The above named place is the residence of Rev. K. H. Crane, formerly of Pinckney, and therefore we suppose we might as well begin writing his obituary. Our sympathy goes out towards him and his estimable wife. "Among the Breakers" gave such universal satisfaction at this place that the dramatic association decided to reproduce it at Noble's Hall, Unadilla, on Friday evening, and at the skating rink, Stockbridge, on Saturday evening of this week.

James HTrris found a nest of several snakes egg's a short time since and a few of them he laid away in a can until last week. He then took them out and broke them and was startled to find that each of them contained a snake eight to ten inches in length, and a very remarkable part of it was that as soon as they were out of the shell they immediately poised their heads for a fight. Fathers and mothers, you should forbid your boys trom catching on to trains, or you may sometime regret it. None of them have been hurt yet, but each time they do so they grow more venturesome, and tro one knows but, to-morrow the startling cry will be heard: "A boy killed at the depot!"

IN the summer of 1778 there was perpetrated a horrible butchery which is known in history as the Wyoming massacre. Defenseless men, women and children were slaughtered in cold blood by treacherous savages led by a few blood-thirsty British guerrillas. A few days ago another Wyoming massacre occured in another part of our country. This time the aggressive party was not the blood-thirsty savage, but white men, some of whom it is said are officeholders in the territorial government. The victims were those whose only offense was that thoy were Chinese "cheap laborers.1' The same revengeful spirit which actuated the murderers in the massacre at Wyoming, J'enn- , was the motive which incited to blood-shed tho men who are guilty of the murder of tie Chinamen in Hock Springs, W. T. The miners of Wyoming Territory did not assault the contractors who were responsible for bring. ipg oveY the Chinese to compete with our laborers, bu- did murder by the score,, and burn the homes of the helpless Chinamen whose only 5'aulfc was t&at they had accepted the labor that was offered theai. Fr m whatever standpoint the Chinese immigration problem is viewed it is complicated enough, but whatever be the solution the Chinamen who are here are entitled to the protection of life and property. For humanity's sake—for decency's sake— grant them that. The perpetrators o* this outrage should be full extent of tho law, fact that troops have and the ring-leaders evident that such will punished to the and from the been seat there arrested, it is be the result, and no amount of anti-Chinese sentiswoetest flowora that could be pro cured. It is a pleasant thing to b€ welcomed by a genial host and smiling hostess, accompanied by sons and daughters, all eager to vie with each other in acts ot hospitality and friendliness. To be met with cordiality, to be treated with deference, to bo prized and honored, to iind oneself the object of universal attention, is truly to oe in an alluring and flattering posi- ;ion. If, however, our hosts "lavish fcindness and courtesies upon us, we aiust be careful that we return to ;heui due acquiescence and politeness. If it be their part to gratify, it is no :ess ours to evince gratification. The agreeable guest is always ready :o accede to any proposal for her delectation; she will walk, she will ride, ihe will remain indoors, at the suggestion of her entertainers. She will aot be clamorous for any special form Df amusement. Her role will bo to respond warmly, but she will never be Ihe first to determine an occupation; she will agree, she will not prompt. Jfet, if pressed to choose, she wiil know her own mind, and will easily indicate the employment she prefers. It is as annoying to a hostess to be answered by one gue*t that she "does not care which," as it is tovher to hear another loudly proclaim that she is "uioat\auxious to do this," or hoping that she will be "able to mauage that." Tho young lady who would be a charming guest should remember that, m another persou's house, it is rude to start a project, or to take the lead, unless expressly invited to do so. It is the guest s part to follow suit. However long her visit, she never ceases to be a guest, and does not constitute herself a daughter of the house. She is ever ready to lend assist a n c e wherHt is required,-btrt-she will refrain from putting herself forward, and from doing every day what she may have been called upon by cnance to do once. Tho agreeable guest, while exacting no tedious formalities, and taking umbrage at no^ fancied neglect or trifling omission, will permit herself to be waited upon, and will accept every mark of distinction, in the consciousness that her entertainers delight in paying her numberless small but pretty attentions. The .voung lady who draws back when her hostess intimates that she should precede her, who hastens to change her own luncheon plate, or who utters extravagant thanks for the gift of a post-card or ment should in any degree mitigate the i the lighting of a candle, proves her self open to the suspicion of insincerity. Good breeding accepts such homage as a matter of course, and, though not forgetting to be gracious, indulges in no absurd and excessive gratitude. In short, a guest should be amiable arid obliging, but neither officious or obsequious. She should be compliant, but not dull; sprightly, but not interfering. "A gracious woman retaineth honor;M/but "artrjswel of gold in a swino*s . snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion." Homo affection may overlook indiscretion and ungraciousness; but strangers are prone to bo more critical and less indulgent.— New York Home Journal. result It will not occasion surprise if the Chinese government demands reprisal as our govern ment would do under like circumstances. But whether this is done or not United States cannot afford to allow such acts to be committed with Jftipflrrrty. f The Chicago Kcws says: "(Jur j valued exchange, the St. Peter bur^ '• Novoe Vremya, says: ' i h e new Mm- j jsterofthe United States at the I m - ' perial Court, Sir Lothrop, who h:is re- ! cently arrived in this city, m idj up hi?

'/• Whistling and Singing Snake. A snake of a very rare kind is now at tiio Smithsonian institution, Washington. It came there on Friday, having been captured near the famous Buck Horn wall, on the line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, near Deer Park, Md. The peculiarity of the snake is that it can and does whistle and sin^ like a young mockingbird. In general appearance it is liko the ordinary sna-s^, except its head is shaped somewhat liko a pug-dog. It is four feet long, and tho largest part of its body is tour and a quarter inchea^in circumference. When whistles or jumps like a frog. Tho head snake professor of the Smithsonian institution is now at Wood's lloil, Mass., and it will probably be sent there for his examination and classification. It is in shape and color altogether different from the African singing snakes, and besfdes issues a louder and more harmonic sound of whistle than is recorded of any of the classes of snakes that are found in the East Indies. A similar character of sni akeJ3_said in the books to be frequently seen on the island of Sumatra. So far this is the first singing or whistling snake that has been found in this couatry. The man who caught it supposed he was chasing a young mocking-bird.— Cor. New York Herald. Sot iu the Menagerie. Yon have seen the current stories about the bright savings of the little nephew of Henry James, the novelist. Let me add another, which Henry James, Sr., used to tell with great gusto. He took^his- Ijttla -grao The Suwanee Hirer. The other day two or three of uo, boon companions—well, there were some thirty or forty in tho excursionwent to that spot famous in song and story—the Suwanee river. The ride to the gulf has already been described; suffice it to say that the trip was swift and agreeable. Tho jungles had lost none of their beauty, the splendid magnolias were in bloom, the grand oaks were garlanded with gigantio grapevines, and the moss was as gray, silken, and fantastic as ever. 'One takes a small steamer going for some distance along the gulf, and, after a night's rest, looks from the sheltered deck upon the lovely Suwanee. The river is quite as large as the upper St. John's, bending in and out in innumerable cur\es for over one hundred miles. In its clear waters you can see the fish leaping and swimming. Every bend throughout its entire course seems more graceful than the last; every stretch more romantic and beautiful. Nowhere is the verdure mote tropical, and as far as the eye can reach one sees an unbroken lino of symmetry. If some gardenor had the care of tho trees on either side his work would call for hearty admiration, but it is all tho handiwork of nature, that magnificent wall of green-- uot a shrub seems to be broken, not a faded leaf can be seen, on a long, vast, unbroken hedge of emerald, and underneath a greensward like a carpet, interlaced with Hno3 of gold and bars of silver, where the sun throws vivid or fainter beams down athwart tho cool, deep shadows.

As if to add pathos and reality to the poet's vision, there comes out an old, old man, his head whitened with the frost of age, and stands leaning on a stick to watch us out of sight. And liter on comes the moon to add lo tho witchery of the surroundings. Over yonder the river has washed in under the live oaksf the tali cypress and the pines. Years ago the Indian and his wigwam dotted these shore?. I have no doubt they were as wild, and perhaps as wayward, as their brothers of the west—rejoicinng in scalps, brandishing the war-knife with savage satisfaction,, and setting fire to the peaceful habitations of the white settlers along the borders. In all probability the poetry of the splendid river was much of it lost upon their uncivilized natures, though it may have kept them cleaner than the majority of their race. They did have some music in them, however, for, notice the names of their towns and rivers. By and by we reach a plantation, but it is in ruins. Yet it blends well with the soft and sad beauty of .the night. Whether or not it is "de olo plantation," who can tell. We know that once it was peopled with happy family groups, niassa's children and niassa's slaves. "de banjo" wore £aves, the negroes sang their blaintfve^ miclodies, while "de white folkses" took their ease on the now deserted lawn that slopes so gently down to the water's edge. landings, at one oi which are the fa ninus iron springs, and, wherever we go, the wonders of foliage, of color, of Abe Buzeard as a Prison Reformer. AtAHKA. I have been nino years in different prisons and 1 am convinced that the system of punishment is entirely false. Many are oonviuted of crimos which they- nuver committed, and others that are guilty are sentenced for term of years—not to cure them of their evil habits or reform their lives, but to feed thein revenge and to associate them witti all clashes of men, to add wickodnoss to thoir wicked designs, and to lay plans for future crimes. For what "is the poor criminal to do after ) ears of imprisonment on the expiraciou of his time, turned out from the prison gate without money, clothes, reputation, or friends, and with no settled point, of destination? But, like a sh'p to>sed on the raging billows, is the poor convict cast on a cold, bitter world, to be beaten about en the vast sea of life, and at last, exhausted in body, distracted in mind, and sick at beaft, lie is led to this last resort—to commit another crime, that the poor, tired, shipwrecked frame may drift back within the gloomy prison wall, his ouly homo. The only way to put nn end to this evil is to do away with limited sentences, political and moneyed influences, and to appoint a committee of Christain men to visit the prison and the prisoners, and when they conclude that a man has become repentant let them be empowered to release him. But if he' should again commit a crime, then let limited sentences deal nurd with him. Let there be sympathy for a man at.his first downfall and not wait until he has become a hero in crime.

"In »iew of the fact that Alaska territory pays a greater revenue to the general government, in proportion to the population, than any other territory now or heretofore in existence in the United States, we deem it as a matter of justice to our citizens that appropriations should be made for the following purposes, to wit: For the repairs of wharves now belonging to tne government; for the construction, erection and improvements of others at the principal points in Alaska waters, and for the erection and maintatnance of light houses for tho safety of life and property of our people.

One of the pleasf.ntest social events of the season was the occasion of the marriage of George E. Lawson, of Detroit, to Miss Kate C. Albright. At the appointed hour, 6 i\ M., the many friends and relatives of the contracting parties assembled at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Fonda, and witnessed the beautiful and impressive jceremony-— w-ki^h was performed-—by- Rev. L. C. York, of Denton. The flowers were profuse and very beautiful. The bride and groom were the recipients of many beautiful and valuable presents. After the ceremony the guests partook of an elegant supper, provided by Mrs. Fonda, which was concluded in time for the happy couple to take the evening train for Detroit, their future home. Monday l.;>t tipi*-.!""! oilices at Howell in the JeweU block. Railroad contractors were here trom all parts of the country to bid for the construction of the bed from Durand to this place — 22 miles. The contract was finally awarded to Messrs. McLanl & Wilson, the former gentleman being a resident of Coldwater, this state, and the latter an Ohio railroader. Immediately upon getting the contract they set men to work at clearing and advertised for 200 teams and 500 men.

Dr. H.N. Spencer was summoned by telephone.to Detroit on Monday to the bedside ot Mrs. H. H. Harmon, who is very sick with inflammation of the stomach. He wasagain called last evening to visit the patient. HOWELL COMMENTS. From the Republican. Joseph'Loree drove into town from Marion last Friday'with a fine team of horses that had suffered the'Joss of their hitherto beautiful tails. Some miscreant, out of revenge probably, had accomplished the dastardly deed the night before. Kobt. Wakefield, at this township, has also been the victim of a. similar outrage, while John Alexander, of MarioX was made to suffer the loss of a/fot ot oats bv someone^ entering ins fieid and scattering and destroying the grain. Frank SmockXiences w e r e l<*t down so that his/sheep could get into his neighbor's corn. Some smart fiend will ye't be brought up short on one of 86 fine fall days for these and si mifar misdeeds that are being perpetrated. Those of our. citizens who all along have had grave doubts about the building of the T. A. A. & N. M. railroad this year are at last satisfied that the compfiny has secured the needful ^nances and now mean . business. Messrs. W." V.

Burgess left his family suddenly and nothing had been heard from him since that time until a-few days since when his wife received a letter from him dated at Winona, Minn., August 22, 1885. He claims to have been wandering in a fit of insanity until a short time before writing the letter and that when he came to himself he was sitting upon the bank ot the Missippl river and suffering from a severe pain in his head. He arose and went to a house near by and has been quite sick ever since, caused by a cancer located at the base of the neck. He will start foi home as soon as he is able.

FJve nun ired and seventy-eight of these re:urns are from ;u> townships l a t h e southern four t ers of counties.' The number oi ac.c-ul wheat thrashed up to about August 2 \ in the south- rn four tiers ol counties, a i shown by tne records kept by t h r a s h e s ' was 106,30 S* th.' vie d from which wa* 3,44).507 bmhcla—an average of twenty and tcventy-one oae-hundiedths bushels pc"r acre. The number of acres thr.vuad in the norther:) * o.inties was 1.,31 s; yieid, 3ei9,4i2 bushels; average, twenty one and t h i n y one hundred lis bu>hels |>er acre. The yield per acre in 'the southern counties is a trifle more than a b.ishel, and in the northern counties nearly one. and three-fourths bushels greater than in* any previous rear. Multiplying the acres in wheat in each county of the southern four tiers by the average yfeld per acre iu the same county, and the acres in the i ortheru counties by the average yield per acre in those c< unties, and adding the products, ve obtain iil 2 ti-> 34o bushels as the probable lotal yield in the statu. This is 4,845,3;5 bushels iu excess of the highest pre- • vious official e-t: mate. In ."uue we stated that, with favorab'e weather unt.l harvest, the ag rregate yield <n the state would exceed 2.),000, leading the bushels and might reach 2"i :.50.000 bush els. The same month the Department of Agriculture, at Washington, estimated the s'*crop at 2 i,000,000 bushels, though the average condition was placed six poiu'8 lower -than in May.

This enormous iucrcase <rf 4 £42,3^2 bmh.tis over previous estimates will doubtless cau c very general surprise, but t > uo one more t h a n ' f a r m e r s themselves. The Augu-t' estimates of correspondents show tl a; the tanners expected a full u v e a ^ e f_ro.p, nut they uid not lookfo- an average per acre tU^t would exceed the highest ever grown. It 1¾ noticeable that (he yield is unexpectedly large in every pai t of the state. The actual yield, as shown by thrashers' re. ords, exceeds the estimate in every instance. >The excess for all the southern counties amounts to ueailv — t h r e e a n d - a h a l f bushcsy-aml for the northotncounties to nearly five bushels per acre. It should, perhaps, be noted here that the department is informed of instances were farmers h a r e reported to the thrashers an acreage considerably below that reported to the Supervisors, but it seems hardly probable that this has been done in a sufficient number of cases to materially affect the totals for the state. There may, however, be more or le-is inaccuracy due to the fact that larmers have thrashonly a p a r t of their crop—generally the part stacked—but just what portion it is impossi ble to determine with certainty. Most Of the errors from this cause should" be corccted iu October. To the question, what variety of" wheat has given the highest yield per acre, 2o2 correspondents in the southern four tiers of counties answer Clawsou, ninety-four F u t \ twenty-six Egytlan, sixteen Lancaster, aud fifty-two an - swefs are divided between twenty-nine Other varieties. .To the <|Uestton, which variety has given the second highest yield, eights-eight answer C auson, 117' Fultz, tittyeight.

From observations taken at the office of the State Board of Health it appears that the weather durin,'August was c older by four and one-half decrees than dur'ng any previous August of which we have r< c ml. The average temperature for the month was s.'xt v-tbree and ^ - h u n d r e d t h s degrees; the average in A u g u s t 18^3, which is the next lowest, being sixty-scv-n aud 7.s-hui;dredths d'.-grees.

A Kensington Romance. '*4*7t was only a London garden, but it Was so walled in from intrusive eyes, was so judiciously planted with flowers that could stand the air of cities and the neighborhood of smoke, was so surrounded by trees, and the walls that encircled it were so covered with creepers, that it was difficult to realize that it was actually a part of that "Old Court "Suburb" which is now a part of London itself. There was an old bowling-green that made the smoothest and greenest of tenniyiawns; there were . stately alleys, planted with quaint shapes of box and yew; an ancient sundial and a mossgrown fountain; trim walks through trellised doorways, that led to conservatories gorgeous with tropical flowers; and shady corners, much apiated- by the "young people who cameNioLady Mary Hazlewood's garden parses, and that at other times were Meta Hazlewood's favorite retreat. Lady Mary was the widow of a general and Meta was her only daughter, a tall and rather stately brunette of twenty-two, who had 'been but two or three seasons, and had refused severa eligible offers without any very appar ent reason. Miss Hazlewoojd-'did not even give any reason, The gentlemen who had doin her^the honor to wish to marry her verenot to her taste, she said, and^seemed to think that statement .conclusive. eta's indifference to suitors was the only point of difference between her mother aud herself. Lady Mary would gladly have seen her daughter suitably settled—as, indeed, what mother would not?—but in the long _ , , - . . , - ruTtFe^TrraTvvrvs-Rsd het way. ! - ! l £ r e U y J o k e n s o f cousinly remembrance •Do mamma?" I » • ff you want to get rid of me, she would ask, with one of the smiles that were half saucy, and wholly sweet; and thero could be but one answe r10 s u eh a quest ion. Nevertheless, Lady Mary could not help feeling that her daughter was perverse." The feeling was intensified just now by an offer from Mota's latest admirer, and by the fact that Lord Castlemau seemed likely to fare no better than those who had gone before him. "I can't understand it, my deafp' said Lady Mary, plaintively^^'What was thero in Sir J o h n R o p e that any girl need have objeptedto?" "He was ngi^to my taste," said Meta, for the liundredth time. "Or- in Captain Shaw? And I am Bjmf they both worshiped the ground you trod on." —"Theywo-uld^a^e-be£njvelcomejto do that if they would only have abstained from worshiping me," said Meta, lightly. 4^My dear, don't be flippant; when •-you reaily fall in love yourself, you will know it is not a joking matter." "Ah! yes—when I do!" said Meta. "And now there is Lord Castleman, a»d you don't seem any more favorably inclined to him." *'I can't help it, mamma," said Met a, rather wearily. She rose and gathered her work together, and left the field to Lady Mary. She was so tired of these endless lamentations, and she know enough of her mother to knew that she would not leave her pet grievance till she had thoroughly exhausted both that and her daughter's patience. .So Meta put on her hat»and strolled into the garden, the shady old world garden that always seemed such a haven of peace and solitude amid ihe whirl and din of the eat city. It was here that Meta rally* came when her mother's d was too plaintive or too loquaus, not railing against the kindly, nwise woman, even in her heart, but eeling the need for a little quiet a,nd solitude, a little time in whfeh to gather her thoughts, and perhapj^Hfe over again the one littleimonth in which the garden had seemed greener er than it had ever seemed jdncC That was five ears ago^aow—that one month of e that had seemed to Lady so much like any other June, that had made the very name of J a n e musical forever in her daugh- . ter's ears. It was Juneagain now, and even in London theWwas a sense of summer 4 In tho air. The garden was at its best, with roses just unfolding, and creepers greenly twining and putting forth delicate tendrils, as yet unsmirohed "by dust or soot The great Ju»e • daisies that grow wild in such abuhdanoe in southern pastures and on breety olifif by the sea, but that needed much care and pains to induce them to grow here at all, were opening thoir yellow discs, and spreading their white fringes in the sun. Meta gathered one, and put it softly to her lips. "The one "flower In the world!" whispered the girl, and then she blushed at her own thoughts, and fastened the flower in her girdle, and told herself it was folly, and worse than folly, to let any "man's words dwell in her heart like this, and come back to her across the years whenever, the daisies blew. Jt was five years ago now, but every June, as the great white daisies opened to the summer sun, it seemed to Meta that she stood once more by Robin Lindsay's side, and heard him tell her that he should never see their blossoms again without thinking of this garden of his cousin Meta. 1 Because they are Marguerites, and I am Margaret?" she asked. "If you like. Or because they aje fair aud white, and tall and stately ami beautiful," said Mr. Lindsay. Shall I tind them and you still here when I come back, I wonder9 Will the daisies bloom year after year, in spite of fogs and smoke? Aud you, Margaret, will you bo here, in spite of all the. suitors who will try tc win and wear the Marguerite that is the one flower in the world forme? She did not answer for a moment. She was only seventeen, and with Robin Lin<L say, at least, she was curiously shy. Ami then, before she could speak, he caught her hands in his. "Don't answer, dear," he said; "I had no right to ask. I will not bind you by a single word. Only give me a flower for old love's sake. It pledges you to nothing, but I may be glad to have it if I come back some day and find no daisies here." "One daisy will be here," said Meta softly—so softly that perhaps he did not hear; or perhaps he would not. Robin Lindsay had no fortune but his profession, but he was a Scots3- man, and as proud as he was poor. It seemed to him a baseness to try to win a pledge from this young cousin of his, whose njether looked so much higher torjxet, and to whom an engageme^tr to himself could only bring^yiSars of indefinite waiting. The wAitThg and the burden of separatiehand doubt and anxiety should his, and not hers, he told himself; and so he went away and left her free, not understanding'that her freedom was a heavier burden than them all. He only wrote once, a formal letter to Lady Mary, acknowledging her hospitality, that somehow found its way among Meta's treasures; but every year there came a Christmas card adorned with white Marguerite daisies, and bearing an Indian postmark and the initials R. L. That was all; just such Christmas cards as any one might have sent, mother once more. "Lord Castleman is well born, distinguished, a polished gentleman, and an upright man. What taulf can you find in him?" "None," said Meta, wearily. She thought that life would have been easier to her if her suitors had been a little less unexceptionable. "Then, my dear, why do you not accept him? Do you know, Meta, wbat is the natural conclusion when a girl behavea^s you do?" " Y e s , " \ s a id Meta, hastily. "The natural concktsion, the only conclusion, is that she likes her home and her mother too well to leave them." Lady Mary put aside' the flattery with lofty indifference. ••*Tho natural conclusion is that there is some one she likes better- or fancies she does," said tho mother considerately changing the form of expression as she saw the sudden flame in Meta's (iheeks. It faded as quickly as it had come, and Mela said steadily— "That is not the case with me, mamma." It was not a willful untruth. Her morning's communings with the daisies had brought home the conviction that Robin Lindsay had forgotten her, or thought of her only as a cousin, and nothing could therefore be more evident to Margaret Hazelwood than that her own leelings must have undergone a similar change. " l a m relieved to hear it," said Lady Mary. "I had really begun to wonder— absurd as it seems—if there could have been anything between you and K o b i n ^ - " "No! oh no!" cried Meta vehemently^ "How could you think so, mamsted al might be the emptieot of compli ments; but Meta flushed into trembling delight over them, and hid theui away as a miser hides his gold. And LadyM ary, Jk>p k i ng k i n d ly her daughter, with the uuex acumen which otherwise fpoiish wo men sometimes displayiri matters of the heart, though^to herself that if Meta had not^betj'n such a child when Robin Lijidsay went away, she might havq^fanekd thera had been some oncsenso ' between the cousins when they wandered so long in the garden those soft June evenings five long years ago. It was only a passing thought, dismissed the next instant as too unlikely for serious reflection, but it came back to Lady Mary with startling vividness this fair June morning as she went into the gardeu in search of Meta, and found her standing by the daisies with •eyes_iliat_wexe-luminous and—tenderma, when he h as - ne ver=x>~She stepped, afraid of her own voice. WThat was she going to do? To falter and break down before her motlier—to betray the weakness that had robbed her girlhood of its brightness^ and that instead of being conquered as she had believed, seemed ready to overwhelm her now with a Sudden despairing shame? She paused a moment, steadying herself against the garden seat, fab>-|and then she said with a nervous little laugh—"How could you be so absurd, mamma? I should "have thought you knew me better than that." The two women were both too much excited to notice outside things. It came upon them both with a little shock, when a page appeared before them and announced that Lord Castleman was in the drawing room. "1 will come," said Lady Mary ner* vously, and then she looked at her daughter. "My dear, what will not. sacrifice your happinesss—" "My happiness is not in mamma," said Meta proudly can send Lord Castleman to me. Lady Mary did not venturojte^ask any more. She kissed her^daughter, and went off to her guests, rejoicing. Meta would not^hWve sent for him only to iejee>h1m, ^he f»i» a^™. And as for jtlre doubts which, the daisieshacL^ uggested, if Lady Mary d|d not lieve her daughter's protestations as entirely as Meta wnuhHiavn wishnil, 3he believed in ihe^-healing power of time and the evanescent nature of human" emottcjrjg, ^vvith-a-fullness of conviction that Meta herself would probably never attain to. She turned for a moment and looked at the girl's white clad figure with tender maternal pride^ah^TrrerTsbo went on to and sad. The golden bosses, surrounded with pearly shafts of white, suddenly recalled the Christmas cards that had borne them in every variety of dainty devices. And when Lady Mary looked at her daughter with unconscious appeal and questioning, she knew, with a thrill of unwelcome conviction, that the girl's eyes fell before her own. Was this it—This—that Meta, her proud, unapproachable Meta, was only proud and unapproachable becauseshe was already won, and -W_P.IL either clandestinely or unwooed? Either supposition seemed a desecration to Sleta's mother, with Meta standing before her in her proud young beauty; only the daisies made a n^ack ground to her thoughts, an unacknowledged arriere pensee. that had its share in determining her speech. *'Do you know that Lord Castlema is coming for his answer this morn ing?" she asked with an attempt at severity of demeanor that^w^s not too successful.

You will say>*2tfo' so much more graciously thaarlTshould.1' "But need it be 4No,' MetaP" "What else can it be?" said Meta, rather drearily. The daisies were an unconscious background to her thoughts also. The daisies that had brought only happy memories and golden dreams to the girl in her teens, had come to have quite other meanings for the woman of twenty-two. Five years! Was it likely that the five-years-old story could seem anything but a boy and girl romance to Robin Lindsay now? That was the question that the daisies bad been asking Margaret Hazle wood this morning, that they had already asked her more than once as the empty years went by, and Robin Lindsay gave no sigh bf claiming "the one flower in the world for him." — "Need it be 'tfo,' MetaP" said her shall I say. You your prospectsquestion, 'You »1 the house and into the drawing room, glowing with satisfaction and good will. ~ Lord Castleman was standing by the table with a face tha was becoming anxious and grave, but he flushed into eager anticipation as Lady Mary came into the room. "You bring me good tidings," he cried joyfully. "I seo it in your ey^sr"- ^ - — _ "She will see you," said Lady Mary, beaming with smiles. "You will find her In lier favorite corner by the conservatories." ^— Ho pressed her hand, and went, seeing everything a little mistily through the sudden dazzle of new hope; but pleading his jcause with as much humility as'though he had not just seen Lady Mary, and drawn his own deductions from the encouraging interview. And Meta sat with downcast eyes,: listened to his tale in a silence^fatTfelt to be still more encouragingfbtrt-whea he would have taken hjerhand she drew sjie-'said; "there is someonld like to show vou it back. "Wait," thing I first she took from her pocket a faded leather case, and opened it with fingers that trembled a little in spite of her efforts to keep them still. Inside were the Christmas cards with the pretty frosted daisies, and the robins that "used' to be so seldom absent from Christmas cards, but that had. perhaps a special reference in these, and with them a letter that was a little frayed about the edges now. LordrCastleman stared, as he might perhaps be excusod for doing. "What are these?" he said. "Pardon me; I don't understand." "It was very foolish— and it was all five years ago," faltered Meta, "but I thought you ought to know." He understood now, and his brow lowered ominously. He was all Lady Mary had called him—he was well born and distinguished, a polished gentleman, and an upright man, but he was not large souled. The confession that Meta hud made, with a pain he could not even understand, moved him to no generous sympathy; it only wounded bis vanity and stung his pride. He took the cards and the letter fron her, and tore them into a thousand pieces, and then he turned upon his heel. "Miss Hazlewood, I have the honor to wish you good morning," he said, with a stiff little bow. " I appreciate your candor, but you will understand that a Castleman does not care to be second to any other man." He went away with his head in the air, knocking over his chair in his agitation, and Meta was conscious of a very unheroic feeling of relief. To please her mother, and to save her own pride, she had brought herself to think that she might accept Lord Castleman, but the sense of relief showed her how great an escape she had had. How long she sat where be had loft her she never quite knew. Her eyes were on the torn and scattered fragments that were all that remained to her of her girlhood's dream, and as she sat and mused her face was grave and sad—but it was a sadness in which Lord Castleman had neither part nor lot. The opening of the garden roused her at last* And thei life is sometimes kinder to us tbl deserts or our imaginings—sj her eyes and saw some one coming"up the walk—some one whose coming hei own pride had come near to making a curse instead of a blessing.

If the loyalty and and patriotism o|ythe country were fairly represented in the persons making up an overwhelming majority of those who ligured as speakers and manipulators at the meeting, the wonder should be that the country has a flag or anybody worthy, if able, to hoist it. Happily there are patriots in the country; men who adore the stars and stripes and who will fight for the flag whenever occasion requires: these men are the great majority, the good and Irue men_who .don't have to prove their loyalty by getting drunk on "bummed" whisky, nor by blatantly calling themselves patriots on every public occasion.

Methods of the British Politician as Shown In N the Contest at V» ooilatock. At an early hour this morning, says The London Standard in its account of the Woodstock election, the friends of the two candidates were astir, tho carriages were seen outside the rival committee rooms awaiting orders. Mr. Grant had only fourteen vehicles at command, whereas more than forty had been placed at the disposal of Lord Randolph Churchill's managers. The duke of Marlborough not only (ent his carriages, but allowed them to aarry the Blenheim colors, which he had at first forbidden. Mr. Mason, Mr. A. Brassy, Capt. Waller, Col. Gordon Watson, and many of the local farmers were among those who provided vehicles for carrying conservative voters to the poll. This circumstance was undoubtedly an advantage to the tories, inasmuch as, owing to the wildly scattered character of the constituency, which is more like the division of a county than an ordinary borough, many of the voters had to travel two or three miles to reach the polling-station. As the farmers arc busy just now in literally making jiay while the sun shines, some were unable to give up the time which would be accessary to enable them to walk to and from the poll. In a few instances, indeed, they refused to exercise the franchise even when a friendly carriage ancf pair were placed at their service. One of the conservative agents, for example, called on a farmer at Handborough, whose vote was 3onsidered to be ''safe." "Come along," he said, " I have brought a - -trap-to-take you to__th&school room. and you shall also have it to bring you back, so that you needn't lose more than twenty-five minutes." The voter »hook his head, and pointing to the newly-mown grass he was rasing together, declared that he could not possibly leave it in such fine weather. "But you want Lord Randolph to get in?" urges the indefatigable canvasser. "Yes," the farmer replied, "but I know he's safe enough without me; ae'll have a hundred votes to sparj tn vain the other party to^thVdia '.ogue poioted out the rashness of such in assumption, and-^protested that jvery vote was^oiimportanco. The husbandman^put his foot down and jaid: i*Ifoa, I shan't leave ma hay." consideration was doubtless operative in other cases, to the disadvantage in the main of the radical candidate. In Woodstock town there was more excitement than had been noticeable during the earlier days of the contest. A crowd, which grew in extent as the day rolled on, collected in the neighborhood of the town hall, the principal polling station, which is also in lose proximity to the liberal and conservative headquarters. As the electors walked or drove up to record their votes they became the objects of cheering on the part of their sympathizers, ^nd-of-mu^h-'iboolng" on the part of the other side. But the demonstration invariably took a good humored turn; -indeed, nothing has _b^enjnoro marked throughout the proceedings of the past week than the orderly and almost friendly manner in which the fight bas been conducted by both parties. In some of the outlying districts, particularly Wootton, Handborough, Stonesfceld and Tackley, the wives and daughters of the laborers manifested intense interest in the polling. Unlike the majority of ladies m Woodstock proper, who are "pink" from head to heel, they for tho most part Jonned the "blue," and sought to encourage each other and to pour cule on the opposition, by recitkfg a couplet of native origin, wjueu rau: Tiue Blue forever; RandotpTTs a beggar. Put bim in tbe potjjkatfboil him forever. The ChurchjUltes stare.strongest at. vYoodstopk^and Kidington, but they asseriedthemselves in no small force en in the radical strongholds. Viscountess Cnrzon and Lady Randolph Churchill were busy throughout the day conferring with the conservative jommittee and visiting the polling stations. They drove tahdero/as usual,, Lady Curzon's smart handling of the ribbons provoking admiration everywhere, whilst the affability of both ladies, and their devotion to the interests of their absent relative, compelled universal respect. One object of their mission to the outside districtswas to circulate placards announcing* the decisive/ conservative victory achieved at Wakefield. The poly closed at 4 o'clock, and about an/hour elapsed before the ballot- boxes from all the stations reached the town hall. When they had been received the counting of the votes wasat 6uce proceeded with in the presence of the mayor. Mr. Pratt, who acted as returning" officer. Shortly before 7 o'clock the mayor appeared at the window, and, amid great excitement, announced the result as follows: Lord Randolph Churchill ( C ) , 532; Mr. Corrie Grant (R.), 406; conservative majority, 127. Great cheering and waving of hats, ribbons and handkerchiefs followed directly the numbers became known. Ladies R. Churchill and Curzon, Sir H. Dranimond Wolff, and Sir F. Milner, who were watching-the proceedings from the windows of the Bear hotel, were also greeted with congratulatory cheers. •• :'r; On Being a Guest.

There seems to be a slight misunderstanding about the prices at the skating rink, which are as follows: Admission, for gents' 10 cents; gents' skates, 5 cts. Ladies admitted free; ladies' skates 10 cts. Skating from 6:30 to 9 P. M. Tuesday and Saturday evenings. Look out for a "sunflower" party at the rink Saturday eve., Oct. 3. A short time since the citizens oi Bancroft gave Mr. and Mrs. Frank Fish ahsurprise party, presenting him with a $35 rolling invalid chair, and her a willow chair. This shows very plainly that Mr. Fish has many friends who sympathize with- and aid him in his affliction. Although not yet recovered from his stroke enough to converse, he is gaining slowly, and the doctors speak more encouragingly of him. those who do not use fire-arms frequently. Never point a gnu or revolver at any one, whether known to be loaded or not; when loading a gun, or going thiongh the woods, never hold or carry it so that it discharged, it would shoot yourselt or anyone else. Never drag a gun through a fence, a brush heap or out of a boat, with the' muzzle toward you. If you must drag it, hitch a string on the butt end and drag it about ten rods to the windward. And last but not least, never discharge your gun until you see' the game and know what you are shooting at; if not positive on this point, you had better go home and dispose of the deadly weapon than assume the life-time responsibility of shooting a fellow man,—Ogemaw Co.- Herald. 4 List of Petit Jarors, The following are the list of jurors drawn tc serve at the October term of court, which begins October 13th, at* 1 p.

Moore, of Massachusetts, offered Boston as the place in bchal of the Massachusetts horticultural Society, gome des.red that it be held at Kochester, N. Y.. but by a unanimous vote It was decided to hold the meeting at Boston. The a ternoon was devoted to a discussion on app es and in the evening Chas. E. Bessey, of Nebraska, delivered and address on injurious fungi. SEPTEMBER 10. When the meeting had been called to order Prof, Arthur of New York discussed the nature of fung and related many interesting experiments he made to show how it can be transmitted. The germ that causes pear' originates on the tree, is washed off into the ground and taken up in the moisture- or drv air, and this comes in contact with the de.icate ifj.ne tree in the spring-and-shows itselt In the blackening of the limbs, about July 1. in hot moist weather. The peur bight is caused by this bacteria, a germ. Yhepiar blight can be communh ated by washing out $ • nice in a (isease\i limb, i he germ n the . Juice and not the ju ce it elf is-ti e commun/ ca ing ( ause. 1 he disease would result ,jtim inoccuh ion by germs, out in no instanee-from the jucie 'rom, w-hieh the germs were removed. The germ o; bacteria that causes pear blight is a di-tinct germ irom others thayattack the vegetable growth like the apple/and quiDce, arid t alone will produce peat blight T^his germ will not produce pcacjr blight. In response to a question the professor said: • It is not certain that appear tree will be entirely killed by the attack: of the I lighting germ onalimo. It may/progress throughout the tree or it may s>dp at any time. If the tree is atta ked on ipv uody below the branches, as it may t e through a small twig or bud, unless discoveryd^at once and cutout it wi 1 he dead. The treew 11 turn brown or black when affect ed l^efore the leaves turn, i his iV hard to see leaves are first to thow the I light rly. ihe knife used in removing diseased twigs or r ark need not be constantly dropped in <Jarholic-acldLto prevent communicating the disease. There is no cure foTblight: The tree is killed as far as it reaches. Only an antlceptit; will prevent it, and that is practicalK Impossible. The only th ng to do is to cut and save as much as possible. Washjjg^the trunk of the tree witi sulphur-^nd 1 me would not be effective. He kaew nothing of the yellows in the peach^iSQ made no experiments in that direction. The practical thing to do to prevent blight in the pear is to not force a rapid growth. Prof. Beal read a note from Prof. Burrill on frape rot, alleging it-s appearance in the Inited States. Pi of. l.azenby of Ohio spoke on the methods of prot etion against frosts. A mulch ol straw is used as a winter protection, and not removed in the spring. Experiments at the Ohio experiment station showed a diilerence of over three degrees great r warmth where there was no straw than- whe e there w^s straw. Tnffe and other exper ments showed that frost is more likely on mulched ground than ' n bare ground. Smoke would be a protection but is not possible in the open air. The difference in temperature of so 1 he •could not state, but there is a difference in favor of dark soil. A delegate stated that in New Jersey the diffe ence between muiched and unmnlcied ground was from five to seven degree* in favor oi the bare ground, but winter malch use i in kei pi g back the fruit blosa e ^ on strawberries is beneficial. On the methods of conducting horticultural societies, Mr. • Pierce of Ohio read a paper. The newspaper was his principal reliance in h swork f( r success. ^Mr. Garfield of Michigan very heartily indorsed the sentiments set fortb by Mr. Pi rce, Lessons f.om tLe world's exposition were set , foith in a paper read by Mr. Goodman of Mis- i!>uri and was followed'by Mr. T. T. Lyon of lichlgan. The fruit for exhibition was arranged at the armory, and presented a very fine appearance. There were about 4,000 plates containing specimens of nearly every variety Known to pomologists. Nearly every state and territory was represented, Michigan's share being: Twenlv-four plates of apples and three crates by C. C. 'Wicks of Lowell, Mich.; apples and plums by 8. K.

No. 10 CAVENDISH ROAD, REGENT'S FAHK, LONDON, July 22.—London is a marvel; it is the many-sided representative of all tit es, of all nations, of all p, ople*. of all arts, anil all industries, ( Biuiide am! u.most rustic in some of its wa\s, inujectio in its achievements, . grand mid munificent in its chanties an,, .IH hos|> taltties. In comparison |w.ih t> methods, its vastness, its populai on. as roa, its immense diversities ol internals, New York seems like a village of one or two streets. From the i"le of Wight we reach the metropolis bv ihe iNurthwestern Railway in three hours aud a half, one hour of wn.oh is consumed by boat to Southampton. We are a party of three, -with throe trunks aud any quantity of smaller impediments.- it is a problem how to rrauh our destination north of Regent's Park and take our luggage along, ior we are booked for a concert and cricket match immediately upon our arrival. The station azent advTsesXprlvate "bus," -wiiieb takesour party ai.d its belongings the three miles for four shillings, truuks included, with sixpence extra for the driver- and a shilling extra for handling. .- Oar stopping plaeo is a ©hurraing home outside the noiso and bustle of Londou, but within fifteen minutes of Oxford and Regent Circus by bus and close by Regent's Park upon a "road lined with trees, where the houses have walled gardens front and back, and the Dirds s ng in the trees all the duv long. The neighborhood is a favorite one with artists and professional- people, for it is quiet yet easilv accessible, and the drives in every direction are through the finest neighborhood by Regent's Park to the business part of the city, and through Hyde Park to South Kensington and its Museum. South Kensington is lore modern and professionally fashionable, but it is »1sn much more with creepers, so luxuriant in foliage as to give the effect of a conservatory, and to every meal the al fresco character in which Londoners seem to delight as much as their continental neighbors. A door set deep in massive stone admits to "Corda Lodge," and if the visitor has a horse and carriage H is hospitably entertained in the stable, the iron door of which is visible at the left of the picture. The house is rented upon one of the ninety-nine year leasts—common in London, by virtue of which the tenant is practically the owner, paying the taxes, being responsible for repairs and for the good sanitarv condition of the premises, the original proprietor simply receiving his rental without further responsibility. Americans in London have manv pleasant associations connected w'ith Miss Ward's hospitable house and her mother's weekly reunions, arid lament the probability of a breaking up of a bright international circle, for the English climate is hard upon maladies contracted by Mr. Albert Ward, from exposure and actual want of uroper food while a member of the United Stntos Legation in Paris during the Franco-Prussian war; and as Miss Ward possesses equal talent in sculpture as in dramatic art her tour around the world is an actual aud positive farewell of the stage, and its completion in New York next March will be the signai for retirement frotruthe stage, the adoption of the rieT iant organ, planoforte^and vocal re citala- in the grounds the fountains were illuminated and all the trees f " the very top of the tallest to 1 solid and sensible-looking.

It is all the more distinct and remark able because a serious study ot a simple minded and pious clergyman upon the l u g e is so rare. Usually they are mere strings upon which to hang a ser field es of gags, but the "Vicar of Wakei " is a refined and intellectual minutest de „R ivi a as a home and sculpture as a pastime, if hot a proresswm---N-aturallv, her first appearances will be made in ""London, Paris, or Manchester, portrait, faithful to the tail, fit to place in the small gallery of the most illustrious impersonation's and keep in one's memory forever.

The Fourth of July we spent in a truly patriotic manner. The wide window of the breakfast room opening upon a garden was draped with a lar^e American flag, which was saluted with all the honors.

The old man than told her that behead* 1 a situation for her out n the country, 1 and she accord ngly went to a village, to the house of an old man of 60 years, l o r two months, accor i ng to her account, she remained there doing the work of a servant, but at the end^ of th s time her aged employer wished to establish more ntimafe relat on* w t n her.

Among the arpsts, dramatic and other, whose^romes are in this neighborhood u Miss Genevieve Ward, who is now in Australia on a tour around the world, signalized by many cur.ous adventures. Miss Ward's mother, who was a daughter of Gilbert Leigh, one of theearlv Mayors of New York, and her brother Albert, who was attached to the American Legation in Paris during the Franco-Prussian war, constituted the residential family and relate with infinite gusto the otl'er of a -Maori chief in New Zealand to Miss Ward to put away all his wives if she would consent to take their place. Mrs. Lucie l.eigh Ward is a very remarkable woman, and it is from her that Miss Ward derives her remarkable gifts. She was seventy-six Che22a of last May, yet she was the feature ot a brilliant'"at home" the other after noon, when she recited at Dr. Langdon Downes, with intinite expression Thackerey's "Canebottomed Chair.

Her pictures, ~wlfich Th'e~walis of her d are filled, lack the technique which is the result of train ng. but they are excellent n color iind feeling. -Her son has a collect,on of upwards of th rty miniatures painted by his mother and which Be calls "his ••treasures," and which are most interesting and valuable as studies. Mrs Ward's memory dates back to the time when a stream ran through Canal street in £ew York, and Eighth street was a sandy lane leading to rich green fields, aud a hill upon which the elegant out of-town residences were built—her father s anion* the number. Mr. Le'gh built and occupied the first marble house in New York, at lo Broadway, and imported lor it the first mtrblo bath e\er brought to the young city Italy-. taken the house, vacated by Mr. Low ell.

It was perhaps good enough when built soine forty years ago, to answer the purpos-' es of a new country in t l ^ back woods. But day by day its timbers have been rotting, it's iron rusting and the concentrated exudations of humanity adhering to-TTS^walls until it has become utterly unfit to contain human beings, and entirely unsafe and useless as a place of confinement. In the mean time the county has been growing rapidly in population and wealth, the tramp disease has sprung up, criminals have increased in number more than proportionately with the growth of population, and in audacity and cleverness beyond imagining, md our idea** too upon the requirements of a jail anl'the methods of management have changed so that the jail of forty years ago is now universally recognized as but the most eificient means to increase the evil it was designed to check. For the^eounty to build a new jail would not be eiteayagance. Indeed it is extravagrance to attenipt to use a jail so dilapidated that horsettrieves, burglarshand tramps know that they can ply their vocations in perfect safety throughput the county, and if arrested break out any night they may THE NEW AND ELEGANT — H I G H WILL BUY A HEAVY, ALL-WOOL BUSINESS PANTS, MADE TO ORDER I u JENNIE JUNE" SEWING MACHINE IS THE BEST, BUY NO OTHEB.

All the money he could command or borrow he invested in shares of the two mines, and when the allotment was finally settled and public excitement had somewhat cooled, it was found that the telegraph operator was worth ¢3,00 ,000. But he was not content, and speculated largely in much less safe investments, s& -that when the commercial crash came soon after it quite ruined him.

He had no father or mother, in fact he never remembered having any; as for a name, Chips was all the one he owned and he didn't even know who gave him that. But for all this Chips was happy, and gayly plied his trade. One morning he had bought his papers and was stand ng on the street waiting for customers. . I n about an hour his papers wepBall sold but one. Tuck ng it under his arm, he began ' to walking slowly up the stieet, ffazing.at the things displayed n the windows. As he was passing j& jeweler's store a gentleman cam>-%urryinj: out, and in doing so -klfocked against Chips. "Ah! I beg your pardon, boy "that omrof to-day's newspapers have there?"

For a day or two after this Chips came around in the ne ghborhood of the• eweler's in hopes of see ng the g e n t l e m m , but he did not meet h m. At last he concluded that he would u-e the n ne cents in buying newspapers and every day as he counted up his gains he laid by one cent for the use of the n ne cents, putt ng it all away to f vc.to the gentleman if he ever saw im aga n. ^- Eight years had passed and Chips was still selling newspapers, but his bus ness had grown so large that he served his customers at their homes.

In about two hours he became so disgusted that he packed his things and was just going to start for home, when he heard a cry for h d p . He followed up the sound and arrived just In time to see two men hurrying off, leaving another man lying in the road. Chips went over and examined the man, w-io, though somewhat older looking, was recognized by the astonished boy ns Mr. Armstrong.

Reduced rates on the 0. T. this week tb Jackson on account of their county fair. ' The new postal cards are beinpr sent out, but not fast enough to supply the demand. A petition has been largely signed to have* the present mail line from Howell to Dexter continued. R. C. Auld received eight first premiums and three second premiums on his herd of Aberdeen cattle at the state fair, the aggregate amount of which was $250. He went from there to South Bend, Ind. Miss Georgiana Martin, of Detroit, Jias rented... the rooms formerly occupied by Mrs. Hicks as a millinery shop and will open a, dressmaking shop and fancy goods store therein. The rooms are being nicely fitted up for her. ' The Stock bridge fair will be held this year on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Oct..6, 7 and 8, and a fine show and good attendance is expected. They have added new buildings to their grounds and their track is in excellent condition. Some of our exchanges and their correspondents believe in stating facts just as they occur. Notwithstanding their statements may seem a little improbable to the uninitiated. Here is a couple of specimens: A correspondent in the Vernon Inter-Lake speaking of the merits of a small team says "Mr. Fowler cut during the late harvest 11^ acres of heavy wheat in twenty-eight minutes with a Buckeye binder drawn by the * same small team." This is at the rate of a little over 23 acres an hour, or 230 acres per day, which may be considered by some a fair day's work. The next item we get from the Holly Advertiser, in which a correspondent from Bryon says: "Last season we planted 30 acres of corn, from which we har^ vested 26.000 bushels of ears/' This is only a little over 866 bushels to the gp.rp, hnt corn raisers about here would regard it as irrore^fcban an average crop.—Fenton Independent. PLAIrHflELD SPLASHES. From our CorrespomJeai. Light frosts every night but do no harjri. M. Topping, under instructions of W . S. Cool (path-master) has done a •good job-of grading streets in town. E. T. Bush & Son have a new miller and all are pleased with his make of flour. I see by Ingham County News that Plainfield is burdened with three M. Ds. and wonders how they get a living. 1 would say for the correspondent's edification, they all seem to'|ive and no one knows that they beg or stoaK S'. &. Topping and wife have gone to Kansas to visit Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Wasson and other friends. "Vet" Riley, of Lansing, is visiting friends in this vicinity; he says his father and mother are well, which their many friends in this vicinity will be glad to hear. ANDERSON GATHERINGS. From oar Correspondent. JJr. J. T. Eaman, of this place, has . <?one to South Lvon, accompanied by Jfrapk Hoff, who is to manage that station for him during the apple season. He also opens a market at Pinckney, Gregory and Stockbridge. Now ye farmers bring on your apples. O. B. Eaman is acting alTbook-keeper for his brothers, of the firm of J. T. Eaman & Co. Mr. James Pangborn, an old and highly respecteff" citizen, living about two miles west of this place, died at an early hour Monday morning after ^ a j o n g and painful illness. The family have the sympathy of a host of friends. The funeral services were held at the house at half past ten .o'clock Tuesday morning. Mr. Chandler Dunning, Miss Jennie Wataon and Mrg. Willie- more, all of Cnadilla, paid us a friendly call on Saturday last. Glad to see you, come M L , \ tiote of Business in Anderson, wkeat and apples coming in rapidly. Jf yon don't think it «lively ask Wm. ^Jtetttch, who does the unloading of YTei'Ulu;? Floivers. For reccui weddings neome be&ut'ful floral designs have been made, some ol which are novel. At one, the bouquet of the b itlo was composed of Lily oi the Valley, several hundred sprays being used in tliisoue bunch. The bi idesmaids' bouquets we'ro of Crimson King^ Carnations, fringed with "Maid 'of guernsey" chryHanthemums}.. each bunch contain d 150 carnations, and the edging of the wild white petals of the chrysanthemums was exquisitely lovely. At a charming wedding, the bride and bridegroom Btood under a wishbone of flowers in heroic siz.' wliich was swung from one end of the drawing- room lroni a stc-m fringed with autumn loaves. Tho top of the wishbone was stadd:ut with brilliant carnations of La ?u« tie vwiety. The ends ware al*o of ita.n tiower. Tha^jtnlvs of the wishbone were v.oven with white carnations. Smilax garlanded the banisters. The p.&nt decoration was small but choice. The bride carried a bunoh Df Mermet roses a id the bridesmaids' bouquets were of crimson King Carna' tion§ and lVrlo des Jardin rosebuds. For another wedding, n lattice screen was ntadr to-eowr the long mirror before which the marriage took }>lace. Th.'s screen was composed of coils of smilax plaided, and t.ie effect of this light lattice was very oejuitiful. Over the top was suspouded a large basket of roses and spring flowers. There waa a straw vi'.so tilled with .pink .rosebuds and mignonette, with a cluster of Jacqueminots at the center. The novelty in ornamental growing plants for the house is the hanging shell of Lycopodivmt which is cxtrenn ly pretty. Some of the shells are ordinary conch shells; others are made of glazed plaster, and colored with foam tints. The moss is arranged to droop, and it has a light and refreshing effect. Brackets rilled with Lycopouiiantidd grace andcheerfulness to any apartment. The only caro required is sprinkling as often a*, the moss dries. Growing ferns are the fashionable ornament for the table. Recent adornments for an evening reception consisted of a floral piece representing a musical score, the bars woven in flowers on a white background, the whole supported by a floral harp. Over the mirror-was a network of delicate smilax, which crossed the glass in deep festoons, on which rested tinj humming-birds, id butterflies. Against the wall, on o . side was a lyre, on the other a harp. ;round and on the mantle were ai,. vd handsome plants; amid which *>fi ..1 • piano made of tiowsrs. Over the folding doors leading to the libran was suspended, lrom cordons of sun lax, a flower violin and flute. Rireh-liavk canoes, lined with tinjind planted with ferns, or tilled with cuTT flowers and trailing vines, suspended from the chandelier, have a very pretty effect, in conjunction with other decora* tions, Jfor evening enter Lainmenta.— Ftoral Wnrtd. - - Floral i'lo'ck*. We read that at the opening of each hour, by night and by day, somewher*, a band of "feathered quiristers" bre-akl into happy song; from branch or roof* ti\e, skimming the waves, or stirring the stillness of forest depths, the sweet arousing strain awakens silvery echoes. And so it> is with flowers; each plunt has its appointed season of awakening to a new day. And beautifully has one of our ^ wm poets given the story of this joyous greeting tuxie: "Ah! well 1 mind the calendar (F.irbiul Ti.roii^-h a tin usa.d yeartd r O. the paint >t race o; lowers— 1 3ftt> t to < 5VH, e: a t to horns, V'onnt (\ n t!i<- RpRtil-us dial Yon 'br i'lcwl ?i-dine IMMS.

Louis, March 12.—It was expected t h a t the Missouri Pacific officials would at-, tempt t o move their blockaded freight yesterday morning, but no such action was •taken, and the yards of that company re- Attained quiet until the afternoon. On the Iron Mountain road a freight train was .made up early in the morning and started toward Carondelet with the engine under a full head of steam, and passed through that city a t express-train speed. This action by the railway company .aeemed t o take the strikers unawares, for •no opposition was attempted at any point until the train reached De Soto, Mo., where A delegation of Knights boardecLthe train, aide-tracked it, and afterward "killed ' the engine. No opposition was offered by the crew to the action of the Knights and no conflict occurred. In the afternoon the Missouri Pacific engineers held a secret session and decided to return t o work. It was then decided by ftujpSftntendsnt Kerrigan t o send a freight trait}' west, and preparations were Immetilately made to make up a train. After cousuerable delay a locomotive .came d o w n the track manned by Engineer Marvin and Fireman Harrison. When the train was almost ready t o start two men appeared on the scene, one of whom proved t o be John D. Williams, vice-president of fche local executive committee of Knights of Labor. The latter immediately centered into a low-toned conversation with Engineer Marvin, and, after considerable talk and evident pleading, the engineer stepped from 6us caimnd announced that -he-would ^*ot prevails,. dm p?#*'' LEAD FOR THE STRIKERS.

The passenger engine which was t o take the St. Louis train south was captured a t the round-house by masked strikers and sent after the freight train. The freight train was overtaken at Benton and was disabled, and the strikers started back toward Little Rock with the passenger engine. At Mablevale, ten miles south of the city, they waited on a side track for the passenger train t o g o by. The train eaine along and when the last car had passed they threw the switch open and dashed out in the direction of Little Rock. United States Marshal Fletcher and several deputies were on the passenger train, accompanied by Superintendent Wheeling. The track was cleared for a switch engine, the officers g o t aboard and pursued the strikers, both reaching and dashing past the depot under full headway. While, crossing the bridge the pursuing engine caught and made fast to the strikers' engine, and the officers begun climbing aboard, ordering the strikers t o stop. They refused, and on reaching the north sids of the bridge several strikers jumped off, and the otiicers began firing. About fifty shots were fired, and one striker named Sullivan was shot in the leg severely, and was captured. Seven 'others besides Sullivan were captured, and the officers are in pursuit of the fugitives, about eighteen in number. The captured strikers wore released on bond, and/now every thing is quiet, although considerable excitement LABOR'S -.« J A take o u t the train. The locomottve-wasr nefcurned t o the round-house. Superintende n t Kerrigan stated that uo further effort would be made t o move trains at present, and thus ended the first effort to resume traffic on the Missouri Pacific road. 8 T . LOCIB, March 12.—Martin Irons, chairman of the Executive Board of District Assembly No. 101, Knights ol Labor, h a s prepared a statement of thegrievances a«d^the demands of the striking employes of the Gould Southwest system, and has .sent i t to Colonel Hoxie, first vice-president and general manager of the Missouri Pacific railroad. The statement proceeds by setting forth that it is the belief of every Knight of Labor upon the Gould system that the roads it embraces have inaugurated a systematic method of "breaking up their organization, to check which action the strike has commenced. In . ordering t o bring about a speedy adjust- \ ment of the difficulties now existing between these roads and their former employes, Mr. Irons makes the proposition t h a t a conference be arranged betweerf the management of the Gould Southwest Companies and the District Executive Board Of Assembly No. 101 of the 'Knights of Labor t o a g r « to propositions enumerated -in the statement, the principal of which ore the fixing of wages to be paid unskilled ;laborut $1.50 per day, bridgemen, from $ 2 to $2.75 per day; the abolishment of convict Tabor; a" better regulation of the apprentice system; extra pay for overtime a«d for work at night or on .Sunday, and> an agreement that all men unjustly disicharged be reinstated at the conclusion of I tne strike; It is understood that Vice-President Hoxie has been in communication with •fay Gould during most ot the week, the latter being in Havana, and the cable between C'ubu and this country has been kept pretty busy carryi « g dispatches between these high officials. The Trades Assembly of this city, which is composed of regularly appointed deleg a t e s from all the trades unions, have held a meeting and adopted absolutions recog- : nixing the railroad strike1 as a struggle for the rights .of workingmen to organise; that ; the position taken by the railroad mana- ' gers is inimical to the rights ot workingmen and the public good, and should be .denounced, and expressing hearty ayra- §>athy with the striken, i Preliminary Btepe have been taken by : t h e various business men with a view to tjfclding public meetings of the Merchants ' Mechanics' Exchange and other organ Sx.LociS, March,13.—The officials of the Missouri Pacific railw ay "yards succeeded in making up-a freight train about noon yesterday without encountering any serious opposition from the strikers, and soon after it left Eighteenth street for the South. Five policemen were on the engine, and several others on the train. At Ewing avenue the engineer left his engine in response to* calls from the crowd, and a short distance farther on the fireman abandoned his post. At the company's shops Superintendent Kerrigan procured the services of another engineer and the train started again. At Compton avenue a fireman w,aa picked up, and the* tram proceeded on its way t o Kansas City. The police left the train four miles out and returned by passenger train. The crowds in the yards hooted and jeered at the train as it passed, but no interference was offered. Mr. Powrferly's signal failure to open negotiations with Receiver Brown of the Texas Pacific Railway Company is regarded ominously, and the failure of Colonel Hoxie to answer as yet the communication sent t o him Thursday by Martin Irons is looked upon as an indication that the strike will be prolonged. The failure of the Missouri Pacific managemerft Thursday in its attempt t o resume freight traffic confirms the belief of the striking Knights that the object of the strike will be accomplished. The company, how- -ever, has-advertised openly for new men, stating that the rate of wages will be the -same as duringthepastyear, andthatcompetent men will be employed without reference t o their past or present relations t o the company or their connection with any society or organization of any description. The Knights say that their relations with the members of the Brotherhoods of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen are such that the company can not persuade the latter t o run a single engine if they are requested not t o do so by the Knights.

BJLA DELPHI A, March 12.—Referring to strike on the Gould system, Grand ter Workman Powderly of the Knights r said last evening: inking that we (the General Executive of the Knights) might be instrumental effecting a settlement, the following' telem was sent out last night to John .C. wn, receiver of the Texas k Pacific railwill you meet with committee selected by iral Executive Board of the Knights of r to arbitrate for the settlement of dimities with the Texas & Pacific employes?" l a t e last night I received an answer destrain? any aid and stating that no good could 4»me from arbitrating with Knights of Labor.

NKW YORK, March 15.—Special telegrams t o Bradstreet'a from the more important business centess report the movement of general merchandise rather below than above previous totals. At St. Louis and southwest thereof business is a t a standstill, owing t o the continued interruption of traffic over the Gould Southwestern railwayu and the Texas <fe Pacific line. The number of strikes throughout the country has increased beyond all precedent, and the num ber of employes s o idle is reported a s 51,000 east of the Rocky mountains. In December, 1884, the total covering the same territory was about 18,000. Both the bituminous coal and the textile strikes outrank the Southwestern railway strike in point of numbers. ST. Louis, March IS.-—It is understood that Governor Marmaduke is attempting to open negotiations between the Missouri Pacific railway officials and the Executive Board of the Knights of Labor, but the results of his efforts are not known. It is believed, however, that after the Labor Commissioner has reported t o him some definite arrangement will be affected t o bring about a conference between the conflicting Knights and their former employers. Mr. Hoxie, general manager of the Missouri Pacific railway, emphatically denied yesterday that propositions of compromise or settlement of the difficulties had been made by either the company or the Knights ot Labor. Si. LOUIS, March 15.—The attempts of the Missouri Pacific road t o start o u t trains Saturday morning ended in failure, the engineers and firemen deserting the trains as soon as requested by the strikers. The first engine called out came steajnrng from the round-house, and had not gone far when the fireman, who was called off by the strikers, left his post, and the engineer brought his machine to a standstill. He wouldn't move without the assistance of the fireman, who would consent to do nothing unless it was to assist in getting the engine back into the round-house. The same engine with another crew was stopped at another point, and again the engine went back t o the round-house/ The engineer said -he could not proceed because the strikers interposed an objection, and so the plan t o move the freight was abandoned. No accommodation trains went out. Mo freight is moving at any point, and every thing is •dead in the surrounding yards. The, strikers are peaceful but determined, ami there is no prospect of a speedy settleineiit. Similar scones~were enacted at Sedalia and other points on Saturday, the strikers being successful in every case in persuading engineers and firemen t o abandon their engines. Not a freight train was run out from any point on the road.. Late Saturday afternoon the Missouri Pacific filed a petition for an injunction in the Stale Circuit Court against J. J. Mc- Garry and other strikers, and Judge Horner granted a temporary injunction restraining such persons from going on the raiTrbadVproperty or interfering with the employes. The object of this move on the part of the railroad company is to prevent the strikers from making personal appeals to or threats against the engineers and firemen in charge of engines. The engineers had a meeting yesterday, as did also the firemen, and they decided to live up to their agreement with the Missouri Pacific qoad as long us the company performed its part of the contract, but will not run their engines if intimidated by the strikers. The company will endeavor to give them protection, so that they will have no excuse for deserting their engines, as most of them did who started out with freight trains last week. The strikers at all stations on the road are to be enjoined from entering the property of the company or interfering with the running of trains, but whether this will have the effect expected by the company remains to be seen. The company claims that it has received several hundred applications for work, and that if the engineers and firemen live u p t o their agreement the road can be operated without the as- THE LAW VINDICATED.

H. Murphy, were discovered unconscious in their cell Friday morning, and physicians being summoned they declared the condemned men had been poisoned with powdered belladonna. All efforts t o arouse them from the fatal stupor proved futile, and at 12:40 o'clock they were borne t o the scaffold, seated on the trap, and carefully supported until the nooses were adjusted, when the trap was sprung, and the necks of both were broken by the fall The sheriff nad appealed t o the Governor, informing him of the condition of affairs, but toe latter ordered the execution of the men. In Ford's pocket was found a letter addressed to the Sisters of Mercy and all the writer's religious friends, stating that he took the poison in order t o spare his children the reproach of being the offspring of a hanged felon. Iu the same letter he left bis curses upon a number of persons who had been active iu opposing the commutation of his sentence t o imprisonment for life. ' The crime for which Ford and Murphy were banged is without a parallel in the history of New Orleans. The high position or the accused and those. aaBoclwfr** wi_th them; the boldpess and audacity of the priraeTlseTf, and the social, political and financial influences brought to bear to retard and divert Justice, made the trial a duel between the State on one hand and tho defendants on the other. The eentral figure in the tragedy was Judge Thomas I. Ford, late recorder of the city of New Orleans, and now serving oui a twenty-years' sentence in the penitentiary for the part be played in the murder. He was a shrewd politician and was recognised as the "boss" of the Fourth ward, and his influence was felt throughout the entire city.

The Cunard Steamer Oregon Sunk by a Collision with a Schooner off Fire Island —Her Crew and Passengers, Numbering Bight Hundred Persons, Saved—The Vessel and Csrgo Go to the Bottom—The Fate of the Schooner Unknown. NEW YORK, March 15.—The famous Cunard steamer Oregon, with 8 0 0 souls on board, was struck by the threemasted schooner Fannie A. Qorham at 3:45 Sunday morning, while proceeding under a iuil head-ol—steam, twenty-five miles southeast of Watch Hill, near Center Moriches, L. I. Three holes were stove in the Oregon's side, one almost twenty feet square and the others smaller in dimension. The vessels drifted apr.rt, and in the darkness-the people on board the Oregonheard the despairing cries of the crej^orfthe schooner aa she settled and sank. It is supposed all on board the were lost. Tho Oregon also began to fill and her engines soon ceased t o work, for her third compartment was open to the water. As a>y dawned pilot-boat No. 11 from this city * a s sighted, and signals of distress were immediately hoisted on the Oregon. The pilot-boat ran t o her assistance, and the schooner Elsie Graham was also attracted to the scene, It was broad daylight when they g o t alongside, and the work of transferring the passengers was immediately begun. This was n o t completed until 11:80 o'clock, Captairt Cottier, of the Oregon, being the last t o leavehls vessel. Not a life was lost nor a person injured, and stome of the mail, of which there were 800 bags, was saved and landed on the pilot boat. When this had been nearly all done the steamer Falda of the Bremen line hove in sight, joined the two rescuing vessels, and took ail the 800 people of the Oregon on board* The Cunard vessel was/ then drifting hopelessly about in the sea, / w i t h all , htr cargo and the /baggage of the paaseuge and ere* on board, when aud* at 1:80 yesterday aftornoon.jshe' went down head first with a grea>nt5tse, and the Fnlda then vroeeeded^o^kie-port. ranee. "Cap** Murjihv as he was-moro popularly known, alsoatoolltiotan, holding the position of superintendent of the public workhouse. He was a cousin or\ex-Cot)gres8man E. John Ellis, came of a good famllv and was a man of undaunted oourasre and conviction; The quarrel between these men dates back four years. Murphy was brought before Ford, charged with some violation of tne law and Ford denounced blm as a hoodlum city official. Murphy responded with a challenge which the judge declined. Murphy then posted him throughout the city as a coward, liar and' thief, and proclaimed It so of ten that the judge finally had him indicted for criminal libel. Murphy claimed up to the day of his death that he had iu his possession ample evidence to prove that Ford was a. thief and em bossier. He never had an opportunity to produce this, for on the very day of his trial on the criminal libel charge, be was murdered in oold blood. The murder was the boldest on record; done in broad day, in a populous section of the city, in the'very face or hundred* of lawabiding citizens, and the murderers walked away unknown, their smoking pistols still in hand. On the morning of the murder, December 1,1884, Captain Murphy was direction the labor of some fifty or sixty men at work cleaning the Claiborne canal. The "captain" was seated on the doorstep of a house at the corner of Claiborne and St. Ann streets with no thought of danger, when two man itfiptwd wronrwl the conyr. and, without a word of warning, opened fire on him., Murphy ran into the middle of the street, drew his revolver and returned the lire. Each of his assailants wore doubly armed, and, not beinir able to stand the fire from four revolvers, Captain Murphy turned and tied up the street and around the corner, followed by his assailants. At the corner be encountered two more men who had been stationed there to intercept him, and they onened fire also, Murnhy then continued down Claiborne street, his ^urTuerl moTlIT ing in numbers at every stride. When be turned IntoDuraatn street no less than half a dozen men were in hot chase, all firing as they ran, and the discharge or their firearms oreated consternation and wild alarm. On Duma! n street he was finally brought to the ground. Xiro of his assailants then walked up, turned the body over and-fired bullet after bullet Into it until life was extinct, and the body a horrible sight to behold. A large orowd of excited citizens had by this time oongrS' gated, but the Bmall army of murderers turned from their victim and disappeared as mysteriously as they had come. The deepest nular excitement was Aroused and intenslby the fact that the murderers were apparently unknown and never would be brought to justice. Indignation knew no bounds, however, whenthe law pounced upon Judge Ford, his brother, Pat Ford, his cousin, Officer John Murphy and Officers Buckley. CanfteldL Fayetto and Baoer, five offloera pf Judge Ford's court, as the murderers. It required all the influence of sober public opinion to prevail against the prisoners even after they were arrested, so strong was their pollticafinfluence. The district attornev was nominated by Judge Ford, and was bis dearest political friend. With, plenty of money for the defense, unlimited social and political backing, boldness and audacity, it was a.very hard matter to secure a courlction. The first trial was a complete farce from beginning to end. There were open bribery and defiant perjury. Five of Fords witnesses were indicted for perjury snd a deputy sheriff and two ot the jurors for bribery. This had a very salutar/ effect Fifteen arrests had now grown out of the crime. The evidence dearly demonstrated the guilt of the accused, but it seemed impossible to couvict them. The district attorney, though Judge Ford's dearest friend, never for a moment wavered in his duty, and, backed by. public opinion, finally triumphed is his prosecution. Tho second trial was be- fun, aud resulted in a verdict of guilty being ound. Fat Ford and John Murphy were sentenced to be banged, snd Judgo Ford, his clerk, Caul fled and Officer Buckley were each sent to the penitentiary at bard labor for a term of twenty years. The Fords now took the fight before the Board of Pardons and the Governor. Every means was resorted to, but In vain. A committee of one hundred whose duty it is to see the laws enforced, appeared in opposition to the Fords before the Board of Pardons, and made suob s logical and eloquent appeal against a nardon that their fate was settled. This was on November 9,1886, and the men were to be hanged on the 18th. when the news reached the prisoners they were dumfounded. "For God's sake give me time to pray for my sins," screamed Pat Ford in terror, when informed of bis fate and told to prepare for death. His agony was so Intense that a respite of thirty days was granted by the Governor. A new feature of the caso was made public as soon as the respite had been granted. Judge Ford then came forward, and, although during the first trial he proved an alibi, be now publicly stated-that he wag alone guilty of the murder of Captain Murphy, snd that his brother, Pat Ford, was innocent It seemed impossible to " Here this story s t first, but at last It tabtished as fact, but without the .result anticipated. The popular verdict was "It comes too lata; and as PatHftrd was among the party of a*»a»ti«srlw was equally £ " l u ^ ° C m u r t 8 r > ^ n d so the case rested.

MORRIS, 111., March 15.—A most horrible murder waa committed at Morris a t one o'clock Saturday morning on the Kansas City express, No. 5, which left Chicago at eleven o'clock Friday night. As the train was nearing Morris the baggageman, who waa in the second baggage-car, heard the door from the forward buggage-car open and found himself covered *ith a revolver, and was ordered not to stir and informed that another revolver was covering him. He then saw a hand with a revolver pointing toward him from the top of the car. The robbers then went through the express safe. When the train stopped it was found that the express agent, Nichols, in the other car, had been murdered. His body allowed that a desperate struggle had taken place. He had, indeed, sold his life dearly. Three bullet wounds were found, one passing from the right side o! his neck through, coming out near the ear on the left side. A second bullet struck him near the right collar-bone, and came oat on the left side of the breast, while a third passed through his left arm. He had evidently defended himself with his right arm by ruising it to shield himself from the blows that were aimed at his head, for the right hand was cut and bruised, while the wrist was broken. The wound, however, that caused the messenger's death waa dealt with an axe, which caused a cut five inches in length, extending from the ear to the top of the head. The sharp edge of the axe had penetrated deep into the head, laying the brain open and covering the hair with blood. In addition there were twezrtytfiix cuts on the face and head, some of which were delivered with the axe and some with the butt end of the revolvers; The men were evidently afraid to fire, except as a last resort, lest the noise might be heard outside the car. The fight must have lasted fifteen minutes at least, the messenger defending himself as beet he could against Buch odds. In the dead man's right hand was clutched a tuft ot hair, pulled from the head of his assailants. The hair is straight, about three inches in,-lehgth and of a light sandy c o l o j ^ T h i s wa& taken by the coroner and ned over to the detectives as a valuable and the only clue to the perpetrators of the outrage.

Conductor Wagner said: I left the coal chutes just below Joliet at 12:56 this morning and passed Ml nook a at 1:16: 1 am positive of this time, as I looked at my watch as we whistled ttoinv by. We got ' " "" As the train latrorm Into MorrlB at about 1:85. THE obsequies of Senator Miller, held in the capitol at Washington on the 18th, were attended by the greeident and Cabinet, the Diplomatic eor^s and the gupreme Court came to a stop I got out on the piairorm. About the same Instant Matt Jumped outoi' the baqgaifecar as white as a sheet and gasped out: "My God, my God, look in there. The safe Is all gone and the papers are all over the car." 1 looked in with my lantern, and the Bafe was stand tug open. The way bills were all scattered around and the drafts and other papers, some of them torn up, were all around on the noor. 1 took my key add went to the other car and called "Nlckl Nick!" but there was no answer. As I swung my lantern into the car a horrible sight was seen. There was blood scattered around everywhere. The local way-bills were all covered with blood, and the legs of tho chair were ,bloody. Jn the forward (part of the car -1 found the body of Nicholas. The face was covered with blood, and u great pool was underneath him. The body was atill warm. The car showed that there had beau a big light from nearly one end t» the other. On a hook hung a big poker, which was also covered with blood. The baggageman, N. H. Watt, who io about twenty-four years of age, told the following story in response to various questions: 1 was sitting In the car; the chains were up on the door whioh went back to the train, but' the door in the front part of the car was not locked, as the car ahead was the oneln which was the messenger. He was chocking up his runs. I sat on a trunk, and just after they - had whtstied for Minooka I heard a sort of a scraping sound on the floor, but not mucb-ju.st as though someone had rubbed bis foot on the floor. Before I could turn around a big gun waa poked over my shoulder, and a man said: "You open your mouth or move a muscle, and. I'll blow your brains out." 1 could only see the lower part of his face; It was covered with some cloth or paper. 1 sat looking toward the back part of the car toward the rear of the train, when I heard someone at the safe, which was behind me, and could hear the rusting and waring of papers. This wentfon for a while, and the man who stood over me said to me. '*if you move or stir hand or foot before toe train stops at Morr.s that man -up there will blow the top of your head off." I rolled ray eyes up and there was a man's hand stuck through the ventilator with a gun in it. In about five minutes, as it seemed to me, the train slowed up for Morris, and I looked up. The hand was gono, and I jumped out of the car. I heard no noise nor any shooting. The first I -heard was, as I said, the man speaking to me, and at the same time putting the gun over ray shoulder. They must have gotten into Nichols' car first and got the key tostbe safe before they came into miner ~_ o, March 15.—The United States xpress Company, by its' Chicago agent, states that the currency in the safe was about 121,500, besides a large quantity o! jewelry, value not known. What at present seems the most favored theory is that the act was committed by trainmen, in whole or in part. 5hey mechanically hung up the poker which they had used as a weapon. They went to the proper place to get the key to the safe, not disturbing the bunch of keys which remained in the pocket ol the deceased. His watch was not taken.

The train from Mentone was filled witli^^nglish visitors. A number of carriages were smashed and felt into the sea. Three passengers, an engineer and a guard were instantly killed. Twenty-six oft he p a s - sengers were injured, thirteen very dangerously. The collision happened on a sharp curve, which the two trains, both filled with passengers, tried to round at the same time on a single track. The trainswere badly telescoped and were thrown; from the track. TheNpoint where the collision occurred is situated on a cliff overlooking the sea, and about 125 teet above the beach. Two of fho raififlgog whjfh wraro t h r o w n f r o m t h e track and (ell down the cliff rolled a considerable distance in the shallow water at the base and imbedded themselves in t h e sand. Both these coaches were full of people, and the wonder is that all were not killed. The wounded have been conveyed1 to hotels at Monte Carlo. Many of the wounded are Americans and Englishmen. None ol the killod were of those nationalities. Every member of un> entire French family who were touring together had their legs broken. The uccident was due to the neglect of the train dispatchers at either end of tho track, whotailed to inquire whether the truck wasclear or not.

O e n u i n e B l o o d h o u n d s a n d T h e i r TJn&rflnff W o r k . ^^Vtynton, allow me to introduce my friend, E. O. Crauswell, who is the keeper of the dogs at Pratt Mines, Ala., and who has the only pack of genuine bloodhounds in the South.*1 The. speaker-waa L. W. Johns, the mining engineer. Mr. Crauswell advanced and extended his hand to your correspondent. He was heavily built, six feet eight inches tall, of florid complexion, and wore a wide brim slouch hat. His feet were encased in high topped hoots, in which his pants were stuffed. His coat was worn open in front, showing an immaculate shirt of snowy whiteness, on the . bosom of which, half hidden in the ruffles, glittered a large diamond. He had the appearance of a desperado, but he was genial and frank and an interesting talker, with a voice as soft as a woman's, and with actions as timid as a girl's. This is the man whose daily life is spent with a pack of bloodhounds, the fiercest animals raised South. " I was born in Pike County. Ala., lived with my parents < * there until I was twenty-one years of age. My father was a hunter, and always k e p t « pack of dogs for hunting deer and catching runaway negroes. When I was twelve years olet I remember being with my father in a race after a runaway negro. The negro had gotten away twelve miles the start, and We tracked him up a man's chimney. When I was sixteen I took charge of my father's negro dogs and followed them until the close of the war. I have always been foud-of J&&.sport of running foxes, and kept it up until four years ago, when I accepted the position of keeper of the* dogs at this place.1' sx In 1882 he came to this place and began to train bloodhounds. He brought to the mines live famous dogs that had been owned by his father, among which were Fannie and Bucker, the two famous man hunters of the South. The dogs are kept in a kennel in the stockade inclosure, and are nursed and fed by their master as tenderly as children. Their food consists of bread .and raw beef. The animals, when three months old, are put through a course of training. A trusty convict is started off on a run with the dog at his heels, and runs a short distance. A run of five minutes is taken, and it is' increased until the dog can trail well at a start of thirty hours on him. The dogs are not ^difficult to train; the only difficulty is "to keep them from changing tracks, which is, in dog parlance! to put a dog on_lhe_track of a man and his sticking to it without changing even if other tracks cross i t Fannie will never give her tongue to any other but the first track she took, even if one hundred {>ersons were to cross it. She will folow the track to its end, and, if she does not find the man, she will stop .and return home. When a convict csbapes* a -general alarm is sounded, and the dogs are ready. They are taken to the place where the escaped convict was last seen. Crauswell mounts his fast horse, and the dogs are let loose. Each d o g circles for a track and begins to hunt. Every one goes to work for the trail, like as many human detectives. When the trail is found the dog who discovers it makes a signal and every other animal follows,, Fannie and 'Bucker take the lead from any other dog. Crauswell and horse follow at full speed, and the longer the chase the more interesting it grow*. Mr. Crauswell was asked of some of his most remarkable hunts for escaped -convicts. John Wesley DuBqse was a white •convict, sentenced for a long term. sixteen hours old, and after he had token the train from Birmingham. When the trail was struck it was followed three miles, and DuBose, with his wife, was found in the woods. He left his wife, and ran on. The dogs fathered around him, and h e began* to re at them. When Crauswell came up DuBose swore he would not surrender, and would never be taken alive. He was shot at,, and in the exchange his arm was broken. He was captured and taken back to prison. The next break of prisoners from the mines was May 2, 1884, when DuBose again escaped, with Charles Williams, Jeff Garner and Ben Davis. DuBose did not go far; he discovered that the dogs were after him by their yells. He made a circle of two miles and returned to the prison. He gave himself up to the guard and said: "'There is no use trying to get away from those bloodhounds. I come back home." Ben Davis was run four miles and overtaken. The dogs began to circle for the trail of Charles Williams, which was soon secured, and he was run fifteen miles. He tried every way to get the dogs off his trail, and he crawled through railroad culverts, over dirt roads, went around the farm houses and through fields. He would run back in his tracks, take wide circles and circuit several times. He got in the center of Five Mile creek, and walked more than two miles in the water. The dogs followed the trail through the water and caught him. Crauswell called his dogs in and went back to the prison to take the track of Jeff Garner, who, when he discovered the dogs on his trail, made a circuit of five miles and returned to the prison. An interesting chase was had w h e n r f ^ V " " £ w r a m i e r s the outlaw, Renfroe, escaped-wlth m a a e ' t h 6 w r a P ? e . r a three others. Crauswejl^said; "At three o'clock a. m^l-was sent for to go to the shafta-^dlstance of over two miles. [Kreprisoners had gone three hoytrswhen I took the track, and they ad taken the railroad for Birmingham. The dogs followed the trail to the city, through the main streets until the track branched off on the Alabama and Great Southern railroad, on which they went south several miles, and then went to the mountains and divided. The dogs separated, which was an unusual thing to do. Mr. Justice Collins, the manager of convicts at the mines, took one pack of them, and Mr. J. G. Moore, the prison warden, took the other dogs. Moore caught his man after a seven-mile trail. Collins and I ran our man twenty hours before w e caught hini. We then returned to where we had divided on the mountain, and_the dogs soon caught the trail of the third man. He had twenty-six hours' start of us, and'we caught him. The dogs could never secure a track to Renfroe, and 1 do not believe he ever left Birmingham. It is very easy t o catch a man, even if he gets an eight-hou» start. It is a picnic for the dogs when he only gets from two to five hours' start, an< he had as well make a circle and come baok to the prison, for the dogs never fail." ' The longest trail this man and his man-hunters ever had was in March, 1884, when a negro escaped from the shaft prison. He had gone forty miles and had been away twenty-eight hours. The dogs had trouble to catch his scent after such a time. The negro took an astonishing run and went about ten miles through water. He was found at last on the top of an old house on the mountain4 near Warrior river. He was half starved when captured. . Crauswell was asked to speak of some of the characteristics of his dogs. "I am convinced," said he, "beyond the shadow of a doubt, that a bloodhound has more than one instinct. I believe that They think and reason like human beings. I know that Fannie and Bucker eta. The dogs are docile in camps and very vicious on a trail. Their sense follows the movements of men. There is no trouble to get them to take the track when they find i t '•After a convict is captured the dogs return satisfied, and as happy as if they had caught a rabbit. Wnen they return to the prison they become perfectly docile; when called out. again they grow very excited. The affection of the dogs for me is more like that of a child to its father than any thing else I can describe. I feed them myself and they have^reat confidence in me. I have five fine puppies, four months old, that have fur on them like sheep,which are now ready to track a man to Africa if he could travel there, and as for hiding a trail it is an impossibility. I am raising them for sale, and I guarantee them to find a trail thirty-six hours cold."—Nashville American. PERSONAL LITERARY; —During bis life-time John B.

A cigar-box banjo is something which most boys have heard of, and same have attempted, with more or loss success, to make; Possibly their older relatives have ridiculed the home made instrument, and it has had to contend against prejudice, which, as we know, is almost fatal to success. Nevertheless such a banjo, if carefully made and properly strung, can be made to give forth very musical tones, and ttihere the ,4real thing" can not be had the combination of cigar box ^nd broomstick makes a good substitute. If you would like to try yuur hands at it, I will tell you how to go to work. Procure a cigar box eight and a quarter inches long, four and three-quarter inches wide, and two and a quarter inches deep. This is tbe ordinary size of a box used to contain fifty cigars. The bottom of the box forms the head of - the banjo, thus allowing the cover to J» 'opened or shut. Ic -each end of the box cut two rdurid holes, three-quarter* of an innh in diameter, halt an inch from the~top~ and an equal distance from Fio. 1. the two sides of the box.

Miss Carrie Gilluly, of Brighton, daughter of the late Col. John Galluly, of the Ffth Michigan Volunteers, died Sunday evening; of quick consumption, aged 26 years. An exchange propounds tho following conundrum: "What is the difference between the eritranee to a barn and a loafer in' a printing office?" And the answer comes quickly and truly that one is a barn door and the other is a darn bore. W. D. Tompson has rented- his farm to Chas.

Auld received a Scotch paper Monday upon the outside of which was the following notice: P. 0., NBW YOKK. N. Y., MarclvfKHh, 1886. This piece is a portion of the mail forwarded from Quoenatown, Ireland, per steamer OBKGOH. It was damaged before being taken from that vesi sol which was sank off Fire Island on the 14th instant. HENRY O. PEARSON, Postmaster. N. Y. P. O. Print. He also received a paper from Aberdeen yesterday which had been only 10 days enroute. A newspaper is a help to any community where it is published. It gives support and should receive support especially from business men. Its columns are always open to be used for the interest of its own town and towns-people. It freely aids schools, churches, societies and all matters of local improvement. It is only a matter of self interest for people to patronize their local papers, not only when they seek-free advertiseaie but when they have job work to do as well.--Ex. Meach & Renwick's New Orleans Minstrels, of Brighton, as per previous announcement, visited this- place Thursday evening last, and people for a while listened to their old "gags," thin speeches and poor singing. Then some of the spectators suddenly remembered they had more important business elsewhere and quietly lett. Some of th e boys, however, did not intend to go away without getting their money's worth and greeted the performers with groans and hisses. This continued until a stump-speaker got through with his^^ffrWy^^wnerT some oae in the audience asked how much he would take to stop thete. He promptly answered: "Fifty cents.' He was infomed that his money was ready. Whereupon he announced that the people did not seem to be very well satisfied and it it was their desire the performance would stop. Numerous shouts of "quitf "quit!!" were heard aad=4he show stopped. Now, our own opinion of the affair is that it would have been better for the crowd to have left the performers to play to Vacant seats than to thus stop them in the midst of theif "rehearsal" (Great minds will differ, though.) Therefore, however much we may regret the termination ot the performance, we must emphatically state that the Brighton amateur minstrel show is a very slim affair. We supposed the members ot the troupe were gentlemen—and should yet—were it not for the fact that after we had been kind enough to lend them scenery for their entertainmerit they were not MEN enough to return it, or even take it down, but left it just where they used it, on the stage. Mr. Garrett Wood wa^r found dead in bed yesterday morning under the following circumstance. He boardwith the family of Jacob Bowers in the eastern part of the village, on the Howell road. When Mrs. Bowers called him to breakfast at about 6;30 o'clock she received no response; whereupon she tried the door, and finding it locked she informed her husband that there must be something wrong. Mr. Bowers then went round to his bedroom window and beheld Mr. Wood in his natural position of sleeping (a half-sitting posture) his eyes and mouth open and death stamped upon every feature. Friends were immediately notified and Justice Teeple empanieled a cororner's jury. After, examining the witnesses and listening to the report of the examining physician, Dr. Hoag, a verdict was rendered that years old and had been ailing for some time, although he was around town the day previous, ate a hearty supper and retired as usual, and nosounds were heard from him during: the night. He evidently passed from earth without a struggle, as there were no signs of contortions about the limbs or face. His bible lay open, with spectacles upon it, on the table, apparently where he had been reading it just before retiring, and no doubt he has gone to that blessed home of which this sacred book teaches, and the place where he had often remarked he wae ready and willing at any time to go. He wasthe father of Mrs, Geo- W. Brown, Funeral services will be held at the Congregational church at 10 A, H. tomorrow. Real Estate Transfers. Michael Board way to Jas.

Amid the ensuing excitement J o h n s o n secured a Winchester rifle and a large quantity of ammunition, and, m o u n t i n g a horse, s t a r t e d off. Constable Parker immediately*, organised a small party, alt arinod with revolvers a n d ou horseback, and g a v e chase, being joined from time t o time by othvnTalong the way. The party kept and finally, near J o h n s o n , twelve gaining o n t h e fugitive, the farm of Charles P. anile* s o u t h of town, a regular battleensued. The murderer turned and tired several s h o t s in rapid succession, Bhooting Peter Johnson, a brother of Charles, in t h e head, killing him instantly. He next shot Charles P. J o h n s o n fatally in the abdomen. Another shotkilled Constable Parker's horse. Then followed a fusillade, iu which spme of the horses a n d several of the men w*>re hit. All the while the pursuers, whose numbers had largely increased, continued firing their revolvers, b u t t h e desperado kept carefully o u t of range. I t is t h o u g h t , however, t h a t he wan wounded. At last the crowd succeeded in partially cloning iu a b o u t him, when he suddenly Jumped from his horse, and, running into Charles P. Johnson's largo barn near by, opened a lively fire through the cracks a n d openings, and held the entire crowd, n o w numbering fully 1 0 0 men, a t bay. The pursuers finally surrounded the burn and carefully guarded themselves from the fire of the barricaded desperado, b u t continued t o s h o o t into the barn a t frequent intervals until dark. It was then proposed t o burn him out, but no one would volunteer t o fire the building, a s it contained eighteen horses a n d mules, with a quantity of grain, and waff valued, with its contents, a t $5,50(0. It was then decided t o leave a s t r o n g guard around the barn and renew operations against it in the morning. During the night Sheriff Skinner arrived from Tekamuh with a posse of ten men armed with Winchester rincs and well stocked with ammunition. Early yesterday morn hig another assault w a s made on fortified desperado, the men postthemselves around t h e barn and tig o n a chance Hhot through a loopt o bring down their man. It was also determined a s a last resort t o tire the building, but s o well was it guarded t h a t no one dared approach it. All d a y Johnson held the party a t . bay, now s h o o t i n g t h r o u g h the cap of one, then knocking off the h a t of another, but without seriously injuring a n y one. Juat a t dusk fifty men, w h o had been brought from T e k a m a h on a special train, arrived a t the scene of the conflict. After a short conference the asHKuTtilTg paTty determined t o a^orm the barn and s e t it on fire, hut the a t t e m p t met with the s a m e result a s before, and the besiegers retired, with one of their number, Edgar Everett, a prominent farmer, shot through the lungs and dying. Several otherH were also wounded, but n o t severely. At eleven o'clock last night J o h n s o n was stilf master of t h e situation, Showing no signs of e x h a u s t i n g his ammunition or of capitulating, and the chances for his continuing t o hold o u t were good, there being plenty of supplies in the building t o keep him from starving. At midnight a bright light w a s viaible from Oakland in the direction of the barn, and i t is t h o u g h t t h a t the pursuing party h a s a t last succeeded in firing it.

N E W O B U C A N S , La., March 18,— Informat i o n 1B received oi a sickening tragedy in the court-house a t Carrolltou, Mis*. I t is impossible, owing t o the isolated character of t h e town, t o give hill particulars, but t h e following facte are gleaned from different point* within telegraphic reach: About a m o n t h a g o J a m e s M. Liddell, Jr., a y o u n g lawyer ol Carroll County, wa* shot and wounded by three negroes in ambush. The wounds were painful b u t n o t serious, and Liddell suffered only temporary inconvenience. The negroes were arrested, b u t made a counter charge a g a i n s t L.iddell, and both cases b a d been fixed for trial yesterday. A t t h e opening of court the negroes w$ro o n hand with their witnesses and a huiiiber of spectators. A b o u t o u e o'clock a party of forty or fifty whito men, armed with carbines a n d revolvers, rode up t o t h e court-house, dismounted, leisurely hitched their horses, and entered t h e court-room. Scarcely a n y w o r d s were spoken before the party opened fire o n the negroes, riddling them with bullets a n d s h o o t i n g them d o w n a s they a t t e m p t e d t o escape. In a n incredibly s h o r t space of time ten negroes had been killed and three mortally wounded, none of t h e negroes In the court-room escaping. H a v i n g finished their work the p a r t v withdrew, m o u n t e d t h e i r horses, and left t^hc town by the frame r o a d they came in on. Those a t t h e court-house, w h o witnessed the affair, claim n o t t o know the a t t a c k i n g party, and all s a y none of the men live near Carrollton. A l a t e r dispatch from W i n o n a throws a little more light on the assassination. A t t h e trial a b o u t twenty colored men were present. The fifty white men, well mounted and each carrying a Winchester, came ridi n g u p and surrounded t h e cOurt-houBe. They then fired into the building, instantly killing ten negroes and wounded three others s o t h a t they died s o o n after, and, with the exception of a few who escaped through a window, all the other negroes iu the building were wounded, some seriously. The trouble between Liddell a n d the negroes occurred three weeks a g o . Liddell had interfered in a row between t w o negroes, and afterward heard the crowd tursing him. H e walked u p t o them a n d Inquired why they were abusing him. An altercation ensued and a number of s h o t s were fired, Liddell being severely wounded. The peoplo of Carrollton charge t h e tragedy t o the unreasonable leniency of Governor L o w r y i n comtnutingdeathsentences. Some very i m p o r t a n t convictions of b o t h white and black murderers have taken place in t h e l o s t few years, but in nearly all, if n o t every instance, the executive power h a s been interposed t o s a v e the cqndemned from the g a l l o w s . The people have- wearied of this nnd h a v e in half a dozen cases lately done their o w n lynching t o s a v e coBts of court. This m a y n o t be a case in point, b u t is doubtless an o u t g r o w t h of this sentiment. •' Carrollton, where the tragedy occurred, is the capital t o w n of Carroll County, and in t h e interior a w a y from the railroad o r telegraph line, but o n the line of the proposed road from Greenville t o connect with the Georgia Pacific. I t is twenty-four miles s o u t h of Grenada and a b o u t eight miles west of Winona.

The United States Signal Service, a s outlined iu the following article, h a s become one of the m o s t Valuable a i d e t o the farmer, the merchant anfl the general puhlic. Insufficiency ol appropriations has, however, greatly crippled the effort* of the signal- Be r vice officers i n the past, and they have been uuable t o supply the necessary.signal Hags t o t h e various s t a t i o n s t h r o u g h o u t the country. Kills are now pending in Congress t o remedy this s t a t e of affairs, antl a s they will, in all probability, become laws in the near future a description of the signals adopted by the service will bo both timely a n d interesting. The first signal introduced \vns_a white Hag, s i x o r eight ftt»tr square, with a black center a b o u t t w o lect square. It is popularly known a s the- "Cold- W a v e F l a g , " and is displayed in advance ol the cold wave a n d lowered when the wave arrives. By the term "cold w a v e " is unders t o o d a sudden and deckled fall in temperature, a s when the temperature falls from fifteen t o . thirty degrees, or more, within a s h o r t occasions the arrival of in temperature h a s the interests of OOLO-WAVK K1-.A.Q NO. 1. No. 2. degrees, announcement of proaching" time. On m a n y these sudden changes proved very disastrous t o persons engaged in farming, nianufacturing a u d railroading*, a n d the. purpose in sending o u t the warnings is t h a t persons engaged in all industries liable t o be affected by cold weather or sudden clmnges in temperature m a y be enabled t o take the precautions necessary t o protect their interests, by being informed in ample time of the coming cold waves, which it is possible for the service t o predict with an a v e r a g e accuracy of from eighty-five t o one hundred per cent. When it is expected t h a t the temperature will fall suddenly fifteen t o thirty degrees, or more, in a n y section of the country, the cold-wave warning is immediately telegraphed t o selected s t a t i o n s from twenty-four t o .forty-eight hours in advance, a^ which the cold-wave Hags are immediately hoisted in order tha t the public m a y be fully informed. The information is a^- Bosent by telephone or telegraph, whenever practicable, t o all t o w n s ^ ^ . ^ . ^ - - aud railroad s t a t i o n s in > * * ^ the vicinity of the signal- [ f service s t a t i o n s displaying I I the signal. Cold-wavo V I signals will n o t be or- V ^ V ^ dered unless a tempera* ^•*"*^" ture of forty-five degrees, or less, is expected. When the temperature is expect> ed t o fail twenty degrees,' or more, iu any district, and n o t reach forty-five, coo! wave apwill be made, b u t n o signal will be di-jplayed. During the season of vegetation t h e cold-wave signal will be displayed only when the teinperature is expected t o fall t o a p o i n t indicating frost. Upon the » urgent demand of those interested in weather a n d temperature changes, the Chief Signal Service Officer h a s devised a set of six flags lor the purpose of converting the regular "indic a t i o n " of the service into signals. These flags are a b o u t six feet square and numbered from 1 to t>, a s illustrated in this article. No. 1 is a white flag with a l a r p ; red s u n •°in t h e center, and indicates "higher temperature," or warmer weather. STo. 2 is a white flag with'a red crescent in the center, and indicates "lower temperature," or colder weather. N o . 3 is a white flag with a red star in the center, a n d indicates "stationary temperature." N o . 4 is a white flag with h large blue sun in the center, and indicates "general r a m ( o r s n o w ) . " No. 5 is a white flag with blue crescent in center, and indicates "clear pv fair" weather. No. 6 is a white flag with blue Btar in t h e center/and indicates "local rain (orsnow).*" (During a calm, or when the wind is light, signals can n o t be readily distinguished, and flags arc then hung a s shown in c u t of signal No. G.). The weather indications are telegraphed daily t o a large number of the s t a t i o n s of the signal service, t o railroads, post-offices, etc., and m a n y small places could, by proper arrangement, obtain them by telephone or otherwise from the signal s t a t i o n s or postoffices receiving the reports and displaying the flags. P l a c e s n o t r e a c h e d t h r o u g h a n y of these mediums desiring t o display the signals are advised t o correspond with General W.B.Hasen,-Chief Signal-Service Officer of the United States, W a s h i n g t o n , D. C. ,in reference t o the subject, who, if possible, will take action t o furnish t h e i n d i c a t i o n s . In m a n y places large firms a n d corporations are displaying t h e signals, i n t r o d u c i n g them b y printing the signals and their moaning o n t h e back of their business cards, while many of t h e principal railroads of the country h a v e a d o p t e d the s y s t e m , disks made No. S. 0 f uteei o r \ t o n beings displayed from the b a g g a g e cars. There i s n o d o u b t t h a t t h e signal service has been productive of much g o o d , and a general introduction of i t s signals in rural t o w n s would prove of great value t o farmers a n d stock-raisers, t h e success of whose business often depends upon changes in weather or temperature, a n d a s many railroads are co-operating with the signal service in distributing t h e signals by tele-, graph no-town neo I be w i t h o a t them.

Why a Lady Customer Was Shown to the Corner Ctrooery Sana Ceremonie. • A verdant housewife, fresh from her rural home, came to the city to purchase various household necessities. She glanced timidly about her, and was evidently confused by the couut- 8PICV SCRAPS. less shops which took the place of the village accommodation store. There was a bucket-shop near by, with theusual sign over,.the,door: "Stocks, Grain and pil." > She read tne v$6rds arid entered the place. •'•I want to buy some oil," she said. The proprietor gave her a one-percent.- margm smile, and winked at the telegraph operator to get some Oil City quotations. "I—I—want to buy a great de^l." The bucket-shop in an wondered if his'* safe would hold all the margin money. " I can buy fifty thousand barrels for you, madam," he said. ^ 4,T don't want as much as that." " O r t e n thousand barrels n " I don't want as much as that." " Or even a thousand barrels. The. charges for carrying it will be " "Oh," she exclaimed.

NtW YORK, CHICAGO, Ulysiara was the name given by the ancient Greeks to the resting place of the righteous dea4, where they should enjoy eternal peace and happiness. None but the pare in heart, the truthiol and the generous ooukl tread the asphodel meadows ol the Elysian fieldB and it was a land of everlasting delight. When^ therefore, Mrs. Kate Sherman, of Btreator, 111^ said recently that she had been in Elysium, though of course she spoke figurativek/, it argued that some great good fortune and joy had oome to her. And such, indeed, was the truth. Mrs. Sherman tells how it was in tab way: "I have suffered from inflammatory rheumatism tor more than thirty years. Heretofore the pain would succumb to the application of hot wet flannel, but at my last attack circumstances had conspired to aggravate the disease, and I became helpless. My hands and feet were swollen enormously, -and I suffered almost mortal agony. My physician brought me a bottla of Athlophoroa. After taking the third dose I was in Elysium, and was free from pain. By the time I had taken a bottle and a half I felt so wonderfully improved that I discontinued the medicine. I have an ungovernable dislike to all medicine, but I will say that Athlophoroa probably saved my life, as I was running down rapidly, and could not have endured the pain much longer. It afforded me the only relief I ever experienced except from hot water, and that had failed me." The Rev. flamuel Porter, of Crete, 111., says ol the effect of Athlophoroa upon his wife: "Mrs. Porter waa very much benefited by the first bottle. Before she commenced taking it she could not walk, she was so badly afflicted with rheumatism, but she waB soon able to walk. She sleeps well. Mr. John Hews, our neighbor, was very badly, off with the rheumatism last winter, and was not able to work or even to get out of his room. One bottle of Athlophoros cured him, but he has to keep it by him to take when he feels his old difficulties." Another clergyman, the Revi'C. Hartley, of Huntley, ill., gives this as his experience with the remedy: " For six months I suffered severely from an attack of rheumatism. A friend sent me a notice of several reliable cures effected by Athlophoros. I procured the medicine, and less than one bottle completely cured me, and I have net luvd the least indication of a return of the painful disease. I have recommended it to others and results similar to those in my own case have followed. I regard Athlophoros as invaluable." A. M. Blakney, who lives at the corner of Union and Greeu streets, Decatur, 111., only confirms the general testimony to the value of Athlophoros when he says: "During the past winter 1 was stricken witJi a very severe attack of rheumatism— a disease with which I had been afflicted for several years—and was rendered almost helpless, and confined to my bed. I tried various medicines, and was prescribed for by physicians with no avail. Finally I was induced by my druggist to try Athlophoros. I waa relieved and cured so quickly that words could not tell my surprise. I do not hesitate in recommending it to any one euffering with that most painful complaint, rheumatism."

L NEWKiRK, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER Wnckuey, Mich., Thursday, Mmrch 86,1888 President Cleveland is 49 years old to-day, and Buffalo Democrats will celebrate the event. Mrs. Hancock will receive this week the sum of $10,000 from the Mutual benefit life insurauce company of Newark. Nearly 20 years ago, when the late general was at Fort Levenworth, he took out a policy for $10,000 in the company. It is said he was also insured in other . companies. Down iu East Pennsylvania, two ministers made public confessions of ,the use of tobacco. One of them Bmoked to eur.e the tooth ache, and the other used the weed for throat trouble. The congregation forgave them, aud now it is reported that . every minister within two hundred miles of the place either has toothache or throat trouble of some kind. Two boy a in Georgia recently got to quarreling over the trading of a marble and a piece of sugar, and as the scrap waxed warmer the mother ,.gf ope of the young hopefuls took a hand in the fracas, aud the whole thing has led too law-suit, which was settled in the superior court at Atlanta. If that had happened in Arkansaw it "would Have led te a feud whioh wouldn't have let up till both families and all their relations had been wiped out of existence. They think they have a man over in England now—a big duffer named Smith—who can "do up'" John L. Sullivan in the "rope arena1" Americans are naturally proud whenever they win a victory of this -kind, but , kelween you and I and the hitching pott, in consideration of our yachting •victory last season, it is to be hoped that an international prize-fight will be arranged, and Sullivan will get knocked Hgalley west," wherever that is. The Tribune congratulates all concerned on the raising of the Pingree & Smith boycott. Our laboring people need to be constantly employed under satisfactory conditions, and the city needs to have every bus- ' inesa element vvithiu its borders in vigorous and productive operation. There are now indications that within thirty days not a single disagreement between capital and labor will exist in Detroit, and that the city will take a longer step forward in 4886 than it has taken for a great many years. And this is certainly a consumation to which all elements can afford to cheerfully and enthuiastically contribute,—Detroit Tribune.

The school exhibition a t Smith's Hall Friday evening deserves more than a hasty notice. I t was given by schools No. Untaught by E. A. Kuhn, and No.45, by Miss Magarie McClear. The hall was filled to overflowing long before the hour had arrived. The pro* gram was quite lengthy but the crowd stayed through and kept the best of order, uncomfortable as many must have been. The stage was tastefully arranged, at the back a motto proclaimed it "Our first attempt,'' b when the business was fairly opened it put us in mind ol' hurses^wtfsee sometimes entered in " p ^ n races"—not so green as their look.

W. Lyon, Fred Weipert, Frajsk FOWLERVILLE SA^NGS. Krom the Kwlew. / It is truly remarkable to see the amount of old fpgyism that still remains among /people of even more than ordinary intelligence. There is a class of intelligent men that have traveled in one r a t all their lives and to thejtf tb« slightest deviation from the^oid way melius certain and sure ruin. A geod substantial farmer said pon the street this week that "the farmers should all club together and drive the creameries out of exustauce' and that "things had come to such a pass that they oven wanted to deprive the farmer the privilege ot making butter," It is certainly too bad to deprive the farmer's wile of the pleasant drudgery of battermaking and give her more money for the cream,than she could get for the butter alter she has spent several hours hard work upon it in a boiling summer day. Let us take a common sense view of the case. The creamery company claims lt^c&nnay as much or more—in cash— for the cr^aui than you can sell your butter for in trftde^at the store. We are~not,-neitl)cr are ydu^who have* not yet tried it, prepared to say^»*ktothe truth or falsity of their claiif What we do claim is that every farm er should be willing to give it a trial, especially as it does not cost one single cent to do so. If they substantiate their claim it is certainly a good thing for the farmers, if they do not perform what they claim all youh, t'o do is to go back to the^oiefway. The company shoujd^certainly be entitled to a fair-"u ial before their methods ar^rcondemned. In giving it a tijaJitie farmer is put to no trouble r expense. The company furnish the cans and sends a man to you door to gather the cream, leaving a cheek for the amount. The checks will be cashed monthly a t a rate that will be fixed before the cream is taken. Of course il after a trial the firmer finds it less profitable to sell his cream than to manufacture it into butter he can simply withdraw at anytime. Some may wonder how the company are to make anything out of it if they pay as much for the cream as the farmer can get for his butter. The answer is very simple. It is well known fact that there is a differanco in the price between dairy and creamery butter and in that difference lays the profit to the company. Since the above article was put in typo we find we were mistaken in the fact that it would cost nothing to try the experiment, as the Company changes two cents per week for the use of the can in which to raisethe cream. !• • *—I Ni« M ' o 2 0 SO H CD to J2 to •IS X* tPo B O P - to 8 O S4ti» h\r Baking Purpose*.

" ' H a r r y t h e M a i d " a n d " C h u r c h e r " M « e t T h e i r M a t c h . In February last year, I came to London for the day, on business which took me into the city. . Having accomplished the purpose of my visit more quickly than I expected, I was strolling leisurely along St. Paul's Churchyard, with* the view of working my way into the Strand. The time of day ** was something" after twelve at noon, aud of all t}ie busy stream of.people that flowed/ city ward or ebbed past me, it see^iied that I was the only loiterer. - ^A man, however, walking nearly as slowly as I, seeing me smoking as he passed, at last stopped and asked for/a light. I gave him a match. He 1'cyTl back a little out of the stream of / r a t h e into the shelter of a shop win- / dow corner to light his cigar in peace. / He was a short m a n about six and J thirty, with brown beard and whisk- / ers, face a trifle marked wi,th small- / po\T~wei1-dressed, of gentlemanly appearance and spoke with a strong (indeed, much too strong) American twang. As I continued my stroll, I soon became aware that I was followed by this gentleman. The slower I walked the slower he walked. It is not comfortable to be followed—so I pulled tip to let him pass. Instead of doing- so, he no sooner came up with me, than he pulled up, too. He set his head just a thought out of the perpendicular, and looking me full in the face, said: "Guess this is a tall city? Rather tangled to get about in, though? Now, it ain't like Phitadel- •phy, where our critters knew what they was going at before they begun to build, and ruled all the streets straight ahead in right lines. "No, sir." "No?1 ' I said curtlv, and was moving on. "No, sir," he continued, walking by my side, "and it1^ useless for a stranger i n j u r e city to give his mind to going anywhere, for he ain't likely to get \ there.

He rattleXj. on about the States being this and the States being that, so that it was needless for me to do any more talking than an oc easionaj interjection of surprise or isfaetloTT, each of which was^ackrri edged with a "Yes, s i r , ^ or a / ^ N o \ \ «ir," completely final.

"Wal,1 1 he said, chewing his cigar so that it assumed a rotary motion, and its point described a circle over his face. "Wal, sir, it's a custom we hev in our country, and we think it rather scaly manners to refuse. Reckon you Britishers do not think it scaly to slight a friend's hospitality in the street. We Aw he persisted in regarding my refusal almost in the light of a personal insult, and would not listen to any explanation that we do not regard the declining of " d r i n k s " in. a similar light in our own country, I yielded the point. We retraced our steps a short distance and entered a wine store, on the city side of Temple Bar, a very respectable place where wines are drawn1 from the wood. Small round marble tables and light chairs are dispersed about the shop for the convenience of customers. Here my companion compounded a drink of soda water and gin and lemon and ginger, of which he wished me to partake. -I declined the mixture and took a glass of sherry; We might have sat five minutes, when a tall and important looking personage lounged into the wine-shop. As he entered he cast a supercilious look upon all the occupants of the tables; then, raising his head, he removed his cigar and emitted a long column of smoke from his lips as a contemptuous verdict of lofty disapproval on the society he had joined. He was well dressed—irreproachably, so far as the quality and cut of his clothes were concerned; but thev seemed to assert that conscious independence of their wearer that new clothes will assert over a person whohas-been- tip all night. His black hair and small mustache Were scrupulously well arranged, but his eyes blinked in the daylight, seemingly for want of a night1s rest. He sauntered up to our table and enutted another superior column of sm^ke over our heads. " K n o w this swell?" my Yankee friend whispered ; I shook my head. " T h o u g h t he might be a member of yure Congress, or a tailor\s advertisement, or some other n o b . " . There, was a spare chair at our table, and the person thus irreverently alluded to, after some time spent in mentally estimating the relative merits of the other vacant chairs, appeared to prevail on himself to take it and sit down. " S p r e e , last night," he condescended to say, presently. " C h a m p a g n e supper and things till all was blue. " V e r y pretty tipple," said my American friend. " Ya-as. Then coming home with some fellahs we saw a Hansom waiting outside a doctor's door, and we chained the man's cab to an iron post." " M a n cuss m u c h ? " " By Jove, ya'as.

" N o ; \pon m1 word, you know— you'll allow me. Waiter, a bottle of champagne!" "Wal, reckon I'm not particular, so as we du liquor. (Original Champagne Charlie,") the American whispered to me. The swell put his hand in his breast pocket and carelessly drew out a roll of notes, one of which ho changed to pay for the champagne. My American friend nudged me'and raised his eyebrows. "You1!! excuse me, stranger," he said, "but if I was in yure place I would take care of those notes and not keep 'em in a breast pocket, n6r yet flash 'em about." " O h , " said the swell, " I always oarry them s o . " "Then may be you don't live in London, sir?" "Oh, bay Jove, no.

"Aw,"said the swell,before ho opened it. "bay jovc, I'll bet you a new hat you haven't got fivo pund in your purse." "Done with yeu!" said my esteemed friend. And on exhibiting his purse, he showed nearly thirty sovereigns as well as I could judge. "Aw, then'Tvo lost, and I owe you a hat. Aw, here is my card." Ho handed it to us both. Frederick Church, Esquire. I was impressed with the notion that the faces olDoth these men were somehow familiar to me. - The American nudged me again and bestowed upon mo an encouraging wink. ' 'Reckon now yeu won't bet my friend here he hasn't got five sovereigns about him?" He nudged me again. "Ya'as, I will," said Mr. Church, languidly. "I often do it for a lark. I am generally about right twice out of three times. I said that I didn't b e t •*Aw, well, some people don't. I wouldn't persuade anybody 1m sure. Sure to lbse in the long run. Bay Jove, I know I do. But just for the sport of the thing, got live pund about you? Your friend shall be a witness. It's all right you know, among geuUemen." 1 produced my purse. It contained about seven pounds in gold and silver. I also had about me a gold watch and chain, a ring or two, and a shirt pin! I observed just the faintest sign of an interchange of intelligence between my companions. "Ah, lost again," Mr. Church remarked; "well, can't be helped! Another bottle of champagne." This bottle my American friend insisted upon "paying for. I drank very little. 4 'Really, you k n o w , " Mi\ Church remarked over the new bottle, "most singular thing—aw—three fellahs, perfect strangers, should meet like this— and all of us strange to London. Bay Jove. You're from the North (I had told them so, which was true). I ' m from the East, and our friend and American brother, aw, if I may call him so, is from the West. Tell you what. As soon as ever the lawyers have done up my business, you shall both comedown to my place in Essex and see me. Jolly good welcome and deuced good shooting. You shoot? 'course?" turning to my American friend. "Sheute? Wal, a small piece. I was "Lieutenant-"in General Sherman1 s army for three yeeres, and very pretty sheutin* we had. Concleude yeu mean ritie sheutin'?" "Oh, no; shooting g a m e , " Mr. Church explained. "Yen don't du rifle sheutin1, then?" "Bay Jove, no. I only shoot pheasants and partridges and all that sort of thing." . "Reckon yu're a haps?" "No, nothing uncommon. "Wal, y how many times eleude you'd hit the bull's twenty with a rifle?" "Oh, aw. I suppose sixteen," said Mr. Church. "Bet yeu ten dollars yeu don't hit it fourteen." " D o n e . " "Very good, sir. My friend here shall be umpire." This was I. "Oh, no; hang it! He's a friend of yours—that's not fair. Have the landlord." This Mr. Church. The American explained that the landlord could not leave his business, and that I was only an acquaintance of half an hour, and could not be prejudiced either way. So, with some apparent reluctance, Mr. Church consented. The next thing was, where should we go "to sheute oft' the aft'air," as my American friend put it. "I know there's a place, Westminster way," he said. "1 know there is, 'cause the volunteers sheute there." I told him no; the volunteers did not shoot at Westminster, but only paraded. / ,4I mean a g a ^ e r y , " he said. "I know I had a sheute there with one or tew volunteers hist week; but I couldn't find the place again." "Call a cab," suggested Church. "CabbyCU be sure to k n o w .

I saw a strong room or cell, seven feet square, as near as I eouM judge—nothing but bare brick walls, no window (it was lighted for the moment from the passage), and deep sawdust on the floor. Both the men were beside the door, standing half in light half in shadow. "Harrv the Maid, and Churcher," I said, " I know you both. It won't do, and you have lost some valuable time!"

The latest and most elaborate production in the w a y of a thin map&rlal is point lace into the web of wktch brilliants are woven. So^-far this cefsily fabric has only bej^flTused for fans. VapWfemmed plaitings, ruohings flat foIcU of crape and other soft 'materials continue to be quite a craze. They are a very pretty and suitable adjunct to a dressy toilet, but look quite out of place when worn with plain m o r n i n g costume. A late innovation is a corset on the tapis which should be tested with an eye to health, which should always be the s y n o n y m of style. T h e strong point of comfort in these corsets is a section just above the hip spring rendered elastic by a cord of fine boullionlike brass wire, stitched i n smoothly and firmly, whioh expands or contracts with the swaying of the body. Head neoklaces are quite a furor. The n e w e s t style- consists of five r o w s of imitation pearls, white, black or pink, which are worn tight around the throat, and are tied at the back by a velvet ribbon of the s a m e shade, whicLi falls carelessly in l o n g loops. Sometimes the rows of beads are sewed o n to a baud of volvet. When this is t h e case the velvet must always be of the s a m e shade, n o t of a contrasting color.

N e w a u d B e c o m i n g Styl.es f o r Y o u n g L a - d i e s a n d M a t r o n s . The latest and most elaborate production in the way of a thin material is point lace into the web of which brilliants are woven. So far this costly fabric has only been used for covering fans. Pearl-hemmed plaitings, ruchinga anil flat folds of crape and other soft materials continue to be quite a craze. They are a very pretty and suitable adjunct to a dressy toilet, but look quite out of place when worn with plain morning costume. A late innovation is a corset on the tapis which should be tested with an eye to health, which should always be the synonym of style. The strong point of comfort in these corsets is a section just above the hip spring rendered elastic by a cord of tine boullionlike brass wire, stitched in smoothly and iirmly, which expands or contracts with the swaying of.the body. Head necklaces are quite a furor. The newest style consists of five rows of imitation pearls, white, black or pink, which are worn tight around the throat, and are tied at the-back by a ' velvet ribbon of tho same shade, wh'icli falls carelessly in long loops. Sometimes the rows of beads are sewed on to a band of velvet. When this is the case the velvet must always be of the same shade, not of a contrasting colo?. Gray, turquoise blue, pale yellow, light green and lilac beads are used in a similar way. A very now and becoming style of bodice for young ladies fits like'a jersey, being plain at the back and fastened down the middle with a close row of very small button?. In front it is arranged in a sories of very narrow stitched plaits, coming down from the neck to the waist. This style of bodice should taftJongjgalatedUt w worn w%h a deep sash tied at the side in twol i \ loops and lapels. The skirtjjray be either quite plain or slighjjyctraped up on one side. _-_ The tulle striyes^covered with stalkless flowers^sewn on as thickly as possible w^Haeserve their name of flower and are quite a success. They lire worn round the top of low bodices or serve as scarf-like trimmings, going from the shoulder, across the bodice and ending in the skirt drapery. They are jfAno ttaed for going above the bottom )ii«M rtuind the skirt, and thus halfay the light drapery.

T%e steel rail mAnufacturvr* hare held a convention and decided to try the experiment of a pool ia order to _ etake their butine i more profitable. * Tbey have assumed that the demand tor tKe coming year will amount to 776,000 tons, and have allowed a committee to parcel out tbU assumed demand among the fourteen rail-making firms now in operation. While there .was some general d scussion at the convention relative to prices, the general opinion being that ra Is could not bo made at a protit f >r less than thirty dollars a ton, it does not appear yet Otat any particular price waa agreed •port. As the meeting was held w th Voaed doors, and there are yet four months before the agreement goes into- VICINITY NEWS. \ > •peration, it may prove that a price was fixed which will be promulgated4n~ Mod time, however. T Tk re is one feature of the steel busiaess which the rail men do not seem to have given as much consideration as its importance deserved. All their plans, both with regard to production and nrice* for the future, were based upon tails alone. There is already a steel sail plant far exceeding the present possible or future probable demand for rails. But there is a constantly growing demand for steel in the form of plates, sheets, wire, bars and nals. and the constant tendency i* to the use of steel in many forms in which iron %u heretofore been used exclusively. In view of these Very obvious facts Hie rait men might profi ably, devote a portion of their plant to the production of those forms of steeLin_«iiiQij the demand is sure to increase. The indications are that railway building wJli not for a good many years to come develop into a boom like that of 1880, for the simple reason that the railway mileage of the country is already more than *<fual to the demands of business. To persistently cling to one form of steel manufacture, and form pools anl make prices with a view to that form alone, does not striko the outsile looker-on as giving evidence of the highest form of business sagacity.

Louis, Mo., April a.—Nor?e of tha striking employes of tho Missouri Pacific returned t o work yesterday, and no word was sent out by Chairman Irons which would give effect t o hi« order of resumption of la*t night by fixing an hour a t which such resuireptio.n should take place. Oa tho contrary, a serious hitch exists between the executive committee und tho railroad ,ofl1cials regarding tho terms on which tho Knights are to be taken back, und from present appearances tho strike is us far from settlement as ever. Under instructions from the executive board of districts 101, l>3 and 17, a committee from local assembly No. 3,050 waited upon Master Mechanic Bartlett Wednesday evening a t the Missouri Pacific shopH and tendered hiin the services of the old shop employes, Tho men, they said, were ready t<> go to work in the morning, and they desired to find out if thuy wuuld all be taken back. A list of lifty-two names was handed t o Mr. Bartlett, who, after seanning it, checked 6(f seventeen of them us the names of the men whom he would employ. Tho others, lie said, could not be taken back. Attempts of a similar nature were made by com nut-tees" of the strikers a t pro,mine«rtrpoints all over the G o u l d ^ - ^ y s t e m . In every instance, . t h e ^ w t e c u t i v e board claims, the conjitttftees received the same reply t o thetroffers. The railroad officials s t a j j e d x h a t they did not require the ervices of all their old employes, and would use their own discretion in selecting the men they wanted. The ratio of the men t h a t the roads would be willing to take back to the number who are on strike was seventeen out of fifty, or thereabouts. Reports ol -t^KH&tHftmitt-eea, received by. telegraph, determined the executive board to issue an address to the public and to continue the strike until the roads consent to taks back all the strikers. The address is as follows: ST. LOUIS, April 1.-To Vie Public: As showing the iusincerity of the railroad managers in their treatment of the Kuiuhts of Labor, we respectfully state that pursuant to tho order of our (Jenerul Executive Board, we th s day sent a committee to the managers ot the several railroads affertug to return • the men to work, and in no instance would they be received or treated with, each official in turn either rottrshiK them a hearing1 or evading them, with specious subterfuges for direct answers, or refusing them employment Mr. Hoxie hns agreed to receive a oominitteo of employes to adjust any gr.evances which may exist He refuses personally, and through his subordinates, to recognize any of us as employes, and refuses to receive any but such as he calls employes. In short, after himself and Mr. Gould have conveyed tho impression to the world that they are willing to settle, thev refuse to settle. Now we appeal to a candid and suffering public, on whom if falling all the weight of this great conflict, if we have not been deceived enough/ How much is long-suffering labor to bear? This great Btrike never would have been, had .Mr. Hoxio condescended months ago to hear our complaints. Wo don't a aim to -he more than human. It t>hoold not^-be" exyeelod of us to bo more tjuwr human. In this country posittou--makes no man king or slave, aud imperious refusal on the part of one citlztyu-toc'onferwith other citizens with whonv^De may hnvo bu-iness connections, wheffsuch refusal begets great business and^ocial revolution, is not only a niistake^but a crime against tho public. Mr. a is Invoking the law against ilttie crimi- 'huis who are made desperate by his policy of dupilcty and oppression, and yet a terrorized public does not invoke tho law against the arch criminal of the land. If we can hot b« allowed to return to work, the strrketnust go on. (Signed) BY ORDER OK EXECUTIVE BOARD D. A. 101, » AND 17. EAST ST. LOUIS, April 2,—A numbei of business men nnd representatives ot the r a i l r o a d s ' met Governor Oglcabj in the parlor of the Martell Hotel yesterday and gave their views on the situation. The coal-dealers had a grievance more important than the railroads. St. Louis depended on the transport a t i o n of coal from the IHinois fields. No preparation had been made for a ooal famine. The bins in St. Louis factories and hotels were too small for large storage. The consequence was t h a t industries bad to Bhut down for want of fuel, and prices for domestic purposes were doubled by dealers. • Manager Taussig, of the Bridge and Tunnel Company, said he represented a corporation luindling_seyeju.teen roads runnine into St. Louis. He was paralyzed. They had placed an embargo on coal so t h a t it was with "difficulty he could, fire his passenger engine. He employed six hundred men, who went out without a grievance. Wages hady^bcen increased within two weeks. They, all wanted to work, 'but were coerc^dlj, striking by their Jeliow-Knights. A reign of terror prevailed. Men were afraid to go back, fearing the hoodlum element would take revenge. The bettyr class pi Knights were in favor of peace and quiei, but these were in the minority. The Governor replied t h a t while he knew t h a t the authorities of E a s t St. Louis were unable to cope with the situation, the county of St. Clai*/ was large and populous, and , the powers of the sheriff were very great. These had not been exhausted, and until they were he could not, / u n d e r the law", ^esXl on the military/for aid. He great! gretted the situation of affairs; buJUttd n o t feel authorized t o take^imSreJortTble measures a t present. JlfhmyeverT he should be actually ODUged^o^Dring soldiers here, they yottldcoThe for active service and resolute^work. There would be no nonsense^ or child's play a b o u t it. During the morning Governor Oglesby weiit to tho relay depot, and, mounting the platform, cautioned the strikers against any acts of violence and intimidation. H e . then iii"ited them t o meet him at Turner Hall, where, a t a b o u t two o'clock, he made them formal speech. In this he jeoVered the same ground a s in h i s j t a i k w i t h the merchants, and in conclusion urged the strikers to eonducjt^tnemselves so peaceably as not to^iveoccasion for the presence of a railijarfforte.

FOUT WORTH, TOX., April 5 . - T h o 'first tragedy to result "from the striko on the Texas *fc Pacific orxurred S a t urday afternoon, when a group of strikers, lying in ambush a short distance Mouth of the city, fired on a portion of the sheriff's posse, fatally wounding Officers Townsemi aud Snead aud sending a bullet through the thighs of P o - liceman Fullord. One of the strikers, Frank Pierce, a switchman, was killed, a m i TomNeece, another, was shot in the groin. Two other strikers are believed to h a v e been wounded.

A t t h e crossing a mile and.a half from town a switch was found open and the train halted. T h e officers approached the switch and discovered about twenty of the strikers lying in ambush, with their Winchester rifles aimed, ready to shoot. Firing was opened by both hides almost simultaneously, and after about-fifty shot* had been lired the officers- retreated to the train , and returneti with their wounded comrades to the city. The tragedy occasioned terrible excitement throughout the city tyid Sheriff Maddox a t once armed two companies of citizens with carbines and stationed them a t the depot to be ready for future emergencies. The mayor issued a proclamation appointing seventy-five special policemen, and telegrams were sent to Governor Ireland urging him to hurry on. a regiment of militia a t once. He immediately ordered out the troops. T h e troops here now number 235 men. Adjutant- General King, IJrigudier-General A. S. Koberts, Attorney-General Templeton, Inspector- General P. Smyth aud Colonel W. I \ Gaines are on the ground. The statement is made t h a t the strikers have determined t h a t F o r t Worth shall be the point where trains shall be stopped a t all hazards, and that there they will win or lose their battle. On the other band, it is said the citizens declare t h a t the Missouri Pacific trains shall move, even though it costs scores of lives to accomplish it. ST. LOUIS, April 5.—Secretary Turner nnd William II. Bailey, of the general executive committee of the Knights of Labor, arrived from Cincinnati S a t u r d a y morning, and after a long conference with the joint committee of the district assemblies went to the office of H. M. Hoxie, vice-president of the Missouri Pacific. Their Interview was of short duration a n d was very unsatisfactory. Secretary Ti ner told the st^ory iu the followh view: I "We called on Mr. Hoxie'Saturday afternoon. Mr. Hoxie was-very cool. He did not ask us to be^seated. 1 begas by asking him if tbe^stntement was true that he hac refused-to take back any of the strikers. He said no; that he would consider personal applications, but use his own pleasure entirely on acting. He went on to say that he now needed about fifty per cent, of the number of men who struck, b u t was careful not to say that ho would not employ from the body of strikers. I said that Air. Gould bad given us to understand that all except those who actually committed acV* of violence would be taken back. H e s a i d t h a t n e i t h e r t h o . s e who committed such acts nor those who advised them, would be accepted. Ho continued t h a t the road nad too m a n y employes before and, preferred cutting down the force to cutting down, the hours. At this time Mr. Bajley interrupted him by saying t h a t that was probably the reason why the company forced the strike to cut down the number of employes. Mr. Hoxie said he could take it t h a t way ii he wanted, and asked me about t h e trouLle at Fort Worth. I told him I very deeply deplored it. Mr. Hoxie then went on to say that no grievences whatever had been presented. I reminded him of those presented last September,and ho said: 'Oh! Don't rake up ancient history.' I said t h a t it might be ancient history, but t h a t the grievances, while they had lain dormant, still existed. That was the inter-- view. It closed by telling him we would consult with Mr. Hayes. We Rtood there some time and were not asked back." Mr. Hayes, the third member of the general executive committee, Knights of Labor, arrived here last night, giving thecommittee a quorum. Shortly after JIayes arrived the general comiTnkfcetf'went into secret session with tho•Iptra'fcamrnittees and gave the sitnajMrtfa very full a n d exhaustive di8CU8si0*r*"*"T he meeting lasted the committee gave t to the public.

H o w I t s Children Enjoyed Then> selves F l a y i n g "Wake^" " It is called Pj&arTalley, though no :sign-boar<Lspells the name to questionin^^ traiigcrs, and the residents of the -thoroughfare' are not of a sort to moralize upon the origin of a name or the inappropriate^ess of its character. Pearl alloy it is to them as a means of designation, and when you see it you will say as well Pearl" alley as any thing else, for no name, however descriptive of all that is filthy, miserable and poor, can adequately express- its dirt, squalor >ind poverty. It runs out of Washington street when •Washington street gets down below Rcetor, and utterly loses its respectability in its efforts to stand up against the stench of the soap factories. At the point where-tlw last vestige of respectability disappears and the strength of the stench has reached its climax there Pearr alley begins, and, to preserve alike the ebb of decency and the tlood of smell, it runs vertically through one short block and ends abruptly against a neighboring street that might offer a slight gain of the one and loss of the other. The alley has at least one thing in •common with the precious jewels whose name it wears. Like theni.it is rare. Even among the slums of a great ci like New York there are not maay'iester spots so rank and poisowtfus.as its short length aflbrds^Tktffevv wretched tenements thatp^rtfme its narrow way are for thp^rftost part deserted sheds, with jfcirfec or four tall, crazy buildwhoso dark halls and rickety '••tairs resound with the sluggish steps 4MM? brutish noise of the tenants of its N^JOUI and crowded rooms. The sun oaever shines in Pearl alley. The houses Jean oyer so close that the little stretch •offlftgeet between them becomes aJbkek ]>tarved child, weak and puny, and the thread to old Sol in the heavens .and Quite ont of reach of his strpcrJ*-focus in the BK»»entary pause he-makes directl y overhead. ^ ^"' A eo^MHfijijMrtTiings never happen in PcAn filler: Then; is never 'any beginfnng-' or end to the day there. No -ihrifty mechanic or honest artisan ever leaves in the early morning with Ins dinner pail on his arm, and his cheerful content at the prospect of winning bread for the children clustering in the doorway behind him, nor comes trudging home at night hungry and ready for the rest which follows faithful toil. And through the daylight hours there is no sound ofT woman s tidy care of home, no washing and scrubbing, no brewing and baking, no cheerful neighbor gossip—no token that in many •other poor and crowded quarters of the city betrays that social life, albeit of tho lowest stratum, is still extant^- Hucksters do not cry their wares there, organ grinders pass it scornfully by; even a starved dog skulks swiftly, as* if he knew there was no stray bono there for hirn! * But Pearl alloy has its oifcizens and its happenings, A race of beings sifted through the various stages of misery and degradation which make up the lives of the city's outcast fall at last beyond further sorting into Pearl alley. Thieves, rogues and dissolute women, whose orgies and debauches hare finally unfitted them for even their miserable callings, como at last to Pearl alley to swine together in brutish, besotted misery. They live on crusts and bones from tho garbage pail; they are clothed in rags from, the ash heaps, and their sole aim.and object of existenoo is to steal or beg tho few pennies necessary •for the got of beer or dram of whisky^ from the shabbysaloon on tho corner. And Pearl alley ha* another class of citizens, smaller, thank God, but infinitely more unfortunate than even the wrecks just described. It has, alas, its children! These are creatures small in stature and few in years, who crawl about over the slimy stones and through the damp cellars of Pearl alley, who have in them a/touch of the glory of childhood which the iron weight of their dreadful existence has not been able to crush out Hungry, weary and cold; dirty, ragged and sore; kicked, beaten and sworn at; themselves wicked and depraved beyond belief—they are children still! You will see a Pearl alley boy rescue a cabbage stalk from the gutter, tie a string to it, and drag it in triumph behind h>m for a cart, and you will see his sister hugging tojier breast with a look of ineffable fondness her doll—an old bottle, about which a bit of filthy rag is carefully folded. But the favorite pastime of these miserable little waifs is to play "wake." A wake is the most common event of the community. You can not live very successfully in Pearl alley, but it is very easy to die there. It is a short cut from that point to the Potter's Field, a very short and rapid journey attended with little ceremony; a flutter of black bedraggled cloth on the doqr, a drunken wake, and the dead wagon. And the wakes are so numerous and really so cheerful compared with life generally in Pearl alley, it is little wonder the children like to perpetuate the festivity in their play. Patsy Flynn liked it best of all the games, ehjefly because he invariably played the corpse, and it was easy and pleasant to lie quite still, with his hands folded, while the other boys marched and shouted and, jumped about him. , Patsy was not very strong, children somehow did not thrive in Pearl alley, and he liked to be quiet. Patsy lived alone with his grandmother. There had been a mother once, of course, and Patsy remembered her well, too. Occasionally now his frame trembled as -if ho still felt the weight of her lieavy hand, which, guided in drunken fury, had so often rained blows of crushing force upon him, and once in awhile it seemed as if he heard her loud, coarse voice showering oaths and imprecations after him as he fled from her terrible presence. But he did n*t, for it was quite two years since tiie night she and the man who occasionally came to their wretched home quarreled so fiercely, and when the brief bitter fight was over the woman lay dead on the tloorand the man staggered sullen and muttering from th place. He never came again, and the wake which followed was another thing Patsy remembered well. Since then he and his grandmother had shared together, unmolested, the gloomy cellar room which was what he called home. "Big Granny/1 as this ancestral relative of his was. called, was at once the pride and terror of the alley. She was old, nobody knew how old, but so old that had she walked she would have tottered with the weight oi .years; inasmuch, however, as she always staggered from the burden of liquor she was carrying, the infirmity of age was unnoticed. Her hair was white thin, and straggled in negle£fcrtT disorder away from her tempir*sTthe longer locks twisted injk-wispy coil in the nape of her n p k r Stunmer and winter shevyjwrfunbonneted, her one outer gapawmt a cotten wrapper that hung in iftpeless drapery about her tall, lean figure. Her face was seamed and brown and whithered like tho skin of a baked apple, and on her long throat, which the loose fit of her dress bared to the collar bone, the wrinkled flesh hung in flabby folds. There was no voice in the alley more shrill and piercing than hers, no speech more foul, and no ribaTd.wit so quick and scathing as that which fell from her toothless" lips. A. Cjurious pair they were, the pale, gaunt, weather-beaten woman, but in their way they got on. Big Granny did notbeat^PatsyT She let him alone," and in return his was the one Voice of all the children in the alley which was still when the old woman shuffled and s gered through the street forjjef^daily portion of stimulant. Hoofs and jeers, scoffs and howls ike' other urchins hurled at hpr-and after her as she walked, but' Patsy never joined this juyenile mob. He did not take up cudgels in her defense; that would have been useless; he simply responded to an intangible sense of family obligation which he felt without recognizing and refrained from offensive measures. And Big Granny in her sober moments felt so much affection for the boy as her capabilities permitted and in her drunken moments never abused him. So, as has been said, they got on. Ingeneral, that is. On one particular morning, a rWTcTampday of recent date, there was not the usual entente cordiale between them. Big Granny felt the east wind in her old bones doubtless, and was averse to tho tramp outside for beer. She bade Patsy go to the corner for her, which the child, cowering over the few coals in the stove, refused to do. This aroused the always alert wrath of tho old woman, and she poured forth a volley of Billingsgate and vituperation frightful to hear, but which seemed to fall upon deaf ears, so passive did the child sit under it. Then she took the brokennosed pitcher herself and started in a burst of savage anger for the mecca of all her pilgrimages. Patsy crouched closer to tho smoldering fire as tho door opened and drew his ragged jacket "tighter about his shivering form. He had felt ill and i miserable for two or three <rays»v but there wajs neither medicine nor doctors in Pearl alley and the healing of the sick was not considered in the ethics of the community. This morning his' head and throat ached and throbbed with pain, his, tongue was dry, and his. lips were parched and hot. A curious fancy possessed him, too. Every once in a while the little rusty stove with its handful of coals widened into a great fire-place, blazing with heat, and he saw a long room with rows of white, downy beds, every one of which seemed to invite his tired and aching frame to rest within it. It was an old memory, revived in the semi-delirium of the fever which was upon him, of a visit long before to a hospital, why or with whom he could not recall. While he pondered the vision faded and the dreary reality was before him acaih— tho cold, dark room, the breakfastless table, and the bundle of rags in the corner which made his uninviting bed. Suddenly he heard a din in the street and he knew that Big Granny was close at hand. Dreading somehow the clash and clamor of her noisy entrance he slipped through the dark passageway and out into the narrow court or yard in the rear of the tenement. A group of children were playing there and his advent was greeted with a shout: "Come along wid ye, Patsy, its a wake we/re bavin"1 piped one urchin. Patsy looked at them dully, but did not stir from the threshold near which he stood. "Come on wid ye,11 they cried again, "git up, Micky Shannon, and lave Patsy be the corpse.1' Which post of honor in the ghastly game seemed to tempt the trembling boy from his place. He suffered himself tober drawn among his companions, and the former corpse, reluctantly yielding his privilege, Patsy stretched "out on the wet stones where . Micky had lain. Then the boys straightenedjthe bricks at the four corners that had toppled over during the change, put the bottles, serving as candlesticks, upon them again, and after vainly endeavoring" to light the bits of wet wood which they held for candles, gave up the attempt and began the ceremonies suited in their minds to the proper keeping of a wake. In solemn silence they first marched about Patsy's prostrate form. The boy lay still, his hands crossed upon his breast as they had been placed, and his gaze went straight upward to the patch oi cold sky visible between the roofs. Micky Shannon indignantty discovered his condition. "It's a fohxe corpse ye are, Patsy Flynn. wid yer peepers wide open like a windy. Shut 'em up, will ye," he shouted roughly, and Patsy slowly^ closed his eyes. As he did so the familiar vision came back of the hospital hall and cheerful fireplace, with the dormitory of white, restful beds. And the play went on, the mourners chanting and crooning their Irish songs, vjhile the moist atmosphere slowly settled into a chill, drizzling rain. With the lowering cloud a gra shadow fejl and rested on PatsyVjacfe. Was it only the rain thatmad*4tlsbrow so damp and cold? TltCDoy did,not know, for he KIW wandering still among tho^-tfowny beds. Here was one softer*and whiter and warmer than anyfinto this he would plunge and sink away to sleep, yes, to sleep, for he was tired, and it would be so good to —rest. The children did not mind the rain, and were playing still half an hour afterward when a noise in the street attracted them. r " T h e ingines," they cried; "it's a fire," and with a whoop every mourner rushed away, leaving the corpse to follow. But Patsy lay still, sleeping now in the softest and whitest of his beds and the gray shadow jwhich was not the rain nor the mTstTell heavier across the shut eyes and touched the pale lips With a purple tinge. The engines rattled by in the next street, but the mourners did not come back, for they were in hot pursuit. Big Granny had drank only "tine portion *of beer yet, and restless as usual under so liglit adosc, it happened that she openedJJ»euoor of her room and stumbledr'through the dark passageinto the yard while Patsy still lay there alone. She saw the child on the flags asleep with his face upturned in the rain. Something in the still, pale features startled the half-drunken creature and stifled the harsh speech which trembled on her lips. She tottered forward and fell down by Patsy's side. She touched the c»ld and stiffening hand and ealled his name in a low entreating tone. Then as the truth forced its way to her drink-besotted brain, some emotion long dormant in her woman's heart was stirred, and out from her miserable degradation and remorse there went up a wail so shrill and piercing and so freighted with human agony that the inmates of the rooms looking out upon tho court hurried to their windows to finds its cause.

"While Artemus Ward was out here on a lecturing tour in '63," said a Stoektonian to a Jester man, "he won ten dollars from myself and a friend by a very clever practical joke, and as I have never seen it in print, I will give you the particulars for publication. "I was sitting in a restaurant on Pine street, in San Franc)sco, enjoying some oysters with a friend, and was telling him about Artemus Ward's lecture that I had attended the evening before. I was repeating to my friend some of Ward's funny sayings, when who should come into the restaurant but a person that I at once thought I recognized as the very individual about whom I was talking. He had a gentleman with him, and they took seats at a table on the other side of the restaurant, about thirty feet from where we were. 'Do you see that thin, lank-looking young man over there P; said I to my friend. "'Yes.' " 'Well, that's Artermus Ward.1 "'What, that consumptive-looking cuss Artemus Ward? I think I can judge pretty well the character of a man by his face, and it seems hardly possible to me that that melancholylooking individual can be the greatest humorist of the world. I'll bet you the oysters that you are mistaken; that he is not Artemus Ward.1 " 'You may be right,' said I, 'I was some distance from the stage last night, and I didn't get a very good look at him; but I feel pretty positive ot my man, and I am willing to take your bet.' "'Well, then, as the bet is all settled, 1 said my-friend, 'you go and tell the person that you * suppose to be Artemus Ward that there is a bet myself that there"is a and ask hinrhls name. some^-time, tackle his t the same question by this means, make of the name of our man.1 then went up to the supposed /ill.r at tween you and certain person, I will, at the companion, an to him. JWew ce ' I Artemus Ward and questioned him aa proposed by my friend, and was informed that his name was Charlie Browne. My friend, who questioned the other man, was told that the person in dispute was, as I supposed, Artemus Ward. * Your • friend' has given you away.1 said I. 'You are not "Charlie Browne. You are Artemu* Ward.' " 'Well.1 said the supposed Artemua Ward, 'you can either take my word, or my friend's; but I will bet you fiv dollars that my name is "CjMrflle Browne.' " 'You ought to kn£»r"15est who you are,' said I, 'but^ttimk yon are trying to bluff me^fluf I am willing to take you J)prl will bet you rive dollars your name is not Charlie Browne.' •And I'll bet you five,' said the other man to my friend, 'that he is Artemus Ward.' " 'All right,' replied my friend. 'This seems to be a mixed-up affair, and I'm willing to risk five dollars for the sake of unraveling it. I'll bet you five dollars that he is not Artemus Ward.' "The result was that we both lost our money. Artemus Ward and Charlie Browne were one and the same person, Artemus Ward being: Charlhs Browne s Jeater. uom de plume. V? —Pacific T H E WAY OF IT.

I would like to contribute. Let us give him something handsome." "Well, we'd better limit the subscription to two dollars apiece. That's enough, and all the boys will chip in." "All right, go ahead; put me down for my share." And the zealous friend gets a sheet of paper and he writes down the names of all the fellows who are friends of the departing. "We want to give Jones a little pres ent," he says to two or three. "Wil you chip in?" "Why, certainly. What are you going to give him?" "Don't know. It'll cost about thirty dollars." "All right. I'll stand my share.". Then the affectionate friend goes and orders a little bit of jewelry or something and has an elegant inscriptiop put upon it "From hisloving friends,'1 and shows it around.

At , early dawn before the ana the Indiana gathered around the .tent The auctioneer, stepping, out of the tent holding a blanket in nil hands, began in a loud vpioe to invite bids on the blanker. /'Four dollars," aang out an old man who had a patch of yellow paint under his right eye, and sat on the outer edge fit the oircle*which had now formed around the tent "I will give you five,'1 cried one of the Indians sitting in the circle. "It is yours," said the auctioneer, and the bidder, after 'depositing a due bill for the amount, received the blanket The auctioneer now brought on a pair of beaded leggings, and the bidding began. One thing was noticeable, the number bidding never exceeded two, and the article was invariably knocked down to the second bidde* Mocoasins, necklaces* fans of eagle feathers— in fact the whole paraphernalia of a complete Indian outfit was brought out and sold to the highest bidder.

The burning cedar now began to pour forth a volume of smoke, and one by one the members of the band rushed into the smoke, bending down close to the coals, turning round and round, with many wild gestures and with outstretched blanket, the amoke at times completely hiding them from view. "Come on, my son," said one of the party, taking a firm hold of the traders1 arm, and reluctantly the paleface was drawn into {.he smoke, where he performed the smoke act to the evident satisfaotioiroT the party.

The Plymouth colonic* In Mauaohusetta gave ui the lint feattt known in thin oountty in 1682. were erected to protect planted against damages from creatures at large. It was said before » m e t o i f of the American Institute FarroW Clud at New York, in 185», that the farmesi in this country were educated nnd>r the system of fences; under the notion that a man is bound to protect his property by fencing out the world, that the law hna no power, and that there is no gesv oral respect for the right of pr< but that you must fence out all int and guard your property with w fences. It is all founded on fiction. The law does protect a man's property. Hit real estate and Its products ant his, and, whether fenced or unfenoedt they lie under protection of the law. In «ott> tlnuation of this matter the ec tratpoBd* ent says that m o s k ^ f « « JSew England farmB are inclosed w l A ffjkcef--straigh^ crooked and irregular—^goocl bad and indifl'ereut Moat farms irfe nbdirided as to resemble a chooser-board. Everything seems to be fenced. The fences are almost as varied a i they are abundant. The.Virginia rail fence is the pioneer; then the log feuce, stone wall, stump fence, pitch p * ^ fence, worm fe#ce, and the post and sail fence. Not less than four fee* ia height constitutes the lawful-, feno*. Stone wall is the main f encdyin Maine and Massachusetts,and perhtsi in Connecticut also. Maine also haTths rail and board fence and the bush Tar.ee. Rati fences are the cheapest The roots and stumps of large trees, s»t up edgewise* make most effective fences. The ston* wall would last forever, if it were wall and carefully laid in the first plaoe and. the frost did not play havoc with i t M commonly built, the stone wall w i l keep out all kinds ot stock « e * p 4 sheep. It is insisted tha* stones eottld be more cheaply disposed \ft£ ^kasi hy laying in wall form. Good fenoes, says a Kennebec f as reported, make good neighbors, yet he refuses for himself t o believe in theaa. There are over 64,000 farmers in Maine* he said. Their farms have in the aggregate over 42,000,000 rods of fence, or more than 181,000 miles. Ornameatal fences merely are not included ia these, nor are upward of 2,000 mile* «4 railroad fencing.. In the entire Stats there are 11,000,000 rods of highway fenoes, 16,000,000 rods of partition fences, and some 16,000,000 rods of division' Stances. A^a cost of ¢1 a rod, which the speaker considered a fair estimate, the total ooet of fences in Maine is $42,000,090, which is nearly as m u e V as all the farms and the) buildings are> worth. It is twice and a half the valnei of live stock in the State, and nearly asV: much as the whole State has inveskalat manufactures. Beckoning nhnrmji ajat repairs, loss from yearly deoajr, l f i > - eost of breaking roads thrj drifts, caused by high fenc interest on the first cost, ta he est mated that the f< State annually not less ftian ja\< which he sets down as s^sfnah loss in cash and labor to tfcj* '"' S Welessa^de* cutA, burng, scaWfl, brui rheumatism.

Fencing n mowing field enables a farmer to feed bis stock in it during the spring and falL His idea is that all the fenoing a farmer should have should be simply tor confine animals where they are placed. The farmers would rid themselves of e> heavy tax by doing away with their road fenoes, and, where necessary, enforcing the law respecting roaming oattlet The law does not compel the farmers to fence the roads, but their occupied or improved lands only. The law retpeoiing the liability of owners of cattle is vague and obscure. Other Maine farmers would abolish fenoes altogether. It takes 8,000,000 rods of fenoes for the pastures alone, in whiehare kept 900,000 head of meat stock.

ST. LOUIS, April 10.—The first blood t o be spilled HB a result of tho railroad troubles in East St. Louis was shod there a t three o'clock yesterday afternoon, when a group of Sheriff Ropiequet's deputies, sworn in and armed to take the places of his regular men, who had been sent back to Belleville Thursday night, fired into the crowd of strikers and specta,- tors who had gathered near the Cahokis creek bridge, and killed six persons, while two nro mortally wounded and others badly hurt. The killed'are: Pat Driscol, employe of the w a t e r w o r k s ; Oscur Washington, a painter; John Bohmau, a water-works laborer, not a striker; C. E. Thompson; unknown m a n shot at the bridge approach; Mrs. Johu Pfeiffer; Major Rychman. All was quiet until half-part two in the afternoon, when a posse of fifteen armed deputies in the pay of the Louisville & Nashville Railway Company, provoked by the t a u n t s of men, women and children, fired upon an unarmed crowd a t the Broadway crossing of the Louisville it Nashville road. A ucetie of the wildest t e r r o r ' n n d excitement followed. Mrs. J o h n Pfeifer, a ndddle-aged woman, who WHH just returning home from a shopping expedition with her husband, stepped on the bridge just as the lirHt shot was fired- and almost immediately fell mortally wounded, a ride ball passing clean through her body. She died within an h w a \n tho erowd were quite a number o T women and small boys who began to scream, and a stunrpw*e in all directions followed. The deputies emptied their Winchesters and continued t o lire their rev givers. P a t Driscoll, a Wabush section hand, and J o h n Bonner, a coiil miner, neither of them a striker, were the next to fall, and died on the bridge. Major Rychmann, a rolling-mill employe, in no way comieeted with the strike, was s h o t in t h e - h e a d and shoulder, and has^since died, and a young girl named Kleinman was wounded. 0 The greatest excitement immediately prevailed and pandemonium reigned. The erowd lied in every direction and the deputies, realizing how fearful wus the result of their fire, sought means of escape by rushing for the bridge, with a view of tWeing to this city. At the approach, and just at,the bridge tower on the east side, they were met by Mayor Joyce, City Canty and a third man, who seized the deputies guns and endeavored to turn them back. One of the deputies, in his terror, fired upon the trio, killing a man named C. E. Thompson, who stood between Joyce and Canty. Some shots were fired by the remaining deputies a t the approaching strikers, and all started over the bridge. The scene on the bridge was one of the wildest confusion. Coal teams and other teams with wagons were galloping westward, and their drivers shouting to all pedestrians and teamsters to run bock. Women and men on foot were running toward the city and waving back all they met, while immediately behind came the deputies pursued by the vanguard of the crowd from E a s t St. Louis. One of the frightened guards threw hiB gun into the river, while another hid his weapon in a wagon t h a t was in full retreat. On arriving in this city the deputies went a t once to the Chestnut street police station, where, after stating the facts, they surrendered to the sergeant in charge and wen1 taken to the Four Courts, where they were placed in custody. Their names are: P. G. Hewlett, John Hogue, Sam Jonos, J o h n F. Williams, G. Luster, Stewart Martin, George Marnell and W. F. Laird. Some of the deputies who failed to escape with those who fled to this city were chased by the crowd into the freight warehouse and offices of the Louisville & Nashville. The warehouse was surrounded by an immense crowd, who hooted and yelled and urged the men to a t t a c k the stronghold a n d drive the deputies out. Men went among the crowds urging others to procure arms and shoot all the deputies they could find. Some of the deputies, watching their opportunity, slipped out and worked their way a m o n g the freight cars unobserved. A Louisville & Nashville freight car backed down alongside the platform, and took away the others to a. place of safety. Two weresigfctod by^the""strikers who had procured arms *~nd were chased under the bridge. One of them was caught in front of Toncy's house on the levee,- and was beaten to death by the mob; another was reported to have been shot as he was escaping under the approach to the- bridge. The other deputies escaped unharmed. A few of the more violent strikers, after arming themselves, announced their intention of attacking the deputies on guard a t the Ohio <fc Mississippi yards, and advanced in t h a t direction. *When near the yards they were met by several deputies and fired upon. One of their number is said to have been killed, b u t his name is unknown. On being informed of the situation Governor Oglesby a t once ordered eight militia companies to the scene. Later orders were issued to two more companies. Several military companies arrived from Decatur, Springfield and Nashville early in the evening, and it was t h o u g h t their arrival would cjuell all riotous proceedings. ST."Louis.

ST. LOUIS, April 12.—East St. Louis wasyery quiet Saturday ami Sunday, aud only a few disturbances of minor importancewere reported. The militia was o u t in force, and s t r o n g guards were stationed at the Broadway crossing, where the shooting occurred, and ut other exposed points where trouble might be feared. At the relay depot the Catling gun brought from Springfield was placed in a positioncommanding the tracks, and n, squad of ten men under Sergeants Oulehouso and Mair were detailed t o operate it. Altogcthernboitt «ix hundred troops, made up chiefly from the Eighth and Fifth Regiments, are present in various parts of thecity, but chiefly in and about the y a r d s . Their tents are pitched just north of therailroad depots, with Ge«>.>rals Ueecff and Vance in command. The specific orderx to the officers are tp.;_ disperse all crowds of men, even in squads of two or three, a n d in case of assault or resistance to arrest the offenders and turn, them over to the sheriff. In case of resistance such as imperils thelives of t h e t r o o p s or the public peace they are authorized to employ all the force at their disposal. This is in strict compliance with the written authority of the sheriff of St. Clair County. Having received information t h a t large crowds of people from St. Louis contemplated crossing to East St. Louisduring the day, General Reece issued a peremptory order to prevent any one from crossing the river, either by the bridge or ferries, unless provided'with passes from the bridgecompany or from the military, This was n o t to include any through puBsengers on railway trains. I t was believed t h a t thiswould occasion no individual hardship and might prevent the city from being o v e r r u n with irresponsible persons whose presence was n o t to be desired in view of the recent excitement. The losses sustained by different railway companies by the four incendiary fires of Friday night a m o u n t to about $5Q,000; insurance, a b o u t $30,000. ^ Early Saturday afternoon the coroner's, jury of six citizens of East St. Louis visited the homes of the dead to examine thsbodies and then proceeded t o the city hall, where a t three o'clock the inquest was begun. Twelve witnesses were ex- Clerk 1 a mined, and a t the end of their testimony an adjournnfent was taken to to-day. T h e evidence of the leading witnesses all tended to show t h a t the firing was begun by ths-t deputies without sufficient provocation. The eight deputies are still locked up in the Four Courts. Theirexplanatiotj of the outbreak of the trouble is different from t h a t brought out a t the inquest. Their story is told by Hewlett, who says t h a t while he was a t t e m p t i n g to arrest a demonstrative striker the crowd massed around him. He heard a pistol shot near him and dodged n stone hurled at his head. The shooting then in some way became general. He was exposed to a cross-fir* and ordered his men to retreat to the freight depot, where, the crowd again assailed them and thev sought safety in flight. * .. Mr. Bailey and other members of the general executive board, as well as prominent local Knights of Labor, suite quite emphatically t h a t tho deputy sheriffs who fired on the people in East St. Louis will be prosecuted to tho full' extent of the law; t h a t plentv of money will be forttmfming " f o r ' t h a t purpose, and t h a t the best legal talent obtainable will be employed. Large amounts of money are coming here now t o relieve whatever distress may exist among striking Knights. The executive board of the Knights of L a b o r prepared the following telegram, and. sent it out as an expression of thsboard's opinion of the affair: ST.

Every one, of cour.se, is familiar with t h e judgment delivered by King Solomon in the case of the two mothers. Extraordinary as it must at first have appeared to those who heard it, it had, nevertheless, the efi'ect of bringing out the truth, and making manifest which of the rival claimants was the genuine one. Scattered about in the various histories and records of men and nations are to be found many other decisions of despotic kings and princes, unrestrained by the iron hand of statute law and precedent, which seem equally quaint, and yet were equally effective in bringing about the desired result. The case in which Portia appeared as counsel is no fiction of Shakespeare's, though she herself may be. The main facts of the singular bond and its attempted enforcement, and the consequent trial and judgment, as related in " T h e Merchant-of Venice," are fairly well-authenticated matters of history.

Soliman smiled, and told her she must have been sleeping hard, if she had not heard the noise the men must have made in carrying away her property. " I t Is true, my lord," she boldly replied, "that I slept soundly, because I believed your Highness was watching over me.1 ' The Sultan, though he felt the force of her rebuke, nevertheless admired her reply, and took steps for the restoration of her property aud the punishment of her spoilers, giving her as well, twenty pieces of gold. Scaliger relates that a gentleman of high position, named Macaire, one of the bodyguard of King Charles V., of France, having some grudge against one of his comrades, Aubrey de Montdidier, meeting hitn one day in the forest liondy, near Paris, accompanied only by his dog, treacherously murdered him and buried the body. What the dog was doing while his master was being murdered, Scaliger does not tell us; but it appears to have been temporarily absent, probably hunting. When it returned, it found out the spot where its master's body was buried, and lay down on the grave, and kept watch over it until the pangs of hunger drove it in quest of food. It trotted off into Paris, to the kitchen of one of Montdidier's most intimate friends, where it was well known and hospitably received. Food was offered to it, and when the poor animal had satisfied its hunger, it set ott again for its master's grave in the forest of Bondy. Next day the same conduct was repeated, and for several days afterward. At last the curiosity of one of the servants who fed the dog was aroused as to the cause of its daily visits, and he resolved to follow it. He traced it to the forest, and saw it lie down on a spot where the earth appeared to have' been recently disturbed. The dog, seeing the man approach, began to howl in a melancholy way, as though it were trying to inspire pity. The appearance of the ground and the dog's singular conduct led to a search being made, when the body of Montdidier was discovered. The dog subsequently attached itself to the owner of the kitchen where it had gone daily for food; and if was noticed that every time it met Macaire, who moved in the same society as his new master, it Hew at him and would have worried him if it had not been pulled away by those who were at hand. This behavior of the dog-caused some suspicion to grow up-against Macaire. Charles V., hearing of the matter, wished toJjKptiire into the truth of it, and gave'orders that Macaire and the dpg^sfiouid both come before him. Im- 'mediately the dog saw Macaire it again Hew at him with its accustomed fury. The King severely questioned Macaire as to what he knew of Montdidier's death, and exhorted him to tell the truth. Macaire denied all knowledge of it. Charles' then decreed that Macaire and the dog should meet in single combat; the man being furnished with a thick staff; and a barrel, with one end knocked out being provided as a place of shelter for ihoo-og, in case it should be hard presjsedT' The duel commenced. The dog began by bounding about,.just outside the reach of the stattr till'it saw its opportunity. Then it""made a furious spring and -caught Macaire by the throat and dragged him to the ground. The unfortunate man, finding he could not free himself, cried for mercy and confessed his crime. He was thereupon delivered from the dog, but only to be given into the custody of the law, by whose sentence he was afterwards executed. r The Duke of Ossone is celebrated for the many quaint judgments and decisions delivered bv him while Viceroy of Naples. Some of them seem actuated rather by a spirit of pleasantry than by one of justice. One day the Duke had to choose a galley-slave who should be libe.ratod/in. honor of some great festival. He went on board one of the galleys, and standing in front of the first bench of rowers, six in number, he began /to question them all as to what hod. brought them there. The first one' contented himself by calling God as/a witness to his innocence, and -protesting that he was there for no reason at all. The second said his punishment and disgrace were the, work of his enemies, and not ,the consequence of any crime. The'third protested that a crying injustice had been done him by his having been sent there without any trial. / T h e fourth said t h a t / t h e lord of hi^/village had become/enamored of his wife, and had caused him to be .sent there out of the/Way. The fifth/declared that he c#ine fVoru the hanilet of Somma, ai>d that ho had been implicated in a robbery there, in /which he really h*id had no part at all, and that a l i b i s neighbors would bear witness to his honesty. The sixth, who had observed that all these excuses and, justifications did not seem to please the Duke, took a different tone. / " Y o u r Excellency," he said, " I come from Naples; and though the t o ^ n is a large one I do not believe it d,y of the unfortunate wayfarer. The dead man's son brought an action against the slater, asking that he might'receive punishment for killing his father, and be made to pay him, the son, damages to compensate him for his loss. The King, before whom the matter was laid, inquired into it and satisfied himself that the slater was in no way to be blamed, his fall, and its fatal consequence, being purely accidental. In delivering his judgment, he said that it was natural that the son should desire some satisfaction for the death of his father at the hands of the man who had killed him, and that this he was ready to order him. The slater must go and stand exactly in the position where the deceased man had been at the time of the accident, and the son might mount on the roof of the house and throw himself thence •on to the slater, and so mete out to him the same treatment as had been meted out to his, the plaintiff's, father. The son, however, like Shylock, declined to run the risks incidental to carrying out the judgment. The Emperor Claud was appealed to ,by a young man who complained that his mother had disowned him, jsaying that he was no son. of hers, and in no way entitled to any share of the family property. Thp Emperor investigated the matter, anil came to the conclusion that, though there was no w a y je# -quite conclusively proving that'/ftie young man was the son of the woman, there was yet, practically, n o / d o u b t about 3t. He ordered t h e / w o m a n to be brought before h i m / a n d said and the punishment of her spoilers, to her: "Do you still deny/that t h i s r n a n ^ o n t a i n s a greater scoundrel than my*- self. They have been merciful to mo in only sending me to the galleys." The Viceroy looked at the m a n keenly for some moments, and then, turning to, those in attendance upon him, said: " Let this scoundrel be released from, his chains; he will corrupt Then he presented him with somo money to provide himself with clothing, and besought him to u y to ft* a better M e eHV WewP f V M W w - - ' • ' « > . / • Two days, afterwards, another prisoner was to be liberated, and the Ditke again proceeded to the galley* to select one. Information as to what had happened on the previous occasion had reached the slaves in the galley which the Duke boarded, and they believed that the best way of getting their liberty was to blacken themselves as much as possible, seeing that that course had succeeded so well before. Of all the three hundred in the galley there was not one who did not confess that he was soiled with the vilest crimes, and had richly deserved wheel or gallows. " T h i s is s t r a n g e , " said the Duke, " t o see so many people with souls so black. Their punishment is the health of the state, which they would infect by their bad example. What crimes would they not commit if they were at liberty! 1 shall order thorn all to be still more vigorously guarded." Which he did, freeing only a monk, because he ingeniously said that the chains of the*galley were less oppressive than those of the monastery. His punishment was the penalty of a double apostasy of which he had been guilty. " W e l l , " said the Duke, "return to your monastery, since there you undergo a severer punishment." A rich old merchant, seventy years of age, named Morelli, boasted that he had gained the whole of his fortune without leaving Naples. He had never been away from it, he said, for liveand- forty years, and he vowed he would never go beyond the sight of its walls. The Duke of Ossone heard of the old man's speeches, and sent to him one of his officers forbidding him, on the part of the King, to leave the kingdom on pain of forfeiting a fine of a thousand crowns. Morelli received the prohibition with mockery, and jested about it with his friends. To leave the kingdom was the last thing in the world he should think of doing. Had he not said that nothing could induce him to travel out of sight of his beloved Naples? Soon, however, he began to feel a curiosity as to what could have prompted this command of the King's, and he began to torment himself by all sorts of vague guesses and reflections, till t h e m a t t e r took such hold,of his thoughts that it threw him into a nervous and miserable condition, and even prevented him from sleeping. At last, to deliver himself from a state of inquietude which he could no longer bear, and to satisfy his longings to do that which had been forbidden him, he sent a thousand crowns to the Viceroy, and passed over the Neapolitan border into the Papal States. He staid there only one night and then returned to Naples. The Viceroy, upon hearing of his return, distributed half of the thousand crowns among Neapolitan hospitals, and returned the rest to Morelli, saying that this would suffice to teach the public how fools are punished. About the same time there was in Naples another rich merchant named Ferrouelli, noted for his avarice. This man had had the misfortune to lose ft)i embroidered purse containing fifty gold ducats and fifty Spanish pistoles, together with a r i u g worth a thousand crowns. This loss was a cause of great grief to Ferronelli; and he sent a crier through Naples proclaiming that any one finding the purse and restoring it and its contents to the owner, should be rewarded with the fifty pistoles. A poor old widow found it, ani/brotight it to Ferronelli. As soon as ne saw it and its rich c o n t e n t s / h e fe/ft tempted to cozen the old w o m e n / o u t of the freater part of the promised reward, he temptation,was top7strong for the avaricious man to resist; and while he was counting over the pistoles, he devternnsly pushed ont of siHit, thirty of them, and said to the widow; " I promised/ the fifty pistoles that were inside the purse to the finder; but I see you have already taken thirty of them. Here are the other twenty."! The old woman protested that she had not taken a single coin; but it was in vain. Ferronelli,.insisted that she had already appropriated thirty of The pistoles, and must, therefore, now be contented with the balance of twent)'. The old woman wa^obliged to yield, and went away writh what she could get, which was indeed a large sum for her. * ' ~ Talking matters over, however, with her friends afterwards, she was advised to lay the affair before the Viceroy and beseech his interference. The "merchant was summoned before the Viceroy, and gave his account of the mattef. The Duke, when ho had heard Ferronelli's story, replied: "It is not likely that the old woman would have abstracted part ot the money in the purse as, if she had been dishonestly inclined, she might have taken the whole. This purse, therefore, can not be yours; for yours, you say, contained fifty pistoles. and this one does not. In my opinion, you ought to be .punished for" having appropriated what does not belong to y o u . " "Mylord,"urged Ferronelli, "I recognize the purse perfectly, I know the embroidery; besides^there are my ring and my fifty ducats in it. I beseech your Excellency not to allow me to be deprived of what is rightfully mine.". "You must be deceiving'yourself," replied the Viceroy. "Does not the mint turn out all the ducats alike, ami it is not possible that the jewelers should have made more than ono ring like yours, and that there should be more than one purse embroidered in the same fashion as yours? The essential point is that your purse contained fifty pistoles, while this one does not." Then addressing himself to the widow, he said, "Go, m y good \ w n a n , take the purse; you are fairly entitled t o i t / One QTtiMjfc* Mm el tfcfc Yleewf'e 5 metnod of dispensing" justice, and we Will conclude. There was in Naples a young Spanish exquisite, one Bertrand Solus. One day while he was lounging about in one ot the busier parts of the city, a porter, carrying a bundle of wood on his shoulder, tried to make his way through the crowd. Solus was directly in his path, and the porter called out to him several >imes: "Make way, please," without producing any effect. . He then attempted to pass him as b*«;t he could; but, unfortunately, the wood came in contact with the young man's velvet dress and gave it an ugly rent. Highly indignant he laid an information against the porter, and asked t h a t he might be punished. The Viceroy, having inquired privately into the circumstances before going into court,—told the porter that he was to pretend to be dumb, and was to reply, by signs only, to any thing that might be*«*aid to him. When the Viceroy took his seat on the bench, Solus (laid his complaint before him, and awkjjd for judgment against the porter. T h e Viceroy turned to the porter and a«ked him what he had to say in reply to the charge. The porter only shook his head and made signs with his hands. "What judgment do you want me to give against a d u m b m a n ? " asked the Viceroy of Solus. •*0h, your Excellency, the man is an impostor. I beseech you not to believe that he is dumb. Before he ran against me, I distinctly heard him cry out: 'Make way.' " " T h e n . " replied the Viceroy, "if you heard him ask you to make way for him, Why did you not? The fault of the accident was entirely with yourself; and you must pay this poor man compensation for the trouble you have given him in bringing him here."—Dr. Charles H. Campbell, i?i Bailouts Magazine. THE HORSE'S HOOF. Its Construction and the Injurious Effects of Improper Shoeing. The external covering of the foot m a y b e divided into four parts, viz., the " w a l l " or " c r u s t , " the " b a r s , " "sole" and "horny frog." The external portion/named "crust," is adapted as a defense to the sensitive parts within. It is composed of small filaments, or hollow tubes, consolidated in such a manner as to preserve their canals distinct. These canals constitute the excrementitious outlets of the hoof, through which morbific or waste matters make their exit, and in them may also be found the vessels bv which the horn is secreted. The small vessels arising from the vascular and nervous membrane beneath the hoof, which is considered as a continuation of-'tfte true skin, enter also into these canals. The small vessels alluded to, technically called -papilla?* possess the properties of sensibility and conductibility. They ar»1 formed from cells, and have an alloted • function to perform, for which, in their healthy state, they are all-sufficient, and for which no other class has or can perform without derangements to the parts. The " b a r s " are a continuation of the external portion just described. They form an angle at the heels, which terminates toward the toe. They serve to give strength and durability to the hoof, prevent contraction of the heels, and thus aid the hoof in protecting the soft and sensitive parts. The internal portion of the bars presents the same appearance as that of the crust. They are held together by vital affinities, and so long as they maintain their normal integrity the foot will preserve its form. Ne'xt in order is the "sole." It is considered to be more elastic than the crust, and is the medium of the sensitive faculty, through which, together with its elasticity, the percussion of the foot against the ground is regulated. The "horny frog" is still more elastic than either of tlie parts described, and any unnecessary " p a r i n g " on the part of the snSQfcJs to be deprecated. On the internal portion of the parts just described is found a beautiful set of lamina\ resembling those found on the under part of a mushroom; their number is said to be about five hundred, which articulate with a similar number given off from the coffin-bone. Each lamina?, having two sides and an edge, forms a series of articulations, numbering about three thousand. The whole presents a surface of foursquare feet. Hence, the body of a horse rests lipe7n~stxTeen~' square feet of surface within the hoof. The hoof, as observed, serves as a defense to the sensative parts within. It varies in size and thickness, according to the age and condition of the animal. Its texture may be rendered hard or soft by the judicious application of therapeutic agents. Its conformation may be altered, for better or worse, by proper attention to the laws of animal life, stable management and skillful shoeing. Some people seem to suppose that a horse's foot is as insensible as a stone. The smith wrenching off the shoes, often brings away a portion of the hoof with them, and cuts off large pieces with as little care as a man would trim a dog, then apply a red-hot shoe to the part, without any regard to the feelings of the animal.' Many .persons have had occasion to deplore'the,present barbarions system of shoeing. Dearbought experience has taught them a lesson which they are not likely to forget.— Philadelphia Record. —Mrs. Clafiin, Mrs. Secretary Whitney, Mrs. Don Cameron and Mrs. J o h n Hay, all of whom reside in Washington Oity, in tiuc residences, were young gut* fir«xa GtaTeiand, 0.-CY " ' MICfflftAJf STATE NEW& O The Detroit grain and produce quotation* are: Wheat—No. 1 White, S o ^ o o J i c ; No. 2 Red, M^(<^84Xc; No. 3 Red, b2K@8Sc.

Price, is delivering lectures before various agricultural societies in that State, on the use of pulverized coal waste for improving the soil. The piles of waste & coal in the vicinity of the anthracite tcoal mines are estimated to equal onethird the entire output; and they are ^ [becoming a positive nuisance, which the coal dealers'would like to be rid of. Some attempts have been made to utilize this waste by pressing it into bricks, in which fonu it would burn well; but Itlie cost thus far has been greater than jthe value of the product. Coal dust v iwill darken light soils, and possibly, in itime, add something to the fertility; ;but farmers had better l>e a little ca'uitious, and experiment in a moderate jway before investing heavily in coal ,dust, with which to manure their bai- Iran fields.—#.

Special. 1 There resided a t the little village of Auburndale, near this city, a m a n w h o possesses a history BO interesting, varied and thrilling as to be w o r t h y of the pen of a novelist. His n a m e is Fred. Grube. He w a s born in Hanover, Prussia, June 15, 18536, and till the a g e of t w e n t y y e a n w a s a laborer. About 1846 the Holstein war broke o u t b e t w e e n G e r m a n y a n d Denmark. Grube w a s pressed into the service, a n d served as private twenty^ months. Being of a naturally high-spirited nature, Grube could n o t endure the insolence of a certain superior, and during a n altercation he nearly killed the officer. He "was tried b y a court-martial a n d sentenced to be shot. On the night previous t o the d a y s e t for his execution he m a n a g e d to escape, and after numberless {rials and adventures reached England, where he at o n c e enlisted in the English legion of L o n d o n under the assumed n a m e of H e r m a n Grader. He w a s at once sent with the r e g i m e n t to the seat of t h e Crimean war, then r a g i n g between E n g l a n d and Russia, and passed through all the battles of the peninsula, including the storming of Sabastopoi. After this battle Grube, in c o m p a n y with t w e n t y comrades, w a s sent on a scouting expedition into Holland, but w e r e surprised b y t h e e n e m y , a n d all were killed i n the fight or hangwd afterward e x c e p t Grube. H e finally reached England, w h e n h© w a s a t once sent with the legion t o the seat of w a r then brewing b e t w e e n E n g l a n d and Holland. While in Holland h e w a s sent out as a spy, but w a s captured and a g a i n sentenced to death, but b y e l u d i n g one guard a n d killing another he a g a i n escaped. He again reached England, where h e rem a i n e d a time, a n d then came t o America, arriving in N e w York in 1854. U p o n the breaking o u t of the civil w a r he a t once enlisted, and served three years, particip a t i n g in t w e n t y - t h r e e battles.

Nat Grayson has of lata beta tat* pected of not closely adhering to tfc* J truth. Thu it a serious imps and is not only likely to cause feelings but may result in pbysioatelfc* tanglemente. Nat, it is true, has s> way of stating facts <- has a careless m u u r that tends to throw doubt upon his sincerity. He came to town the other day. While Mendings on the street, ha took off his hat, mopped his head and remarked: "It's awful hot hero, but sot hall so hot as it Is down in my neighborhood." " How does the thermometer stand down there."' some one asked. V "Thermometer! Why, we ham stopped paring any attention to thermometers. People who owned fiao thermometers and who wanted to keep them had to send them out of the neighborhood to keep them from mating. I'll tell you what's a fact" "Wish you woirld tell us a fact,*" some one replied. ••Well, I'm going to. The is so hot down there that we put fresh eggs in ice water the eJeWr day to keep them from spoiling^ en<i, sir, five minutas afterwards we At* them !" "WhatP" "Yes, we ate them. They were boiled." After a season of rather enjoyable silence, some one asked: "Nat. do you need rain In your neighborhood?" " Yes, needing it badly. The rivet is down lower than I ever saw it before." "Lower than, it wai in seventythree?" 4 * Tw ice as low. The other day a _ party of us were sitting in my yard when a stranger came along and asked bow far it was to the river. We couldn't keep from laughing." "Why?" w "Because he had crossed the rivei without seeing it Since then those ot us who have an interest in the river have devised a plan for keeping up ftp* pearances." "How?" "Why, wo bought a sprinkler, and now, every day, we sprinkle the river bed. Say, you fellows all know Light Hamilton, don't you?" "Yes." '• Well, we've had to turn him oat ot the church." "What for?" " Bee ause he is such a liar. A liar** got no chance in dur neighborhood, let me tell you. We are plain, straight forward people down there, and wt can't tolerate a man that's got no regard for the truth. When we rind tfcfct one of our church members have b^eea tampering w.th the (ruth we go to Kim politely and kick him out of the community. Well, I must go." ^-""" Shortly after Nat took his d»pft«|br* some one circulated the report thai ha was suspected of not having a devoted love for the truth.

William 0 . McDowell arrived here late Saturday afternoon a n d left on a midnight train for New York after a short conference with Mr. Powderly. I t w a s decided then t o make another effort for a conference wath Gould. Mr. McDowell reached New York early Tuesday morning, and immediately began negotiations for a conference. Cyrus W. Field acted a s a med i a t o r i n t h e n e g o t i a t i o n s between Mc- Dowell a n d Gould. These n e g o t i a t i o n s failed, b a t Mr. Gould's statement on Mond a y t h a t n o negotiations were pending was n o t strictly true. Mr. Powderly finished his letter t o Mr. Gould Sunday afternoon and mailed it t o Mr. McDowell t h a t night, with instructions t o deliver it t o Mr. Gould in the event of the failure of the pending negotiations. T h e letter was placed in Mr. Gould's hands, •and he was given till live o'clock t o m a k e a reply. No word was received from Mr. Godld by Mr. Powderly a t t h a t hour, however, and the Utter is now given t o t h e p u b l i c Thte is i t s text: "SOKANTON, Pa., April 11, 1886, 3 a. m . ~ Jay Gould, Esq., President Jfutouri Pacific Jtaiiroad—Dear Sir: The events of the last forty-eight hours must have demonstrated to y o u the absolute necessity of bringing this terrible struggle in the Southwest to a speedy termination. Y o u have the power, tee authority and the means to bring the strike to an end. I have done every t h i n g to end the strife. The gentlemen associated with me on the general e x e c u t i v e board of the Knights of Labor have done the same. E v e r y t h i n g consistent with honor and manhood has been dune i n the interest of peace. N o false notions of pride or dignity n a v e s w a y e d us in o u r dealings w i t h y o u or t>he g e n t l e m e n associated w i t h you. "In the conference with y o u on Sunday* March 28, I understood y o u to m e a n that arbitration would be agreed to. The o n l y method of arbitration that was discussed w a s in line with t h a t suggested in t h e letter which I sent to y o u i n the n a m e of our board on , / t h e d a y previous, and there , w a s nothing particular agreed upon, as y o u well know. Y O B said that in arbitrating the matter the d a m a g e s Sustained by the c o m p a n y during the strike onght to receive consideration. I said *a you that it would n o t be the part of wisdom t o bring that question up in the settlement of the strike. When I called upon y o u again that evening y o u had prepared, asJthe result of your understanding of t h e morning's interview, a letter which y o u intended t o g i v e to me. That letter included a teleg r a m to be sent t o Mr. Hoxie, and in that telegram you said that the damages sustained by the company would bo a proper subject, for the arbitration board to discuss. The latter part of the letter or telegram ou agreed t o strike off, after we ad talked the matter over for some t i m e , and I left y o u as y o u were about t o g o to y o u r room to rewrite the letter which y o u afterward placed in the hands of Mr. McDowell to be g i v e n t o me, for I had t o leave a t that time in order to keep an appointment at the hotel where I stopped. Tne statement which you .have gince then made, to the effect that y o u had prepared that letter before I called, is n o t quite correct, or, if y o u did have it prepared, y o u changed it after y o u talked the matter over. This, I believe, you will admit to be trap. "At the conference held between the members of our e x e c u t i v e board a u d the directors of the Missouri Pacific Company, a t 195 Broadway, on March 30, y o u said t o me that you understand me to s a y that t h e men along your lines would be ordered , back to work a t once, they having violated ' the rules of our organization. I then reiterated t h e statement which I made to jrou, and n o w repeat it: T h e m e n a l o n g th© Lines of your railways can be ordered back t o f o r k , b u t if .they are given to u n d e r s t a m that thoy are deserted, t h a t w e <do n o t take a n y interest in them, it will n o t in a n y w a y mend matters; on the contrary, it will make things worse. There . are, all along the roads out there, a fere at m a n y m e n w h o have no regard for otganlzatioH or law—men pf hardy spirit, energy and dariag. Such m e n a s h a v e left the East a n d have taken . « p their homes in a wild country •. such as that is will not submit a s quietly . a s the m e n they have left in the East; they .are a p t t o do rasher things than they would kbe elsewhere, and I have n o doubt that w e h a v e some of them in our order; in fact, m y experience with the m e n of that v a s t section leads me to think that the m e n on b o t h aides o u t there are more daredevilish than they are in the East. Even the business men of that conntry are of that stamp of character.' " Both y o u and Mr. Hopkins heard me m a k e that statement, and 1 believe the latter agreed that that w a s his experience also. The danger of the strike spreading •was also discussed, and I said to y o u that i t would not spread; that an effort h a d ibeen made t o h a v e the m e n of the Union Pacific take u p a. part of it, b a t that t h e K n i g h t s of Labor on that road had a standing Agreement with the management of the road that there w a s to be7 no trouble or strike until the last effort t o effect a settlem e n t h a d failed, a n d p o t then until the •oourtof last resort had been reached. _ "This I (believe coveys the chief points of discussion. I did n o t hear either y o u or Mr. Hopkins s a y that the pifesent troubles a l o n g y o u r road would n o t be arbitrated w i t h the m e n who- were n o t at work. I t w a s m y firm belief when I left y o u that n i g h t t h a t y o u m e a n t to have the entire aff a i r submitted t o arbitration at the first jpomible moment. That belief is shared in b y Mr. McDowell, w h o was present during the entire/interview. " W h e * y o u sent the telegram t o Mr. H o x i e y o u sent it a s president of the Misjtowri Pacific Railroad Company. Y o u sent i t aa the chief sends a message to an inferior officer, and i t m e a n t a s much t o a .sensible m a n a s the most imperat i v e order could possibly m e a n . W h e n I, a s the chief officer of t h e K n i g h t s p i Labor, send a message ,*ooh as that it Is understood t o be m y wish- .ea, m d those wishes are respected-by t h e rsubordinate officry t o whom they are s e n t I t ia not his plac* t o put a different con- LStruction on them a n d give them his own" interpretations. The m a n in power need noteSe an autocrat ^ order t o have wishes respected. " 'I would Hk» to see ft done' cpjae's w i t h .as great a force from the m a j M n a u t h o r i t y , a i *I must have it done.' That was the idea t h a t I entertained when I left your house •that n i g h t I abo^explained to y o u at y o u r house that night that the men w h o had enitered uppfi^fhe strike had not violated a n y • l a w o > - t h e order in so doing; that while 1 thought it would h e r e been better if they had laid their grto wfcnces before the general executivebo a r d before striking, y e t thgre w a s nothing i n our l a w s to c o m m a n d t h e m to do so. " I furthermore explained t o y o n t h a t the spirit of our organization w a s opposed to strikes, and t h a t w a s the reascn w a y o u r Smeral convention never enacted a n y parcular legislation for the g o v e r n m e n t of them. I also said t h a t t h e occasion had never before called for a n y interference from the general officers, but that this strike would show t h e necessity for the passage at o u r n e x t convention of laws that would place the subject of strikes under the control of the general e x e c u t i v e board of the order. 4 , You can settle this strike. Its longer continuance rests w i t h you, and y o u alone. Every act of violence, every drop of blood that m a y be shed from this time forth, must be laid a t y o u r door. The K n i g h t s of Labor were n o t founded to promote or shield wrong-doing, a u d t o d a y t h e order of the Knights of Labor stands between y o u r property a n d ruin. W e are willing to absolve the m e n along your r a i l w a y s from their allegiance t o our order. We leave that to themselves. We will n o t allow a n y claims which the order w a y h a v e qu them to stand between them a n d their restoration t o their former positions. The order of the K n i g h t s of Labor asks n o m a n to remain a m e m b e r if it is n o t to his interftsfc to d o BO, Y o u m a y deaJ with t h e m as citizens if y o u will. We will surrender our •rights to claim these m e n as members if they wish, but w e will n o t surrender o u rights to see t h e affair thoroughly investig a t e d ' Y o u have said that the order of K n i g h t s of Labor was1 a conspiracy, a secret menace, etc. 1 am willing, as the ohief officer, to l a y every thing connected with our order,* bare to the world if y o u will, on the other hand, lay open t o the public the means and methods whereby y o u have piled Jap the wealth which y o u control, and ajllow the tribunal of public opinion to pasx in judgment on the t w o and s a y which is the conspiracy. Do y o u accept ^he challenge! Y o u have instructed youivteeral adviser to proceed against every m a n connected with the Knights of Labor for the damages sustained since the strike began. Two weeks ago I s a i d : Do not do this. To-day I fcay: Begin at ouee; lay claims for damages in every coilrt within whose jurisdiction a knight exists. Proceed a t once, and in every State where y o u c a n recover damages d o so it" the law will sustain you in it. Let the m a j e s t y of the l a w be vindicated; it is just and right that i t should be so. We are willing to face y o u before the law, and we will nght y o u with n o other weapons. For every violation of the l a w of S t a t e or Nation w e will enter suit against you, and in this crusade against y o u do not understand that we m e a n to persecute.. Ou the contrary, we wish to see the law vindicated. If you nave at all times obeyed the l a w in your dealings, in the methods by which y o u have acquired your immense fortune, then it is time that the m a n v offenses with which y o u are charged should be refuted. Y o u have remained silent under m a n y a damaging charge of injuring the State. We will b e your avengers. If you have been wronged we will let it be known to the world through the medium of the courts of justice. A n d let me s a y right here t h a t no money will buy a verdict at the hands of these courts. "There are psople s a y i n g that this struggle is the beginning of the war between capital and labor. That statement is false. This, certainly means war; but it is a w a r between legitimate capital, honest enterprise, and honest labor on the one hand, and illegitimate on the other hand. This is a war in which we court the fullest investigation of o u r acts. Do y o u dare to do the same? This battle of the people a g a i n s t ' m o n o p o l y m a y as well bo fought out now as ten years from now, and w h a t Meld so eminently proper in which to flgbt it out as before the Courtsi Let ijs k n o w whether laws were made to be obeyed or not, and if they--were n o t so framed then the people inust have laws that will be obeyed. No man, whether he be rich or whether he be the poorest of the poor, shall in future shirk the responsibility of his acts and shield himself behind the courts. It was to see that the laws were obeyed that the order of the Knights of Labor w a s founded, and if the d a y has come t o mako the trial, so let it be. "You have been warned that your life is in danger. P a y n o attention to such talk; no man who has the interest bf his conntry at heart would harm a hair of your head. B u t the system which reaches out on all sides, gathering in the millions of dollars of treasure and keeping them out of the legitimate channels of trade and commerce, must die, a n d tbe m e n whoso m o n e y is invested in the enterprise which stock gambling has throttled must m a k e common cause with those w h o have been denied the right t o earn enough t o provide tbe merest necessities of life for home and family. When I s a y t o y o u that w e will meet "you in the courts I do not^peak rashl y or ill-art vised ly. I have taifen counsel from the best legal minds of the United States. Wo are prepared t o face y o u before the courts, and n e w await your action in t h e matter. This is n o threat. I p l a y no game of bluff or chance. I speak for 503,000 organized m e n . w h o are ready to p a y out the last farthing in ordor that "jus tice m a y prevail. "You have it in your power to make frie'uls of these m e n b y acting the part of a man, by takingthis matter into your o w n hands. Will y o u do so and end this strife in the interest of humanity and our comm o n country} It is your duty to brush aside every obstacle, assert your authority and take this matter in y o u r hands, settle every grievance, restore every man to his place except those w h o have been engaged in the destruction ofpr^perfcv or who h a v e broken the laws. W i l r y o u d o this* Y o u can then make rules and agreements wttfayour men which will forever preclude the Sossibility of another such disastrous conict as this one has proved itself to be.

April 11, 18$6, at t h e s a m e time and b y the same agency t h a t I received y o u r foregoing letter of instructions t o Mr. McDowell. The animus and purpose of y o u r letter to me can n o t be fully understood w i t h o u t knowing t h e content* of that one. I w a s notified a t t h e same time t h a t I must a n s w e r y o u r letter b y five o'clock to-day. a n d f w a s graciously g i v e n until that hour t o respond. Y o u r letter t o me embraces t w o subjects, o n e relating to m e personally, and: the other conceruiug the relation or t a e K a i g b t s - o f Labor to a railroad comp a n y of which I a m president and in some degree the representative of its pubiio and priyate duties. I shall refer t o the first subject very briefly. The circumstances above given under which your1 letter was delivered, a s well a s its tenor and s p i r i t place the purpose i n writing it b e y o n d a n y fair d o u b t I t would seem to be a n official declaration that t h e Knight* of Labor had determined t o pursue me personally unless the Missouri Pacific Company should yield t o its d e m a n d s in what YOU call the strike o n that road. "In answer t o the personal threats I beg to s a y that I a m y e t a free A m e r i c a n citizen. I a m past forty-nine years of age, w a s bora a t Roxbury, Delaware County, in this State. I b e g a n life in a l o w l y w a y , a n d b y industry, temperance and attention t o m y o w n business h a v e been successful, perhaps, bevond the measure ofy m y deserts, ft, a s y o u say> I a m n o w to bo destroyed by the K n i g h t s of Labor unless I will sink m y manhood, so be i t Fortunately I have retained m y early habits of industry, m y friends, neighbors a n d business associates k n o w me well, and I a m quite content to leave m y personal record ill their hands. If a n y of t h e m have aught to complain of I will be only too * glad to submit t o a n y arbitration. If such parties, or a n y of them, wish to appoint the K n i g h t s of Labor or y o u as their attorney, such' a p p o i n t m e n t is quite agreeable to me, b u t until such an election is made it will naturally occur to y o u t h a t a n y interference on your part in m y persona} affairs is, t o say the ksast, quite gratuitous. Since I was nineteen years of a g e I have been in the habit of e m p l o y i n g in m y various enterprises, large ^numbers of persons, probably at times as high as 50,000, distributing ¢:3,000,000 or ¢4,000,000 p e r mouth to different pay-rolls. It would seem a little strange .that during all t h e s j years the difficulty with the Knights of Labor should be ray first A n y a t t e m p t t o connect m o personally with the late strike on the Southwestern roads, or a n y responsibility therefor is eqaally gratuitous, as y o u well know. It is true I a m the president of t h e Missouri Pacific, but when this strike occurred I w a s far a w a y o n the ocean r*id beyond the reach of the telegraph. I w e n t a w a y r e l y i n g o n y o u r promise made to me last August t h a t there should be no strike on that road, a n d that if a n y difficulties should arise y o u would come frankly t o me with them. Mr. Hopkins, the vice-president of this company, who w a s present and c o g n i z a n t of this a r r a n g e m e n t with you, in niy a b s e n c e sent y o u promptly, when the present sCrike broke out, the following telegrams: [Here follows a nunibar of t e l e g r a m s between Messrs. Hopkins, Hoxie arid Powderly, referring to the strike, its primary causes, the-request for arbitration, a n d the decision of Mr. Gould that the matter, havi n g been placed by the board of directors of the road in the h a n d s of\Mr. Hoxie, all negotiations for settlement inust be made with him. 1 Mr. Gould then continues: "Mr. Hoxie has stood ready to receive a n y andk all persons in the actual employ of the c o m p a n y , an a committee or otherwise, and confer upon or arbitrate a n y master of difference or c o m p l a i n t either between the c o m p a n y and its late employes, and, for that matter, between the c o m p a n y a n d a n y b o d y else. No such c o m m i t t e e or individual e m - ploye has, so far as known to me, ever made a n y such application. This c o m p a n y still stands ready to make good i n the fulle s t s e n s e its agreement as expressly s e t forth. "In the face of all this v o u notify me t h a t unless b y five o'clock I personally c o n s e n t to do something—precisely what, I d o n o t see—then personal consequences of a sort v a g u e l y expressed, b u t n o t hard to understand, will, a t the hand'of y o u r order, be visited upon me. Let me again remind y o u t h a t it is an American citizen w h o m y o u a n d y o u r order thus propose t o destroy. The contest is not between your order and m e , but between y o u r order and the laws of the land. Y o u r order h a s a l r e a d y defied these l a w s in p r e v e n t i n g by violence this c o m p a n y from operating its r o a d Y o u held t h e n that this c o m p a n y should not operate its road under conditions prescribed by y o u . Y o u n o w declare, in effect that I hold m y individual property a n d rights not a s other m e n hold theirs, DUt o n l y a t the peril of your letting loose irrevocably after five o'clock your order upon me. If this is true of this c o m p a n y and of m e it is true of all men and companies. If so, y o n a n d y o u r secret order are the law, a n d an American citizen is such o n l y in name. Already, for weolcs, your order has, in y o u r attack- upon this c o m p a n y , n o t hesitated to disable it b y violence" from rendering its d u t y t o t h e public and from g i v i n g work and p a y i n g wages to m e n a t least three times your o w n number, who, working as t h e y were b y y o u r side, were a t least deserving of y o u r s y m p a t h y . "Having pushed this violence b e y o n d e v e n tbe greatoforbearance of the public, a n d fo«nd-4n -this direction cause to hesitate, y o u n o w turnflupon me, and propose t h a t the wrongs y o u nave hitherto inflicted o n tbe public shall n o w culminate in an attack upon an individual. In this, as I h a v e said, the real issue is b e t w e e n y o u and t h e laws of the land. It m a y be, before y o u are through, those l a w s will efficiently advise y o u that even I, a s an individual citizen, a m n o t b e y o n d their care.

BT. CLOUD, Minn., April 16.—9o far from being e x a g g e r a t e d , it is curtain t h a t t h e first reports of the horrible work of Wednesd a y ' s cyclone did n o t reach the full measure of the c a l a m i t y . I t is now known t h a t fifty-eight people" h a v e been kilJtxi—via., thirteen a t St, Cloud, thirty-threo a t Sauk Rapida a n d twelve on the road t o Rico's. At least one hundred more are still on t h e list of iujured, and some, it is certain, will only be removed from t h a t list t o be added t o the roll of the dead. All of t h a t portion of t h e village of S t . Cloud northwest of the bridge presents a scene of a l m o s t t o t a l obliteration. Whore were the scenes of uctive business, to-day horror and t o t a l destruction reign supreme. T h e line passenger a n d freight d e p o t of the Northern Pacific rnilroad lies piled up, a huge m a s s of ground-up lumber. The school house w a s rent into the finest, pieces imaginable b y the destroyer, and, like nil the buildings in t h e line of t h e s t o r m , i s f;ir beyond repair. F o r t u n a t e l y school had been udjourued for vucation last Friday, a n d no o n e w a s in t h e building a t the time. The court-lMAUso is a conglomeration of building material fully ten fe,et deep, which is being ra»p'dly cleared a w a y by the workmen. Nearly* all the records a r e saved intact in the vaults, except a few t h a t were lying loose in t h e building and in use a t the time the cyclone paused through. I t w a s here t h a t tin? county a u d i t o r and register of deeds were killed while working a t their post of d u t y . Sheriff Quinn is working hard with a posse of men t o secure the property belonging t o the county. J u d g e of P r o b a t e Beaupre received a wound upon his skull in the fall of this building, b u t he will probably live. Thejstorm seemed t o have caused the building t o collnpse, covering all t h a t w a s in it a t t h e time beneath its dreadful weight. T h e buildings did n o t take fire, or t h e loss of life a n d the d a m a g e t o property would h a v e been much greater. Sauk Rapidd is a sickening sight. T h e s t o r m lirst struck J. A. S t a n t o n ' s large flouring mill and warehouse, completely demolishing aud razing it to the ground. All t h a t remains t o show w h a t was onco the pride of the v i l f a g e s t o o d in a shapeless niaes oJ splinters strewn in every direction. B a r r e l of flour a n d sacks of w h e a t lie a s they fell, hurled t o a groat distance. One- •half of the fiife w a g o n bridge across t h e Mississippi w a s hurled from its piers, a n d all t h a t remains is a mass of twisted iron rods and a few timbers. C o a t s it Duckmiin's lumber y a r d waa next struck. T h e lumber and timbers were twisted in pieces. Their Haw-mill escaped. The black m a s s of earth, water and debris next t o o k thirteen freight curs from the track. All t h a t remains of five of them is a pile of naked trucks lying some distance, a w a y . One car was carried bodily forty feet. The telegraph poles were twisted' t o splinters. T h e swath mown -is eighty rods w i d e . / i T h e bank w a s the onry-building left s t a n d i n g and the t o p was taken off from t h a t . Seven business blocks were t o t a l l y demolished. Set utter h a s been the wrecking of the town t h a t it is believed here t h a t i t will n o t be rebuilt. The courso of the cyclone after l e a v i n g Sa«ik'Kapids w a s northeasterly t h r o u g h the t o w n s of Wartub, L o n g o l a a n d Bucknitin, the latter being in Morrison C o u n t y . Reports from this section of t h e c o u n t r y are very meager, but enough is Learned t o show t h a t death and doHtrTTctTon marks the course of the cyclone. T h e fine farm buildings of Senator C. B u c k m a n were completely d e m o l i s h e d — a n d o n e man— j nams- n o t learned—reported killed. In L o n g o l a , the house of J o h n Wheeler w a s destroyed. T h e family escaped.by running a w a y . In 6he san.e vicinity the house of J a m e s McCuIloch w a s blown a w a y . I n B u c k m a n t o w n the house of A u g u s t Delmore waa demolished, a n d t h e whole family, including several children, is reported killed by a farmer coining from t h a t vicinity. Seeus ' E s t y , of Wartub town, nine miles from Sauk Rapids, saw the approaching s t o r m a n d g o t all of his family into a root-house underground, b u t the cyclone passed b y close u t hand without injuring h i s property. Tire sign on tho Sauk Rapids depot was carried a b o n t fourteen miles and found near Rice S t a t i o n . The rumor of the destruction of a wedding party near Rice s t a t i o n forms o n e of the saddest features of the wholesale destruction of life and property wrought In this section. T h e party w a s assembled a t the residence of J o h n Sehulz, a farmer, t o celebrate the wedding of his daughter, Mamie, a n d t h e ceremony w a s performed a b o u t o n e o'clock, b y -Rev. (iuatavus Smith. The afternoon w a s spent in social enjoyment, a n d a t four o'clock the party, only a few guests having departed, gathered a b o u t t h e wedding feast. I t \ w a s a h a p p y p a r t y of nearly thirty people celebrating^tbe bridal festivities for t h e .Javorite d a u g h t e r of t h e house. T h e p y t l o n e came, and in t h e space o f ^ n v e minutes the house w a s convefted into kindling- t w o o d a n d scattered all o v e r t h e farm. The nuptujJ^vuinds were distributee: over severaL-ifcres, and of the happy party o p a few minutes before eight were orpses and m a n y others injured, several of whom will die. There was n o t a buildi n g left in which the few survivors could care for t h o s e n o t p a s t help. T h e brideg r o o m waa killed outright, b u t the bride was only injured." Mrs. J.

Not a Hospital, but a pleasant Remedial Home, organized with A FULL STAFF OF EIGHTEEN PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS, And exclusively devoted to the treatment of all Chronic Diseases. Thl« impoBlnjr Establishment was designed and erected t o aocommodate the large number of invalids who visit Buffalo from every State and Territory, as well as froin many foreign lands, that they may avail themselves of the professional servioee of the stall of skilled specialists in medicine and surgery that compose tho Faculty of this wideiy-oelebrated institution* N O T ALWAYS NECESSARY TO S E E P A T I E N T S . By our original system of diagnosis, we can treat many chronic diseases just as successfully without as with a personal consultation. While we are always glad to see our patients, and become acquainted with them, show them our institutions, and familiarize them with our system of treatment, yet we have not seen one person in five hundred whom we have cured. The perfect accuracy with which scientists are enabled to deduce the most minute particulars in their several departments, appears almost miraculous, if we view it in the light of the early ages. Take, for example, the electro-magnetic telegraph, the greatest invention of the age. Is it not a marvelous degree of accuracy which enables an operator to exactly locate a fracture in a submarine cable nearly three thousand miles long ? Our venerable ** clerk of the weather" has become so thoroughly familiar with the most wayward elements of nature that he can accurately predict their movements. H e c a n Bit in Washington and foretell what the weather will be in Florida or New York as well as if several hundred miles did not intervene between him and the places named. And so in all departments of modern science, what is required is tbe knowledge of certain • tignft. From these scientists deduce accurate conulBNS DF elusions regardless of distance. So, also, in ITU cal scionce, diseases have ccptain unmistakable signs, or symptoms, and by reason of thls-fact, we have been enabled to originate and^perfect a system of determining, with the greatest accuracy, the nature of chronic diseases, without* seeing and personally examining our patients. In recognizing diseases without m personal examination of the patient, we elaira to possess no miraculous powers. We obtain our knowledge of the patient's disease by the practical application, to the practice of nH'd> cine, of well-established principles of modern science. And it is to the accuracy with which this system has endowed 11s that we owe our almost world-wide reputation of skillfjuhy treating lingering or chronic affections. This system or practice, and the marvelous success which oas been attained through it, demonstrate the fact that diseases display certain phenomena, which, being subjected to scient+flc analysis, furnish abundant and unmistakable data, to guide the Judgment of the skillful practitioner aright in determining the nature ssT disensed- conditions. The most ample resources for treating UngerrfTg or chronic diseases, and tho greatest skill, are thus pTararwithin the easy reach of every invalid. However distant he^ofshe may reside from the physicians making the treatmentj& f'Buch affections a specialty.

The study and practice of chemical analysis and microscopical examination of the urine in our consideration of cases, with reference to correct diagnosis, in which our institution long ago became famous, has naturally led to a very extensive practice In diseases of the urinary organs. Probably no other Institution in the world has been so largely patronizixi by suffers from this class of maladies as tho old and world-famed World's Dispensary and Invalids' Hotel. Our specialists havo acquired, through a vast and varied experience, great expertness in determining the exact nature of each case, and, hence, have been successful in nicely adapting their remedies for tho cure of each individual case. I _ These delicate diseases should be carefully treated RallTinN by a specialist thoroughly familiar with them, and www n u n . w n o jg competent to ascertain the exact condition mmm^i^^tm^ jyjd stage of advancement which the disease has made (which can only bo ascertained by a careful chemical and microscopical examination of tho urine), for medicines which are curative In one stage or condition are known to do po*i*ie« injury in others. Wc have never, therefore, attempted to put up anything for general sale through druggists, recommending to cure these diseases, although possessing very superior remedies, knowing full well from an extensive experience that the only safe and successful course is to carefully determine the disease and its progress in each case by a chemical and microscopical examination of the urine, and then adapt our medicines to tho exact stage of the disease and condition of our patient. To this wise course of action we attribute the marvelous success attained by our specialists in that important and extensive Department of our institutions devoted exclusively to tho treatment of diseases of the kidneys and bladder. The treatment of diseases of the urinary organs having constituted a leading branch of our practice at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, and, being in constant receipt of numerous inquiries for a complete work on tho nature and curability of these maladies, written in astylfrto be easily understood, we tan lished a large Illustrated Treatise on these diseases, which wul be sent to any address on receipt of ton cents in postage stamps.

To those acquainted with our institutkms, it is hardly necessary to say that the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institwte, with the branch establishment located at No. 3 New Oxford Street, London, England, have, for many years, enjoyed the distinction of being the most largely patronized and widely celebrated institutions h» the world for the treatment and cure of those affections which arise from youthful indiscretions and pernicious, solitary practices We, many years ago, established a special Department for the treatment of these diseases, under the management of soma* of the. most skillful physicians and surgeons on our Staff, in order that all who apply to us might receive all the advantages ef a full Council of the most experienced specialists. We offer no apology for devoting so much attention to this neglected class of diseases, behoving no condition of humanity is too wretched t o merit the sympathy and best service* of the noble profession to which w o belong. Many who suffer from these terrible diseases contract them Innocently. Why any medical man, intent on doing good and alleviating suffering, should shun such cases, we cannot imagine. Why any one should consider it otherwise than most honorable to cure the worst cases of these diseases, we cannot understand: and yet of all the other maladies which afflict mankind there is probably none about which physicians in general practice know so little. ^ We shall, therefore, continue, as heretofore, to treat with our best consideration, sympathy, and skill, all applicants who are suffering from any of these delicate diseases.

EDITOR DISPATCH:—Permit me briefly to call attention to a matter vitally affecting the future of our village. Notices have been posted for a special school meeting on Wednesday evening next to vote on the proposi lion, of handing the .school district in the sum of six thousand dollars for building and furnishing a new school house. As to the need of such a building, I need waste no time in urging that, for all must admit it. But objections will be urged against the project; 1st, as to the amount of bonds; 2d, as to location; 3d, that the time is « o t propitious. ' As to the first objaction, 1 would urgt» that th'at the sum named in the notice seemed to meet the approval of the conservative majority!of tax-payers in the village. While there are a few *vho would advocate bonding the district to a burdeusome extent to erect a building tor "ornament,1' and perhaps a somewhat larger number who would favor the erection of a. building entirely inadequate to tne wants of the district, yet I cannot believe that any one of our intelligent citizens will after candid consideration deliberately vote to defeat so important a project on account of the difference tfcat could .be reasonably made one way or the • other from the sum named. , As to location the present proposir ;'tion contemplates no change except to •procure additional ground adjoining, which it is known can be had at very moderade o s t . It is evident/from past experience that any effort to change the site would envolve.a profitless controversy. Such a change, too, though it might present some advantages, is certainly not essential. Now as to the third objection. We all know with what a soothing charm the idea of procrastination appaals to us when we have an/unwelcome duty to perform—ar*d to assume a burden of taxation (be it for what purpose it may) seems seldom otherwise than unwelcome. But procrastination, with all its seductive charms, is a deceiver; for it is not only the ''thief of time," a< the old acjage calls it, but is often the thief of opportunity as well. In several ways it might prove such in the present instance. Let us see. Never during the past quarter of a centur/ could school district bonds have been funded at so low a raU of interest as no/W.

Rose of rftockbrid^e informed us sometime ago, that in doghood he was quite intimate with John Okemos they being boys together. He also informed us that when this old Indian family were once traveling along the trial road, a sister of John and daughter of the old chief, died on what is known as Jesse Rose's corner in Lyndon, and the family buried her at a spot between the house and where the new barn now stands-^hiyears after it was their custonrto camp near the spot. SPRING FOR 25 years to come will oocur another opportunity so favorable? Building material and labor are both as low in price as we can ever expect to .see them. So far as to economy then, the time is_opportuner -Now, will a new school house do our village any good? I hardly think we will hear anybody BRIGHTON SAYINGSFrom tfae Citizens. Ten pupils who attended our union school last fall and winter, have riceived certificates from the county board of examiners and all but one or two will teach in the country during the spring and.iall. It the pupils attend regularly and work faithfully and the teachers do their, part, there is no reasen why our school should not stand equal to any in the county. Without laying any claim to moral or religilou* principles, but sticking to the old motto,— not very philanthropic —"every min for himself and the devil take the hindmost," we will venture to lay down this principle; that any person having a family dependent upon what he earns from day to day, who will squander for drink, c>r risk at a game of chance what should pu'rchas for his wife and children the necessitie and comforts of life, is almost a fool; in fact, he is a little off. answer "no" to this question.

The germ appeals to the average mind: it is sometning tangible; it may be hunted down, captured, colored and looked atNthrougli a microscope, and then, in all its varieties, it can be held directly responsible for so much damage.

A gentleman recently established in business in Paris, and formerly an om- - cer in the United^States arm^ during the civil war, told me the following story: He was with his regiment on duty in (I think) Tennessee, and was informed one day that tie newly-appointed commiinder of that division of the army was to aYrTve-that day, and Would take possession of his command the next morning. Early on the followi n g morning the officer chanced to be standing oh the bank of a stream near where the forces were encamped, when he saw on the other side of the water a •andy-bearded man on horseback, with a_d|^r1n;tweejr5t5n deavoring to force his horse to cross a narrow wooden bridge tha>was thrown across the stream. The bridge had no railings, and the^fonks were slippery with frost, sa that the passage presented a certain amount of danger. The officer called to the stranger not to cross. He still persisted in trying to induce Ftfclwse to go over the bridge, when *jbt••.'other, waxing wroth at his obshouted: "Turn back, you— live—fool! Do you want to get ducked, or get drowned? Don't you see that the bridge is as slippery as gloss?" The stranger, who wore a /^•joinmon blue army overcoat, raised his OOjt turned around and galloped away, Wmt was the officer's horror a few boors later, when, at the review of the troops by their new commander he recognized in the stranger General _ Grant. At the close of the review the sent for him and gravely adhim as follows: "You are the , who prevented me from venturthe bridge this morning, Colonel X , are you notP" An affirmative response was given with a sinking heart "I wished to tell yon that I am •ery much obliged to you.

"The general executive board of the order attempted to settle the trouble and restore harmony.

It requires no eloquence or rhetor.c to plead the cause of these suffering people. They require aid, aud it becomes our d u t y to extend t h a t aid as quickly as it is possible for us to do so. b«nd every dollar you can spare to the general secretary and treasurer, who will a t once forward it to the men at St. Louis for distribution.

Act at once. Another appeal may be sent to you, and we ask of you to prepare for it now. We must bo judged by our actions in this matter. Do not pass resolutions condemni n g capital, for we are not fighting capital. Do not antagonize the contest we have before us. Let us make a friend of every man who has suffered through monopoly.

ST. LOUIS, April 17.—Mr.Jioxu* luafc evening sent a reply t o the citizens' committee appointed a t the court-house masa-meeting Tuesday n i g h t and it will undoubtedly throw cold water on the proposed conference. Tho resolutions provided for t h e appointment of a committee of nine citizens of St. Louis, three from the resident directors of the railways, three from theresident labor interests, present or recent employee of the railroads, t o be selected by the unemployed, and three discreet and recognised representatives of the mercantile^ manufacturing %fid professional elements of the city, in nowise connected or interested with tho railway or labor organization, who shall bo authorized by their respective interests t o meet, confer and arrange, with binding effect, the exintiikg troubles. The reason given for the desirability of such a committee was t h a t thetrade and commerce of the city of St. Louis and the inter-State commerce-1 through St. Louis to and from all of t h e t r a d e points of the Missouri Pacific and pi the St. Louis, Iron Mountain cfe Southern railway has been for ovor u, month and »• still obstructed, with no immediate sign. of said roudu complying with, or being ablojjto comply with, their duty t o the public as common carrierB. In his reply Mr. Hoxie declares t h a t t h e railways constituting the Southwestern system are now in full operation, and-were^ in fact a t the time the resolution was presented by t h e managers of t h a t meeting for the approval of the citizens there present. This being the «iae the need of a resumption of traffic a m not be urged as a reason for the appointment of the committee. The action of such a committeewould necessarily relate entirely t o themethods by which the ex-tvnployes m i g h t bo'restored t o the places they voluntarily abandoned; Mr. Hoxie regrets that, after the railway company has tailored earnestly a n d with success t o bring a b o u t a resumption of traffic, there-should be sent broadcast over the land by the citizens taking p a r t >n,sthe meeting of the 13th inst. a statement regarding the obstruction of traffic over twoof the principal roads entering t h e city which he is satisfied the great body of t h e business men would decline t o indorse. Mr. Hoxie continues: "Whatever may have been the difficulties for solution last month in relation t o the resumption of traffic they do not exist to-day. The railWay companies as one party are expending their time, energies, and money to keep open the avenues of commerce for the public benefit, and aresucceeding in so doing, and are solvent citizens amenable as such through the courts to the State and to individuals.

The majority report, eigncd by three Republicans, is long, and is accompanied by 800 pages of evidence, the imp o r t a n t points of which aje' cited to show t h a t while none of t h o ' m e m b e r s of the present General Assembly have been conclusively impeached, a case has been made a s t o the corjtipt methods, and the testimony fulhvjUBtilies t h a t it bo certified a t once to>he United States Senate for action by ^tfiat body in considering Senator Payne's right t o his seat. -^ The majority report is somewhat sensational and h n s caused a great stir, especially the evidence of Hale, who told of entering J .

H u n t i n g t o n has been regarded as the purser of the alleged Payne fund.

By the conditions of tho measures purchase would be made through the issues of £180,000.000 sterling already authorized, for which three per c e n t stock would be issued, at its par value. These new Irish consols might,' with the consent of the treasury, be , communicated for stock of lower denominations. If, however, it was found inexpedient to issue the proposed stock forthwith, scrip of equal value could be issued. The object o r purpose of the act was to give to landlords an opinion to- sell o u t The authority of the State acting between peasant and landlord would purchase the land and put the peasant in possession a s an absolute proprietor subject only to the rent charge until the final payment of t h e purchase money had been made. The State would also have the power to decidewhether the expropriation of landlordsshould or should not be compulsory. The land commission would be empowered to refuse applications. ~ The basis of prices would depend upen the rental for a fixed period. Twenty years' rental would be a nominal purchase; in exceptional cases twenty-two years' rental would make* a purchase. Applications for sale would n o t be received after March 1, 1890. T e a million pounds of the stock would be issued - d u r i n g 1887, £20,000,000 in 1883, and £20,000,- 000 in 1889. ^ ' Tho charge upon the Irish e x c h e q u e r would be £2,000,000 a year, to meet which it would be able to levy for rents amounting, to £2,500,000 a year, and this sum would be the first charge on the rents and taxes raised by the Irish government Adding to this the Imperial contribution, t h e B U , m u Paid to England by Ireland, wofuld be £6,242 000 a year, secured on a revenue amounting t o £10,850,000» no portion of which would be ap»<>i p j f t d t o a n y purpose until £6,000,000 w a a W paid into the English exchequer.

He was a homeless raanrfndeed, but not a vagabond, business had brought him to Pillowville, and after eating supper at the tavern he had wandered about the drowsy streets of the town, until, through the window of a low-set, modest dwelling, he caught a glimpse of -a group around a table. At the table sat a pretty girl, who was evidently affording excellent entertainment to an elderly woman, an old man, and a gawk of a boy. Although the gentleman without could not hear the words she spoke, he could well see her bright eye and the smiles she brought to the faces of those who listened to her with fond eagerness. She was telling a story, gesticulating in a graceful fashion, and turning her head from side to side like a bira. The old man, who iradra flowing white beard, leaned toward her, putting his opened hand behind his ear so that he should not lose a syllable of her sprightly talk, and the gentleman outside stepped on t.hn porch t.h» better to see the girl's winsome face. The ^ gawk of a boy began to grin, displaying large teeth stranded on a reef of red gum; the old man lay back in his arm chair in exquisite delight, and the the elderly woman laughed so that her ample bosom shook.* She was very fat, and she pressed her hand to her side as though it ached from too much mirth. Suddenly she rose, and before the gentleman on the porch could beat a retreat she had opened the door. " I thought I heard somebody here,1 ' she said with great good humor.

The guest assured her that be was not hungry; he had just supped at the tavern. "So you knew Henry," said old Mr. Brown, reflectively. " Out West, I guess. Leadvillei likely. Did ydu ever have any thing to do with the Maria m i n e ? " Mr. Gray's face brightened^ then clouded over. " I did, indeed," he answered. "And lost something, I'll bet a cooky," cried Mr. Brown, in glee. "Henry lost every cent he had, and it was the death of him, too. He didn't owe you any t h i n ? ?

"He's been dead—lemme see—it must be nigh onto four year." "Four years next m o n t h , " put in the girl softly. She was helping her aunt to clear the table, and the stranger's eyes followed her trim figure as it flitted to and from a cupboard. "Did you have any thing in particular to say to poor Henry?" Mrs. Brown asked, pausing with a salt cellar in one hand, a vinegar cruet in the other. v "No, I happened to be here, and I thought I w o u l d look .him up. I l i a d s rattier lost sight of him." " W e have all lost sight of him," said the old man, solemnly, "but, 1 guess I'll see him afore long. I am 'most eighty, sir."

Mr. Gray scorned at a loss for words. The young girl drew nearer to him and said: " I had not seen my father for a year before he died, and he died away from home. Tell me something about him." A flush of shame flamed up in the gentleman's face as ho looked into her beseeching eyt's. " I don't know what to tell you." he said, gently. "Henrv was alwavs unlnckv." Mr. Brown remarked. "First he invented a patent tack hammer, and then he was a book ag^ent for a spell—You a book a^ent?" he asked, suddenly turning to his guest. "J am a lawyer." "Oh, a lawyer." Mr. Brown stroked his beard. ''Well, Henry wa'n't a lawyer, but he was pretty much every thing else. ' T w a ' n ' t no use, though. H e was the youngest and smartest of us all—there was six of us boys—and he just went ahead, losing money the cheerfulest of anybody I ever see. Soon as he got any he got rid of it right of. He was a lovable fellow, had a friend on every corner,but too confiding. When he hadn't any thing else to do, he'd indorse; it gave him pleasure to go on paper. Then at one time he re'lly was quite rich"—here the old man rose in sudden wrath—"and he went and lent four thousand dollars to the meanest scamp on the faceo' the earth, and he "didn't bother about security, either.

The old man sank back in his chair. "Then you know a darned scoundrel," he muttered. His wife looked at him, reproachfull}', which roused his ire. "Yes, sir, a darned scoundrel," he shouted. "He rich, rolling in wealth, and Hattie ain't got a penny, and it was her father who gave him a start, and if he had any gizzard he'd pay her the four thousand dollars her father loaned him—loaned him! Give him: He knows we're all poor, but what does ho care if some folks up here in Pillowville have to scrimp and save long as he has got all he wants! He is a scoundrel, and you can tell him I said so." He looked at his guest whose eyes were shining bright. " 1 will tell h i m , " he said, hotly, "and I will tell him I agree with y o u .

"Come in," c r i e d ' o u t the portly man, and dropping his oval brusher he turned to greet TiU caller. "Well, White, what brings you here so early?" And the caller, who had been Grayin Pillowville and was White in New York, answered straightway: "The money you owe to a dead man, Tom H a l l o w / ' Mr. Hallow's heavy iaw fell. " I t ' s come at last,*' he exclaimed. " I always knew you would end in a lunatic asylum." "Henry Brown is JJdead," Mr. Gray- White continued, taking no notice ot this, " a n d his daughter is penniless. If you want me to think that you are a gentleman you will send her a check to-morrow for the 84.000—aye! and the interest on it—that her father lent you when you were poor."

The gentleman witlrthe fading name shrugged his shouiders. "This will be a pretty dish to set before the queen," he said. . H e was about to leave, but he was called back. "Ah, hold on, Don Quixote, what the deuce does all this mean? You pounce on me and abuse me before the sleep is out of m y eyes. I had forgotten all about Brown; I never knew he had a daughter. If he had lived I would have paid him the monev soon as I was fairly on my feet, and he would have muddled it away in tom-fool speculation, too. Don't go off in a huff. Come breakfast with me and we Avill look into this m a t t e r over a bottle of white wine." His guest hesitated and fingered the door-knob irresolutely. It was well that the other could not see his face, for it wore an expression of mingled scorn and disgust. He conquered his repugnance, however, and presently accompanied Mr. Hallow down Fifth avenue. It was Sunday morning. Early for men who had been to a stag dinner the night before—late for those who were going to church with-wives and daughters. In Delmonico's breakfasts were dawdled over by lonely, languid gentlemen, but those two talked earnestly across corner table, a bottle of wine and sundry pretty little kickshaws between them. When they parted they shook hands. "Now you see I am not such a lowbred s c a m p , " said Mr. Hallow expansively. "I'll fix it up brown this week, ha? ha! ha! .Yes, and I' 11 write the brown maiden the softest letter she ever read, unless she has a, sweetheart She's a fetching lass, isn't she, old m a n ?

" " W e have all lost sight of him," echoed Mr. Gray-White'with a soft laugh. Then he sauntered away alone and entered a fashionable club, where he stared blankly out of a window until he was accosted. "Morning, White. Saw you breakfasting with Hallow. I hear he's going to marry Jim Morton's widow. A far-away cousin of yours, isn't she?" "Yes, anti a deal too good for h i m . " "Oh, Tom Hallow isn't a bad sort, and he is going up like a rocket.

"He will get in if I am any mortal u^,'1'' said Mr. Gray-White, strolling away. t "There is a queer streak in all those Greenville Whites," his quondam companion remarked to a bystander. "An uncommonly white streak," was the would-be witty response. On the last day of that week Mr. Gray-White paid a visit to Mr. Hallow, who triumphantly produced a letter signed "Hattie Brown," and he chuckled unctuously as his caller walked off with the missive in his pocke t Mr. Gray-White read the letter again when he was in his lonesome bachelor room. * I t was not elusive. She accepted Mr. Hallow's apologies for not having remembered the trifling obligation before—there were inverted commas m a r k i n g the words "trifling obligation," and that brought an appreciative smile to the r e a d e r ' s lips., She thanked him for the assurance of his warm regard for her father, the money was very welcome, and sho was his respectfully.

Brown was there, so was her old husband and her gawk of a boy, but next to t h e pretty girl sat a good-Jookingyoung man, who passed her the butter with a melting glance. He gazed fondly at her and she gazed fondly at him. He stole her piece of bread, whereupon she stole a shred of smoked beef from his plate arid laughed aloud in glee. The gentleman with the fading name went back slowly to the tavern and sat on the piazza, smoking far into the n i g h t After breakfast the next morning he was reminded that it was once more Sunday by the ringing of the church bells. He saw a trim figure hasten past the hotel, a bright ribbon floating out behind on the autumn air, and he followed the flouting, beckoning ribbon. The wearer of it vanished in a red brick church, which lie entered, too, seating himself in a dark corner. The oagan pealed forth its music, the choir chanted the anthem, a thin,, sweet soprano voice rejoicing in the strength of our salvation a little above the others. When the service was at an end and the congregation surged out to the vestibule, where holy threads are dropped and profane ones picked up, a prosperous dame said: " I am afraid we shall lose our soprano. She is to be married to.- fife young man who lately opened that grocer shop in Clover street.

L. NEWKIRK, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER Hnckney, Mich., Thursday .'.". April 39, 1888 KOWELL COMMENTS. From the Republican. Kellogg, Garland & Co., think of starting another branch store and have Milan, Monroe county, in view. Vie Hackley, a colord young man, whose parents reside here, died in Detroit last Thursday trom an abscess. He was janitor of the late Michigan house ot representatives. The Michigan hedare company are beginning the work this week of setting out one-half million plants in Livingston county. These plants will make 45 miles of hedge which undoubtedly will be doubled by the sales of another season. The Howell Wagon Go. has its first made wagon on display, [t is pronoudced a superior vehicle in every respect by competent judges. None but the verv best timber enters into their manufacture and their finish and style is unexcelled. The engine was out Saturday afternoon to extinguish a fire at Perley SkilbecVs livery. A pile of straw at the rear end of the barn caught fire and v created considerable consternation.for. a time. It was subdued before;any damage had been accomplished". Thursday afternoon last while playing about a bonfire a little ten-year old girl of VVm. Norris, who lives on Sibley street, was most h o i r i b l y a n d dangerously burned. Her clothes caught fire and before they could be extinguised her limbs were burned to a crisp and fcer hair singed, her garments being entirely consumed • up to the wai^t. She is under the care of Dr. VVes.sin*er. who pronounces her Case most painfu -and critacal. 4 Bad as they need money th° HKPUHLICAN publishers will give ten good healthy dollars to know the name ot tne fiend incarnate who stole a good single-strap harness from—them oni> night last week.

Campbell, a vacation for much needed rest, rendered nece.s- A&ry by the long continued care ot his sick wife, and the great affliction experienced in her death. This aciiori / of the Official Board was % deemed al) ^—tire>more just because of his constant ' attention to his pulpit duties for newly four months, while the dark cloud was hanging over him.

Judson Bros, took in one thousand dozen eggs last wee£. They have nearly averaged that number for the last four weeks. _ AJABRIED—At the home of the bride's r mother, Mrs. James Durfee, by Rev. Jesss Lee, oh Monday evening, April 19, Miss Lina E* Van Wort and Mr. Charles E. Durfee, both of Brighton. Several of the boys put in a pretty tough night at the time of the big storm thinking they were making fifty cents an hour. When the railroad company paid them off this week the fifty dwindled down to fifteen, about $1.50 for a night's work in the blinding storm. We do not know how the boys got such a mistaken idea. John Jones is a common name, but in Brighton it does not represent an ordinary citizen. Whatever bis views may be as to the best means of suppressing drunkenness, he is certainly in favOi* of doing his duty as village marshal. The effects of his determination were visable last Sunday. He is putting in some work while the great majority are doing a large amount of talking. FOWLERVILLE SAYINGS. From the Kevlevr. L S. and 0 . Palmerton have rented the plaining mill of L.

M N I ^ ^ I BIRKETT,COWENXCO., THE LOMBARDY POPLAR. A T N t Thnt la MOM'V Thoroughly Admired by Soma nivd I)enpUeil by OHUMS, There Ii probnbly'no tree Jiiore thoiv ooghly admired and detesicd than the Lombardy poplar. Most landscape gardeners would be glad if the tree did not exist, for while tlie artist may handle il to advantage, the novice is apt to make a bungling use of i t Among farmers the tree is popular; its rapid growth and strongly marked upright habit are attractive features. After much study of this tree in many places, I am prepared to take a position between the extreme professional gardener and the general planter. 1 ivgree With the gard ner that it is by no means a suitable tree for ordinary yards, or for continuous linos of shade trees, to be stretched for miles niong a highway.. It is not a tree for low grounds or for clumps in level pastures. In all these places it is too formal 01 out of keeping. But on hills, especially whar* seen from a distance, no tree ii more picturesque than this. It.is a tlila Worth remembering that high tives are suitable for high places, aud low trees or bushes for low places. Of high trees none give such an exaggerated idea o\ height as the Lombardy poplar. If 1 had a hill on my farm I should plant a clump of these trees upon it A few Lombard es near a long building serve to relieve the monotony, while at the same time their rigid and formal outlines are in entire harmony with the" building. We all admire the pictures Dt long Italian palace•* which are planted amid Lombardy poplars. If the barn is on an eminence, plant live or six of these trees bes'de it. A smtill group of these trees in the distance '>e> yond a water scene is also desiiaMc to give spirit to the levol fore-ground, especially if the surrounding coujitry. ii level. Landscape gardeners usually discourage the setting of trees in rows. • Sitch an arrangement is too stirt", too much at vari»ne« with nature, and aii'ords too little variety to give the highest pleasure to the beholder. If trees must be fset in rows, however, I know of no better speeies for the purpose than tlie Lombardy poplar, provided the rows be not too long. Be'ng itself a forma! object, it appears to good advantage in formal surroundings. —Along a roaeis.de, on elevated ground, a row of Lombard eg ten to twenty rods lon^ is often deslable. -It is ahvary-atmrmtntrrnrtrrplrrnT "too many l.ombardies. . They should not be planted everywhere or in-great obiiudauce. Indeed, it is only when they are inlivduee 1 sparingly into a *cene that the/ are lo be tolerated. Objects! so alike n appearance as are th'^ diilerenL individuals of Lombardy poplars soon wenvxJiiu vye it they a?e seen in abundance. One or two tree? in n. landscape are always better than a hundred. On • tree vill often g ve spirit to a whole hind-cap > of lo»vheaded lr 'C<. Tl.cir e "ivf is always best when the are seen n\ m a distance. The gTe.'t'>t iiir.dnnee to the planting of Lombardies, however, is the short life of the tree. In the North, trees often begin die when but. fifteen to twenty years old, and 1 have seen \evy few perfect specimens which had attained to tifty year's. To botanists the Lombardy poplar is known as Pop\\us dilatala, "dilated populus," in allusion to the broad'y triangular leaves. The tree has bean planted long in Lombardy and Southern and Central Europe, but its original home is probably in Persia and the Himalayas.—I/. II. Bailey, Jr., in Gowitry Gentleman. ^ • » • .

A writer in the London Grapkic, referring to the well known fact that new seeds usually germinate more quickly I than old ones, says that many old one! will germinate well with /heat that would perish in cold ground—a factwhich should be borne in mind by those who are testing seeds in warm rooms. Among those which may be kept two MMons are named onions, salsify and twin others, while lettuce, tomatnea • a d artichokes will continue good three •weODi; cabbage, turnips, spinach, kales, &C*. four seasons, and melons cueumbers and beets for five or six seasons. It must, however, be borne in mind that such rules as these are more or le*s arbitrary, as mucli depends on the condition of"~^e seeds and the temperature and dampness of the pTace where they are kept, and on the con- . dition of the soil which receives them, favorable intlnances* sometimes more than doubling their keeping and favoring or preventing germination alto* _ Jfether." Another good authority says: "Many vegetable seeds properly kept, are good to a 'green old age," l o r in» etauoe, beet seed4ms been found good cauliflower two, beans four and over, cabbage four, peas four, &c. Still, new seeds of all but the melons are best if fresh. Especially is it preferable to get them direct from reliable seedmen each year than to trust to those •old on commission at the village store. Before planting any sred, whethel, home grown or from any other source, test each vajier.y before intrusting them to the soil. —In COURtries having marked winter leasone, earthquakes are found to be arqne lrequent in winter than in sum* mer.— N.

TERRIBLE CATASTROPHE. A D»m l l u r t u at Kant I ^ e , Ma**., and Turiw Loose » KajfiiiR Toi-reut WUU'h KwuepHthrough the Town Leaving Death aud Desolation in 1U Wake—Eight Deail BoUlen ltevovered and Other Lives Thought to Have lleen Lout. LKK, Mass., April 21.--Shortly before six o'clock yesterday morning the dam ot the huge mud pond reservoir a t Mountain lake, two and one-half miles from here, gave way, mid within a few minutes a terrible torrent of water . rushed down the valley through the village of F a s t Lee, carrying with it the first news of tho calamity. In tin instant East Lee was inundated by a flood of seething waters six feet deep, on tho top of which were borne great trees, portions: of houses, fences, wagons and other evidences of the destruction wrought in the valley. People lied to the slopes of the valley, along which the torrent was pouring, and saw houses moved and topple a b o u t like chips on a river. The Hood passed Kust Lee and went on down the road, destroying gardens, lawns and fences, and moving the smaller buildings. It is impossible a t present to tell how many lives were lost, but it is thought t h a t the number will exceed twelve. Eight per- .sons tire known to have been drowned or killed by fulling timbers. They are: A. N. White, Mrs. White, Ida White, their daughter; John White, tuoir infant son; Theodore King. Mrs. King, Mrs. Charles King, Simeon t)owd. The channel gullied by the rushing water IB from 5(.1 to 200 feet wide, and while tho evidences of its terrific power are plainest a s t h e pond is .approached, the most serious loss of life and property occurred in East Lee village.

WASHINUTON, April 21. -The spcciul oom* mittoe appointed by the House of Representatives to investigate the labor ditlirultics hi the Southwest commenced i.q>eratioirn yesterdav a t Washington with tho testimony of T. V. Powderly. Mr. l'uwderlv said t h a t the opinion which prevailed t h a t the strike on the Missouri Pacific road was caused by the discharge of a man named Hall was erroneous. The rent causo was the payment Of low vgiges, long hour* Of service, ctg., as ,.»et forth in the bill of grievances recently made public by the Knights of Labor a t St. •Louis. When asked for redress by the meti.V the otticiuls of the company had refused a conference. An other cause was stated t o , be t h a t of the practice of the company of compelling their n a n along the Iron Mountain road, ami along some roads iu Texas, to purchase food and o t h r r itecessnriet* of life from stores owned by the company. Still another was the employment by several branches of the" Missouri Pacific ro>ad of convict**, who were placed a t repairing tracks, the sight being often witnessed «n a convict ia IIM prison stripes and another mini clothed in the garb of an honest laborer workingside by side. Against such a leveling of conditions the honest workman naturally, and with pardonabk> indignation revolted. Mr. Pu A'derly, in reply to a question, said t h a t the 'organization of Knights of Lalxir had for its object the protection oi labor against the exactions-of employers. Its aims were t o secure, if possible by honorable means, a peaceful settlement of all difficulties. It would ever l>* found as ready to punish wrong us it was to akl in redressing it. A settlement by arbitration of all troubles was its chief aim. It h;ul never legislated on boycotting but once, uud t h a t was' t o restrain it. At the request of the committee Mr. Powderly promised t o lay before it a t some future time his views us to what might be done by way of s t a t u t e or constitutional amendment. WASHINGTON, April ^ . - M r . William O. McDowell, of the Knights of Labor, was questionedyesterday by thecomniitteo appointed bv the House to investigate "the - causes of the strike on the Gould roads. In reply to questions he described the objects of ttie Knights of Labor organization in t«rms similar to those used by Mr. Powderly Tuesday. He then detailed the efforts made to settle tho strike by arbitration* and related the interviews between Mr. , Powderly and-himself ou one side and Mr. Gould on the other. „.--Mr. Burns asked the witness if he had a-uy information that Mr; Gould had issued any instructions to Mr/Huxie which were inconsistent with the rej>roseutations Mr, Gould had made to the Knights of Labor representatives in Kew York. The witness/replied that while the KuigbtK of Labor roprosvutatives were on, their way tO/^t. Louis to curry out the arrangements7 for arbitration P, Rockwell, general ruadmasiter of tho Missouri Pacific, k»sued unorder declaring that no man would \>e em{>loyed or retained in tho. employ -rrf-thtrwmpany as-foreman of r.or^iou me-n~ who was a member of the Knights of Labor, and notifying those employed that .they must give up their Knight of Labor cards'. The witness thought Mr. Gould and his subordinates had iu various ways^acted iu bad faith with the representatives of the Knights of Labor in, this controversy. Mr. McDowell was nsked if he thought J a y Gould was fairly disposed during his interviews and dealings with Mr. Powderly. He thought Gould meant to be fair at Jtiie^iartj but it_seeined to tho_ witness that Mr. Iloxio got on his "*~ETgirTnTfseT^rno^ when Mr. Gould found him rebellious on tha agree-ment to arbitrate, in place of making it a j>ositivo order, he turned round and split b.airs_with the committee. In fact, it appeared to the witness tllut Mr. Gould was in a measure controlled by Mr. Hoxie. It was his impression that to Mi>- Hoxie belongs the responsibility of. th& strike. . H Mr. Grain asked witness what was tho original causovof the strike, ami Mr. Mc- Dowell made a long statement, involving the difference between the principles of day work^,and piece work, and quoted Gould as-saying that by making a change of,tAr:i't sor£ in tho Western Union Teleg r a p h Company ho had effected a saving of eighty per'cent. He added that the general cause of this strike and of recent strikes' all over the. country had been the successful strik-1 on tho horsecar lines iu New York last Feb-. ruary. They bad commanded such universal public sympathy that workmen, whenever they had a grievance or wrong, joined together and made applications to form assemblies of Knights of Lalxw. This was so general that the order had increased more in the month of February kist than it had in the prior eight years. As an additional reason he alleged the universal system of watering railroad'stock, which made it necessary for ruilrVad managers t o screw down the rates of labor as m u c h ' as possible. Mr. Grain asked'whnt remedy he ct?«ld suggest for that. Witness replied that the ""TcnTcdy was to enform the law.—The-4aw of every Stato required that dollar for dollar should" be paid for railroad stock; but that provision oE- 4-- law was evaded by the railroad managers forming themselves into n Credit Mobilieror const ruction company nnd issuing to themselves$li)n worth of stock'for every do,ll:\r or ten dollars of work. Ho did not think the system of pooling earnings of railroads had anything to do with it. Neither was it, in his opinion, attributable to tho competition in labor. Asked for his views on the subject of labor competition, Mr. McDowell said that it had been suggested that a conference should take place between representative ID|K' from the labor organizations and i-qprf* sentative men from trade organizations; t h a t they should me:?t and thoroughly discuss the whole subject. Such a discussion as t h a t would bo approached b y railroad men in a different spirit from that which they would manifest in a discussion with insubordinate brakemou. In this way therewould be gathered the wisdom of able ineu who had been thinking over the subject. Mr. Powderly was then recalled and pave a history of the origin of the Knightsof Labor. The organization was intended, ho said, to take in not only tho man whoworked at the bench or tho mine, b u t every man who toiled, by hand or brain, in any honest occupation. * We> left Q»4- one or two bonost occupations — lawyers and bankers— becausewe felt that thoy were fully capable of t u k l n g c a r s of themselves " he said. Saloon- keepers were inolligible as members, a n d if a member should enter tho liquor business after becoming associated w i t i the organization, he was forced to withdraw from the order. In brief it was a go. ciety for the protection af all kinds of peo. pie who toll, regardless of sex, creed, color or religion, and entirely within the law. Its present membership was about 500,000. Women are members of the organisation and are <*n an equal footing with the men. r Stw §itufmey Uisspafofc, J . I * K E W K I R K , E d i t o r »n<| P r o p ' r , )z) a r i N C K N E Y , MICHIGAN.

MY UNCLE'S HOBBY. A T a l e o f S c i e n c e , L o v e a n d I m - p o r t e d I m a g i n a t i o n . " R e g i n a l d , " said my uncle, one morning after breakfast, "Rose d'Agincourt is coming to stay with us tom o r r o w . " I suppose that most young fellows, shut up in a dull country house, with no companions except a scientific uncle a n d a faded aunt, would have been possesselt try extravagant delight upon hearing of the approaching visit of a bright Devonshire maiden. You will ^begin to understand the unnaturalness of my position when 1 tell you that I was not. At my uncle's announcement my heart sank like lead. The fear of his hobby was upon me. " H e r father was a line knightly soul," continued my uncle, " a n d her mother was distinctly a clever woman. General d'Agincourt, her uncle, was The Itan<tsoTa\'st man f. ever snw~. 1 am inclined to waive a certain ancestor in the maternal line, who is reported to have been a valetudinarian and a boref and as to Miss d'AgincourUs great aunt, Lady Somers. who was undoubtedly a creature of weuvklntellect, there is a tnistworthyJ-radition of a fall, in the nursery^-wnich will dispose of the Mipposkion of any hereditary taint.*' _ ^ _ ^ T T K r _ r r n i ^ ; i ^ ^ trnrrhVTt- "".mo. I waited anxiously, but I knew what was coming. Taking his pipe from his lips with that meditative gesture which I knew so well, ho proceeded: " M y researches into the life history of the.i family have been, up oil the whole, satisfactory. I now propose to devote seven ditys'to the analysis of.the young lady herself. At the end of a week, if the r o u l t of my observations points in that direction, 1 shall ask you to propose' to her.*' 1 expected the blow, but it staggered me nevertheless. Argument, 1 knew, would be worse than useless.' "But what is >he like, uncle?" I asked. "Slur will be. as far as I can judge from my present data, of the synthetic order of mind. That is. my hope. ' "What you want in a wife, my dear boy, is synthesis. You're, so confoundedly analytical; you haven't a spark of imagination in your whole composition. That was your poor mother'?: fault." ''But, uncle, I meant what Is s h e l i k e personally?" "She'll be handsome enough foryou, ' "you "yoWg " r o g u e , m i i e T i b i m d . B u t you'll judge for yourself to-morrow. You can take the dog cart down to Cr.ompton station to meet the live o'clock train. To-day is Thursday; on Saturday Week 1 will tell you if you may propose to her." My uncle beamed benignantly, and strolled into the garden.' A* soon as the train arrived, and Miss d'Agincourt stepped from her carriage, 1 began to relent; when I had introduced myself, and heard the music of her replies, 1 began to like her, and when 1 handed her into the dog cart, 1 was in love with her. The rapidity of my subjection amazed me, for although I had always professed to believe in love at tirst sight, 1 had never actually realized tin; possibility of such an event happening to myself. But now I felt like a newly awakened Cymon; my soul suddenly expanded with the most, delicious sensations I had ever experienced, i can not describe her. 1 never c o u l d u n d e r s t a n d how a n y o n e dare attempt to reproduce in words the nameless grace of womanhood. Indeed, to make an inventory of her charms would be misleading, for it was not the aggregate sum of her attractions which rendered her so fascinating, but rather the ever shifting play and variety of their combinations. In a word, she was the most winning young woman I had ever seen. My dear uncle welcomed her with his usual kindliness, mingled with a critical admiration delightful lo behold. His hobby had never produced such fruit before! He was very attentive to her during the evening, and indeed monopolized so much of her conversation that I could not help feeling a little sulky, although I kuew'that his attentions to her were in my own interest. I knew that, while he was playfully drawing out her various tastes and proclivities, he mentally noted them down for his own purposes; and when I heard her quickwitted replies, I was sure that she must be. lindiug favor in his eyes. But he had the true spirit of scientific investigation, and refused to anticipate. When we were left alone at night, and, brimming over with excitement, 1 asked his opinion of her, he only answered: "Well, she seems a sensible girl, and she is certainly a pretty one. She has her father''* eyes. Did I ever tell you the story of Philip d'Agincourt and the French marine-?'' But I was in no mood for listening to my uncle's yarns, and hastily bade him good-nigh t. • During the week Miss d^AglncoTift and I walked and talked and rode and read together, and my life was raised to a. very high pressure. One look from those deep eyes could raise m e , to a state of ecstatic happiness or plunge me into tne~depths of misery. How delightful were such possibilities in comparison with the monotony of my previous existence! Is not love like Captain White's Oriental pickle, " a most delicious—combination of sweets and s o u r s ? " I could not helrr fancving that Rose was "not altogether indifferent to m e , " as modest young men say in novels; but the uncertainty, and the alternations of hope and fear plagued me terribly, and made me nnc o m m o n l y g r a d when the Saturday arriveclou'" which my uncle had promise! to pronounce his verdict. What that verdict would be I had no doubt: would alter the case indeed. But it's impossible. Some moralizing doggerel —eh? Good, solid matter-of-fact,cut into longs and shorts. Ah, my dear Reginald, that isn't poetry!" Now, I was not a little vain of the results of my surreptitious courtship of the Muses, and these remarks chafed me. " I don't mean to say that I have written any thing first rate, but I hope it's better than you suppose." "Well, well," said my uncle, with that kindly incredulous smile of his, "bring your verses to me to-night, and Fll look at them. And now go into the garden and play croquet with Rose."' IV. i Was ever budding poet placed in such a situation? The happiness of my life hung upon the power of my verse. It was with feverish impatience that I opened the desk which held my little store of honey, and sat down to select a sample, for uncle's palate. Dear me, what poor stuff' it'was! Surely I had known Hashes of fancy, a*d experjj enced the poet's frenzy, or could it have been only the frenzy for scribbling? With a sinking heart I chose three or four of my most cherished productions, and took them with me to show to my uncle after dinner. When the ladies had retired, 1 gulped down a glass of claret, and produced the.MS. from my pocket. My uncle took them with a smile which really tried my strong affection for him, promising to look at them before bed time. He had evidently no faith in my poetical genius. Rose was more fascinating that evening than she had ever been before. She sang " M y mother bids me bind my hair" with so sweet a manner that the tears came into my eyes. How I wished that I had expressed myself better in that " O d e to the Great Bear!" And yet I cherished a secret hope of my uncle's conversion. Alas! 1 was doomed to disappointment. " I wouldn't waste any more time over this sort of t h i n g , " said the cruel critic, handing me back my precious MS. " I t ' s not in your line, my boy. Try trigonometry. By the way, my dear,'' he added, T u r n i n g t o my"aTrnt," " I shall be glad if you will drop a note to Woodbird, and ask him to come to us on Tuesday.11 Then I lost ray/temper. I told my uncle that I had sworn bvthe'nine gods to marry Rose d'Agincourt, and t h a t nothing o n / e a r t h should prevent 1113- proposing/fo her, least of a l l a r i d i o u - lous subservience to crotchets that were all moonshine. She was the onlywoman I could ever love, and I would never marry any girl to point a theory or adorn a scientific treatise. " You should not speak of science in that way, my boy," said my uncle, very gravely. " W h e n you are older, you will see matters in another light;" and all my wrath broke in vain upon for my uncle was evidently fascinated by the girl he had undertaken to analyze, a u d i could hardly think that after the first evening he had the heart to dissect her. 11 r. '""'' 'Well; R~e IgTiauT, ^ said n i y - vmeTcT smoking his after-breakfast pipe upon that Saturday morning, "my observations of Rose d'Agincourt were; soon completed. She is a good, honest, sensible and practicable little woman/.' My ears tingled with delight. "Yes. uncle: and von wish me to his placid iront. Before I went to bed that night I was firmly resolved to propose to Rose the next dav, "before that warbling idiot Woodbird comes upon the scene," I muttered to myself. The next morning, however, brought less precipitate counsels. I felt that I could not offend my uncle. Not only was I to some exj. tent dependent upon my guardian, but *Twas dee ply" aftaehed"~foIrim, and I " I don't wish you to do any thing except make yourself civil to the girl so long as she remains here. Of course 1 am rather disappointed that she has turned out so different from what I expected, but we must look elsewhere. I don't mean to say that I regret her visit here, for she is a very pleasant soul to have about .the liouse—a delightful little body. I think we have all enjoyed her c o m p a n y . " " B u t u n c l e , " I gasped, "you said she is so sensible and good, and I am sure she is both. W h a t objection can., there be to her? I think one might go farther and fare worse," I added, with a foolish laugh. •'"'My dear boy," replied my uncle, taking his pipe from his lips and proceeding to mount his hobby, "she is-an excellent woman, an ' admirable woman. She would make a capital wife for-^a- poet or a -novelist, asking Tom Woodbird down to meet her. If 1 could ,marry those two, it would be a beautiful match. Of course I must give up all thoughts of m a t i n g was aware that the only proper course to pursue was to endeavor to alter, his wish. The hobby must be ^attacked. After the pitiful failure of my -poetic — -^ffuskms to alter-his opinion of 1UV7 any further efforts in that direction would be useless. I longed to startle him with some wild and weird lictions of my creative fancy, but found myself quite unable to concoct anv. And so I drifted on irresolutely, until Tuesday came, and brought Tom Woodbird to stay with us. v. Woodbird was not at all of an unpleasant species of poet. He"TuuT not been soured by the vanity >f human wishes any more than ordinary people who art1 unable to pen their aspirations. He did not seen), at all addicted to mooning.Jbut erttered heartily into every thing that was going forward, how matters stood saw my uncle coming towards me with a glow on his-'face that made my heart leap. "Reginald," he said, laying his hand upon my shoulder*, and speaking in an excited way very different from his habitual manner, " g o at once and ask Rose to be your wife; she is in the.conservatory alone. Heaven grant that she may say yes!" What were my feelings do you think? Oh, the joy, the uncertainty, the despondency! If she should refuse me? Ah, now I began to see upon what slight hopes I had built my foolish castle in the air! Never did a man prepare for a surgical operation certain to either kill or cure him with more painful emotions than I went to put my fate to the touch. How it all happened I do not know. From the time at which I entered the conservatory to the time when Rose and I left it together swimming in a dream of mutual happiness, I can only remember distinctly my words: "Do you care for me?" and her precious answer: " Y e s . " We went to my uncle, who blessed u*.;-with tears-in his eyes: there were not three happier individuals in the world. The afternoon glided away in rapture. The hobby was forgotten; and it was not until the evening that I hat! any thought of gratitude to Woodbird, or curiosity as to the reason of my uncle's sudden change of fijont. VI. ','You must give up writing poetry, my'dear, when you're m a r r i e d , " said my uncle to Rose, as we were.taking coffee in-the drawing-room. "Oh, I could never write a line of poetry!" she answered, blushing. "Uncle— for I must always call you uncle— I sec I must make a confession. Will you ever forgive (mo? It was all Mr. Woodbird's doing. Those verses which I showed you this morning were never written by poor me! Did you really think that I could have written them? It was a little conspiracy between Mr. Woodbird and me. He wrote them for the Grosvenor Magazine, and said he wanted a perfectly unbiased opinion of them, so 1 promised to give them to you without telling you who wrote them, but pretending they were_mine, as if I could write poetry! And I didn't tell you, Mr. Woodbird, how pleased he was with them. He said they actually showed—what was it, uncle?—'snythetic imagination?' Oh, you dear uncle, did you really think I had any ' s y i ^ " T i n afraid you will be so disappointed with m e ! " So this.was the secret of my uncle's conversion! X looked at Woodbird, who was sitting with a comical twinkle in his eye, intensely relishing the situation. As for my uncle, his face was a studv. A battle was going on in his heart between the hobby and his affection for Rose and myself. Science and love together puckered up his fiice into the most grotesque complex expression of .Animyancje_and satisfaction. BuJ his kindly nature proved too strong for the resistance of his crotchets, and he submitted. lie rose from his seat, and, going up to Rose, kissed her upon the forehead and said: " 1 shall never be disappointed with you, dear Rose. You have won my heart, as well as Reginald's." And so the hobby was vanquished. When I told Rose the whole story, she was at ti r s~t rat lie r~ c one c r n e d, a t heTinnocent part in the conspiracy: for it appeared to her feminine sensitiveness a cruel thing to deceive my uncle in any thing, and she was not satisfied until he had been informed of Woodbird's wickedness. But my uncle was so pleased with the result that he readily forgave the means by which it had been obtained. <• ur marriage took place after a short engagement, and we have taken up our quarters not far from my old home.

I \v;w convinced of a sneaking tendency to the romantic in my own disposition which would .harmonize ill with his scientific plans for my future, and I shrank from the trouble which I thought was sure to come between us when the time came for the practical working out of his theories. To listen and assent to his learned dissertations upon hrredity was one thing; to marry a girl because the match would dovetail with his principles was quite another. As I drove down to Crompton the next day, I felt that Iliad already conceived a deep aversion for this young lady who had been'selected, as a fitting complement to my existence. This feeling lasted for half an hour. her with a practical fellow like you such a marriage could produce nothing but the commonplace. You have neither of you one iota of imagination. It is a disappointment to me, 1 confess; for, personally. I like the girl very much, and every thing else is in her favor." 1 could restrain myself no longer. " U n c l e , " 1 cried, " I hope you're not serious, because I—I'm in love with her!" ' 1 thought YOU seemed rather smitten,' said mv uncle, with the most aggravating coolness, "but the feeling will soon pass away. As for your being in love with her, even you must see that such a thing is psychologically absurd. You know very well how often I have told you that it is only the at- -traotion—of opposiios which—produce any real and lasting attachment.' Now, there can not possibly be any such attraction between two equally sensible persons, like Rose and you." " I ' m not sensible, uncle; I write poetry."* "What*!" exclaimed my uncle, bonn ing,out of his chair as it' he bad 1 \y w shot. " I s thai true, Reginald? jTha and, when he saw between Rose and me, he most honorably refrained from any poaching upon my preserves. So much was I pleased with this delicacy that I resolved to take him into my confidence. As he t thiu.k of [ .>vas a p o e t a,,being ->of Imagination all compact," he would doul[tlesS'"be"abTe to imagine some scheme for attacking my m u l e ' s hobby. I was not disappointed. It is true that he embraced the situation with an,Olympian roar of lafighter, which somewhat outraged my sympathies, until I remember .the privilege which superior men possess of looking on the humorous side of things, and I did not take offense. He made very light- of the hobby, and promised mo that my uncle should be won over in a few days. " I t is not the first time." he said, "that 1 have done battle with the subjects of Queen Finteleeheia, 'et militavi won sine gloria.' " The allusion to Rabelais was beyond me. but I had learnt enough J^atin at Kton to construe the quotation from Horace, and felt much relieved at having secured so excellent a champion. What his plan of attack was he would not tell me, and he made me promise fa-leave every thing—m his h a m W u n d to wait patiently until the en,emy surrendered.

In his recently published treatise on the anthrcvpoid apes Prof. Hartmann, of the Berlin University, tells a touching storv of a large monkey which belonged to the Zoological Gardens of Dresden; -M^f-uea, u^sluiwa^i-^aiiiedby Hcrr Sehopf, t-hy'director of the gardens, was a personage of polite manners. She would blow her nose with a handkerchief, put \>n her own boots, wring out the linen,^"Tte-al keys and open locks. She had a cup of tea every .morning and one of"cocoa every evening, and at any time would fill her own cup or tumbler without spilling a drop—suggesting at once a sense of propriety and of appreciation qf the beverage. Hei? deafh was quite pathetic. After some years' experience of the climate of Dresden she showed symptoms of consumption; and, if unable to realize the progress of the disease, she was quite conscious when it was drawing to a close. She would scarcely allow her friend. Dr. Sehopf, who nursed her throughout her illness, to leave her sight.

J o h n Bright leaned his elbow on the arm of the red plush chair in which he sat, with a thoughtful look in his dark-blue eyes. / ' W h y , yes, of course.1 ' "By all m e a n s . " . Eugene Carthon and his sister looked eagerly at the handsome blonde in front of them. Tb/oy had been talking -about—the- No^vOjrleansJExpositi^nwhichall hail visited the winter before, and naturally their conversation had drifted into personal reminiscences and criticisms on the ways and manners of/the people of that beautiful Southern citv. ."Did you really have an adventure?" asked Nell, eyeing hiuv qucstioningly from under her long dark lashes. They had intended to meet in the Crescent City, but through some misunderstanding the Carthon family had missed him. Nell had always felt a little aggrieved over this*, just; as if John had "really been to blame in the matter, and an allusion to their sojourn in the •South brought back that vague feeling of disappointment which had mingled itself with all her enjoyments while there. Not that she cared tiny tiling for J o h n Bright. Oh, no; not even to herself did she ever admit that. But then he was Eugene's most intimate friend, and he was such a bright, companionable fellow, how could she help liking him a little? —'-just for Eugene's sake, you know." She sincerely believed that it was her love for her brother that made her so solicitous always for his ftnend/jjj^miLfxuit--a»-d-^o ft«*-iou-s-tom a k e him always feel at home and thoroughly welcome in her father's house. __ _And if .women vvill .deceive themselves so ingeniously in these lixtle matters no one 'can blame them. The reality seems all the prettier when they surprise themselves into the admission one day that brotherly love is not,such a powerful motor after all. "Well, go on with your story," said Eugene, lighting a cigarette, with his sister's permission, and pufling away expectantly. ••I'll b e g e t t i n g drowsy, presently, if you don't wake me up with your thrilling episode." —-"Well-—John twirled his blonde .!>„- mustache reflectively, ignoring the last remark—"I was walking down Canal street one afternoon, wheu it began to rain—" "Remarkable! when it was in the rainy season," interrupted Eugene, who seemed determined not to be led into thinking his friend had met with any extraordinary adventure. "Eugene, do hush!" Nell said, imploringly; but J o h n did not seem to mind his friend's quizzing in the least. "As I said, L-was walking down Canal -street^-when 4t began to rain, not violently, but enough to make a man'feel uncomfortable and the feathers on a woman's bonnet limp. Fortunately I had an umbrella, which of ••course*I immediately raised. J u s t as I did so a young lady came out of one of the large dry-goods stores behind me. She stood irresolute for a moment as though nonplussed by the rain, yet an evident anxiet)- possessing her to reach the car. r ^ s t a n f l y _ l found myself in a Strange dilemma. W h a t should I do? There was a young lady, delicate and beautiful, richly attired in garments which the rain would certainly damago, without the slightest protection from the elements; while I, not three feet distant, was possessed of an umbrella large enough to shelter two. It seemed like a piece of irapertinenc yet on the impulse of tho momeirfT I mustered all my g'allantrv^rtfof, stepping forward, offeredjo^escort'her to •the-car.—*~—~~~^ hesitation in exposing herself to the disastrous effects of the rain." At this juncture Nell, curled up on one end of the sofa with her Kensington in her lap, looked very grave. She could not quite approve or handsome blonde strangers ottering umbrellas to unknown ladies. It might have been the "extreme loveliness" of the Creole belle which made the offense so henious in her eyes, but she would have been shocked' had you suggested such a thing. " W h e n we reached the corner there was no car," J o h n continued. "Being in 'Mardigras' time, there was always more or less delay. When the car did arrive it was so crowded there was not a foothold. The next and next proved to be the same. Unconsciously we walked on, the young lady by almost imperceptible guidance directing our footsteps. We walked along the Rue Royal, quite into the heart of the old French town, the young lady scarcely seeming aware of the fact that we had traversed so many blocks, I was too delighted with her bright conversation and naivete to wish to undeceive her, and so we walked along until she stopped suddenly in front of one of those gloomy French houses, so dreary in exterior appearance, but often beautiful and gay within. A high wall surrounded the dwelling, surmounted by nails driven in so that the points projected upward, a sure safeguard against marauders. As usual, a high balcony graced the front of the house. From the gate—a massive iron-barred one—a stone pave led up to the oldfash ionod door. " 'I feel very grateful,' she said, lifting her big eyes to mine with a shadow of timidity in their depths which made them all the lovlier; 'and,' she hesitated a little, ' I know: my father would wish to thank you also, if—if——' " 'If yoil only knew whom to thank,' I added, with u conscious shame at my own lack of courtes}'. Now, I don't know what deviltry prompted me to the action, but instead of handing her my own c a r d 1 gave her one of Frank i_litU_s*.-a youu-g fellmv rooming -vy-rtrr m e a t t h e S t . C h a r l e s , a d n i m m e r for a large hat firm in Detroit. His name graced the card in -full, arid also 'Tremoine & Leeman,' the name of the firm he was connected with. It was a foolish thing to do, yet I never expected to*<. see the young lady again, and I suppose it occurred to me that it would be a good joke on Smith. "To my great astonishment she recognized the first name. ' " 'You must come ill and see my father,' she said. 'Mr. Tremoine is an old friend of ours, and he. will be so delighted to see you.' " i n t o what kind of a scrape had I gotten myself? I declined as courteously as possible, and tried to hasten away; but just then an old gentleman appeared at the door, in answer to our ring at the gate, for, as you remember, in New Orleans most of the bells are on the front gate. " I n a few words the young lady explained the situation. With a true Southern hospitality he invited me to enter, thanking me in most voluble terms for my kindness to his daughter. .Seeing I ^vould ofiend by not accepting their invitation, I stepped in with them. As usual hi these FrenciiJJ;. bourses; nieTfaTl led into a little barrenlooking court. From this, however, w<» t>nt»nnt—ixiio—aw—apartmuu-t febrtt r at the ••veral unplic^ —Ifief fffeie* r was elegantly furnished "A servant took ra-y -umbrella and hat, and the old gentleman pushed forward a handsome easy-chair for me, seating himself near me. The young lady disappeared, reappearing in a little while in a charming dinner-dress of garnet satin. " I confess I was a little dazed by the sudden turn affairs had taken, and the tete-a-tete with the gentleman, whose name I ascertained to be De Chartre, was not embarrassing, for he asked mc a score of quootionj about Detioit and the people there, all of which I, never having been in that city, was obliged to answer at random, or from vague reminiscences of what Smith had told me casually. , " " I tried in vain to turn the subject, and had almost given myself up to desperate fibbing when 1 chanced to perceive that a piano was behind me. During a momentary lull in the conversation, in which De Chartre was probably trying to reconcile my rambling information with his own knowledge amLejm^ctures,I-turned-to-the y o u n g lady, requesting some music: "To my relief she consented immediately, thus saving her father from any further surprises in the way of chaotic guessing on my part. She sang and played quite prettily, and I found myself even more prepossessed than I had been at first. "After she had played several songs I arose to go, but as I did so dinner was announced, and I was urgently invltcd~by them uoth to remain. Again I saw that to refuse would be tp offend, so, in order to preserve Smith's re tion from further damage, I a e c e p t e d , resolving that I would e x W t m y talents to tile utmost i n j j e r n g entertaining. You see, I wantea them to speak a good w p r d ^ i o r Smith if ever they chance to communicate with is Tremoine, w h o m 1 heartily wished at the bottom of the sea. " T h o dinner was served in good style, and quite enjoyed by Smith, who w a s sometimes r a t h e r dilatory in re- •*To my>*tirpri80, and I must say pleasure, she accepted gratefully, and we walked to the next corner to meet t i n o«r. I noted then tho extreme kwdfoess of her beauty, which was of <fbe pore Creole type, and the mafveloflf taish of her toilet, which showed in sponding to his name, but who managed Jo keep the u p p e r hand in the conversation, not allowing the old gentleman a single g a p in which to insert bis inquiries about Detroit and the Tre- "AfHf dinner we adjonfMd to the for a smoky, in which I declined to kiin him. "The rain which had been mild at first, now turned into a raging torrent. It beat savagely against the windows, and the wind swept mournfully through the court. Now and then it crept under the doors and into the room, bringing a faint Ncont of the orange-blooms that were being swept fromjtheir stems on the bending trees without. But the inclemency of the weather outside only made the comfort and brightness of the apartment seem more perfect. "With such a charming hostess the moments sped swiftly. I became more and more enthralled with her dark eyes and her gracidus manners, so typical of the grace which has made the Creole women celebrated. Besides, the novelty of the situation made it seem tenfold more attractive Jt began to tremble vaguely for Smith's peace of mind. It would be superhuman for a man to resist the fnscinat'en of the lovely creole.. I don't know to what length 1 might have committed myself, had not the door opened and Monsieur De Chartre once more appeared upon the scent'.*. As it was, I think he surprised me saying some foolishly tender things to his daughter. " I looked *t my watch. A Hush of shame crept over me. It was past ten o'clock. I fell; that I had infringed on the hospitality extended to me. I began to apologize, but Monsieur De Chartre stopped me. " 'My dear sir,' he said, cordially, 'you can not go out in such a storm. I will not permit it,- My home is large. We have anipie accommodations., Kemain with us t o - n i g h t ' " I hesitated a moment; the rain beating on the window-pane seemed dismal enough. Besides, I was in a part of the city with which I was. unfamiliar. I might lose my way and wander about those narrow streets for hours; and then blood-curdling tales came back to me of strangers who had been robbed and half murdered in those dark thoroughfares. I had a valuable 'watchzaini:iciEagn^agd^:qiTrteasuTrr-of o n o n e y a b o u t m e r w b i e b I-wonld—not care to lose. I confess the idea of venturing out into that pitiless storm, in the heart of the high-walled, mysterious French town, unprotected by a weapon of any sort, rather dismayed me. Yet I remembered that I had made arrangements to leave the city in the morning, and I intimated as much to Monsieur De Chartre. " 'That will not incommode us at all.' he said, .politely. 'I will leave word with one of theservants to unlatch the door and gate at live o'clock. You can rise then and leave the house at your pleasure. If you desire a cup of coffee Jacques will have it ready for you.' " I thanked him sincerely. I could not feel .grateful enough for such a warm and cordial hospitality. It is true indeed that these Southerners have the kindest and most hospitable hearts in the world. An old and valued friend of the family could scarcely have been treated more kindly than I, a complete stranger, save for* the slight stamp of genuineness which 'Tremoine & Leeman ' gave me in this most elegant and beautiful home, every part of which betokened the wealth and position of the o wner. ___ 37few moments later Jacques came — "With a to show me to my room. With a lingering glance I bade the young lady good-night. It seemed to me that her beautiful eyes were filled with a ^ h u d - ow of regret for our brief acquaintance. Her father followed me to the court without, after giving me several messages for Mr. Tremoine and other friends in Detroit, all of which I promised to carry faithfully. Then with a courtly good-night he intrusted mo to the care of the waiting African attendant. "My apartment was handsomely furnished, in keeping W^th t.hft rest nf thn house.—It was apparently a back room connecting with one in front of the house b y l i e a v y folding doors across which a rich crimson portiere fell. "Jacques brought me a pitcher of fresh water and some clean towels, and then, mumbling something in his unintelligible crude French, bowed himself out. . "I examined the room carefully, locked all the doors except the folding one, which I found fastened on the^ other side, and went to sleep thinking what a capital joke this was on Smith, . -.who-wus-Ai-adottbtedrv-repostng- beautifully in room 105, at the St. Charles, unconscious of the strange escapade I had gotten him into. I resolved to write to the young lady as soon as I left the city, informing her of ray little deception and introducing the original Smith, whom I was quite sure would-^l™?-*1 h l s cigarette—"I awoke. fall head over ears in love with^hef at sight. Poor Smith, I w a s j t t s t m a p p i n g put his future most^beautifully, when Morpheus seizeji^ne and carried me off into Arp.AmUCnti. _ ut midnight I was awakened by slight noise in the roonrr I listened, but all was as still as death. Apparently the whole household had fallea into* slumber. I attributed the souud to my own imagination, and was about to compose myself to slumber, when a cold chill crept over me. I was sensible of a near presence. The room was intensely dark and I could see nothing. Neither could my faculties, which were now thoroughly acute, perceive the slightest movement or sound.—Yet, my blood ran cold with the premonition of evil. I could feel a cold sweat breaking out all over me—the chill crept to the very roots of my hair. "With a sudden bound I leaped from the bed. The matches were on a table near. I struck one and looked around, half expecting to see some uncanny lamp, and examined the apartment carefully, but alt was as secure as when I retired. "With an impatient condemnation of my weakness I went to bed again, leaving the lamp burning i « w . As I am no believer in haunted houses and my digestion is unusually good, I .soon sank into a deep slumber. "About two hours later, however, I was again awakened by that mysterious sensation. Again the cold chills, betokening some evil unknown presence, crept over me. A terrible presentiment took possession of me. I dared not move for a second. My knees trembled, the cold drops of moisture stood on my brow. What could it be—this awful presence that seemed to lay cold fingers upon me in the darkness and wake me from my sleep? I lay there shivering as though chilled by some actual, icy touch for a moment, then my healthy, vigorous physique reasserted itself. I was no coward even to myself. I rose stealthily and crept to the light, turning the full blaze on suddenly. "A change in the room startled nie. The heavy portiere was thrown aside, the folding-doors stood wide open. Resolved to penetrate this mystery, I stepped into the other room. "A cry of horror escaped me as I did so. 1 stood in the middle of the floor, petrified, the very blood fre'ezing in my veins. There on the bed lay a man with his throat gashed from ear to ear, the red blood oozing slowly upon the white counterpane and the rich carpet beneath. His wide eyes were upturned to the ceiling, his white face transfixed with the death agony. "For a second I stood there as if frozen to the spot/ my senses reeling, my hands clinched i n a sudden agony of mortal terror; then like a flash of lightning tha truth swept over me. A terrible crime had been committed. The responsibility was to be laid on me. in the morning the police would come to arrest me.

I entered the apartment wThere 1 had been entertained the night before, hoping to find a window unbolted. To my surprise I heard voices and perceived a light emanating from the room adjoining. The door between was slightly ajar. I walked breathlessly across the room and peeped through the crevice. "Horrors of horrors! What did I see there?

Probably no concern in tiie country nafl adhei ted more strictly to the determination to achieve success by the liberal use of printer's ink than has the Brown Chemical Company of Baltimore, Md. Starting business about five years ago, they have, exponded o vor $ 1,500,000 in the preparation and circulation of printed matter, more than half of which has been paid for newspaper advertisi ug.
