born princes from succession to German thrones. The death of the hereditary prince of Saxe- Coburg and Goths and the question of the throne of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha ^tare-started- a dise»ssion -which has taken a violent form in some of the papers. A member of the bundesrath has often discussed the matter during the past month, and that while nobody thinks of excluding the present heir to the throne of Coburg, some new legislation on the subject will .shortly be proposed in the bundesrath jointly by the German governments, and that later it will be sent to the reichstag. Shot His Wife in a Dream. Dr. Chas. Corey, of Tacoma, Wash., shot and killed his wife while, according to his story, the two were lying asleep. Corey was ill and his story of the affair is that he was laboring under a nightmare, believing his wife was being pursued by a stranger who was intent on killing her. Just as the pursuer was about to stab his wife, according to the dream, Corey fired two shots from his revolver. He awoke with a start to find himself sitting in bed with a revolver in his hand. The husband is nearly crazed with grief and friends are watching him to prevent his suicide. The naval board of promotion, con sisting of Rear-Admirals McNair, How ell and Howison, have completed and submitted its report. The. ep passes favorably on all the offlijers appointed, so that all questions of their advancement is removed. The list is as follows: Rear-Admirals George C. Remey, Norman H. Farquhar. John C. W&Uon, Henry B. Robson. Win field 8. Schley, Silas Casey, Wm. T. Sampson, Bartlett J. Cromwell, John W. Philip, Francis J. Higginson, Henry F. Picking, Frederic Rodgers, Louis Kempfl, Geo. \V. Sumner. As Mr. Robson has retired, Capt Benj. F. Day is made a rear-admiral. The fighting in the Philippines is still going on with a terrible loss of life. A report says Americans lost 45 kilted and 145 wounded in one day, which was much lighter than the previous day. The insurgent loss is not estimated, but is said to be very heavy. The latest advices is to the effect that the rebels fired Malabon and Polo and repeated to Malolos, where, it is believed, they will make their last stand. Our troops are in pursuit, capturing trench after vrench. In an answer to a letter from the postmaster-general of the army, requesting a decision as to the class of enlisted men of the regular army entitled to the benefits of extra pay on discharge from the army, Solicitor Tracewell of the treasury has decided that the men who enlisted for the war only and are entitled to extra pay are those who went in after the act of April 20, 1898, which authorized the increase of the regular army. Capt. O'Neill, chief of the ordinance bureau of the navy department, has forwarded to the secretary for his approval a form of circular advertising for bids for armor for the battleship Maine and the four monitors authorized last spring and the three battleships and three armored cruisers authorized by the last naval appropriation bill. Spanish officers acquainted with the Philippine islands continue to predict the failure of Maj.-Gen. Otis'campaign, notwithstanding the American Paccess. They say that while the Americans will undoubtedly win all the battles they wittlose^the campaignitsrtf;owing to the aptitude of the Tagalos to conduct u war of surprises and ambuscades. Secretary Alger has reported a favorable condition of affairs in Cuba and has expressed the opinion that more troops than are now in the island will not be needed. After the volunteers ave sent home, there will be 14 regiments with a total of IS,000 men in Cuba, making two regiments of regulars to each province. Klondike at the ParU Exposition. An in port ant corporation has just been organized under Canadian and New York auspices, to exploit to the world at the Paris exposition a perfect representation of life and work in the Yukon territory including ail phases of mining, by men direct from the Klondike. An exact counterpart will be built representing a portion of the main street of Dawson. There will be Indian villages, dog teams, together with moving pictures, the latter to be the result of an entirely new machine which Thos. A. Edison is now constructing. S1.0O0,OwO for rive Steamer*. It is learned on good authority that the American Steel & Wire Co. has secured control of the five steamers of the Zenith Transit Co. The vessels sold are the steamers Queen City, Empire City, Zenith City, Superior City and Crescent City. They are all of the largest class, and the deal is the largest ever made on the great lakes.

Three more of the band of brigands that had been operating in the San Luis district have been captured, and the entire band is now in custody. Among those arrested charged with complicity in acts of brigandage are several former insurgent officers, all cf whom, however, assert their innocence. The six additional mountain guns asked for by Gen. Otis a short time ago are now on their way to Manila. These guns are 2 pounders and can be taken anywhere that mules or men can go. Geu. Gtis has eight of these guns, besides four 12-pounders of the Actor battery. As soon as Gen. Otis achieves a decisive victory over Aguinaldo, the Philippine commission will issue a proclamation promising amnesty to all natives who lay down their arms and self-rule to those who recognize the sovereignity of the United States. Malolos, the insurgent capital, has been taken, and the rebels arc now with Aguinaldo and his cabinet north of the capital. The American loss was 4 killed and 23 wounded. Before the insurgents retreated they applied tUe torch to their former capital. As soon as the Sheridan arrives at Manila Gen. Otis will have 1,900 reinforcements. Besides this six regiments of infantry and artillery, comprising 8,000 men, one regiment of which has started, are under orders for Manila. Hsrry Huber, aged 20, a member of the hospital corps with the 1st California volunteers, was literally cut to pieces by the Filipinos, while acting as a spy. His home was in Oakland, California. The Americans have won a sweeping victory over Aguinaldo's forces. Tbe American loss was 100 killed and wounded, and the Filipinos between 900 and 300. The American casualties for tbe three days' hard fighting was 53 killed and 211 wounded. The total number of American catuaKieaueiaee Feb. 4 U 157 killed 8*4 An Excellent Combination.

A dilapidated shawl supported by crotched sticks served as a wind-break and on the leeward side a small fire sputtered. Seated on chunks of woods, as near the fire as smoke and heat would allow, the pair were found perusing a well worn copy of the Bible. Several villages in the state are discovering that, in their zeal to reward tufficient village officers by electing them for another term, they have violated the terms of their charters. The law provides that no one shall serve as village treasurer more than two terms in succession, but In many places this provision was completely overlooked and competent treasurers re-elected for a third term.

"He must have crept behind the longboat and got into tha forecastle," suggested Carlton. 'I'll bring him up with a round turn for playing this trick," grumbled Lambourne. "Hush," said I, as a strange sound fell upon my ear. "What is it?" f-ked the others, listening. "A cry—did you not hear it?" "No—nonsense!" said they, together. "It was a cry that came from somewhere.'! "I'did'hear something," said Will White; 'but it was a sheave creaking In a block aloft, I t'hink." "No, nc." said I, pausing by the capstan, as a terrible foreboding seized me; "it came from the cabin."

"But the sound was from the cab- In/ ' I persisted, hastening aft At that moment another cry, loud and piteous—a cry that sank into a hoarse moan, echoed through the brig, "piercing the night's dull ear/ ' and ringing high above the welter of the sea alongside, the bubble at the stem and stern, or the hum of th,e wind through the taut rlgsing. We all rushed aft to tWcooapafiloa, and at that instant Antonfo Bprang up the cabin stair. By the clear splendor Of the tropical moonlight we could *9$ that his- usually swarthy' visage was paie as 'deaths while his black eyes biased like two burning coals. He grasped his unsheathed knife,the blade of which, as well as his hands and, clothes, were covered with blood! My heart grew sick with vague apprehension, and my first thought was for a weapon; but none was aear. "What have you been about, you rascally picaroon—and why did you leave the wheel?" shouted Lambourne, becoming greatly excited; "the masts might have gone by the board—what devil's work have you been alter be-r low?" Then the dark Spanish ereole grinned, as the blood dripped from his hands on the white and moonlit deck. "Knock him down with a handspike, Carlton," added Lambourne, who could not leave the wheel; "knock him down—the shark-faced ewabf' On hearing this, Antonio drew from his breast a revolver pistol, one of a pair which we knew always hung loaded in Weston's cabin, and fired Straight, at the head of Carlton—who dodged the shot, which killed the seaman named Will White, who stood behind him. The ball pierced the brain of the poor fellow, who bounded convulsively nearly three feet from the deck; he fell heavily on his face and never moved, again, tojr he was dead—dead as a stone. In its suddenness this terrtbfcr deed paralyzed us with horror, not unmixed with fear, as we were all unarmed and completely in the power of this Spanish demon, the report of whose pistol brought all №« startled crew tumbling over each other out of.the forecastle. "Aha, maldita!

I am address, the half of which was scarcely understood by our men, as it was said in Spanish. "Basta!" (avast) I see that you do understand," he resumed; "and now begin by obedience. Throw this carrion— thsi bestia muerta—overboard". But parceiving how we all shrank back— "Overboard with him!" he added, brutally kicking the inanimate body of poor Will White; "or demonio, I shall send the first who disobeys me to keep him company." He grasped me by the hand—his hateful clutch was firm as a smith's vise—and then he leveled his pistol at the head of Ned Carlton. For a moment the latter stood irresolute, and then, seeing the black muzzle of the revolver within a foot of his head, he muttered a deep malediction, stampod bis foot with rage on the deck, and said: "Mr. Rcduey, bear a hand with me to launch this murdered man—this poor fellow—overboard"! "Obey!" thundered Antonio. Like one in a dream I bent over the dead man, on whose pal'o face, glazed eyes and relaxed Jaw the bright moonlight was shining, and in my excitement and bewilderment I nearly slipped and fell into the pool of blood which flowed from his death v/ound. I had never touched a corpse before, and an irrepressible shudder ran through all my veins. But, that emotion once over, I could have handled a dozen with perhaps indifference; and there are few who, after touching the dead, have cot experienced this change of feeling. Ned Carlton, with a sound like a sob in his honest breast—a sob of mingled rage and commiseration—raised the yet warm body; I took the feet, and through one of the quarter-boards, which was open, we launched it into the great deep, and as the brig flew on, rolling before the early morning wind, there remained no trace of poor Will White, but his blood, a dark pool upon the deck, and the crew stood staring at it and at each other with blank irreeolattoa, horror and dismay expressed in ail their faces. Erapty-haaded aad defenseless as we all were, each was afraid to apeak or act, leet he might be the next victim whom the merciless Cubano would ihootdown. With a growl of defiance Antonio now turaed away, and, brandishing th& revolver in token of the obedieibce he meant to exact, he descended slowly into the cabin, where we soon heard him £m&shta£ .open the lockers, aad busy with the case-bottles in the steward's locker, or Billy the cabin boy's pantry. His departure seemed a relief to all, bat in hali a minute after he was gone below little Bill; . or "Boy Bill," as he was usually termed, whose sleeping place was the steerage, rushed up the cabin stair in his shirt and ran among u£, sobbing with fear and dismay.

Scmei time elapsed before the ppor boy became sufficiently coherent to be understood, but it would seem that on. hearing the first cry, which had &larv-«d me, he sprang o&t of his berth, which was at the foot of the companion way,, and on looking iuto the cabin, he saw' by the night light which swung in the skylight, the Cub&Bc, armed with a bloody kntfe> rush from the captaln'3 state room into that of the mate, which waa opposite. Another choking cry acquainted him. that Antonio had stabbed Hislop in Ills sleep; and fearing that his own turn would come next, he had crept Into an empty cask which lay below the companion- ladder, and remained there, trembling with dread, until he took an opportunity of rushing on deck and joining us. This terrible revelation added to cur dismay. We were now in a desperate predicament, without a captain or mate to navigate the brig, and *t the mercy of a well-armed desperado, to whom homicide was a pastime; thus, all who had handled him so severely on the night we crossed the line began to feel no small .degree, of alarm for their own safety, being certain that men Mood woitfd be shed the moment he .came on deckL . . .

Lambourne ventured to peep down the skylight, when he saw Antonio drinking brandy from a case bottle, without troubling himself with a glass. Then the Spaniard proceeded to attire himself in the best clothes of Captain Weston; be forced open several lockfast places, and took from them money and Jewelry, which he concealed about his person. What his ultimate object could be in performing these acts of plunder on the open sea, we could neither conceive nor divine. bu;t on chancing to glance upward, he caught a glimpse of Tom's eyes peering down. There was an explosion, a crashing of gliss and a ball from a revolver, fired upward, grazed Tom's left car and pierced the rim of his sou'-wester as a hint that our Cubano had no intention of being overlooked in his operations below. We heard him close the cabin door with a bang, and after locking it, throw himBelf on the floor behind it, with the intention of sleeping, probably, but with the full resolution that no one should enter without disturbing him; aud in this way, after examining his pistols, he reposed every night afterward while on board. "By jingo! I thought the killing o* them birds would lead to bad luck somehow," said Henry Warren, an old foremast man, with a reproachful glance at me, as he threw the two albatrosses overboard. We now held a solemn conference to meet the emergency which was certain to come anon, and to consider the be3t means of subduing and disarming the culprit. "Whoever goes nigh him in the cabin, either by the door or the skylight, risks being stabbed or shot," said Tattooed Tom; "so we must go to work some other way, shipmates, and that other way must be considered." "We might close and batten the Bkylight and companionway, and then starve or smoke him out," suygested one of the crew, Francis Probart, our carpenter. "Smoke him out?" echoed Tcrrou "Yes, as we do rats." ' "By what?" "Fill a bucket with spun yatx* and greaBed flax, with sulphur and bilgewater— ain't that the medical compound for rats?" "Nonsense," said Tom; "you vmild burn the ship " "As he has often threatened to do," eald Carlton, "and may do yet," A most extraordinary scheme was proposed by one man—that we B^ould launch the longboat, throw into her eome bags of bread and gang-casks of water, trcship the compass, doublebank the oars, and shove off for the coast of South America, after scuttling the brig and leaving Antonio to his fale.We were in a horrible state of perplexity, and I seemed to see constantly before me the gashed bodies of my two kind, brave and hospitable friends —Captain Weston and Marc Hislop— lying in their berths dead and unavenged, with their destroyer beside them! We had the capstan-bars, and with these it wae proposed to assail him when next he came on deck. Then we had the carpenter'B tools, among which a hand-saw, an auger, an adze and a hatchet, made very available weapons, and these, with the old cutlass and harpoons which figured on the night we crossed the line, were speedily appropriated. I was armed with a heavy claw-hammer, and, mowing firmly to stand by each other, we resolved to lynch Antonio the moment he came out of his den. While we were thus employed in devising the means of punishment, the dark shadows of night passed away; the morning sun came up iz his tropical splendor, and the blue vravee of the southern sea rolled around us in light, but not a sail was visible on their vast expanse. The crew seemed pale and excited, as they might well be, and, with buckets of water we cleansed the deck from the blood that stained i t The morning advanced into noon, and the vessel was steered her due course, for the wind was still fair. Ned Carlton was at the wheel, and the men were all grouped forward, when suddenly Antonio- appeared on deck with a knife in his sash and a revolver in each hand. He was so pale that his olive face seemed almost a pea-green, and n black crust upon his cruel lips showed the extent of his potations In the cabin. He glanced into the binnacle, and perceiving that the brig was still being steered her old course, he cried, In a hoarse voice: "Hombres, allegarse a la cuesta!"

How unfortunate that those people who beat know how to run a newspaper are invariably engaged in some other business.

A flock of germs apparently struck the city in a bunch.

The newest scheme which is being worked on the Michigan farmer is a smooth agent to secure permission to tack up a few signs on the farmer's barns and fences, and then ask the unsuspecting granger to sign an agreement not to "tear downthe signs for ninety days.

Of every 200 persons who reach the age of 40 years, 125 are married and 7$ unmarried, At 60 years the proportions are 48 to 22; at 70 years, 27 to 11; and at 90 years, 9 to 3. Fifty centenarians had all been married. The doctor asserts that that the rate of mortality for husbands and wives between the ages of 30 and 45 years is 16 per cent, while that for unmarried persons is 28 per cent. A short time ago, the roof of the stand pipe attached to the water works at Napoleon, Ohio, was blown off in a heavy wind storm, and the upper part of the ladder leading to the top was carried with it. J^u ingenious plan for replacing the roof was adopted and successfully carried out. The water was withdrawn from the stand pipe and a raft built on inside. Water was then turned on, and the raft laden with workmen and utensils was gradually raised at the rate of about 25 feet an hou r.

The following extracts are from the work: Neal Don was born March 20, 1804 and died Oot 2, 1897. He was a man of wide experience, | often helping important positions, such as director of banks, manufacturing, railroads and other corporations. Ba served as Colonel and afterwards as Brigadier- General in the war for the Union; was twice wounded in battle and for many months a prisoner of war. To Neal Don, world-wide fame came through his long and self-sacrificing services for temperance. The present generation The April number of Ticks ex* oellant garden journal come© to hand promptly and filled with matter of interest t o all those having gardens or who are interested in plants. T h e illustrations are excellant and appear o n nearly every page.

Low small; traveling hundreds of miles in his own conveyance. No hamlet was so small that he did not reach it He prepared and circulated petitions to the Legislature for a prohibitory law. In season and out of season, upon every available opportunity whenever he thought it would aid his object, he proclaimed his abhorrenoe of the liquor trade and his determination to surpress it and to oppose all who favored it. He became the object of hostility. Incendaries fired his buildings; ruffius attacked him in the. street; rascals assailed his house with missils though always to their discomfort But undaunted he kept on his course convinced that he was making progresss, perhaps slowly, but surely. In 1851 Mr. Don was elected mayor of Portland, Maine, by a larger vote than ever before given then to a mayoralty candidate. Clothed now with official influence he appeared before a legislative committee with a draft of prohibitory law. The bill passed both houses and was approved by the Governor June 2, 1851, and has ever since been known as "The Maine Law". In 1855 he was again elected mayor. Two or three years later he was elected to the legislature. In 1857 and twice after at the invocation of the United Kingdom Uliance, he visited Great Britain iud without compensation devoted more than four years ^of ime to the advocacy of prohibition- before great audiences. Since two genertions ago Neal Don put bis hand to the plow and lie never looked back. Whoever elfee faltered be never wearied. Never undereetimating the teak no sucoeee ever elated and no rebad of all agents of Grand Truck Railway, and connecting lines. Fast Steamboat Express train has Buffet car attached in which lunches and refreshments are served at reasonable rates, between Detroit and Grand Haven. has little conception of the task §t a t e s m a i ,h arriving at Milwaukee which he undertook more than 50 years ago. In the midst of conditions existing at that time to declare the liquor traffic hurtful in effect, it was regarded as an insult to the intelligent and as an impeachment of the integrity of the most respectful citizen. To urge its suppression was to incur the hostility of leaders in every walk of life. But convinced that no progress could be made while the liquor traffic was legally considered neccessary and respectful, Mr Don aimed to strip it of legal indorsement and to this end to convince the people that the trade was infamous through exposing it as the prolific parent of poverty, misery and crime. It is impossible to follow him through this work—it covered years. He addressed large meetings and Robbed tbe tirare A startling incident of which Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject is narrated by him as follows: "I was in a most dreadful condition, my skin was almost yellow, ey63 sunken, tongue eoated, pain continually-in back no appetite, gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up but fortunately a friend advised tryin? Electric Bitters and to my great joy and surprise, the firit bottle made a decided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks and am now a well man. 1 know they saved my life and robbed the grave of another victim. No one should fail to try them. Only 50c guaranteed at F. A..

An Irish philosopher says the only to prevent what's past is to put a stop to it betire it happens. • Concentration is the secret of strength, in politics, in war, in trade; in cbort, In all management cf human affairs. Of two evils the less is always to be chosen. That thou mayst therefore avoid the future everlasting punishment, endeavor to endure present evils patiently. : Spain's decision to prosecute Admiral Cervera and the former captain cf the Cristobol Colon for the loss of the fleet off Santiago, savors of the ethics of the Middle Ages. On the other hand, an act one hundred and fifty "years ago, of Maria Theresa, a collateral ancestor of the Queen Regent of Spain, embodies the generous spirit of .the nineteenth century. When Marshal Daun lost a decisive battle, after bravely contesting it, his quoen went out from her capital to meet him on his return, and by the warmest expressions of kindness and confldencs raised his crushed spirits. In this she von a cDmmendable victory. • The unjustifiabel severity of a parent is loaded with this aggravation, that those whom he injures, are always in •hi s sight. The domestic oppressor dooms himself to gaze upon those faces which he clouds with terror, and with sorrow; and he beholds every movemeet the effects of his own barbarities. He that can bear to give continual pain to those who surround him, and can walk with satisfaction In the gloom of his own presence; he that can see submissive misery without relenting, and meet without emotion tbe eye that implores mercy, or demands justice, will or aamomuou; he has found ol TALMAGE'8 SERMON. stopping the avenues of tenderness, and arming his heart against the force of reason. ' The suggestion to tax grain has been brought forward In the legislature of North Dakota, where it has been embodied in a concurrent resolution for a constitutional amendment. This provides that the legislative assembly tnay tax wheat, flax and oats and barley grown in the state and storeu in the elevators or kept for seed at a rate of not to exceed half a cent a bushel on wheat, the game on flax, a third of a cent on barley and a quarter of a cent on oats. At present the grains grown In the state pa y practically no taxes. The millions of bushels of wheat grown In the state are threshed and disposed of between assessments. The rate of a quarter, to half a cent a bushel, if applied to the mill ions of bushels of the varioue grains grown in the state, would, it 1* said, produce a revenue exceeding- 1250,000 . How the measure is likely to be received generally is not yet apparent from the adrices at band. : From out the smoke and carnage o! the late war, one incident shines like a star in a cloudy sky. It is that of the military funeral in Santiago last November of the body- of General Vara del Rey...

The rose may have disputed her throne in modern tlmea, and won it; but the rose originally had only five petals. It was under the long-continued and intense gaze of the world that the rose blushed into its present beauty. In the Bible train, cassia and hyssop and frankincense and myrrh and spikenard and camphire and the rose follow the lily. Fourteen times in the Bible is the Uly mentioned; only twice tho rose. The rose may now have wider empire, but the lily reigned in the time of Esther, in the time of Solomon, in the timo of Christ. Caesar had his throne on the hills. The lily had her thranie in the valley. In the greatest settaon that was ever preached there was only one flower, and that a lily. The Bedford dreamer, John Bunyan, entered the House of the Interpreter, and was shown a cluster of flowers, and was told to "consider the lilies." We may study pr reject other sciences at our option. It Is RO with astronomy; it is so with chemistry; it Is so with jurisprudence; it is so with physiology; it is so with geology; but the science of botany Christ commands us to study when he says: "Consider the Iilie6." Measure them from root to tip of petal. Inhale their breath. Notice the gracefulness of their poise. Hear the whisper of tb» white lips of the Eastern and the red lips of the American Illy. Belonging to this royal family of lilies Is the Uly of the Nile, the Japan lily, the Lady Washington of the Sierras, the golden band lily, the giant lily of Nepaul, the Turk's cap lily, the African lily from the Cape of Good Hope. All these lilies have the royal blood in their veins. But I take the lilies of my text this morning as typical of all flowers, and their voice of floral beauty seems to address us, saying, "Consider the lilies, consider the azaleas, consider the fuchsias, consider the geraniums, consider the ivies, consider the hyacinths, consider the heliotropes, consider the oleanders. With deferential and grateful and worshipful souls, consider them, Not with insipid sentimentalism, or with sopbomorlc vaporing, but for grand and practical and every-day, and, if need be, homely uses, consider them. The flowers are the angels of the^ When •ot for** s+rta > « * * * «U* >*ir They ail have voices, the clouds speak, they thunder; when the whirlwinds speak, they scream; when the cataracts speak, they roar; but when the flowers speak, they always whisper. 1 stand here to interpret their message. What have you to say to us, O ye angels of the grass? Th<«i morning I mean to discuss what no*ers are good fuf. T h »t is xny subject— What are flowers good for? I remark, in the first place, they are good for lessons of God's providential care. That was Christ's first thought. All these flowers seem to address, us today, saying, "God will give you apparol and food. We have no wheel with which to spin, no loom with which to weave, no sickle with which to hirvest.no well-sweep with which to draw water; but God slakea our thirst with the dew, and God feeds ns With the bread of tho sunshine, and God has appareled U3 with more than Solomonic regality. We are prophetesses of adequate wardrobe. "If God so clpthed \is. the grais. of the field, wUl he not much more clothe you, 0 ye of little faith?" Men and women of worldly anxieties, take this message home with you. How long has God taken ?are of you? Quarter of the Journey cf life? .Half the-journey of life? Tnree-Quartera ot the journey of life? Can you not trust hiic the rest oi the way? God "does not promise you anything like that which ths Roman emperor -had on his taftte at vast expense—five hundred nightingales' tongues—but he has promised to take care of you. He has promised you the necessities, not the luxuriesbread, not cake. If God so luxuriantly clothes the grass of the field, will he not provide for you, his living and immortal children? He will. If you aak me the question, What are flowers good for? I respond, they are good for the bridal day. The bride must have them on her brow, and she must hare them, in her band. The marriage altar must be covered with them. A wedding without flowers would be as Inappropriate as a wedding without music. At such a time* they are for congratulations and prophecies. <jf «pod. r So much of the. w+o<!fht^t& cover 4fc* feegl**- Flowart art appropriate At iack occasions, for is nUuty-ni»e,oat of a hundred casea.it4s't*e very'besi thing that could have happened. The world "it an in- » i l*i«*fbrows la wedded lil% -before they have begun arranges for the best So that flowers, in almost all cases, are appropriate for the marriage day. The dlveraencts of diaposUtoa will become corjeepoadeneee, reckleesneai wUl become prudence, trivtAUy will be turned Into pr*ct4o|lltp.i There has bean many an aged widowed son! who had a barefully locked bureau, and la the bagstau a box, and in toe bo* a tojded papasv aad in the folded paper a half-blown rose, slightly fragrant, discolored, carefully pressed. So* pat it U m i Iwty or fifty years ago. pa the anniversary of her wedding she will go to the bureau, she will lift the box, she will unfold the paper, and to her eyes will be exposed tbe half-blown bud, and the memories of the past will rush upon her, and a tear will drop upon the flower, and suddenly it is transfigured, and there is a stir in the dust of the anther, and it rounds out, and It is full of life, and it begins to tremble in the procession of the church atele, and the dead music of a half century ago comes throbbing through the air, and. vanished faces reappear, and right hands are joined, and a manly voice promises, "I will, for better or worse," and the wedding march thunders a salvo of joy at the departing crowd; but a sigh on that anniversary day scatters the scene. Under the deep-fetched breath, the oower3, the congratulating groups are scattered, and there is nothing left but a trembling band holding a faded rosebud, which is put into the paper, and then into the box, and the box carefully placed in the bureau, and with a sharp, sudden click of tho- lock the scene is over. Ah, my friends, let not the prophecies of the flowers, on your wedding day, be false prophecies. Be blind to each other's faults. Make the m.Q4t of each other's excellences. Remember the vows, the ring on the third finger of the left hand, and the benediction of the calla lilies. If you ask me the question, What are flowers good for? I answer, They are good to honor and comfort the obsequies. The worst gash' ever made into the side of our poor earth, is the gash of the grave. It Is so deep, it is go cruel, it is so incurable, that it needs something to cover it up. Flowers for the casket, flowers for the hearse, flowers for tho cemetery. What a '-ontrast between a grave in a cewtry churchyard, with the fence broken down, and the tombstone aslant, and the neighboring cattle browsing amid the mullein Etalks and the Canada thistles, and a June morning in Greenwood, the wave of roseate btoem rolling to the top of the mounds, and then breaking Into foaming crests of white flowers aih^trotmri tberptttows of dust! It Is the difference between sleeping under rags and sleeping under an embroidered blanket. We want Old Mortality with bis chisel to go through all the graveyards in Chrlstendom.and while he carries a ci^el in one hand, we wont Old Mortality to have some ilower seed in the palm of the other V°nd. * * * It was left for modern times to spell respect for the departed and comfort for the living in letters of floral Gospel. Pillow of flowers, meaning rest fqr the; pilgrim, whojhas^ got to the end of his Journey. Anchor of flowers, suggesting the Christian hope which we have as an anchor of the soul, sure and steadfast. Cross of flowers,, euggqeiing •he tree on which our sius were slain. If I had my way, I would cover up all tho dreamless sleepers,' whether in golden-handled casket or pine box, whether a king's mausoleum or Potter's field, with radiant or aromatic arborescence. The Bible says: "In the midst of the garden there was a sepulchre." I wish that every sepulchre might be in the midst of a garden^. It you ask me the question, what are flowers good for? I answer, for religious symbolism. Have you ever storied Scriptural flora? The Bible is up arboretum, It is a divine conservatory, It is an herbarium of exquisite ber.oty. If you want to illustrate the brevity of the brightest human life, you. will quote from Job: "Man comet^^otth as a flower and is cut down." Or yo£ wilt quote from the Psalmiec: "AM tfce flower of the field, so he perlshetft; the wind paseeth over it, and it is jpfte? Or you will quote from Isaiahi',\i-;-VJttf flesh is grass, and the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field." Or yon will quote from James the Apestie: "As the flower of the gras*>4ttfce posgeth away." What graphic Bible symbolism! All the cut flowers will soon beCji&i, whaterer^ care you tajco of * 6S[em« Though morninj and night yoac >iptiie them in the naae of the showor* the bapttsm win not be to them l e a v - ing ordinance.

Dust to duet So we come up, we prosper, we ipread abroad, we dio, as the flower—-as the flower! Change and decay in all around I see; 0 thou who change*! sot, abide with me! Flowers also afford mighty symbolbua cf Christ, who compared himself to the ancient queen, the Uly, aad the modern queen, the rose, -when he said: "I am the rose of 8haron, and the lily of the valley." Redolent like the one, humble like the other. Like both, appropriate for the sad who want sympathisers, and for the rejoicing who want banqueters. Hovering over tho marriage ceremony like a wedding-bell, or folded like a chaplet on the pulseless heart of the dead. Oh, Christ! let tho perfume of thy name be wafted all around the earth—lily and rose, lily aud rose—until the wilderness crimson into a garden, and the round earth turn into one great bud of Immortal beauty laid against the warm heart of God. Snatch down froiii the world's banners eagle and lion, and jm-t en lily and rose, lily and rose. But, my friends, flowers hH.-e no grander use than when on Easter morning we celebrate the re-animation of Christ from the catacombs. Th9 flowers spell resurrection. There is not a nook or corner in all the build- Ing but is touched with the incense. The women carried spices to the tomb of Christ, and they dropped spices all around the tomb, and from these spices have grown all the flowers of Easter morn. . T h e two white-robed angels that hurled the stone away from the door of the tomb, hurled it with such violence down tho hill that it crashed in the door of the world's sepulchre, and millions of dead shall come forth. However labyrinthine the mausoleum, however costly the sarcophagus, however architecturally grand the necropolis, however beautifully parterred the family grounds, we want them all broken up by the Lord of the Resurrection. The forms that we laid away with our brokeo hearts must rise again. Father and mother—they must come out. Husband and wife—they must come out. Brothers and slaters— they must come out. Our darling chil-^ dren—they must corae out The eyes that with trembling fingers we closed, ciu£t open in the luster of Resurrection morn. Tbe arms that we folded in death must join ours in embrace of reunion. The beloved voice that was hushed must be retu^ed. The beloved form must come up without its infirmities, without its fatigues—it must come up. Oh, how long It seems for some of you! Waiting—waiUag for the Resurrection! How long! how long! I make for your broken hearts today a cool, soft bandage of lilies. I comfort ycu thi3 day with the thought of resurrection. When Lord Nefeon w&4 buried In St. Paul's Cathedral in London, the heart of all England was stirred. The procession passed on amid the sobbing of a nation. There were thirty trumpeters stationed at the door of the Cathedral, with instruments of music in hand, waiting for the signal, and when the illustrious dead arrived at the gates of St. Paul's Cathedral, these thirty trumpeters gave cne united blast, and then all was silent. Yet the trumpets did not wake the dead. He slept right on. But I have to tell you, what thirty trumpeters could not do for one man, one trumpeter will do fot all nations. The ages have rolled on, aad the clock of tha worlds destiny Etrikes nine, ten, eleven, twelve, and time shall be no longer! Behold tie archangel hovering! He takes the trumpet, points it this- way, puts its lips to his lips, and then blows ore long, loud, terrific, thunderous, re* verberati&g and resurreotlonary blast! Look, look! They rise! The dead— the dead! some coming forth from the family vault; some from the city cemeter/; some from the country graveyard. Here a spirit is joined to its body, and there another spirit is joined le another body, and millions of departed spirits are assorting the bcdlee, and then re-clothing themselves' in forms radiant f?v ascension. 'n»e earth begins to burn—the bonfire of a great victory. All ready,, now for the procession of reconstructed humanity! Upward and away! Christ leads and all the Christian dead follow, battalion after battalion, nation after nation. Up, up! Os, on! Forward, ye ranks of God Almighty! Lift up your heads, y» everlasting gates; and let the conqueror* come in! Resurrection! Resurrection. And so I twist alt the festal flowers of the chapels and cathedrals of all Christeitdbm into on* great chain,' and with that chain / bind the flatlet mornjfig of ISM with the closing Easter of the world's history—Resurrection!

Uany Thlngi Were Different—Now-»-d»y» the Public Profit by Experience. When the striped polo or sign which now indicates a barber shop was employed to let the public know where cupping or bloodletting W&K professionally performed, close shaves were of daily occurrence; not tho easy remoral of tbe hirsute or hairy adornment of the head and face, but close from entering eternity. More than one unfortunate entered the barber- surgeon's doorway to leave it a corpse or so weak that weeks were required to get the victim of malpractice on his feet. Bloodletting was used for everything, from a heartache to a corn, and a pain in the loins was invariably treated with two Incisions, one o n ^ c h bide of the spine. Lake plasters and liniments, these helped from the counter irritation they created, and we presume £aab had- №r.

Cuban SolJlers Said to be Murderer*. The steamer Montserrat has left Havana for Spain, having on board 200 (Spanish passengers, formerly residents of Cuba, aud mostly small merchants. There have recently been at least three authenticated murders of Spaniards in the country and in some cases men of property have been killed. If it is known n? ho the murderers are the fact has not developed, though there are men in Havana who say there is evidence pointing to Cuban soldiers being the guilty parties and that since Gen. Gomez was deposed from the post of Commander-in-chief of the Cuban forces the Cubans have not had a head to rig idly enforce discipline and punish crime. ' liulgarlans and Turks at War. 1 A serious collision has taken placebetween Bulgarian and Turkish frontier guards at Kozyl-Agob, between Jamboli, eastern Roumelia, and Adrianople, on the bonks of the Toonja, 156 miles south of Jamboli. According to a dispatch from Sofia, capital of Bulgaria, the Turks attacked, a weak Bulgarian outpost, but the Bulgarians, aided by armed iixhabitants, repnlsed their assailants after a four hour* light. Both sides suffered losses of killed and wounded. The Tories were seeking to secure a position hitherto held by the Bulgarians. ; ' ' ; To the Disarmament Congress. The secretary of state has announced the constitution of the United States delegation to the disarmament congress which will meet at The. Hague in the latter part of May. The dele; ffatlon consists of Andrew White, U. 8. ambassador at Berlin; Mr. Newell, U. S. minister to the Netherlands; President Seth Low, of the Columbia university. New York; Capt.

A dispatch from Havana says that the local newspapers revive the rumor that Gen. Ludlow is to be transferred from Havana to the Philippines, and that Gen. Lee Is to be made the head of the new Occidental department. Gen. Lee's appointment would be an excel* lent one from a political point of view, for he has the cordial friendship of nearly all the elements in the population there, nnd has had a chance to gala a-valuable insight into the workings pf the Cuban character. It is now believed that the backbone of the rebellion in the Philippine Islands Is broken. Many of the natives have already laid down their arms and are returning to their homes. Those who have surrendered, and have learned that the promises of good treatment are fulfilled, are inducing their relatives to return to their homes, and thus it is believed the war will finally be brought to a close, or rather confined to the habitual revolutionists. "Four bundits, among them Antonio Nunez, a notorious desperado, were recently captured five miles from San Luiz after a lively fight with the men of the 9th immune regiment and taken to Santiago and locked up. A regular battle, however, has taken place near Holguin, between the bandits and men of the 2d immune regiment, two outlaws and one soldier being killed. Further serious trouble is anticipated at Holguin and Guantanomo. The Cuban military assembly at Havana has voted to disband the army and to dissolve. The muster rolls were left in the possession of the executive committee oT~the assembly, who will facilitate the preparation of copies for Gov.-Uen. Brooke. The army question id now considered settled and the Cuban soldiers will receive their respective share of the $3,000,000. According to Gen. Bates, who has been inspecting U. 3. troops in Cuba, the 31st Michigan volunteer regiment will receive orders to go home within the next two weeks. This is good news to most of the members of the regiment, as they are anxionsly looking forward to. the time when thsycan return home. The United States cruiser Charleston, which, has been cruising along the west coast of Luzon to the north, sent a boat in shore near Dagupan the other day to make soundings. The rebels opened fire, wounded a United States officer. The cruiser thereupon bombarded the town, the insurgents evacuating it. There are persistent rumors afloat in Manila that Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader, has been supplanted in the control of Filipino affairs, by Gen. Antonio Luna, Commander-in-chief of the Filipino forces. Luna is described as being a typical beligerent and a second Weyler. Acting Secretary Allen, of Washington, has received a letter from the manager of the Neptuae Co., the great Sweedlsh wrecking corporation, announcing that it is not possible to raise and repair the vessels of Cevera's fleet sank near Santiago. (ien. Otis has cabled the war department that the transport Sherman has left Manila with 100 wounded soldiers, which included all that were able to be sent home at that time. The casualties in the Philippines from Feb. 4 to April 4, 18M, inclusive, as reported to the adjutant-general, are: Killed, 184; wounded, 976; total, 1,160. The President has appointed Col.

The Michigan orop report for April. says that the extremely cold weather* la February was followed by peculiar and exceedingly disagreeable weather i a March. While the temperature for the month has not bee a lower than usual, yet the conditions have not bee^i avt all favorable to crops. There has been more or less precipitation all through tho month, bat this has not ;beaefitted wheat much, as the snow either blown away or melted wiy as soon as it fell. There has beeu much freezing and thawing, especially during the first halt of the month* This has caused many fields to be covered with water, or partly so a t least, which was unable to settle away, as the ground was frozen to a 'great depth. In answer to the question "Has wheat during March suffered injury from any cause?" 305 correspon dents ia the southern counties answer "yes" and 106 "no;" in the central counties 73 answer "yes" and 03 "no in the northern counties 17 answer "yes" and 43 "no;" in the upper penin «ula all correspondents agree that wheat has not been damaged during the month. 3,«78 Death! In the State for March. Purlng March there were 3,378 deaths l a Michigan, this being exactly 500 leas than in February. As March has three more days than February this represents a considerable decrease in mortality.

The death iat© for the rural population was only -slightly greater than that of the cities, instead of being markedly greater as in February. There were 623 deaths of infants under 1 year of age; 344 of children aged 1 to 4 yean, and 930 of persons aged 65 y e a n and over.

In a riot which broke out on the main streets of Pana, III., in front of the telegraph office, between white and black miners, in which deputy sheriffs took part, five men and one woman were killed. Nine persons were wounded, several so seriously that they will probably die. The cause of the riot was the calling out of 100 deputy sheriffs In the Fl«rroam and Penwell mining districts to protect several families of Negroes that were endeavoring to load household effects preparatory to leaving for Iowa. The goods they were moving were said to belong to the Pana Coal Co., who had placed guards over their property to prevent the Negroes from getting away with it. Oar Trade With Chins.

The Teutonic, Canada, Ultonia and Campana, sailing within four days, took together 3,000 Irish emigrants. The Teutonic's contingent is 800, and even then she was obliged to leave 60 behind, as there were no berths available for them. Killed by Dynamite.

He took us so suddenly by surprise, that, although we had been waiting and watching for him since dawn, his resolute aspect and the arms he wiolded controlled us all, and we stared at each other with irresolution in our purpose and hi our faces. No man, apparently, cared to act as our leader. "Presto!" roared the Cubano; "obey aad keep quiet, or, demonio! as there are so many, I have a great mind to Bhoot one-half, that I may control the rest. Cast loose those top-sails, and up with the royals again—set the flyhig- glb and main trysail—quick, perroa, or I'll make Bhark's meat of some more of you!" The crew esemed to lack either resolution or the power of combination, and no men appeared anxious to incur the sure penalty of instant death by acting In opposition to his peremptory orders in setting an example to the rest. So, sullenly and silently the sail trimmers stood by the tacks and braces.; the wheel revolved In the unwilling hands of Ned Carlton, who was compelled to obey, for the cold muzzle of a six-barreled revolver, capped and cocked, was hold close to his left temple. The head of the Eugenie payed off In obedience to her helm, the yarda swung round and were braced sharp up; and with the starboard tacks on board, in three minutes we were stoer* ing as due westward as her head would lie for the coast of South America. The alteration of our course furnished the crew ^rith a new source of speculation. It was evidently the Intention of Antonio, if he could reach the coast of Seguro, or that of Bahia, to eBcape with all his valuables and his vengeance; and to this end, if ships pussed without succoring or overhauling us, and if we did not destroy him, he might certainly destroy us, by scuttling the brig, or setting her on fire. The noon passed over without an "observation," for there was no one to work it, to estimate the latitude or longitude, to keep a reckoning, or take note of our variation and leeway; _nd lest we should signal any passing shift Antonio, who was a most thoughtful scoundrel, threw every color ov«v board. He did not come on deck again for some time, as he had plenty of spt?tt8 and provisions below, and the tell-tale compass in the skylight afforded him constant information as to whether the brig was steered in the direction he wished. He was constantly drinking, but never became so intoxicated as to be unwary. * And so the fated brig glided over the hot sea, under the blazing sun. The albatrosses came round us again, with tripping feet, flapping wings and open bills; but no one molested them now -~we had other things to think of; e>d as I sat on the anchor stock in the weather'bow, watching them floating in the water, or skimming over it with their vast wings outspread, I thought of the "Ancient Mariner,** and all that he had suffered for killing "the bird of good omen." I felt a strange dread creeping over me while these verses seemed on my tongue—they were so descriptive of the atmosphere and of the situation: "All in & hot and copper sky, The bloody sun at noon, Right up above tho mast did stand, No bigger than the moon. "I cloaed my lids, and kept them close. And the balls like pulses beat, For the sea and sky, «nd the sea and •ky, like a load on my weary eye, And the dead were at my feet" Remembering the manner in which Antonio first came on board—the mystery of his being alone in the bloodstained boat—his dreams—the disappearanco of Roberts—the occurrences of the morning—and though last not least, the rough treatment to which the crew had subjected him on the night we passed the line—none were very willing to enter the cabin where this savage Cubano, flushed with brandy, bloodshed and ferocity, sat with loaded pistols in his hands. But all felt that something must be done; that, while a doubt remained, it should be solved, and a life so importanttto us saved, even though others be risked for it. I volunteered to become the envey of the crew. "No, no, Master Rodney," said Tattooed Tom; "this will never do! What, do you think we will let you venture into that murderer's den while so many able-bodied fellows hang astern?" "But I know his language, which none of you do." "He speaks the Queen's English now as well as any of us," said Carlton, "and if I had only a pistol or a musket to give me but one chance for my life, I would have made it speak to him long ago, in the lingo such pirates know best." "Moreover, as I did not molest him on the night we crossed the line, he has no particular grudge at me," I urged. "There is some sense and truth in that," muttered several of the crew. "I'll go— it,Is settled," said I, anxious to solve the mystery of the groans, while feeling a glow Qt triumph at the applause I should gain for the risk I ran, which assuredly was not a small one. "It is a shame for us lubberly fellows to stand by here and see that lad risk his life," said Probart, one of the crew; "and if so be that Creole picaroon falls foul Of him " "If he does," exclaimed Tom Lambourne through his firmly set teeth, while striking his clenched right hand on the hard palm of the left, "may I never see England again If we don't attack him at stem and stern at once! I'll drop down the skylight, with as many as will follow me, while you, Ned, will dash down the companionway with the rest, and then at him with hatchet, handsaw and capstanbar. He can't kill u« all, shipmates, that's one comfort—he can't kill us all!" The prospect of an early demise was neither sootfced nor encouraged by this promise at the bloody scene that was to follow. The carpenter gave me a email but very sharp tomaitaw_:. I concealed it in my breaet, and resolved to use it to 6ome purpose if soolesled in the cabin. The idem Hashed upon me that by one determine* biaw I might disable him forever, and perhaps do an act of justice by dispatching him outright With a vague sense that I was about to face a terrible danger, and that the sooner It was faced and past, the better, I walked hastily aft, and on descending the ccmiia__o-lAdder, paused when halfway 'down, and after knocklag on tfae bulkhead called out distinctly and boWy— "Auta_Jo!

From the wild thoughts and fancies which the horrors of that early morn- Ing, our strange situation, and my own •rather active imagination, were suggesting, I was roused by Ned Carlton, who, on being relieved from the wheel, came forward to the bows, where moat •f the crew were seated on the windtae8,< or were lounging against the bitts, •peculating on what might turn up next. . Is an excited and impressive manner, he reported that be had heard, from time to time, the sound of moans, M from eefB*6M in great pain in the cabin; that he believed that either the cantata or mate yet survived; and If We omsM get down by any means we might be la time to save oae or the otter. If he was Weeding to death, the victim could not ftm* lonr-a little Putting a hand in tny breast to ascertain that my little hatchet was secure, I entered the cabin, where the Cubano, with Ms broad back placed against the ritdderease, was seated on the stern-locker at the table, which he had covered with bottles, biscuits. cheese and polonies while papers, dockets, broken desite. and boxea lay scattered about him. He was dad, as I have stated, in the poor skipper's best shore-going salt of clothes, which he wore open and loose, for the atmosphere of th9 cabin, notwithstanding the shattered skylight, was oppressively hot, as the sun was now almost vertical; the flies were la noisy rwarma. and the cockroaches were crawlingover the beams and bulkhead panels. On flrst hearing a foot oa the coapan- • Ion-ladder, he had evidently snatched up a revolver, and cocked it; hot on finding that his visitor was only me, he put it down, threw away the fag-end of a dxarito. and said, with a ferocious grim aad iroaical politeaeas— lias (a good day), a n I ipda*»ad.4»r W* It was the firat time I coolly destroyed a fellow-being aa he to with an indescribable loathing; but X bad a purpose to achieve, and determined to do It I was about to enter Western's stateroom, when the Cubano (cocked his revolver and cried, in a voice of thunder— "Come back, or I will shoot you aa dead as he is! Ha, ha! por grados" (by degrees) "I shall get rid of you all." I paused and locked at him; my roung heart beat wildly; I felt that I was facing death, and what would I not have given bad my hatchet been a pistol, even with one barrel, though my opponent was master of twelve charges. "He is dead, then?" said I In a husky voice. "Who—which?" asked the Cubano, with a fresh clgarlto between bl3 strong white teeth. "Captain Western." "Aye, dead as Judas!" said be, laughing hoarsely. "But I understand that Hislop -" I stammered. "El contra-maestre—well?" At that moment a low moan vrhich went through my heart came from the stateroom or little side cabin of Marc Hislop. "Well, hombro, vhat of Mm?" growled Antonio. "He is bleeding to death, and I wish to remove him." "Do aa you please; he will be food for the fish before the sun sets!" "You will allow me to take him on deck?" said I, earnestly, almost imploringly. "Yes; you have done me no harm" (he repeated this very often); woe to those who have done so!" A gleam of suspicion flashed in the eyes of Antonio as he said: "True; but not a man shall enter here, and leave alive. The ship-boys may assist you; but I will shoot the whole crew down like dogs If they venture to approach me; BO I give yon five minutes to carry the contra-maestre to the forecastle bunks, or to pitch him overboard, whichever you please, though the last would please me." "Five minutes?" "Yes, five by this watch," he added, pulling out of his fob a gold repeater, which, even in the excitement of the moment, I recognized to be mine, the same which my mother gave me when I first left home for Eton, and of wtiich I had been robbed at Tennerlffe. There was no doubting the little rings and charms which my sisters, Dot, Sybil and one of their female friends had appended to It; and thus I discovered another black link in the life of Antonio. I dared not appear to recognize it when his strong brown hairy hand, the bloody spots on which made me shudder, held it toward me, lest he might shoot me down, but summoned Billy Wilkins, the cabin boy, by desiring the man at the wheel "to pass word forward for him and another apprentice." The boys came, but not without great fear and reluctance; and while Antonio proceeded leisurely to make another paper cigar, keeping his ears open for every sound, and his black eyes fixed keenly on us the while, we entered the little stateroom of Marc Hislop and beheld a sight which filled us with the deepest commiseration and dismay. CHAPTER XXII. I Rescue the Mate. Pale as marble, with his lower Jaw relaxed and his eyes almost closed, motionless as if dead, but, nevertheless, still breathing slowly and heavily, poor Marc Hislop lay in his bed, the clothes and pillows of which were saturated with blood, for he seemed to be covered by wounds, and the crimson current had flowed over the piles of his favorite books, which were scattered upon the cabin floor, where they had been trod under foot by Antonio while overhauling the repositories of the unfortunate proprietor. Shuddering, and in haste, we lifted him from the bed, muffled him in a blanket and conveyed him, passive as a child in our hands, from the cabin. / * we passed out, for a moment it Beemed as If the ruffianly Spaniard repented of his temporary clemency; for when he saw the pale, bloody and Insensible form of the poor fellow trailed past, he made an ominous stride toward us, and threateningly clutched the hsit of the Albacete knife in his sash. Then waving his hand, almost contemptuously* he said: "Basta—go, go—it matters little now, either to him or to me. Demonio! I always strike deep." Alarm and pity endowed, us with unusual strength, and we bore the speechless victim of Antonio up the steep stair to the deck, where our crew, with mattered oaths of vengeance, and expressions of.commiseration, bore him Into the forepart ef the vessel. There a bed was made tor him on deck; for coolness, an awning was rigged over it, aad we had his wounds examined.

I t makes the robbing of orchards a felony to which is attached a severe punishment We clip the following from the Brighton Argus: Mr. Editor:—At the annual! township meeting a resolution was carried offering a bounty on all crows killed in the township of Brighton at the rate of ten cents per head. There is in my opinion an error in the good people of this town offering any such bounty or any bounty on crows; for the reason that killing crows is forbidden by law. Sec. 20, page 202, of the laws of 1897, provides that it is unlawful to kill any "insectivcrous" bird; and Sec. 30 of the same act makes it a misdemeanor and punishable by a fine of not less than $10 and not -ex ceeding $125 for each offense. As I understand it, a crow is an iuseotivorous bird and consequently those persons who may be comtemplating pickiug up a little change by killing crows had better keep oue eye open in the direction of the game warden.

One who seeks to interest and engage others in active temperance work, or to enlist recruits for the white ribbon army, finds a variety of opinion among the non-active in temperance work as to who should be expectetl to go to work and shoulder this little job, which all agree needs so much to be done. Or, to put the case less radically, it seems to very many as if it were the proper ditty and call of some, but not of others, to undertake some form of protest and opposition to the liquor traffic, though at the same time they will let you know that their common senBe,—or, is it their lack of faith?—teaches them that it can but prove a. hopeless warfare. One lady will sweetly hear you tell about the manifold opportunities for doing valuable temperance work along some one or other of the various lines of departmental work so organized by the W C T U that every man, women oc child, even the sick in their beds, who will, may lend a hand to help push the reform along. You will suggest a dozen different things so easily in her power, and urge the awful devastion of the drink traffic daily going on, and ask her to "join and help." What will be the answer? Perhaps she will say, "If I had any boys, I presume I should be very much interested." Or, perhaps, "My boys are men now, so perfectly free from every such habit, I have no fear for them; so it does not worry me." Or again you will hear: "The temperance work and the dreadful liquor traffic are so trying to my feelings that I cannot bear to attend such meetings. I never go to hear lectures, even; it upsets me so. Of course, we all know how true it is."

Produce Review. Yean of crusade against them by dairy papers. an>d butter sellers, and still mottles- we-*> plentiful as ever. The-.cause J.;t •&$. syot claim to know it. DHterent theories have been advanced by different authorities in the dairy world. Perhaps some of them are correct, Vitt ?vore than possible they are alt wore or less misleading. Uneven distribution of salt one says, and this perhaps is most frequently supposed to bf the cause. And probably uneven distribution of salt does cause mottles sometimes, but I know it does not cause mottles all the time. We are also told that mottles make their appearance when the butter is not salted at all, so we must look for other causes of mottles. Uaeven distribution of the color, or ,of the mud in the color perhap3. But also here we are told that mottles appeal where ne color is used. Other theories have been advanced: feed, frozen milk, make of separator, richness of cream, temperatures of cream, butter or room* all of which are more or less ridiculous. Uneven distribution of mottles I shall not try to argue, but will guarantee that if the mottles are worked evenly Into the butter, they will disappear. Aad -the thought may be nearer the truth than it appears to be at first sight, at least in the. absence of a known cause it does well, and Prof. Storch of the experiment laboratory in Copenhagen ventured the opinion that mottles might be of bacteriological origin. So much for the cause. How to prevent is hard to say until the cause is better known, but if mottles do make their appearance in your butter, I know of only one way to make them disappear,' distribute them evenly, work your butter more— work it until the mottles disappear. Uttble except 01 a small scale: aad often it cannot be profitably followed, even on a small scale, because of the coat 6* the labor involved U handling and hauling of leaves, muck, and other coarse and crude material!. (2) The other, and most practicable method, and one that is adapted to any scale of operations, is regular rotation of crops, including tmall grain, red clover, cowpeaa, or other renovating crop. A judicious, well-managed rotation may be made profitable every stage and every crop, as well as profitable In the lots, run.

Like the Hottentots, we can make a god out of almost anything; yea, and worse than they do, we may even worship ourselves. Cora C«itujff. A bulletin of the GeoT^Sa station says: Corn delights in a deep, mellow, rich and moist loam. Any of the ordinary soils of the country that are either naturally of the above characters, or can be brought into the required condition by proper—rotation, deep and Edna May in London declares that she cantifet get along wHtb her husband In San Francisco.

To watch the corn grow, and the bloa- «om set, to draw hard breath over the plowshare and spade, to read, to think, to love, to pray—these are the things to make men happy; they have always had' the power of doing these—they never will have power to do more.- Buskin. Qtteen Victoria's will is described as engrossed on vellum, quarto site, and •bound as a volume. When the queen's <5eatto makes the document a practical issue; will some one rise to offer the etock objections of "unsound mind" and "undue influence?"

No crop in thl3 section of the country takes the precedence of corn, writes a Nebraska contributor to Wallace's Farmer. It is so abundant and so abundantly useful. I do not know of any other crop that can be used for so many purposes. It makes good human food and admits of being prepared in so many ways. I don't know of any other crop that will supply the wants of our domestic animals so completely as the corn crop. The entire plant fed to cattle or sheep makes an admirable fattening ration, supplying both grain and rough feed of the highest quality. Do not fail to have a good corn crop. Then concentrate it as much as possible into the most marketable product, butter or meat, before it leaves the farm. Next to corn, if not equal to it, is sorghum, drilled in with the ordinary grain drill at the rate of three pecks to one bushel of seed to the acre. No one will believe the amount of good feed for any kind of stock this will produce until they try it for themselves. Then comes peas and oats sown together. I differ from many in the amount of seed to be sown in this combination. I think mostly too many oats are sown for the peas. I prefer one and one-half to two bushels of peas to not more than three pecks of oats per acre. Do not let the peas become too ripe before cutting. My crop of peas and oats seeded in the above proportions yielued last season over four tons per acre. Fan can Attacks pn Cedar Trees. From Farmers' Review: Anyone years the cedar trees of the Agricultural College grounds have been attacked by the well known brown fungus, the so-called cedar apple (Gynmospornnginus macropus). SonSe four years ago the department of horticulture began hand picking the fungous growth on certain groups of trees to determine Whether or not by this means the attacks could be reduced and injury prevented. From that time till the present these trees have been careiuiiy gone over several times each year and the fungus removed from them, it has not, with, very few exceptions, been allowed to reach tfee apore bearing stage. There has. however, been no diminution of the attack. The disease appears as vigorous at the present times as at any time in the past. The trees are more thrifty than they would have been had the fungus been allowed to grow undistributed, but they are no freer from the disease than others that have had no attention. Cedars can not be freed from this disease by hand picking, at least if there are other trees of the same species In the neighborhood that are untreated. W. L. HALL. Kansas Agl.

Perhaps the most essential requirement for an ibundfcnt yield of cOflf is plenty oC moisture in' the son. Without til's plenty of moisture, such a yield is ab-> $rijut«ly impracticable. Jt is-not tndJ «peBsabta that tti« moisture shall bo supplied Erectly by Abundant rains during the period of the__grow4k of the crop, but the requirement, must be met In some way. The supply of moisture ffom rainfalls may be supplemented, or entirely substituted, by irrigation, as is done In arid and sexrfl-arid. regions; or the farmer may trust to the clouds for a generous supply; but the ruo ti«* p««ch H.ODM. demand for moisture must be met.

These soils become thoroughly saturated with moisture during the winter and spring rains, and on account o t tbeir .deptlr and quantity of humus, they retain the moisture during u much longer period. In the absence ot such soils, if the farmer wishes to produce- "'regularly profitable crops oX-coro, he must bring his uplands, as nearly as practicable, into the condition of the loamy, bottom lands.

Lawton and King recently launched an expedition of three gnnboata, with 1,500 picked men in canoes, in tow of the gunboats. The object of ttte expedition is to cross the lake, capture Santa Cruz and sweep the country to the south. The expedition, which embarked at San Pedro Maoati, consisted of eight companies of the 14th infantry, three companies of the 4th cavalry, four of the North Dakota vol« unteers, four of tbe Idaho volunteers, two mountain guns and 300 sharpshooters of tbe 14th infantry. The banditti question in the province of Santiago de Caba is assuming much more serious proportions. l a spite of the fact that there have been many arrests in the neighborhood of Sancti Spiritus, including the principal leaders, the number of outlaws is increasing instead of diminishing. The gendarmes are practically worthless unless they are with American troops. Gen. Lawton succeeded in raising the American flag over Santa Cruz after a spirited conflict in which six Americans were wounded. The native forces, commanded by a Chinese, was driven into mountains, after having 68 slain, a large number wounded and captured. An American general has expressed the opinion thut 100,000 men would now be necessary to crush the rebellion. L. P. Mitchell, assistant comptroller of the treasury, in a decision rendered holds that while the marine corps cannot be understood to be a part of the navy for all purposes, the officers and enlisted men of the corps who were appointed or enlisted therein for the war only, and were honorably discharged, are entitled to the extra pay granted by the act of March 3, 1808. Word has been received of Gen. Law ton's victory in the vicinity of i'ugsajan and Lnmban. He succeeded in capturing- both towns, driving the insurgents up the mountain side. Six launch^* and two cascos were captured in the river. The rebel loss is said to IMJ liesivy. Insurgents made a desperate attempt to break our line of railroad communication the other nig-ht by attacking Gen. McArthur's forces, but were driven back by Gen. Wheaton with heavy IOSH. The American casualties was three killed and twenty wounded. Aguinaldo has issued a decree directing that Spanish shall ,be the official language throughout the archipelago, and protesting against the American pretension to force the use of g l i h ou the natives, who do not know it The l'r«*ldent°» Proclamation. president McKin1?- has issued the fo'io-.ving proclamation: Whereas, A treaty of peace between" 1 hi* United. States of America and her majesty, the queen regent of Spain, in tlu- name of her august son, Don Alfonso XI11., concluded and signed by their respective plenipotentiaries at Paris on the 10th day of December, 1£№. the original of which convention being in the English and Spanish languages, is word for word as follows: (Mere the full text of the treaty is included.) And, Whereas, the said convention has been duly ratified on both parts and the ratifications of the two governments were exchanged^ in the city of Washington ou the 11th day of April, ISM. Now, therefore, be it known that I, William McKinley, President of tbe United States of America, have caused Hie s>aid convention to be made public, to the end that the same aud every article and clause thereof may be observed and fulfilled with good faith by the United States and the citizens thereof. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington this lUh day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety-nine, and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and twenty-third.

He writhed on his bed of pain and sighed bitterly onflndfng how stiff and soro, how weak and almost blind he had become by loss of blood; but a crisis was now at hand with our Cubano. The evening of the fourth day after we had saved Hyslop found the brig stiU lying on a westerly course; but whether in the latitude of Cape San Hoque or of the Rio Grande, we knew not; and. I suppose, it was all the same to Antonio. I was at the wheel. The sunset was gorgeously beautiful. The Eugenie was running with both tacks aft; and under the arched leech of her courses I conld see the blood-red disk bf the sun right ahead settling in the waves, which shone in all the colors of the dying dolphin; while against the flaming orb the black outline of the masts, the figure-head and the taper end of the jibboom, with its cap, guys and gear, were clearly and distinctly defined. The waves ahead roee and fell between me and the sun, as slowly and imperceptibyl he sank at the flaming horizon, from a quarter circle to a segment; then the last vestige of that also disappeared, but the lingering rays 6t hf« glory played upward on the light clouds that floated above. Even they paled away and died out, and twilight stole over the sea, which changed from gold to a traaspareat blue. . . . • - . Witfc the -increasing1 twilight came B ctang* of wind, and before it a great bank «f ciood rolled from the horizon on our starboard bow. Under its shadow th4 sea was darkened and its broken water flecked with white. The new breeze; came first upon our quarter, thea rapidly it wan abeam and three grea& dlbatreaswj were Been t o whip the wa with tkeftftxrtftgg, whfle a whole where "ta#-ablp- we* drtriag or driftour bows, plunging Joyously from wave to wave. Tueks and braces were instantly manned and the sails were trimmed fijew for our desultory course. "riail ho—to windward"! Bald one of the crew> in a low but excited ^voice, lest the sound might reach the cabin; and as the dense bank of purple clouds opened a large bark came out of it, and her form1 became more and more defined as she left the vapor astern. She was going free—that is, with her head further off the wind than closehauled— and had a press of snow-white canvas, which shone in tae last, .light of the west. "She, i$ four mil.es off." a.ajd Carlton. u\Ve must signal her," added Lembourne. "With what?" asked Carlton, in the same Bharp but low voice; "every color is overboard." "Anything wljl do—a blue shirt at the foremast head; quick?—the sky will be quite dark in ten minutes. Run it up in a ball with a slipping loop, man-o'-war fashion," said Lambourne, in a loud whlsp«r; "get reader a ship's lantern some of you, for the night darkens so fast that we shall scarcely be visible when she is abeam of us. Ned, get Into the fore-channel and wave the light as a signal that we want a boat." \ ' These orders were rapidly obeyed and preparations made to throw the brig in the wind. While one man hastily got the lantern from a litthe round house, in which certain stores and tools were kept on deck; Ned Carlton pulled off his shirt, and was in the act of binding it to the signal halyards, when the Spaniard, whose quick ears detected some commotion, sprang on deck, armed as usual. On seeing Carlton busy with the halyards he looked round, caught sight of the ship, which was running with the white foam boiling under her foretoot, i n* Oust in a moment divined what we were about Muttering a terrible imprecation in flfr**-<r*1 he Ire* at CarHoav but missed btaa ftfr-betere, and shot dead a poor apprentice who was eloae by. --tarnat t^MUler, *«• * and 'blood can't bear tfcttff" saosUed Tom Lemhottcaa, whose fnry was soundless, and who aaatejpd'up a capstan-tar.

It went twenty feet Into the air and fell overboard. Quick as lightning Antonio pla/**5. the other in hlg breast, drew his knife, stooped his head, and darting through us like an eel, gave Carlton a gash In the thigh as he passed. He then made for the main rigging, and sprang on the bulwark, no doubt with the intention1 of running up aloft to some secure perch, where he might reload hU remaining pistol, and shoot us all down at leisure; tut he missed his hold of the rattling, and fell overboard! There was a shout of furoius Joy. "The sea will rob the gallows of ite duel" said Carlton; "but he'll ,b«. shark's meat, anyway." But Antonio was not gonci yet, foi in falling he caught one of the lower studding-gail booms, and clutched it with deadly tenacity, for he knew that if once he was fairly launched lntc. the ocean his fate would be sealed. His face was pale with combined feai and fury; his black eyes blazed with the fire of hatred; the perspiration oozed in drops from his temples. Tom Lambourne sprang forward to beat oft his fingers; but at that caoment the boom, a slender spar, broke from its lashings alongside, and swung out at a right angle from the brig, with th« wretch at the extreme end of it, dangling over the waves, like a herring at the point of a -amrod. Again, and again he writhed his body upward In wild struggles to get astride the boom, or to reach it with his knees, but in vain! Instead of exciting pity his terrible situation drew forth a shout of derision, mingled with expressions of hatred and satisfaction, from the line cf avenging faces that surveyed him over the bulwark, fie hung thus for fully five minutes, for Ue was a pov/erful man, o£ great strength, muscle and bulk. . I have no doubt this man1 was AS brave as it 1B possible for a ruffian to be; but the prospect of c.r\ immediate death—a death, too. from which there was no escape—terrified him. His glance of. hate.toward us turaed to one of wild and earnest entreaty, : "Mercy.!—pardon!—in the name and for the love of the Almighty!" he exclaim** in Spanish, in a tone of intense earnestness; but he waB heard by us with fierce derision in that moment of just triumph and too long delayed vengeance. E tee lwrch, and each time the feet and knees of the wretched Cubano were immersed in the waves. Beneath him was the abygs of water that rushed past the side of the brig. He panted rather than breathed, and through the dusk we could see how his aeathg hands turned white as his ^ace, and that the points of his fingers were blood-red. 5Als eyes grew wild and haggard as terror ebilled bis coward heart and. agooixed his soul; md yet through the surge the fleet cxwft flew on! Every moment increased the wei&tit of his body and the weakness of tie hands and wrists. At last it v/as evident that his pevers of endurance could be no longer taxed; he uttered a half-smotbe.<>d shriek, and closed bis eyes as be cluAg to that slender spar, and it swayed *o a.rd' fro while the close-hauled bTtg flew on!

There was a shrill cry of despair, li^c the parting shriek of an evii spirt, or the skirl of the gusty blast, as tfte boom, and the wretch who clung to it in blind desperation, vanished into t\e black trough of the sea, and, like a cork or a reed, were sw*2t amid trie salt foam to leeward.

Over at the dog ahow on the opening night a pretty girl followed by the customary masculine throng that always circulates around a pretty girl •8 a moth whirls around a candle, wandered through the aisles of the First regiment armory and listened to all the noisy canines sing their doleful# songs of woe and wrong. She patted the heads of the ugliest bulldogs and twisted a bunch of violets into the collar of a shaggy S t Bernard. She pulled the tails of the kinkled pugs and tweaked the ears of the jaunty fox-terriers. She righted a collar that had turned awry and even ventured to make friends with the bloodhounds. The dogs were happy and so was the pretty girl. The delight of the escorting masculine throng was not so evident, but they pretended at least that they enjoyed playing second fiddle to a dog rather than not having a chance to take part In her orchestra at all. One great bulldog evidently shared the sentiments of the men. When the pretty girl reached the cage that contained the ferocious looking brute she found it had no water and was barking its dissatisfaction at the turn oi affairs in the most emphatically protesting manner. "The poor dog," exclaimed the girl In crescendo accents of pity, and at odce she remedied the evil by helping her four-footed friend to some water stolen from the neighboring cage. After that act of mercy the dog, like the men, was her abject victim. It put both paws on her shoulders and laid Its head down affectionately, and when the girl attempted to wander away the dog cried so plteoualy thai she returned again and again to comfort it. "Poor thing," exclaimed ont of the surrounding men with a whim* •leal grimace, "poor thing. Who said that a dog hadn't the feelings of a man?" The pretty girl laughed and blushed and rewarded the speaker with the present of a very special smile. Mr. L. J. Danis advertising agent for Baxter's Mandrake Bitters, Henry and Johnsonr* Arnica £ 0\\ Liniment, an.dDowns' Elixir, made this office a pleasant call on his annual round, last week. The territory cared for by Mr. Danis comprised the state of Michigan, and portions of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and he visits every town once a year, making advertising contracts, and looking alter sales. These remedies are standard and well known to our people. It is claimed that Downs' Elixir is the oldest cough medicine made, it having been prominently before the public for nearly three-quarters of a century. Mr. Danis reports largely increased sales over any imprevious year since he has been on the route. This speaks well for Mr. Danis, as for the medicine he represents.

This consists of magazines, newspapers and serial libraries, carried at 1 cent a pound, and copies of papers forwarded free to subscribers in the country. The cost to the government of transporting second-class matter is eight cents a pound; the revenue from it was but eight and a half mills. From two-thirds of the mall matter handled in 1897 the revenue was less than onethirtieth of the cost of the mail service. No stamps appear on secondclass matter. The money for postage is paid to the postmaster, and he giveB a receipt for the amount to the pub- Usher. The use of "newspaper stamps" has been discontinued. There are 9,376 postofflees sending secondclass matter, and for 1898 there were sent 395,000,000 pounds; over 55 per cent of this bulk was sent from six centers—New York.

SHORT CHIMNEY STACKS. The Days of the Tall Ones Are Xnm* beved, It Is Said. . The days of, the tall, smoKa-belchlng factory chimneys are numbered, according to a writer In the Iron Trade Jteview. Instead there are to be short stacks and blowers. For illustration, the experience of a Boston manufacturing firm is related. Changes In the arrangement of the works necessitated the removal of the boiler plant, but it was out of the question to take the chimney along. In Its stead a fan blower was installed on top of the boilers, and provided with a special engine to drive it at just thek*ipeed required. It is automatically regulated so that less than one pound drop- rh steam pressure greatly increases the draft, startt up the fire, and brings the pressure hack lo where it belongs, t h e fan works by suction, draws the n * s t from ih# •oiler flue and forces t b n out through -a short stack exto&ding only IX feet above the boiler-room floor. The draught which may be produced is two or three times strongs? than that of the chimney which has been disparted, and is just as strong in aft kinds of weather, while the « o * V * U said, of the entire mechanioaVtat& sJBt statement, including tin •tack, hat b#ea lejs than one-half of that of a new chimney.

As he sits in front of yon* with his hands resting on the hilt of his sword before him, and you watch him speak to Munlr Pasha in his quiet, dignified way, you cannot resist the impression of his picturesque dignity. On other occasion* his dress is simplicity itself,»careely differing from that of his secretaries and other officials. He wears a black frock coat cut in Turkish fashion, which Just hides a whits waistcoat with a gol4 watch chain.

Bat these selfish motives and considerations are not the compelling power which moves the temperance reform along, nor, for the matter of that, any other reform. Sinners cannot save themselves, and it is about as true of suffers. The hope of the temperance reform is the capacity of selfsacrifice, for unselfish to others among the people. The appeal for temperance workers let it be said, once for all, is not to any man's or woman's selfishness, but to their conscience, their devotion to others, their spirit of self-sacrifice. This is the stamp of women whom we want and whom we get as W C TU workers. And because such unselfishness is preeminently a characteristic of a genuine Christainity, we have the right to the second world in the name by which our organization called. Every one who proves it by devoted personal experience knows how faithful the promise, "He that losest his life for My Bake, shall find it." Many a poor woman who thanks God in secret, through scalding tears, that there is t W O T U, never joinB it because it would so empheize her already crushing sorrow over the. drinking habits of husband, father or son, and to her overwrought feelings it would seem to advertise and publish the shame of it Many times the drinking husband' or father will not permit her to join anything of a temperance nature, and peace from ' persecution greater than ever can only be had by pretending indifference. Oftentimes the watching, the anxiety, the terror of the woman, whose home is also the home of an often, It is well known, that the nervous are directly effected by cigarette smoking—doabtless more so than by the ordinary cigar or super-fragrant pipe. But it may not be generally understood that nerves of the teeth are actually killed by this indulgence. It ap- (fears from the testimony of a Brooklyn dentist that this the case. The act to injury done by the peace and drunken man, leave no margin of thought or service that can,be given to the cause which her heart blesses in its anguish. And for very many of those who "ought to be interested" because drink has shadowed their lives, there is the hard struggle for a. lining, the finding of the home supplies because drink has sapped the earnings and the earning power of the husband and father. Woman would expect .to. be, branded AS something worse than heathen if they should fold their arms when a neighbor's house was being fired by an incendairy and say,"If that were my house, I should be interested, jn trying to stop such conflagrations." And it is especially the duty, the call, ofiUhoae who fcearte have never been broken, whose lives have not borne the curse of drink, to be first and most helpful in fighting down the rum traffic. Simple gratitude ought to inspire such to action. A little enthusiasm for humanity, a little of the Christ-love in our souls, a little patriotic desire to save our country from the tide of ruin, a little compassion for everybodys' the beer order of rual neighborhoods, not to mention domestic happiness, industry and economy, has been proved by witnesses from every class of so* ciety to have exceeded the evils of any single act of internal administration passed within the memory of man.—London Globe. An Indiana grocer has printed the following in a circular (of course in sarcasm), addressed to his patrons: "Notice is hereby given that if you will come to my store three times a day during the next year, and purchas a drind of whisky each time, paying 10 cents a drink, at tbe end of the year I will donate five barrels of my beat flour, 100 pounds of fine granulated sugar, 100 pounds of rice, 10 pounds of coffee, 10 gal of syrup, 50 yards of calico, three pairs of shoes, one $10.20 cloak for your wife; and then I will have 120 left to pay for the liquor you drank.

The sexton must pay his wholesaler promptly, and unless he has a comfortable bank account he is likely to get stranded."

The Heppner,' Oregon, Gazette tells, a story .of. a dog's double devotion* which will- t«nd to increase the regard of ^*tt/lovers >of dogs for those faithful creature3. Mr. James Kinney, the chief shepherd of the itacks of Mr. Thomas Quade, had occasion lately to change camp from the mountain-range to his feeding grounds. The distance was three miles. One of the collies had at the range a Utter of five puppies, seventeen days old, which, as she was needed in the drive, she had £o leave behind. The first night, a3 soon as the sheep were folded at the feeding ground and her responsibilities over, she went straight back through a driving snowstorm to her young and spent the night with them. Next morn^ Ing, however, true to her master, ah* was at the corral bright and early for her duties, floe remained ail day. guarding and herding the sheep, and at nightfall started bwlt to her babies. This continued lor eleven day*. On the morning of the twelfth day thd dog was late at the corral, and Mr! Klnney felt some uneasiness about hex. After a time «be appeared* bring&S one of her pups, rhich had now grown to considerable size, in her mouth. She had struggled all the three miles with it, over a rough road. It was evidently her intention to bring tbepupa all up to the corral, one at a time, without sacrificing any of her time with the sheep. Somewhat conscience stricken at hi a neglect of the Utter so, far, Mr. Klnney. hitehe* up ft wagon and went to Che range after them. He* secured them all, and gave them and their mother a warm nest close to the hearth in the farmhouse. SAVING BURGLAR SOUVENIRS, Chicago furnishes another unique story.

CTATE LEGISLATURE. ^ |uj)r$me c o j k dfcc^ipn, d|t*s the jAtkinpof railroad law, &a well as the law of lftlfr, which provides for the assessment of railroad, telegraph and telephone companies. The provisions in this law are exactly similar to those in the Atkinson bill, providing for the assessment of railroad, telegraph and telephone companies. Tke case under, discussion was that of the Teoumseh Telephone Co. The court declared the tax to be ad valorem and not specific', and that the auditorgeneral had no authority to credit the money collected under the law to the primary school fund. But the contention that the tax can be collected as an ad valorem tax, the court says, can^ not be sustained. It Is nob a specific tax and U not withiu the rule of taxation prescribed for other property; therefore, the law is void. This practically disposed of the Atkinson law, and brings the matter of increasing the taxation of railroads again before the legislature. Two very important bills, introduced by Goodall and Hammond, respectively, are on the calendar and will soon be acted upon by the house. The}' are the anti-trust and stock gambling bills, and both measures, if passed, will be effectual 4n destroying these two elements in commercial life. The anti-trust bill has been framed with the greatest care, after consultation with able attorneys. It carries>a penalty of from 85,000 to $?5,000 as to corporate organizations, and hea*y personal fines. It went down to defeat two years ago, but Mr. Hammond says he is very hopeful of its success at this session. • The senate in executive session confirmed the following appointments of the governor: W.

An emotion of mingled freedom and satisfaction possessed the whole crew on being rid of our tormentor, and Lambourne now took charge of the brig, which he was perfectly able to handle and work, though ignorant of navigation as a science, and having but a vague idea of the course to steer fcr the Cape of Good Hope. She was hove In the wind, while In the moonlight, about two hours after the, exciting scene which closes the last chapter, we committed to the deep the body of Antonio's last victim, the PQor apprentice, whom the saUmaker sewed up in- hia hammock, to which, being without shot or other suitable weights, we tied a sack of coals to sink the corp3e. The head-yards were filled again, nnd, as if anxious to leave that portion of the Bea as far as possible astern, we hauled up for the cape. Tom Lambourne ordered every stitch of canvas that the spars would hold to be spread upon the Eugenie, that she might, as he said, "walk through the water 14 her own style." All be could do at first was to keep her in the course we had been steering or. the night these disasters began, for as yet we knew not to what degree of latitude, south or north, we might havo been drifting; however, we calculated that Hlslop, weak as he was, might be able to take a solar observation anu prick on our place, on the chart, in the course of six or seven We had the usually enug little cabin cleansed and cleared from the debris created by the outrageous proceedings of Antonio, who must have gone to thp bottom with all Weston's valuables and money about hlni^ as yie could find neither; and the sweet expression of the poor widow's face, as it seemed •••.:> smile en us from the miniature <r«\ the af^er-bulkhead, contrasted strangely with all the wild work that had so lately taken place on board. Hlslop and I were restored to uur former berths, and then more than once in my dreams the pale olive-green \isage and glaring eyes of the Cuba no came before me, and again I seemed; to see him cliriging uapitied and in 'desperation to the slender boom which swung above the seething sea — lor his death and all its concomitant horrors haunted me and made me unh£ ppy. The intensity of the heat in that Beason suggested the idea that we could not have drifted far south of the lins. ho great was it that the upper spars of the Eugenie appeared to wriggle or vibrate like serpents aloft in the sunshine; while so hot, so clear and so rarefied was the atmosphere between decks that it was suffocated, especially in the lulling of the faint breeze. A wMte heat seemed to make sea and skr grow paTe; and the former «ast upward a reflection from its glassy surface and long smooth swells that was hot—hot beyon'd all description. Though ever and anon the upper deck was drenched with salt water, It dried immediately, emitting a strong otl >r of wet wood, while the skids over the side failed to keep the paint, tar and rosin rising in large burnt blisters. About the time when %e hoped that HI slop would have been well enough to make aa observation, even by being placed In a chair on deck, the weather became so rough that he was unable to leave his berth, and during all that day the brig drove before a heavy gale, with her courses hauled close up. the fore and main topsail yards lowered on the caps, and their canvas close reefed. , After the heat we had endured, the reader may imagine this gale would bo refreshing and a relief. Net so. TLe atmosphere, as .it became dark with gathering clouds, increased in density, closeness and beat, thus about th<i time we should have had clear twilight, the hour was gloomy as a northern midnight—so dark that the men i& the tops, or those lying .out alone th\s foot-ropes at the yard-arms, when under close-reefed topsails, could not be seen from the deck, while the breese that swept over the ocean was breathless— hot as the simoon of the desert; aui our men knew not whether they wf re drench** by perspiration or the spoonsrift tsra *trom <h* warm wave tpps fey the increasing Mast. The peculiar appearance of this black, gale alarmed and bewildered Tattpoatf, Tom, who eoml* make aothing of It, while poor Mat* Histo* whose skttl wostd have been invaluable to as, when he heard the singing out on deck, thunder of the bellying course* with their trails, the roar * - * - hatf-barec meal, art **«**.'*«. f U ^ewbead, writhed l a Mi ted* and mourned his own Inactivity, or rather incapacity; but he sent me to tell Lambourne to cover up the anchors with wetted canvas, as it was not Improbable, by the state of the atmosphere, that it was full of electricity and thus we might be in a dangerous way. "Tell Tom," he whispered, "It ia a trade-wind gale—I know it to be so." "How?" I aaked, "when you are lying here below?" "By the barometer, which remains high, while the wind is steady," replied Hislop la a low voice, for he was BtiU very weak; "if the barometer fall, be sure it will become a typhoon, and then, with a short-handed craft, heaven help us! But assure Tom it is only as yet a trade-wind gajle—to take as much canvas off her aa he can, and to make all snug aloft. We'll have thunder directly, Dick—such thunder as you can only hear la the tropico." He sank back, exhausted even by these few words, while I hurried on deck with his orders. I had scarcely conveyed them to Lambourne, who was keeping a lookout forward, when, amid the dusky; obscurity of sea and sky, there burst a sudden gleam of wondrouB light. The men, who were spreading some old, wetted sails over the sheet and working anchors; the steersman at the wheel, the watch and all bands who were crouching to leeward, or holding on by ropes and belaying pins to windward*, seemed for a moment to become whlte-visaged specters amid a eea of pale.blue flame—a sea whereon the flying brig, with her brailed courses and reefed topsails, her half-naked masts and black cordage, were all distinctly visible as at noonday, while the polished brass on funnel, binnacle and skylight all flashed and shone, as ship and crew, with all their details of form and feature, "Were instant seen and instant lost." For a broad and blinding sheet of electric flame burst upon the darkness of the night..and passed away as rapidly, when the livid brand burst in the welkin or in the wave, we knew not which. Then camo the roar of thunder— the stunning and appalling thunder of the tropics, every explosion of which seemed to rend-earth, sea and sky, as they rolled like a palpable thing, or like the united salvo of a thousand echoes at the far horizon. After a sound so mighty and bewildering, the beUowing of the wind through the rigging, the hiss and roar of the sea as wave broke against wave; the flapping of the brailed courses; the creaking and straining of the timber B, seemed as nothing—the very silence of death—while the Eugenie tore on, through mist and spray, through darkness and obscurity, with the foam flying white as winter draft over her bows and martingale.. Again there was a pale-green gleam overhead, right above tLe truck of the mainmast, wher? the chambers of the sky seemed to open. The clouds divided in the darkness of heaven, and out of that opening came the forked lightning, zigzag, green and ghastly. There was a dreadful shock, which knocked every man down, except Carlton, wno was at the wheel, and an exclamation of terror escaped us alL A tnunde.-bolt had struck the Eugenie! With all its wondrous speed—instantaneous as electric light could be—it jglided down the main top-gajlant mast, rending the topmast-cap and the framed grating of the top to pieces; thence it ran down the mainmast, burst through the deck and spent its fury la the hold. At that moment the main-topmast, with all its yards, gear and canvas, fell about the deck in burning brands, and the brig was hove right in the wind's eye, uiile the sea twitched the helm <mt of the hands of Ned Carltan, who became bewildered on finding the -compasses lose all their polarity bj the influence of the electric fluid, the north point of one heading southeast acd of the other southwest. Almost immediately after this there was a erjr oX "Fire!**-—ttzx cry so terrible, MO appalling on board ship? and then thick white smoke was seen to the erevlces of the battened All haste lushed to this point.

Not a moment was lost ia netting thu longboat over the side, and with a heavy splash, by which it was nearly ewamped, we got It afloat.

Ty the wild, weird glare that ro3e In frightful columns from the main pud fore hatchways we had plenty of Hglt, as it shone far over the huge billows of that dark and tempestuous tea, to which we were about to commit cur fortunes, and now a pale and half-dreseed pgure approached us. It was Marc Hislop, whom tho terrible odor had roused from his berth ia tl?e cabin, and he now came forward, supporting hia feeble steps by clutching the shrouds and belaying- An Ifiijttalwst Combination* Xlm flspsssst »*thod and beneftojal Secisj «sf 8 T I rushed below and brought up a blanket and great coat to wrap him In, and he was promptly swung over Into the boat, where Carlton received and supported him. Three bags of bread, with a tarpaulin *.o cover them, two ke,gs of rum, four casks of water, with oars, sails and tilankets, were thrown pell-mel* into the beat. A hatchet and a bundle of spun-yard completed our stores. The compasses were considered now <o be useless, or were omitted, X forget which. The wind still amounted to «i gale, though lees violent, and It fanti'd the growing flames, so that the fat.i tl brig burned fast. The lightning stii' flashed, but at the horizon, and tt* thunder was heard to grumble above the hiss of the sea; yet we heeded mem aot, though they added to the terror *rid the grandeur of the scer.« ; and, mesi providentially for us, the Jury of the storm was past. Tattooed Tcm was the last ms.a who •left the brig, and the moment rio was In the boat he exclaimed, with a loud voice, that rang above the roaring of he flames, which now gushed through every hatchway and aperture, above the howling of the wind and the breaking of the frothy sea— "Shove off!—out oare, there, to starboard— pull round her stern—pull with a will to windward—keep the boat's bow to the break cf the sea!" We pulled silently and vigorously, rnd soon got clear of the brig, through the four stern windows of which four lines of light glared redly on tie ocean. - All our strength was required, to achieve this, for the brig, being the larger body, attracted the boat toward her. However we got safely to windward, which was absolutely necessary, for to leeward there fell hissing Into the sea a torrent of sparks and burning brand* from the rigging, which was all in flames now. Resting upon our oars, or only using them to keep the boat's head to the break of the sea, and to prevent her being swamped—an operation during which they were as often flourished in the air as in the ocean, when we rose on the crest of one vast, heaviag wave, or sank into the dark vale sf water between two—resting thus, we gazed in silence and with aching heart* at the destruction of our bom* upon the the weU known remedy,, ftes, wsunfactured by the • STBVP CO., illustrate' bstng the liquid laxa- • of plants known in be ssjBwve and presenting^ t refreshing to the r to the system.

In a quarter of an hour she was enveloped from stem to stern in a sheet of fire tha* rose skyward in the form at a pyramid. By this time every vestige of her spars, sails and rigging had disappeared. The entire deck had been consumed; the bulwarks and molded plank-sheer rapidly followed, and through the flames that roared fiercely from the hollow of her hull we could see the black timberheads standing upward. like a row of fangs. Rents appeared next in her sides a* the flames burst through the inner and outer sheathing, and with a hissing, sound as they met the waves of the briny sea. Then a salt steam rose, and its strange odor, with that of the burning wood, was wafted ut times toward us.

The court holds that a tax can be imposed by the cities villages in addition to the 9500 licence fee provided for the state, law. The case in question was a test of the validity of ah ordinance of the city of Holland which imposed a $300 licence in addition to the state tax. Thomas Allen, a sailor, who now resides in Detroit, was convicted of attempted murder in Grand Rapide several years ago and was given five years in Jackson. Afterward the fact became known that at the time the crime was committed he was sailing on the Pacific ocean. Gov. Winans pardoned him after he had served 13 months and the house last Friday passed a bill allowing him 110 a month up to $1200. Senator Sheldon made the speech of his life this morning in opposition to Senator Wagners motion to make senate btfl No. 552, prohibiting the sale of chattel mortgage property the special order for next Tuesday. Mr. Sheldon warmed up and denounced the bill as an outrage, and said it was unconstitutional. His digust and excitement increased when the Wagner motion was adopted in spite of his protests. Then the senators repaired to the cloak room and laughed long and loud. There is no such measure as senate bill 552.

The territory cared for by Mr. Danis comprised the state of Michigan, and portions of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and he visits every town once a year, making advertising con* traets, and looking alter sales. These remedies are standard and well known to our people. It is claimed that Downs1 Elixir is the oldest cough medicine made, it having been prominently before the public for nearjy three-quarters of a century.

He attemped an assult, and she screamed but was choked into silenoe, and una threat of death she promised , never to mention it. She told ; Mrs. Eastman, however, and the man was discharged, Before j leaving, with a revolver in his ! hand, he attempted to get to Miss Beade who was locked in the parlor. He then took her jewelry, and left^a note in her room saying: *J will see you ail again." The matter is in the hands of the prosecuting attorney.

The water is taken from a creek that flows through the camp, but none of it is. used until it has been filtered and boiled. All camp refuse is cremated each day.

Army officials have learned that since Manila fell the Filipinos have been obtaining supplies of ammunition from Hong Kong- and Singapore, as well as from Europe, A strict naval patrol of the island of I*a«on has been established and the belief is expressed that the supply of'ammunition will now be cut off.

Filipino* May try Self-Government. It is declared at the state department that the proclamation issued by the Philippine commission just before the beginning of the of the last campaign represents the maximum concessions to be made to the insurgents by the U. S. government. It is realized nosr more strongly than at any other period that the capacity of the Filipinos for *elf-government is an undetermined question. The U. S. government is wiiliug to accord the natives an opportunity to test their ability for the Philippine commission proposes to allow ihem almost complete control of their local affairs, exercising only such supervision through the U. 8. military as may be necessary to guard against the consequences of mistakes on the part of the native municipal and provisional officials in their first experiment at self-government.

"Whibh way shall we pall?" aaked the* bowman,"'is we paused "wlta our oars in the rowlbcks. "It matters' little, mates," ctfed Tom, in a loud' vole*, with'his1 f#t nahd >,t the 'side of »is mouth, to send w^at he fiaid forward above the roar of the wind and sea. /"We artist 'be inany hundred mites from Brazil, the nearest land, and we can do nothing nqw but keep our boat alfvu by baling and Bteering tiH daybreak. Now, Master Hislop," he afided,'Towering his voice, "how do yon feel, air*?" "I feel that I am Quite in your way, my lads—« oseless hand aboard, to consume yoar tood and water," replied Hlslo?, fatnt^y. "Why, atof said Probart, the stroke oarsman, **you (don't think we could .have left you to burn in that poor old brig?" "No, rat (exactly; still 1 am of no use to joa, ;antt il feel'—" "What, «lr, <what?" asked Tom, anxiously. "Heart fiftik and despairing," moaned Hiskxp, letting his chin drop on his breast. "DoaUtt^lk so, sir." said Lambourne, stoutly; '^despair never found a place in the heart of a Britisl: sailor.* "You are right, Tom; and perhaps I'll gather headway and get to windward yet." "Of course j'ou will," replied Tom, cheerfully; "but here's a sea comingtogether, lads, pull together!" Despair might well have found a place in ;all our breasts at that awful crisis.; but Tom's Lluff .aud cheerful way prevented our hearts from sinking, though the hours of that awful night seemed dark and lung. Well, without compass, chart, or qo*drant, there we were, ten in number, in an open boat, tossing upon a dark ^and stormy sea, enveloped in clouds, with the red lightning gleaming~ through their ragged openlngsrofat tfce far and flat horizon—Ignorant of where we were, where to Bteer for, or wthat to *do, and full of terrible anticipations for the future! We \were -silent and sleepless, My heart was full of horror, grief and vague alarm, when I thought of my ihome—rthe quiet, the happy and peaceful oWiTectory, with all who loved me there, and whom I might never see again. Tlie hot tears that started to my eyes mingled with the cold spray that dreoched my cheeks, and there seemed bmt< one consolation for me, that my father, my affectionate mother aad sisters, .dear Dot and little Sybil, could never ikaow tfcow I perished by hunger or drowning, H such were U> be my fate. • U sthe stories I had heard or read of shipwrecked men—their sufferings, their endurance of gnawing hunger and burning thirst, their cannibalism, their mortal straggles with their deareat friends for the last morsel of tood, for the ,laat drop of water, and how the weak ; perished that the strong might •Sve—crowded upon my memory to augment the real terrors of bur situation. • So audttoflly had this final catastrophe «cm%e upon us that we had considerable /difficulty in assuring ourselves of its reality, and that it was not a .dream—a dream, alas! from which these <xnight be no awakening. So hour ;«fter hour passed darkly, jilowly, and silently on. • The torbulesce of the <w*nd and waves abated, the Hgtotsmg pas*«d away, the «cW ceased l o whirl, the vapors were divided in heaven, and a faint light that stole tremulously upward from the (horizon served to indicate the east and the dawn of the coming day. , CHAPTER XXVL Discover Land.

'A ration of rum-and-water in equal proportions was new served round to each man, the leathern 'cover of bung being our only cup, as we had omitted a drinking vessel among our nastily collected stores. Half of a biscuit given to each constituted our breakfast, anh with licpe dawning with the day in our hearts vre shipped our oars and pulled stoutly toward ' the west. Tom Lambcrnrne 'Steered; the eea was smooth, the wind light, and in our favor; so ere long the mast was shipped and a trail hoisted to lessen the labor of tire rowers. We were anxious for the dense bank of purple cloud to-clear away, that we might hare <& more extensive view of the horizon, and perhaps discover a sail, but the envious vapor seemed to darken and to roll before us, or rather before the wind .that bore us aft alter i t About "midday, when we were paus Ing on «txr <oars, breathless and panting wita neat, drenched with perspiration, which tran into our *eye3 and trickled down our breasts, and when visions rif ice-water and bitter beer came tantalir-ingly to memory—for sea and skf were equally hot, as the former seemed to welter and become oily under tJie hilaze of the latter—a sharpwinged bird that skimmed past us suddenly caugut the hollow eye of Hislop, who, I jthougilt, was sleeping, "Do ;you see that bird, Tom?" he exclaimed, half Etarting up from the stern-sheets; ait is a man-of-war bird!" "Wb^t then, sir?" "We-must be near land," Teplied the mate. ' "Latfd!" reiterated every one in the boat, tfheir voices expressing joy, surprise XJT incredulity. "Is it Brazil?1'1 asked Tattooed Tom, with abiaxement in his singular face. —^J jio not think go," said Hislop, passlnf a h.and"wear11y and reflectively over wr*pafe forehead. "Brazil—It Is impossible, by the test reckoning I made before that Spaniard wounded me. But Heaven only knows where we may have drifted to since thenV '^The wind and currents may have taken us many hundred miles from where the last observation was made," added'Catiton. "Birt I am convinced that we are near land—look ail the sea-wrack that passes us now; acJ we must be out of tht; track of the Gulf-weed," continued the mate, with confidence. "ABti may I never gee the More ; again if that ain't land now, looming right ahead through the fog-bank!" exclaimed Tom. starting up and shading Ms «y«s from the sun with both hands,>asii»e peered Intently westward. As laeireader may Imagine, we all gazed anxiously enough in the direction indicated by the old seaman, and a swell,,of <rapture rose in the breasts of ail nvbMi something in the form of a headland c: bluff could be distinctly seen iSsght ahead, bearing due west, about-«eren miles distant, standing out frwm-tbe bank of vapor, or looming like a ^darker shadow within it. This appearance never change! in outline, but remained stationary and every jinoment became more defined and cotifirmeti. Exclamations of Joy now broke from us, and we congratulated each other on msfeing tfr* land *n soon and FC unexpectedly, -without enduring the miseries which so frequently fall to the lot 'Of those who are cant away, as we were, in an open boat, at sea. "But what lsarti is it?" was the general inquiry. Another allowance of grog was served rounds the oars were again ablpped, we bent «*ir backs and breasts sturdily to the task, and at every fiforefce' almost lilted the boat clean omt of the shining water in oar eagerness to. veccih this suddenly tilscowereti shore. This hafl such an effect upoa Ware Hislop that, though weak and stoking as he had keen, he begged that he might be allowed to steer,the boat a little way, while Tom I^mbourne kept a bright lookout ahead, to watch for any ripple or corf that might Indicate the locality of a treacherous coral reef, as such might prove dangerous to a large and heavily laden craft like burs. With ever/ jtrofce of. the beading OATS the land aeemoj to rise higher and more high. Ere long we cowid make out its alnou*. asd at the mist ditpened or rose upward Into add air. w« could s«« tbe dark brown of toe bl«C, asd «y»* tree* of Btringt aspect, with drooping foliage on its sammit, were oHarly def ned, as they stood between us and the blue sky beyond. We toon made out distinctly that It was a large island. The shore was somewhat level to the northeast, and in the center towered an. almost perpendicular mountain of vast height, the sides of which seemed covered with furze, gorse and brushwood. Elsewhere its dusky and copper-colored1 rocks started sheer out of the sea, whose waters formed a zone cf enow-white surf around their base. We headed the boat ?o the northeast, where the shore seemed more approachable, and as we pulled along It, but keeping fully three miles off. we saw high crags, deep r&rinea, shady woods and dells in the Interior, though no appearance of houses, of wigwams, or of inhabitants. Many speculations wefre now ventured as to what island this might be. "May It not be land that has never before been discovered?" I suggested, with a glow of pleasure, in the anticipation of beiug among the first to tread an unexplored and hitherto unknown shore. Hislop smiled and shook his head, Henry Warren, who had been an oM South Sea whaler, suggested that it was the island Grando, but Hislop assured us that this was impossible. In the first place, by the position of the eun, he could see that we were not BO far south as the parallel of Port San Giorgio on the Brazilian shore, and in the second, the existence of such an island was doubted. "Can it be Trinidad Island—Tristan da Cunha, or the Rocks of Martin Vaz?" asked Tom Lambourne. "If the latter," replied Htslop, "we should now be in south latitude 20 deg. 27 mln., but this land in no way answers to the aspect of the Martin Vaz Rocks." "Did you ever see, them, sir?" asked several. "No; but they are described by La Perrouse as appearing like five distinct headlands." After pausing and pondering for a moment, he suddenly added, with confidence. "It is the Island of Alphonso de Albuquerque!" "How do yqu know?" I inquired. "By the appearance of that cliff, and the sotintaln inland." You have beea here before?" asked Probart. "Kever; btit I know it to be Alphonso by that cliff on the north, and the mountain, too, which were particularly described in a Spanish book I lost in tb* Eugenie. The mountain is a peak which the author says resembles—difi any of you ever gee a place like It before?" "It is a» li*e Tenny Reef from the _P_ort_of_ba.ji*a Cruz as one egg Is like anotherfTT~ci~claimed Tutu baa&fee&fae^ 'Exactly, Tom, that is what the Spanish author likens it to, though he doesn't use the simile. So If it Is the Island of Alphonso, we are now spmewhere in south latitude 87 deg. 6 min., and west longitude 12 deg. 2 mm. Pull southward, my tada, tbe shore opens a bit beyond that headland. We shall find a smooth beach probably within that bight yonder.** "Anyway we're not in pilot"* water," added Tom, laughing; "giv* way, mates—stretch out" We pulled with a hearty will, and ere long were close in shore—«o close that our larboard oars seemed almost to touch the mighty rocks which rose sheer from the sea, like mighty cyclopean walls, but covered with the greenest moss; they overhung and overshadowed the dark, deep water that washed their base, and as they shielded us from the fierce noonday heat of tue sun, we found the partial coolness reireshing and delightful, As Hislop had foreseen, om rounding the bluff, the shore reeeded inward, and through a line of white surf, like that which boils over the bar at a river's mouth, we dashed into a beauttful little bay, the sandy teach of which was shaded by groves of bright green trees. Still we saw no trace of inhabitants; but selecting a small creek, which was almost concealed by trees that grew, like mangroves, close to t l » edge of the water, we ran our boat in, moored her securely, where none were likely to find her save ourselves, and then all save Hislop and Billy the ea^ta boy, who remained to attend fc&n, we went on an exploring expedition in search of natives or whatever turn up next.

The attention of the police department of New York has been called to the fact that there is a statute of the state which prohib- | its the selling of tobacco in any : form to persons under 10 years of I age. 1 Chillicothe has fifteen or more saloons and had to issue $30,000 in bonds to pave the streets of that city.

The rum manufactured at the sugar fact ories has to be sent elsewhere, as anyope giving intoxicating liquor to a"nativa is fined £50 aud imprisoned three months. This penalty is doubled for each repeated offense while in the colonies. A train of twenty cars loaded with bottled beer passed through Kansas City last week on its way from Millwaukee to Manilla. The bottles were packed in barrels co ntain ing"ten dozen pi nts ear* h. In each car were twenty barrels containing 9,600 pints. There were twenty cars on the train making a total of 192,000 pints.

Ainsworth, a young man of fine physique, was at work with another man named Simpson, when, without a moment's warning, a large portion of the "roof" of the mine gave way, and the two were enveloped in the debris. Simpson's death was Instantaneous. Not so Ainsworth. He waa a prisoner with, to all appearances, no possible means of escape. And to" add to the horrors of the situation, Ainaworth was unable to help himself. One of his arms was caught between one of the heavy "head trees" which supported the roof and the iron bogie used for running the iron ore to the foot of the shaft. In that position he was forced to remain. He could hear the efforts that were being made to rescue him. The distance between him and his rescuers was but a few yard^, but hour after hour sped by before they were able to reach him. It was necessary to proceed with caution. The timbers of the pit groaned and cracked, aud there was no telling what might happen. It was a horrible suspense, but yet, it is said, Ainsworth bore up bravely. He could distinguish the voices of those working for his rescue and when they shouted words of encouragement to him he was able to answer them. For many hours the most strenuous efforts were made to get at him. At last the rescuers were able to creep through a small hole into what was a vc-itable living grave. Even then they were unable to remove him, except at the sacrifice of his arm. They were able, however, to provide him with refreshment. With marvelous fortitude he awaited the time when the obstructions could be removed and his arm released. Again the rescue party went to work with a wllL More hours passed by, but at last success crowned their efforts and Ainsworth was once more a free man, after more than thirty hours of the most horrible agony. Without delay, he was removed and conveyed to tbe surface, and amid the joy expressed at his rescue was the wonder that Ainsworth should have borne the terrible ordeal so well. But the hope that he would' recover from the strain to which he had been subjected quickly gave way to despair. He was removed to his home on Friday morning, but only, to die.

That destroying angel has fled the earth, but a far worse has come. He* sweeps through these citiec. It is the destroying angel of strong drink. Far worse devastation wrought by this second than by the first. The calamity in America worse than the calamity }n Egypt Thousands of the slain, millions of the slain. No arithmetic can calculate their number. Once upon & time four fiends met in the lost world. They resolved that the people of our earth were too happy, and these four Internals came forth to our earth on an embassy of mischief. The one fiend eakl: "I'll take charge of the vineyards." Another said: "I'll take charge of the grain fields." Another said: "I'll take charge of the dairy." Another said: "I'll take charge of the music." The four fiends met in the great Sahara Desert, with skeleton fingers clutched each other in handshake of fidelity, kissed each other good-bye with Up of blue flame and parted on their mission. The fiend of the vineyard came in one bright morning amid the grapes and sat down on a root of twisted ffv»p«*ta»ta •»h««r dtocouregement. The fiend knew not how to damage the vineyard, or, through it, how to dam* age"thei woTTa; The grapfS.Ywefe so ripe and beautiful and Jusciotfc. They bewitched the air wlt^v thelfc sweetness. Ther6 seemed to* be so much health in every bunch;, and while the fiend sat there in utter indignation and disappointment^ -hf/ clutched a cluster and squeezed- it in perfect spite, and lo! his hand wife red with the blood of the vinegar^, fend the fiend said: "That reminds1.me.of'the blcod of broken hearts; Tjl strip the vineyard and I'll squeeze out all the Jaice of the grapes, and I'll alLqw tf»«f Juices of. the grapes to stand uatil they rot, and I'll call the process fermentation." And there was a great vat prepared, and. people came with their cups and their pitchers, and they dipped up the at the gripe3, aod they drank and drank and went away drinking, the vineyard, and oi the grata field* tnd of the dairy, and of the music hall —went back to their horn* and the? held high carnival because their work had been so well done; and Satan rose from aUs throne and announced that there w*a ao danger of the earth's redemption so long as these four fiends could pay such tax to the diabolic. And then all the demons, and all the sprites, and all the fiends, filled their glasses, and clicked them, and cried: "Let us drink—drink to the everlasting prosperity of the liquor traffic. Here's to woe, and darkness, and murder, and death. Drink! Drink!" But whether by allegory or by appalling statistic this subject Is presented, you know as well as I that it is impossible to exaggerate the evils of strong drink. A plague! A plague! In the first place the Inebriate suffers from the loss of a good name. God has so arranged it that no man loses his reputation except by his own act. The world may assault a man, and ail the powers of darkness may assault him—they cannot capture him so long as his heart is pure and his life is pure. All the powers of earth and hell cannot take that Gibraltar. If a man is right, all the bombardment of the world for five, ten, twenty, forty years will only strengthen him in his position. So that all you have to do is to keep yourself right. Never mind the world. Let it say what it will. It can do you no damage. But as soon as It is whispered, "he drinks," and It can be proved, he begins to go down. What clerk can get a position with such a reputation? What store wants him? What Church of God wants him for a member? What dying man wants him for nn executor? ^He drinks!" I stand before hundreds of young men—and I say it not in flattery— splendid young men who have their reputation as their only capital. Your father gave you a good education, or as good an education as be cotrht-afJord to give you. He started you in city life. He could furnish you no means, but he has surrounded you with Christian influences and a good memory of the past, Now, young man, under God you arc with your own right arm to achieve your fartune, and as your reputation Is your enly capital, do not bring upon It suspicion by going in and out of liquor establishments, or by an odor cf your breath, or by any glare of your eye, or byany unnatural flush on your cheeks. You lose your reputation and you lose your capital. The inebriate suffers also in the fact that ho loses his self-respect, and when you destroy * loan's self-respect there is not much left of him. Then a man will do things ho would not do otherwlse: he will say things he would not say otherwise. The fact is that man Over in France there is a growing opposition to President Loubit1 on account of his personal appearance. What show would "Oom Paul" stand in such a country as that? The keel of a ship lies concealed, yet It Is Indispensable to her progress and w.fety^ so virtue does not always cp- *pear open the surface, yet true manhood is unknown without It. ' A Vienna lady, the Baroness Maurice de Hlrsoh de Gereuth, has left £20,000,000 to charity. If she had lived in this country that sum would have kept the lawyers fighting the case for a, long time. It takes a long time to heal the scars of war, but the process begins almost as soon as the last gun is fired. Already a cargo of American wheat has entered a port of Spain, and the people are hungry for more. and, they drank until they fell in long,' cannot stop, or he would stop now. lines of death, so that when the fiend 'He is bound hand and foot £by the of the vineyard wanted to return to Philistines, and they: have shorn his It appears that every European nation whose citizens can get permission to build a railroad in China expects to acquire thereby a "sphere of influence" in that part of the empire through which the raljroad runs.

Then the second fiend came Into the grain field. He waded chin-deep amidthe barley and the rye. He heard all the grain talking about bread, and prosperous husbandry, and thrifty homes. He thrust his long arms into the grain field and he pulled up the grain and threw it into the water aad he madb beneath it great fires—fires lighted w'tli a spfl-rk ix^zx fcis own heart—and there was a grinding, and a mashing, and a stench, and the people came with their bottles and they dipped up the fiery liquid, and they drank, and they blasphemed, and they staggered, and they fought, and they rioted, and they murdered, and the fiend o| the pit, the fiend of the grain fteld* wap--so pleased with their behavior tfcit he changed his residence from the pft to a whisky, barrel^ and there he sat by the door of the bung- •nole laughing In high merriment at the thought that out of anything BO harmless as the grain of the field he might turn this world into a seeming pandemonium. The fiend of tlie dairy saw tb»j cows coming home fvsm the pasture field, fuli-uddered, and as the maid milked he said: "Ml soon spoil all that meas; I'll add to it brandy, eugar, and nutmeg, and" I'll stir it Intc a milk punch, and children will drink it, and some of the- temperance people will1 drink it, and If I can do them no more harm, I'll give tl|em a headache, and then I'll hand them over tp.the niore vigorous iJends of tbe Sfltanic.deUgotlon."

His family become alarmed in regard to him, and they eayt "Now do stop this; after a while It will get the mastery of you." "Oh! no," he says, "I can stop at any time; I can stop now, I can stop tomorrow." His most conftdentir. l friends say: "Why, I'm afraid you are losing year balance with that habit; you are going a little further than you can afford to go; you had better stop." "Oh! no," he says, "I can stop at any time; I can step now." He goes on further and further. He cannot stop. I will prove It. He loves himself, and he knows nevertheless that strong drink is depleting him in body, mind and soul. He knows he is going down, that he has less self-control, less equipoise of temper than he used to. Why does he not stop? Because he cannot stop. I will prove it by going still further. He loves his wife and children. Ho Stfcs that his habits are bringing disgrace upon his home. The probabilities are they will ruin his wife and disgrace his children. He sees all this, and he loves them. Why do en he not stop? He cannot stop. • • • • If a fiend from a lost wcrld should come up on a mission to a grog shop, nnd, having finished the mission in ths grog shop, should cocae back, taking on the tip of his wiug one drop of alcoholic beverage, what excitement It would make all through the world of the lost; and it that one drop of alcoholic beverage should drop from the "wing of the flend upon the tongue of the inebriate, how he would spring up and cry: "That's it! that's it!

But I must not dwell on generalities; I must come to specifics. Are yon astray? If there is any sermon I dislike it is a sermon on generalities. I want personalitleg. Are you astray? Have you gone so far you think you cannot get back? Did I say a few moments ago that a man might go to a point In Inebriation where he could not stop? Yes, I said it, and I reiterate it; but I want you also to understand that while the man himself,, of his own strength, cannot stop, God can stop any man. You have only to lay hold of the strong arm of the Lord God Almighty. He can Btop you. Many summers ago I went over to New York one Sabbath evening—our church not yet being open for the autumnal services—I went into a room in the Fourth ward, New York, where a re* liglous service was being held for reformed drunkards, and I heard a revelation that night that I had Dever heard before—fifteen or twenty men standing up and giving testimony such as I had never heard given. They not only testified that their hearts had been changed by the grace of God, but that the grace of God had extinguished their thirst. They went on. tq> say that they had reformed at different times before, but immediately fallen, because they were doang the whole work in their own strength.

How many times in life a few words of good advice, coming from a friend one can depend upon, will save us hours, perhaps months, of misery. The fol* lowing which comes from1 Battle Creek will interest our readers. Dr. Oliver Guiteaux, Veterinary Surgeon of that city, a well-known man there, as well as in Kalaraazoo and Marshall, speaks of his experience with the little conqueror and the result of a few titoely words of advice. He says: *'I was standing in Amberg & Murphy's Uriv^ store in liattle Creek one day when a friend of mine came in nod asked for a box of kidney pills. After he had made his purchase I said quietly to him, 'You have made a misttike in buying- those.1 His reply was, 'How is that?' I said 'Doan's Kidney Pills are worth all the others put together.' As he wanted my reasons for thinking so I told him that my kidneys had bothered me for years, tha*. I sufFerod from backache until I could scarcely stand it, that I had nearly every symptom to be found where the kidneys are Tecled, that "I had use?! Tcnre?ly"BrftFr remedy including box after box of the one he just purchased, and that until I used Doans Kidney Pills I might have taken as many spoonsful of water, in fact, I think some of them hurt me. A couple of weeks after this I met him on the street, when he said: 'Doc, Doan's Kidney Pills are just as you represented. After using the box about which we had a conversation in Am berg & Murphy's drug store I was as bad as ever.

Stetson, of Buctaa Vista county, Iowa, report aa follows of the Canadian North-West as to U» suitability for fanning, and the advantages it offers to the agricultural Immigrant from the United States: "We came here solely to look up Improved farms and, if suitable, to ae* lect such as pleased us best. We have not visited the homestead districts at ail, though we believe them to be very inviting. Our Inquiries have been confined solely to the district around Martney, Deloraine and towards the Souris River in Manitoba. Our impreaeiom of all that region are in every way satisfactory, and we have decided to go back to Iowa at once, and, having disposed of our several Interests there, to return to Manitoba In the month of March next, and. effecting our purchase of Improved farms, which we find we can do at reasonable rates, immediately begin farming. We are greatly pleased with all that we have seen In that part of "Western Canada. The soil we find to be more than equal to that of our own country for wheat-growing, and the other conditions of climate, schools, markets, etc., are all thai we could wish for. ••T o show what an energetic man can do we may mention that we found one such at Hartney who had rented a farm on shares, receiving two-thirds of the returns as his share of the crop. When he came to Bell hia own produce he found that his two-thirds, when converted into caah. was enough to buy the farm he rented out and out, which he accordingly did, and is now its owner. It is our intention to induce as many of our friends as possible, who are practical farmers, to remove from Iowa to this country, where we believe there is a better future for the industrious man than is now to be found anywhere on 1£U continent. We are well known in our part of the state of Iowa, and we Invite correspondence from its residents in all parts with regard to this region of Western Canada which we have visited, and to which we Intend to return."

Ball Btarlosi Did It Bicycles were l&y«Atai centuries ago, but It required the magic touch of the Nineteenth eeatury Inventor to make the "wheel" a most useful Y«- htota instead of a mere toy. Ball bearing* did it. It was a c&3* where the improvement has proved greater than the original invention. The principle that reduces friction to a minimum- in a bicycle is applicable to all machinery, and the cost 1» the only obstacle in the way of what will be known in history as the "Ught Draft Bra" In mechanics. Millions of dollars have been spent in this direction. The Deering Harvester Company, of Chicago, solved the problem, as far as grain binders and mowers are concerned, by equipping their machines with roller and bail bearings In 1891. Other manufacturers In this line have since followed with several kinds of experimental roller bearings, but the Deering machines are still alone in the field with ball bearings of ths bicycle pattern. The Deering Company's annual catalogue for 189$ contains some very interesting historical matter on this subject, fully illustrated. The book also describes the largest factory in America and gives the latest news on the subject or harvesting machinery. Send for one; it'a free.

Must Be General Manager Underwood of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has issued the following general notice to station agents and trainmen: "Your especial attention is directed to the treatment of patrons by employes of the company. Complaints have been made from various sources of discourtesy to freight and passenger patrons on the part of our agents, or their representatives, at several of our stations, and also inattention of conductors and brakemen to properly care fo? the comfort of passengers. There should be no cause for such complaints. It is a, part of your duty to see that our patrons are treated at all times with politeness and courtesy, not only by yourself but by employes under your charge.

He was taken to the home of his sister, Mrs. Hugh Clark Jr., where at the time of going to press, Wednesday afternoon, he lay ueconcions andther* is no hope of his recovery. Mr. Wilcox is 71 years old and well known all over the state. V b u VUUla* Poor and Kick. Lenten frock* ot purple and helltrope *or church-going mission-visit- Ing and good work generally, are being made (or the consistent and conscientious woman, says the New York Commercial Advertiser. Simplicity and demureness characterize these gowni as a rule, and the clinging, graceful, soft fabrics, such as nun's veiling, cashmere and canvas are chosen rather than the more aggressive and worldly cloths or rustling materials. One good soul whose Lenten duties take varied forms has what she calls her "hospital dress." This she wearB to readings and recitals and lectures on Greek art and psychological phenomena, as well as to the wards where the children wait her coming as eagerly as flowers long for the sun. "I don't believe la the old-time philanthropist in a lfttU gray bonnet and a black shawl," says this Lent lily. "I think poor people and 'shut-ins' are more observing and more appreciative than people who bustle about In the world, and I know that they lov« pretty clothes and are pleased to think one puts on her very best to go to see them. One small girl at the post graduate always 'sizes me up' with her big blue eyes the minute I enter ttre ward. Then, when I sit beside her bed to talk to her, she smiles and strokes my muff, plays with the charms on my chatelaine and tells me how pretty I look, how much nicer this bonnet U th-an the on« I wore last week and other bits of Information that she has probably been cogitating on and storing up for days. It makes me wary, I assure you, and If I am not as smart as usual I fairly quake before the scrutiny of the blue-eyed one who loves visitors, but, above all, smartly dressed visitors, "My girls, like their mother, hav« not much money to spend, so they try to give time and energy instead. One of them teachoa a class of little barbarians how to sew and the other has a kindergarten catechism class. The girls are both in their teens and 1 fear neither of them has the gift of teaching, so I discreetly avoid questions about the progress the children axe making In sewing or religion; but I do know that the little heathens of Hester street think Pollle a sort of well-dressed angel, who is a fair teller of stories, and Nell tells as a good Joke that the Saturday morning following the day on which she wore her fox boa for the first time, the attendance of her class was about one-third as largft again as it had been before. "The nhaftrvinR pnpila htu) toM iY\» neighborhood how the teacher had let Teresa Giovanetti wear the wild beast around "her neck because her hem- •tltchlng was well done. Poor Nell had her hands full that morning between her efforts to teach the increased number and her anxiety for her precious boa, that was being 'walked' around the room, one child holding Its head and one its tall, letting the legs claw along the floor. She decided to make a virtue of necessity and a Lenten sacrifice of the boa. It became the plaything of the class, but aided Nell's efforts to maintain order; at the -first threat to take the fox away from them the children became as submissive as a class of cherubs. "Dress Is a great thing when people are to be cheered and heartened mentally as well as physically, A chatelaine and a pretty hat, a fashionable frock and a big muff will sometimes interest and amuse a suffering child as much as'a picture book and flatter and please a poor old soul shut away from the poetic and stereotyped bunch of flowers or bundle of tracts."

The rate for April was IS.* per 1,000 population as compared with therftte of It 5 for March.

Joseph Harvey, who has lived all life on u farm near Howard City, whoso boyhood training was gopd, and who never had ,any vicipus,. or ©coentrio habits or characteristics to distinguish him from tens of thousand* of young men whose lives have been spent ou farms near small towns, showed re eently, notwithstanding all this,that ho possessed a murderous spirit that will make him for all time a notable figure in the list of cold blooded human slay ers. As a result of his insane desire to kill, a wife, grandmother and uncle met instant death, while his father-inlaw is fatally wounded aud Harvey's only six-months-old baby is crippled for life. In addition to this the murderer shot hirmelf in the mouth and eye and lay down beside his dead wife to die, but such a fute was not his good fortune, as he will not die from his injuries. One theory for the awful tragedy is that Harvey had no intention of murder, until his uncle took him to task for keeping the horse out late. Tkeas, when he killed his uncle, an in* sane streak seized him and the other murders were the consequence. However, U»is is only a suggestion us to what might have prompted the deed, and the real motive for the crime may never be known.

For a considerable distance we traversed flat ground that was covered with sedge' grass, > Interspersed by shrubs of bright green. Beyond this level,plain rose a serie? of ridges covered by trees, and those ridge* formed the first slope of the great mountain, which, was some thousand feet in height, and also of the great bluff we had first descried at sea, > ., • We fqund Alphonso to be tka largest of a group of threeislands.

The other two are cavernous and inaccessible, and every approach to them 13 dangerous and dtfr ficult, „in copsequence of the teaming of the, sea about, them;,, BO that dor ing the weary days of pur sojourn there we made^no attempt to explore tkem., lest the longboat, in our ci.rcuwistaiioes a priceless property—might be ^d or dashed tp pieces. ., Hislop Informed me that he frafl read Boraewnere that in the month Marci£' '15t)6—the same year in >ol the great Columbus died—two adventurers of Spain or Portugal, named Trlstkn da, Cunha and Alphimso 4e Albuquerque, sailed for the tntftee on a voyage of discovery, witi, ,fourteen great caravels. During this expedition they itmnd three great islands, which tbie^ :namedj after'Tristan'da'^bunlia, and'el«ewhere three dth.e'rB. w*iich were named Alplronsb, who, after their fteet had been scattered by a great tempest, «a|4- ed A rough the Mozambique He discovered many sea i ^ £ 4 channels hitherto unknown *© the Portuguese or Spaniards, ana ultimately reached the Indies, of which he became Viceroy ror'tferaTnaru? the 'tiatno^ lie, and died in 1515, holding that cilice. It is very strange that afcroe lhat remote period no European country has turned these islands to -any^a^e-, count, as they do not lie -more than fifty league* from the general track of the shipping bound for the recast of Covomandet or the CWneae «#as, and Sn timie of war wtjukf fdrtn a useful and Important rendezvous lor a. *set. They lie exactly in thai poctkm of "It is our own property," -said Billy, "and may be useful when we have a fire to light" "Boy BUI, we have a better use for it than burning," said Tattooed Tom; " 'tis the matt for our signal-post, already made to hand, and we'll step it on the hilltop tomorrow." For that night we bivouacked under a large tree, the name and genus of which wcTe alike unknown to us. At times some were conversing, some slept, others lay waking and thinking, with the murmur of the shining sea close by in their ears; and I could see the stars ol the Southern Cross shining with wonderful brilliance at the verge ol the watery horizon. The novelty of OUT situation kept me lo«g awake, and with my head pillowc4 on a bun.dl* ol dry seaweed, with the sail t)f the long boat spread over us as an impromptu tent,and for protection from the dew, I lay in meditation -and full of melancholy thoughts eie sleep came vpon me, and with It eosrtnsed di.ame of the trarning ship, of my secluded home, and of **—-4i»e schoolboy spot, W« long remember, though there fottg torgot.* Again I -WAS at I&ton! Again I saw T3ie smooth green playing-fields alive with Ardent schoolboys in tbe merry stimtner sunshine, and 4gain I heard the clamor oT thetr young voices and the balls Tattling on bat and wickets; again I heard t£e pleasant green leaves rustle in'the tad woods of the Tudor times; or :agath I. was in the; *hady « ridges, which form the base of mountain, at every step rousing clouds of birds, especially a species of blackcock, and twice in the Jungle we cane upon the lair of wild boars oi great »lze and such ferocity of aspect that we were glad to shrink astern of Tattooed Tom, who carried the hatchet. This jungle was exceedingly difficult of penetration, owing to its density, the number of wild aloes, with creeping plantB, prickly pears and other tropical weeds, of what Kind I know not, twined about them, it was a literal wilderness of serrated grass blades, yellow gourds and great squashy pumpkins, like gigantic vegetable marrows, all woven into an inextricable network of leaves, tendrils and branches. In other places we had to force a passage through thickets of richly flowered shrubs and tall plants, with mighty leaves, the general greenery of the landscape being increased by the many runnels of fine Bpring water which poured down the fissures of the mountain into the plain we had left. By the sides of these runnels we frequently paused, and making a cup of a large leaf, filled it with the cool, limpid water that gurgled over the rocks, to quench our constant thirst; and for a time such cups were the only drinking vessels we had while on the island of Alphonso. At last we gained the summit of the mountain, and with mingled satisfaction and anxiety in our hearts, swept the horizon with eager eyes. Not a sail was in rfight! Far as our eyesight could reach around us in a mighty circle, rolled the waters of the Southern Atlantic, alsaoat tepid with heat, and pale and .quadrangles ^#hei»e kum of inany the 'jnonotbnoTis y poring &v,ex tbeiT studies fftottr through the mtillioned windows on the ambient air; and in my dreaming ear that "drowsy hum" ceemed jM&ngely to mingle -with the »chaflns eff the'surge upon "th1 unnum-_ 'bered pebbles* of the lonely shore dose I T .

Tom took off his shirt; and drawing from his pocket a piece of spunyaro. which a seaman is seldom without, he lashed his un-dergarment to the end of the etuddlng-eail boom, and by the aid of the hatchet and our hands, we scraped a hole sufficiently deep in which to erect the spar, and then Jammed it hard and fast with stones.

THE McCALL CO. to 146 W. 14th St.. New Y«rfc The people of Vermont seem pretty well satisfied with the workings of their prohibitory law. It has stood the test of forty-seven years, and the deputy secretary of state, who for forty years has been aergeant-at.arms of the legislature is reported as saying that "there is about as much liklihood of the legislature repealing that law as there is of passing a law to hang themselves." There are only thirty-five police officers in the entire state, not an open gambling house, and but two known houses of ill-fame. The total expense of all jails of the state for 1898 was le«s than $11,000, and less, than $120,000 was paid for all court expenses, including jails, sheriffs, criminal prosecutions, clerks, attorneys, judges, etc. The fines and costs collected in prosecuting violators of the prohibitory law have paid all expenses of pro secution and returned about $230,000 into the state treasury besides. The increase in population since prohibition went -into effect has been six per cent. Twenty-nine out of every one hundred inhabitants of Vermont have accounts in saving's bank's—more than one out of every family. In all the cities of the western half of the state where illicit liquor is ! said to be most plentiful, there is ' not a place where strangers can get j liquor without resorting to strategy, except at St. Albans, and one must make diligent inquiry there for the bars are all hidden in back rooms upstairs. These are a few Jacls_gailit^ed_by a N^w Voice reporter which prohibition^ vrorters will do well to "make A note, on." RUTH MAEIE DEXTER, a girl four years of age living at Milan, Mich., has commeuoed a $10,000 suit against Charles- Schmitt. a saloon keeper, and Fred Hasley and Henry Coe, his bondsmen, for of a statute to which Senator Hansbrough calls attention (see Corresponding Secretary's Notes) has much significance at this time. There aeqms to be no doubt in the mind of any member <»£ Congress as to the intent of the law. For indeed can auyone honestly question it, nor deny that our senators and representatives in voting for it intend to abolish liquor selling as a feature of the canteen or post exchange. In view of this fact even the brewers and the attorney-general himself must acknowledge that the employment of a civilian to sell beer in the canteen would be a violation of the spirit and purpose of the law. A STRONG resolution in condemnation of Attorney General Griggs for his interpretatior of the anticanteen law, and an appeal to President McKinley for the immediate exercise of his authority in the matter, was adopted by the congregation of llamline M. E. church at St. Paul, Minn., Rev. Peter Clare, pasjkor, at the close of the regular services on April 23. Business Pointers.

Here is David, the psalmist, with Uw forefinger of bis right hand against his temple, the door shut against the World, engaged ia contemplation. And it would be well for us to take the 6ame posture often, closing !t,he door against the world, while we sit down in sweet solitude to contemplate. In a amall island off the coast of Nova Scotia I once passed a Sabbath in delightful solitude, fox I had resolved that I would hav* one day of entire quiet before I entered upon autumnal work. I thought to have spent the day in laying out plans for Christian work; but instead of that it became a day of tender reminiscence. I reviewed my pastorate; I shook brands with an old departed friend, whom I shall greet again when the curtains of life are lifted. The days of my boyhood came back, and I was ten years of age. and I was eight, and I was five. There was but one house on the island, and yet from Sabbath daybreak, when the bird-chant woke me, until the evening melted into the Bay of Fundy, from shore to shore there were tea thousand memories, and the groves were ahum with voices that had long ago ceased. Youth is apt too much to spend all its time in looking forward. Old age is apt too much to spend all its time in looking backward. People in mid life and on the apex look both ways. It would be well for us, I think, however, to spend more time in reminiscence. By the constitution of our nature we spend most of the time in looking forward. And the vast majority of this audience live not so much in the present as in the future. I find that you mean to make a reputation, you mean to establish yourself, and the advantage* that you expect to achieve absorb a great deal of your time. But I Bee £Q harm iii( this, if it does not make you discontented with the present, or disqualify yoii for existing duties. Perhaps you were brought up In the country. You stand now today in memory under the old free. You1 clubbed its fruit that was not quite ripe, because you couldn't wait any longer. You hear the brook, .rambling along over the pebbles. You step again into the furrow where your father in his shirt sleeves shouted to oxen. 7r-i frighten the swal- j It is not jufieq—ud/ sdi>i>x^3ed that men who are severe, Judicial; and cxiticafare the intellectual superiors of others who are lenient, kindly and charitable. The latter are beloved, it la true, btrt-tfee termerare feared and respected as having a higher, standard, and perhaps more strength of mind and force of character. Yet it is safe to say that in the generality of cases the exact opposite of this is the truth. It requires very little knowledge and very little intelligence to find fault. An. obtuse, supercilious woman, wio evidently thought she was a lady, was trying the patience of an old German florist while making her selection of cf flowers for Easter. The colleCton did not suit her, and after mere or lesa of unpleasant comment and criticism, the old man becanvs impatient, and delivered the reb.uke'-«fre nee^dtf, *Obot madam, I make net de flowe*. ^ God does not'a«>Jfte bow:I will,:'J)aI><,tkem.

You take a drink again out of the very bucket that the old well fetched up. You go for the cows at night, and find them wagging their heads through the bars. Ofttimes in the dusty and busy streets you wish you were home again on that cool grass, or in the wheat-carpeted hall of the farmhouse, through which there was the breath of new-mown, hay or the blossom of buckwheat. You may have In your windows now beautiful -plants and flowers brought from across the seas, but aot one of them stirs in your soul so much charm and memory as the old ivy and the yellow sunflower that stood sentinel along the garden walk, and the forget- me-nots playing hide and seek 'mid the long grass. The father who used to come In sunburnt from the fields, and sit down on the door sill and wipe the gweat from his* brow may have gone to his everlas^Hig rest. The mother, who used to siti-'at the door a little bent over, cap and spectacles on, her face mellowing.with the vicissitudes of many years, may have put down her gray head on the pillow in the valley; but forget that home you never will. • ' Have you thanked God for it?

Have you kept those vows? Have you been a backslider? God help you! This day kneel at the foot of mercy and start again for heaven. Start today as you started then. I rouse your soul by that reminiscence. But I must not spend any more of my time in going over the advantages of your life. I Just put them all In one great sheaf, and I top them up in your memory with one loud harvest song, such as the reapers sing. Praise the Lord, ye blood-bought immortals on earth! Praise the Lord, ye crowned spirits of heaven! But some of you have not always had a smooth life. Some of you are now in the shadow. Others had their troubles years ago, You are a mere wreck of what you once were. I must gather up the sorrows of your past life; but how shall I do it? You say that is impossible, as you have had so many troubles and adversities. Then I will take two, the 'first trouble and the last trouble. As when you are walking in the street, and there has been music in the distance, you unconsciousfy find yourselves keeping step to the music, so when you started life your very IJfe was a musical timebeat. The air was full of Joy and hilarity; with the bright, clear oar you made the boat skip; you went on, and life grew brighter, until, after a while, suddenly a voice from heaven said, "Halt!" and quick as the sunshine you halted; you grew pale, you confronted your first sorrow. You had ho idea that the flush on your child's cheek was ah unhealthy flush. You said It can't be anything serious. Death in slippered feet walked round about the cradle. You flid not hear the tread; but after a while the truth flashed on you. You walked tbe floor. Oh, If' you could, with your strong, stout hjand, have wrenched that child from the destroyer. You went to your room, and you said, "God, save my child! God, Eav'e my child!" The world seemed going out in darkness. You said: 5*1 can't bear it! I can't bear it!*' You felt as if you cOdld hot put the long lashes over the bright eyes, never to see them again Bparkle.

Luna* when he &aw that an engagement* with our troops was inevitable, sent back to Gen. Mascar do for reinforcements. Mascardo's reply was that he would take orders from no one but A^uinaldo. This detlanee so infuriated Luna that, in spite of the impending conflict with the common enemy, he took 1,SOO of kit soldiers and mado a lorce march to Iiaeolor, intent on chastising1 his com* rade in arms, and but for the timely interference of Aguinaldo a civil war between the two rival generals would certainly have taken place,, as both were actually drawn up in battle array when Aguinaldo interfered. Tbe continued absence of yellow fever from Havana astonishes even the sanitary department. Resident physicians believe that the steps taken since American occupation have made it possible that the disease may be checked for a short time, and look^for-_ warcHo a summer of comparative immunity from yellow fever. Medical practitioners, hoaevor, believe that some cases will develop be for? June. The secretary of war has received a cable from Gen. Otis at Manila, saying that it is inadvisable on account of sanitary conditions, to send to the U. S. the bodrvs of any mare of the troops who lost their lives in the Philippines until after the close of the r^my sea* son, and the cold weather sets in. The recommendation of Gen. Otis has beet approved by the secretary of war. Cuba has been provided with a sew flag by the, U. $. government, designed for Cuban-ownei vessels engaged in coastwise trade. The now ensign consists merely of a blue field with a white union. Tlie vessels which will fly this flag were formerly Spanish. Army officers in Cuba are complaining that their duties there have become over-arduous on account of the insufficient number of commissioned officers, who are available for service throughout the- island. Gen, MacArtbur is lying in wait at San Fernando for fresh troops, and Gen. Luna is massing'his army east of the railway, bringing up troops by trainloads in sight of the Americas lines. The latest from Manila in to the effect that even Afruinaldo's partisans are tired pf hostilities, but a recent meeting of the Filipino congress lacked a quorum, hence no action was taken.

By QTLBERTE HOLT. U S I N B S S had brought him to his nathe town in the sunny south. He was in haste that his mission should be concluded 30 that he might get away Trom "tfie lage. The very beauty of its fragrant spring dress saddened him. ; In a timid, hesitating way he bad made a few inquires for old friends, but the answer was ever the same. War had scattered most of the old families. Those alone remained who slept In the peaceful cemetery in the dip which formed a vale at the bend in the river. "And the Ralstons?" All were gone. ,Ot the impetuous, high spirited family, only Miss Erma was still alive. The Ralston b o y s - four of thenvMay in soldierfe* graves beside<thfe(f gaitoxr*'father. Mrs. Ralston had seen her brave boys brought horn dead one by one. But she -gave them for her country's cake, gladly, but *er -heart was slowly breaking. She did not long survive her huabaod. "Did Miss Erma «tifl live at Ironwood?" No. The old plantation was desolate &nd Miss Ralston lived in a little white cottage down fte road; the one .almost smothered in jasmine reid roses. The gentleman took his cane and with a bri»*;,irtftp,wtteh toM <rf state young blood still flowing in his veils, started down the street in the warm spring .sunshine. The square shoulders, erect head and firm tread all bespoke the soldier. As he came in sight of Miss Erma's house his steady walk became jerky and finally settled into an uncertain amble. For the fraction of a second he paused at her gate, then beat a hasty and confused retreat. Completely out of breath he drew up beside the high arched gate which opened upon the soldiers' last tenting ground. "By Jove! It's no use. I couldn't face her," and the old man mopped his brow. *'Whew, how her eyes did blaze! Facing a cannon is play to standing the fire of Erma's angry eyes." He leaned against the post The light, idled out o£ his face and he thought of that long away time when be and Erma had been lovers. And thea dune the war. How Quickly had followed that awful day when he went to, say farewell and she would not look at him. because he wore the hate* htoe. He tried to argue, tried to per- •u&de, but she would not listen. She was a southern girl—Cot Balaton's' daughter. If he fought toe south, he fought her and was her dead- !y foe, Was it not cruel enough that stood then en the low, wide steps, a slim, girlish figure clad in clinging white. Her cheeks were flushed and her mouth tremulous, but the chin was firmly set. All through the war he had carried in his heart the memory of her as she stood in the sunshine, framed by tne stately pillars of the gallery; while'he, with despair in his heart, but a dogged determination in his eyes, turned, when half way down the broad avenue of live oaks, and lifting his uni6n cap murmured, "God keep my southern sweetheart!" How often he recalled her words. He could almost hear them now. "Go. You are_a traitor. Ijiever want to see "your "face again." The old man shook his head cor* rowfuily.; No, $he would never forgive him, not even now after all these year8. Well, he would go back north on the morrow, so what matter? He and the Ralston boys had been college students together. He would pay a visit to their last resting place. He opened the gate and slowly made his way among the flower-covered mounds. When he reached the Ralston lot, he looked about him sorrowfully. He felt sadly desolate. He alone was left of all those merry, laughing fellows. Presently his eye wandered to a grave somewhat apart from the rest The scarcity of its flowers drew his attention to it. He wandered idly toward it, thinking, "Some poor friendleas chap.'' He started and tli^n dropped upon his knees in bis eagerness to read the sKnple inscription on the headstone. It ran: "MERRILL FREMONT." "Born 1S3S. Killed at Gettysburg, 1863." "Why, that's my name!" and the old man looked about him in a dazed manner as though for a moment he doubted his identity. "Yes. my name U Merrill Fremont and I was born in '38, but though I the dreadful war thottld^ienrive her of her lover, without cafiiag alt* to Ight agalnet laeteaf of for her? How clearly he could tee her aa she ••WHY. THAT'S MY NAME.** .was wounded I did not die at Gettysburg- A union soldier in a confederate graveyard. Ah. that accounted for the lack of memorial flowers/* and he smiled grimly. "But Tm not dead," and be thumped his cane vigorously upon the travel -path. He leaned his hands *on his stick and stood gating intently at his own /4Tt i»*t me—but U Is some naloa soldier buried for me. and he shall | have some flowers. Yea. Ill decorate a y own gran,*' aad wit* a I chuckle Merrill Fremont started briskly down the path. As he neared the gate it opened, and a tall, slender figure clad in black entered, followed by an old negro fairly staggering under the weight of magnolia blossoms. Something familiar in the two figures made Fremont pause. But they did not notice him. The lady turned up a side path and walked quietly toward the end of the grounds Merrill had just quitted, followed more slowly by the old serving man. Merrill faced about and watched them. He was certain now that the woman was Erma. He expected her to enter the Ralston lot, but she only paused, "waved her hand toward the flower-hidden graves, said something to her.aU^ndant and passed on her way until Ehe stood beside the* undecorated gjave. Fremont rubbed his eyes and stared. The lady motioned to negro to lay his fragrant burden down. Merrill hastened up the path. He was near enough to hear the well-remembered voice say, "You may go, Uncle Sorney; I'll arrange the flowers myself." The servant shuffled away down the path he had come, while his mistress knelt to place the blossoms. Merrill Fremont paused, hat in hand. Erma believed him dead and forgave him. How would it be when she found him alive/ He stood in dumb uncertainty. She was his only love and to lose her again would be more terrible than not to have found her. Dead, she surely loved him; her action proved i t Would he not better go away in the certainty of that love than, by staying, perhaps revive the old bitterness which his return to her unharmed while all her beloved family lay dead, might recall? He was about to retreat. It was too late, the lady turned and saw him. He stood awkwardly before her. She looked at him in puzzled Inquiry. Suddenly he cried out "Erma." She moved back a pace in surprise at being so addressed by an apparent stranger. . Once his tongue loosened Merrill gave her no chance to escape. In quick, incoherent words he poured forth the mistaken report of his death, his love, his sorrow for her grief, and at last aa earnest plei that she would prove more kind than in the past. As she listened a delicate flush crept into the lady's pale, sweet face./ The shadow that rested in the deep, blue eyes lifted. She looked searchingly at the man before her. Could this really be her young lover, returned in the guise of this impetuous elderly man? She had neve rthought of him save as the soldier boy who/had gone away at her bidding. At last she seemed to understand. For a moment the comers of the lovely mouth forgot to droop. J By the light of memory the man and woman grew1 young again. When hi* torrent of words nnssert she stood silent tor some momentajtnd thea held out her hand as she softly said:/ e hanjah our anger tower we Iwwi the gsayea of 01 • greet empire and little miafe 1 WAR NOTE;;, The civilian member of the U. S. Philippine commission are favorable to the meeting with a Filipino com* mission which was suggested on behalf of Aguinaldo, by Lieut. Reyes, of the staff of (Jen. Gregory del Filar, who came to Gen. Law ton under a flag of truce bearing the proposal. It Is thought by the American commissioners that the idea may have resulted from a recent meeting of the so-called Filipino congress at San Isidro. Definite information on the point, however, cannot yet be obtained; though the local Filipino committee which is in close communication with the leaders of the rebellion, is doing its utmost to secure peace. The "tinclad" gunboats Lapruna de Bay and Cavadonjja and a launch uuder Capt. Grant, ran into a nest of insurgents, concealed in the brush on both sides of the Itio Grande river, three miles above Calumpit, on tiie 14th, and were received with a heavy volley at short range. A sergeant belonging to the Utah battery was killed and one private was wounded. Opening with the rapid fire guns, the Americans killed 20 of the natives and wounded several others, filling the jungle with a hail of shot for half an hour, until the enemy lied. Gen. Lawton succeeded in capturing San Isidro. the rebels new capital, on the 17th, without the loss of a single man, and only had two slightly wounded. The enemy's loss was 20 killed, 13 wounded, 3 taken prisoners and many rifles lost. After the rebels were compelled to leave the capital they retreated into the mountains. Our army and the gunboats are now ascending the Rio Grande, in persult of the enemy. Ten members of Maj.-Gen. Lawton's band of scouts, under W. M. Young, the old Indian fighter, entered the town of San Miguel, about 15 miles north of Norzagaray, not aware of what place it was. They found 203 Filipinos there, but the rebels taking the scouts for the advance of Gen.' Lawton's army, lied, after firing a few shots. ' Young and another scout were wounded and were removed to Manila. The war department says there are no discharged troops in Porto Rico to which the government is indebted. A larjre number of men who had enlisted in the regular array for the war with Spain asked to be discharged and in lieu of being- returned to the United States by the government to receive travel pay in money, which was done. They have probably grown homesick and want to return. A large number of natives, a majority of them being families with their household goods, are returning daily to the towns inside the Am*ericaTnlInes7~ Same of the richer Filipinos are going to Manila while the laborers are resuming work in the rice fields. A special from Washington says that within a few weeks a fully organized battalion of Porto eXicaos, wearing Uncle Sam's uniform, will be performing duty on their native island under the direction of American officers.

Three young men from Porto Bico arrived at Ann Arbor, Friday to enter the University. They will spend the summer gaining a knowledge of English. "Ch, where are you going my pretty maid?" "To do some shopping" she sweetly said. "Aml where" I asked in glad surprise Oh, anywhere where they advertise." There are 20 patients in Ann Arbor, waiting to get beds in the University hospital and 20 more applications by mail. Both this and the homeopathic hospital will be kept open during the summer. The war department has notified the University that there is a demand for general teachers in Porto Rico, and that the salaries attached are $1,260 per year. But there is a proviso that the applicants must know how to speak the Spanish. The people of Dexter are being solicited for telephone stook. It is reported that over $4,000 has been sold, one lady investing $1,000 in shares.—Daily Argus. The people of Pinckney were solicited some time ago for the same and now the assessor is soliciting them for taxes. "THROW AWA.f YOUR BOTTLE."

That He Might Have Ridden AU the Way Up. Pittsburg News: Though elevators are not new, they are new to a whole lot ot persons. An old fellow from somewhere is the client of a lawyer who recently remomd his office from the first floor of an old building in Grant street to the thirteenth, floor of a modern office building. The old fellow came in to see him, and after much trouble found the building. His legs were stiff and his wind was short, but he started up the stairs. By the time he reached the fourth floor he declared that he would take his business out of the hands of the man who was so unreasonable as to live so high. He took a long rest at the fifth floor and would have turned back if it wasn't that he wanted to pay off his lawyer that very day and retain one with an office on the ground floor. At the seventh floor he gave it up. He couldn't go any higher. He sat on the steps and watched the elevators going up and down and noticed that they were well filled. He reasoned that since scarcely any person used the stairway the fare on the elevators could not be high, and he could hard- 1: be accused of extravagance if he i e the rest of the way, since there would be no necessity for him to come to the building again. So he hailed one of them. "How much'll you charge to take me to the thirteenth floor?" he asked the young man who seemed to be In charge. "Get in here!" ordered the young fellow, as he seized him by the coat, pulled him into the car and started up. "I can't stand there answerln" fool questions all day. Thirteen. Out you go! Move lively, now!" "How much?" asked the old chap, untying the shoe string that held his wallet. But the door was slammed in his face and the car disappeared. "Thunderation!" exclaimed the old fellow. "If I'd a known that I nrrht a *=Tole a r\dn °1' the wav up!" His lawyer explained the matter to him, and. while the old man thought it was mighty handy, he said it looked a good deal like Imposing on people to be riding up and down free all of the time.

You know he was an awful drunkard , and was sent to th e state prison and died there . I guess she has had lots of trouble. " The speaker, Grac e Temple , a bright, vivacious girl of sixteen and her friend, Jenni e Gray , were slowly wendin g thei r way hom e from school one beautifu l afternoon in May, when the object of thei r remarks , "crazy Sue" passed by them .

How I loved him and watched over him. He was my all, my ideal, my only boy. I would keep him away from the saloon. I hid him as it were, but the time came when he would not be watched over by his mo the r any more, and in an evil hour he was tempted to take the first glass and came home to me one night with the smell of liquor on his breath. My poor brain was crazed and I knew not what I did. I went from saloon to saloon asking who had given the hellish poison to my boy, but they only laughed at me. Th6 saloon keeper had given the devil one more soul in return for a few dollars. They called me crazy. My boy whom I idolized killed a man in a drunken brawl in a saloon, and was sent to the state prison for lifd. They tell me he is dead. They say I am crazy. Do you wonder that I am crazy?

"TUB SUN PUT OUT," LATT SUNDAY'S SUBJECT. Text: **Th« Sun Shall Be T«rned Into barknc**"—Act* S> to— KUlftg Hum of the World Is the by Louis KlOpacfc.) Christianity is tus riBlug sun of our time, and men have tried with the uprolling vapors of scepticism, and tne smoke of their blasphemy, to turn the sun into darkness. Suppose the areaan/ jeb of malice and horror should be let loose a little while, and, be allowed to extinguish and destroy the sun in the natural heavens! They would take the oceans from other worlds, and jiour them on the luminary of the planetary system, and the waters go hissing down amid the ravines and tne caverns, and there is explosion after explosion, until there are only a few peaks cf Ore le& in the sun, and these are cooling down and going out until the vast continents of flame are reduced to a small acreage of fire, and that whitens and coo!s off until there are only a few coals left, and these are whitening and going out until there is not a spark left In all the mountains of ashes, and the valleys of ashes, and the chasms of ashes. An extinguished sun! A dead sun! A burled sun! Let all worlds wall at the stupendous obsequies. Of course, this withdrawal of the solar light and heat throws our earth into a .universal chill, and the tropics become the temperate, and the temperate becomes the arctic, and there are frozen rivers, and frozen lakes, and frozen oceans. From Arctic and Antarctic regions the inhabitants gather in toward the center, and find the equator as the poles. The slain forests are piled up into a great bonfire, and around them gather the shivering villages and citites. The wealth of the coal mines is hastily poured Into the furnaces, and stirred into rage of combustion, but soon the bonfires begin to lower, and the furnaces begta to go out, and the nations begin to die. Cotopaxl, Vesuvius, Etna, Stromboli, California geysers, cease to smoke, and the ice of hail storms re- •maiss unmelted in%their crater. All the flowers have breathed their last breath. "Ships wtth sailors frozen at the mast, and helmsmen frozen at the wheel, and. passengers frozen ,1$ the cabin; all natloaa dying, first at th€ North and then at the South* Child frosted and dead in -tfce cradle.

What the destruction of the gun in the natural heavens would b e - t o our physical earth, the destruction of Christianity would he to the •moral world. . The sun turned Into darkness] Infidelity In our time Is considered s great joke. There are people who rejoice to hear Christianity caricatured, and to hear Christ assailed with quibble and quirk and misrepresentation and badinage and harlequinade. I propose today to take Infidelity and Atheism out of the realm of jocularity into one of tragedy, and show you what infidels propose and what, if they are succesful, they will accomplish. There are those in all our communities who would like to see the Christian religion overthrown, and who say the world would be better without i t I want to show you what is the end of this road, and what is the terminug of this crusade, and what this world will be when Atheism and Inudelity, have triumphed over it, if they can. I say, if they can. I reiterate It, if they can. In the first place, it will be the complete and unutterable degradation of womanhood. I will prove It by facts and arguments which no honest man will dispute. In all communities and cities and states and nations where the Christian religion has beer* dominant, woman's condition hag beta ameliorated and improved, and she is deferred to and honored in a thousand things, und every gentleman takes off ste hat before her. If your associations bave been good, you know that the name of wife, mother, daughter, suggest gracious surroundings. You know there Ere no better schools and seminaries In this-country t&an the seboois and svuinarles lor ouswyoiinr Utfftet. know thjlt wbi!*jl4priLn4sj!y Wif< justice № № l a f £ » n d ttht U Sut*a,JU£s« £•& oft Mow} <$pps*re t$s wit£ woman's <*»dltion in lands where Christianity feas made Hul*. Q& „ $ Ofclna.Jp. *arb*rv^ ID .Bo *&•• ters as so many sheep. The Hindoo Bible makes It «*s«sa«#flil stt* ** outrage tot a woman to Ustci to music, or look out fit..tfc« window In the absence of her husband, and gives as a lawful ground for divorce a woman's beginning to eat before her husband has finished hiii meal. What mean \ho80 white bundles on the ponds and rivers in China in the morning? Infanticide following infanticide. Female children destroyed simply because they are female. Woman harnessed to the plow as an ps. Woman veiled and barricaded, and in all styles of cruel seclusion. Her birth a misfortune. Her life a torture. Her death a horror. The xutasionary of the Cross today in heathen lands preaches generally to two groups—a group of men who do as they please and Bit where they please; the other group, women hidden and carefully secluded in a side apartment, where they may hear the voice of the preacher, but may not be seen. No refinement No liberty. No hope for this life. No hope for the life to come. Ringed nose. Cramped foot. Disfigured face. Embruted soul. Now compare those two conditions. How far toward the latter condition that I speak of would a woman go it Christian influences were withdrawn and Christianity were destroyed? It is ony a question of dynamics. If an object be lifted to a certain point and net fastened there, and the lifting power be withdrawn, how long before that object will fall down to the point from which it .started? It will fall down, and it will go still further than the point from which it started. Christianity has lilted woman up from the very depths of degradation almost to the skies. If that lifting power be withdrawn she falls clear back to the depth from which she was resurrected, not going any lower, because there is no lower depth. And yet, notwithstanding the fact that the only salvation of woman from degradation and woe is the Christian religion, and the only influence that has ever lifted her in the social scales is Christianity—I have read that there are women who reject Christianity. I make no remark in regard to those pereons. In the silence of your own soul make your observations. A world without a head, a universe without a king. Orphan constellations. Fatherless galaxies. Anarchy supreme. A dethroned Jehovah. An assassinated God. Pa:rieid«, regicide, deictde. That is what they mean. That is What they will have. If they can. I say, If they can. Civilization hurled back into semi-barbarism, and semi-barbarism driven back into Hottentot savagery. The wheel of progress turned the other way and turned toward the dark ages. The clock of the centuries put back two th&usand years. Go back, you Sandwich Islands, from your schools, and~lr^rF7our~goth?ge8-ftfi<l from your, reformed condition to what yon were in 1820, when the missionaries fir3t came. Call home the five hundred missionaries from India, and overthrow their two thousand schools, where they are trying to educate the heathen, and scatter the one hundred and forty thousand little children that they have gathered out cf barbarism Into civilization. Obliterate all the work of Dr. Duff in India, of David Abeel in China, of Dr. King in Greece, of Judson in Burmah, of David Brainerd amid the American aborigines, and send home the three thousand missionaries of the Cross who are toiling in foreign lands, toiling for Christ's sake, toiling themselves into the grave. Tell these three thousand men of God that they are of no use. Send home the medical missionaries who are doctoring the bodies as well as the souls of the dying nations. Go home, London Missionary society. Go home, American Board of Foreign Missions. Go home, ye Moravians, and relinquish back into darkness and squalor and death the nations whom ye have begun to lift. Oh, my friends, there has never been such a nefarious plot on earth as that which infidelity and atheism have planned. We were shocVed a few years • ago because of the attempt to blow up the Parliament Houses In London; but if Infidelity &sd atheism succeed In their attempt they will dynamite a workl. Let them have their full way and this world will be & habitation of three rooms—a habitation with just three rooms; the one a madhouse, another a lazaretto, the other a pandemonium. These icfidel bands of music have only just begun their concert— yea, they hare cmiy been stringing their instruments. I today put before you their whole programme from beginning unto close. In th«v theater tie tragedy comes first -and the fa*e« afterward; but in this infidel draft* of death the farce come3 first and the tragedy afterward. And in the former, and infidels laugh and mock, t in the latter God himself -will laugh asock. He says so. "I will hutgb their calamity and mock when their ear cometh." i From such a chasm of Individual, national, world-wide ruin, stand back, young mefl, stand bad* from that h**m! You see the practical drift of y sermon:' I want you to know that road lead*. Stand back thai cfc**m of Ing to come (you and I may not lire to see it, but it will cone, Just M certainly as tfaert is « God. it will come) when the Infidels and the atheists who openly and out and out and aboVe-board preach and praetlce" iotldellty and atheism will be conside> ed as criminals against society, as they are. now criminals against God. Society will push out the leper, and tho wretch with soul gangrened and ichorous and vermin-covered and rotting apart with his beaatlaljty, will be leff to die in the ditch, and be denied decent burial, and men will come with spades and cover up the carcase where it falls, that \K poison not the air, and the only texfln all the Bible appropriate for the funeral sermon will be Jeremiah 22:19: "He Khali be buried witii the burial of an aas." At the beginning God said: "Let there be light," and light was.and light is, and light shall be. So Christianity is rolling on, and it i3 going to warm all nations, and all nations are to bask in its light. Men may shut the windowblinds so they cannot see it, or they may smoke the pipe cf speculation until they are shadowed under their own vaporing; but the Lord God is a sun! This white light of the Go3psl made up of all the beautiful colors of earth and heaven—violet plucked from amid the spring grass, and the indigo of the southern jungles, and the blue of the skies, and the green of the foliage, and the yellow of the autumnal woods, and the orange of the southern groves, and the red of the sunsets. All the beauties of earth and heaven brought out by this spiritual spectrum. Great Britain is going to take all Europe for God. The United States are going to take America for God. Both of them together will take all Asia for God. All three of them will take Africa for God. "Who art thou, oh great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain." "The mouth of the Lord hath spoken it." Hallelujah, amen! FAGCINQ AT EATON. It Still ExUU, Bat In a Greatly Modifled Form. The system of fagging exists at Eton, as In nearly all large public echools, but It is practiced now In a much modified form. As shortly described In the Chautauquan. it may bs said to- be the acknowledged right of elder boys to exact from the younger boys (their fags) certain servicesmenial and otherwise. Its origin ' is obscure; It may have arisen as au economy, when schools were poor, as It must save expense and labor for the younger boy3 to black boots, make tea and boll eggs for the older ones. But Eton is now exceedingly wealthy, Its endowments being nearly 21,000 pounds & year, and there can be no__Egason_wJiy, because a lad I3 young, he should have^ to wall trprm—hiaschoolmate as his servant and be ejtp<< sc<l to the chance o( very great tyranny. Jn the latter end of the last century* the fagging at Eton was so cruel and excessive that it Is reported that often a young fag would be kept, up waiting on hi* master till 1 o'clock in the morning, and being fror? lack of time prevented from getting his own lessons for the next day, would receive a thrashing from the master for the omission. Many instances of heartrending bullying and cruelty practiced by the big boys on their fags were reported, but fagging at Eton haa been greatly reformed. This and many other improvements were ma'nly due to the exertions of Dr. Hawtrey, who was head master from 1834 to 1853, and who, in conjunction with Provost Hodgson, wrought most of the changes which have given the college its present staging. Before Dr Hawtrey's appointment tho number of the pupils had fallen to something under 200, the moral* and tone of the school were exceedingly low and terrible abuses had crept in. Dr. Hawtrey at once commenced the work of reforms, sweeping inuovations were made and new regulations instituted; the tone of the school improved and the numbers rose to 777, the highest yet attained.

CHAPTER XXIX.—(Continued.) The wild boara that lurked In the broods baSed o»r >«8orts for a long time. By the edgt*ofthe ^tehet we possessed I fashioned for my own use a kind of $p9**. about six teet long, fcewn out of a piece of fine teak wood, which I/found upon the beach. This weapon I made and pointed with great care; and armed with It frequently fey in watch for the sealions, but without success. On the shore, at this season, when the, sunshine was reflected from the sloping faces of the volcanic rocks and from the surface of th«; sea, the heat was beyond all description—intense, breathless and suffocating, so that the - lungs would collapse painfully in the difficulty of respiration. To breathe was like attempting it at the mouth of a newly-opened furnace, and so I usually retired inland and sought the cool solitude of the deep thickets, or wandered through groves, of solemn, impressive and majestic old trees; for some were there so old that they must have cast the shadows of their foliage on Alphonso Ue Albuquerque or Tristan da Cunha and their bearded followers. How many ocean storms had swept their leaves into the waste of waters since then! We had now been fl^o days on the island without a sail being seen, though more than half our time was spent in watching the horizon; and so Tom Lambournes' old shirt still waved in vain from the boom-end on the mountain-top. On the fifth day, however, to our surprise, the signal was no longer visible, so we supposed that a gust of wind haM overthrown it in the night. Lambourne, Carlton and Probar stnrted for the mountain-top to restore it, while Hlslop and I rambled into the woods, where we had a view" ©f the shining sea to the westward. The waves came in long rollers, ns there was a fresh breeze blowing from the west, and the foam rose white ana high on the tremendous bluffs of the Inaccessible Isles, as we named them. All the water between them was a sheet of sparkling and snowy froth, amid which, haj we been nearer, we should doubtless have seen the black heads of the seallona, as they sported in the spray and sunshine. On asking Hlslop how far he thought we were from the continents of Africa and South America, he replied, without hesitation: "We are about fifteen hundred miles from the mouth of the Rio de la Plata on the westward, and twelve hundred odd from the Cape of Good Hope on the east; but there la land nearer to us " . "Land nearer!" I reiterated. "There are the three isles of Tristan da Cunha, and about five hundred miles southwest of us a desolate rock called the Isle o;f Diego .Alvarez; and fortunate it is Indeed for us that we were not cast away there, as it yields only mossy grass and now,and then a few seals or sea-elephant* may be seen up* , on the reefs about it. Dut, Dick Rodr ney, does it not make one long to be afloat again, with a good ship underfoot, both tacks and the breeze^ too, aft?—a cloud of canvas, carrying the tare* masts into one whwv sea£ aatern r-the lower studding-sail booms rigged out and dipping, in the flying spray as she rolls from side to s i d e - does it not, I say, bring all this to jnind, when from here we can watch the wares that rose, perhaps, between the shores of Mexico, rolling in foam between these rocky isles? Do you remember Homer's description of the curling wave?" And without waiting my reply he began to recite from the Iliad with wonderful facility: "As on the hoarse, resounding shore, when blows the stormy west, The billowy tide comes surging wide, from ocean's dark blue breast; First in mid-sea 'tis born, then swells and rages more and more, And rolling on with snowy back, comes thundering near the shore; Then rears it crest, firm and sublime, and with tumultuous bray Smites the grim front of the ragged rock, and spits the briny 4>ray." How far Hlstop, in his classical enthusiasm might hare pursued his free translation, till we had all the deeds of Agamemnon and others on that tremendous day beCove 4kt walls of Troy, I cannot aty. had not a erashJag sound in the adjacent thick* routed and Alarmed us. We started «p and bad just time to conceal ounmlves behind the trunk of A trje* when * aerd of seven wild boars came plunging out of the thicket to 4rink at a raaMl wmJca towed toward the sea. : They were vnllfc* any of t i e swlnbut for our vague sensations of alarm we could have watched them with pleasure, BB they inserted their long, fierce snouts in the water that sparkled under the forest Ieave3. They were all broad-shouldered animals, with high crests and thick, bristly manes, and all were black in color or darkly brindled. Unlike those of the sty-fed hoga, to which we had been accustomed at home, their erected bristles shone like silver or polished steel in the rays of eunshine that fell through the waving branches, their eyes were flashing and clear, and their skins were all clean, as if washed for a show of prize pigs. Thin flanked, active and strong, they began to grunt and gambol, and to splash up the glittering water, .till suddenly they caught sight of us, and all fled, save one, a fierce old boar, which, after tearing up the grass with his hind feet, came resolutely forward, showing a pair of tusks that made me tremble for the calves of my legs if I ventured to run off, and still more for those of poor Hlslop, who was alike unable to escape or confront him. Fortunately I had my teakwood spear. While keeping a tree between me and the boar, he prepared for the offensive by whetting his terrible tusks against a stone and grunting hoarsely.^ Excited and bewildered, as be came on at a quick run, I charged my weapon full at him, and by the mercy of Providence, the point entered one of his fierce, glittering eyes, which made him rear up and recoil, while in his rage and pain the bristles on his ridgy back rose up like little blades of steel. "Into his throat with your spear!" cried Hlslop; but I anticipated the suggestion, for ere the words had left his lips I had buried—thrusting deep with all th? force that excitement and terror gave me—the pointed teakwood shaft down his red and gaping throat. Choking in blood, in foam and fury, the great boar writhed upon bis back, find In doing so tvitched from my hands the weapon, which still remained wedged in his throat and tongue, and rendered him almost powerless. I knew not what to do now, for if he snapped it through, and thus released f himself, we, or at feast I, would be lost. But as he lay ther« on his back and sides alternately, shorting, roaring and covering the grass with bloody froth, and tearing it by hla bristles, Hlslop sprang forward and though weak with many half-hea*ed wounds, drove a clasp-knife repeata^ly into the throat and stomach of the monster, which soon lay still enough. When it was quite dead I drew out my teakwood spear, and found the point almost uninjured, for I had hardened it in fire. We thrust two crooked branches through the tendons of the boar's hind legs, and by these drew it to our hut, which was about half a mile distant, there our prize caused great congratulation among our crew, and I obtained no little praise for performing so hardy a feat. Our return diverted for a time sotm* excitement and surprise which had been caused by the return of Tom Lambourne, Probart and Carlton froin the mountain top, with tidings that the studding sail boom had vanished, and that not a trace of it was to be fourid anywhere! CHAPTER XXX. A New Perplexity. The disappearance of the boom and of Tom's old striped shirt, which had waved from it like a banner, excited considerable speculation and something of alarm. If simply overturned by the wind, it must have lain where It fell; at all events, it could not have rolled far from the cairn, or pile of stones, in the center of which we had wedged it. By what agency had this dlsappearttce come to pass? That it was the work of wild animals could n<k for a moment be conceived; so tke,.event filled us with vague, but very alarming conjectare, With bis ka|cbet, Probart tfeuosrpenter cut down antt jpeparod a long and slender treo to f9ft?ace the lost boom on the top of the DevtTs mountain, as we now termed It; and while one portion of us assisted him in this, the other set about the eastun of some of the wild goats with which the woods abounded, as we were anxious to procure the milk of the female*, and the flesh of their kids. Thia.was A most arduous task, as they were so fleet of foot; afad -Vhen pursued, tear when in seardh 41' titos* bitter and astringent plants of which most dangerous pinnacles and V of reck that overhung the sea. In k places there grew a kind of wild labu r" num. and Hlslop did not fall to remind me that Theocritus described it as the favorite food of the goat. We often saw these agile quadrupeds spring, without pause, f*ar or Hesitation, frcm pinnacle to pinnacle, or from ledge to ledge of rock, where, had they missed footing, they must have fallen a thousand feet or more, either into the ocean on one side, or some ravine on the other, and there, perched far aloft, they would remain, looking at us quietly, and reminding me of the couplet: "High hung in air the hoary goat reclined, His streaming beard the sport c? every wind." By great industry, and the exertion of incredible labor and activity, we succeeded in capturing five, by isolating them from their flocks, and chasing them into chasms and corners from which they had no means of escape, and then we secured them by the running rigging of the long boat. Some of the females afforded milk, a rarity and nourishment to us who had been so lens at sea. The flesh of a kid we thought delicious, and lest we shculd tire of roasted and broiled, Jack Burnet, the ship's cook, contrived to boll some pieces of a goat in its own akin, stretched upon sticks, with a flre underneath, salt for a spice, and sliced pumpkin for vegetables. Of the hoins, when carefully scraped and cleaneri, we made very efficient drinking cups, In which our rum, duly mixed with water, was doled out to us by Hislop, the keeper of our provision store. The eggs of the sea- birds were a constant object of search, and being an expert climber, I frequently collected great numbers of those laid in the crevices of the rocks by the sea gull and storm-finch. Our life was one of perpetual exposure and daily activity. Though overpoweringly hot at noon, the atmosphere of the morning and evening was delightful, and, as these portions of the day were spent in hunting for food, the time passed rapidly, but Hislop'a chief fear was that if we were cot taken off by some ship before the rainy season set in, our discomfort and danger from agues would become very great. By the time we had been fourteen days on the island he was recovered so far as to be able to join me in making an exploration of it, or rather in walking all around it. Tb* circumferen'ce of the largest isle is ouiy four leagues, but its shores are so »v«ep and rocky in some places that traversing them proved a most ardu- On the eastern side we found a great cascade pouring from a brow of rock upon the beach. Toe latter was covered almost ersry/jjere by a broadleaved seaweed, the dark and slimy tendrils of which were several yards in length and we.re tormed by Hislpp "tho gigantic tijeus." So day after (Uy passed, and, amid our various means of procuring food, we never failed to keep a keen lookout to seaward to* a passing sail; but none came near taat lonely i3let of the southern sea. One mornieg I found there had drifted ashore near our but a mass of that mysterious substance, the origin of which has puzzled so many naturalists— ambergris. It must have weighed more than a hundred pounds, and when we threw seme of it into the flre it melted and diffused around a most agreeable perfume. This marine production, which is only to be found in the seas or on the shores of Africa and Brazil, is alleged by some to be a concretion formed In the stomach of the spermaceti whale. On the fifteenth morning after our landing a seaman named Henry Warren, who went to milk our goats, which bad been tethered to a largo tree near the hut, returned in haste to announce that the ropes which had secured them were cut, apparently by a sharp instrument—cut clean through —and that the goats, the capture of which had cost us so much labor, were gone. "Cut? By whom?" asked «vtry one. Before we had time to consider this, Hislop came out of the hut, and stated that one of our three bread bags had also been cut open, by a slash from a knife, apparently, and that several pounds of biscuits had been abstracted:' The strange alarm, and what was worse, the doubt of each other, which tbtse discoveries excited, were painful and bewildering. We examined the place wfeere the goats had been tethered, but could discover no traces of ieet, and nothing remained but the ends of the ropes (the long boat^ sheets and halliards) tied to the stem of a tree.

Gloves, in their first estate, are a somewhat expensive article of feminine dress, says Harper's Bazar. It is seldom good economy to purchase very cheap gloves, as they are liable to tear when putting on, to rip easily, or to develop somewhere a thin place which betrays one at an untimely moment. The frugal manager prefers to spend more upon her gloves at the outset and have them last longer and she makes up for the additional expense by taking care of this part of her wardrobe. When gloves are removed from the hand they should not he pulled off a finger at a time, but the wearer should take hold of them at the top and peel them off, so that the whole glove is wrongside out "when it leaves her hand. If there is any moisture about the glove, it IB well to leave it until it is entirely dry before turning it. Gloves require airing, just as other articles of dresB do. When perfectly dry, the careful woman turns her gloves, pulls them out lengthwise and lays them together as they were when she bought them In the store. If she is not expecting to wear them again for a few days she foldB them in tissue paper and lays them in her glove box. Those persons who are careful in these matters at no time lay aside a glove without first seeing that it is mended and entirely in order for the next time of wearing. All gloves Bhould, if possible, to some extent match the costume with which they are worn, and "while there are caprices from time to time which suggest the wearing of white or of black, or of some distinctly pronounced color in gloves, yet rio one goes amiss whose gloves do not make a false note in the effect of her toilet. s in the canfe of BhtMJi, 11 la a good plan, if one can, to have several pain ln use t t a time, the role applyii g. |p flove« as well as to shoes. The U stldlous woman carefully keeps her bed gloves by themselves, dons her second best for a shopping excursion or • daily walk, and preserves those which are even more worn for the market or the outdoor errands of the morning, or for the walk taken simply for health, when she dresses for comfort rather than for style. Gloves for driving and wheeling art thicker tan those for ordinary use, but equa - require care.- A glove may be spoiled \s to shape for all time bT heedless putting on when flrit worn.
