AY MEN'S A CORRECTION. Pinckney, Jan. 12, '97. Mr. Editor: "* * Please allow me to correct a trifling error that occurs in ypur "pink number" in regard to the time when I began teaching in Pinckney, which you say was THiRTr-EiOHT TEARS AGO. According to my best rec* collection, this evening, I began teach* ing in Pinckney in the year 1837— the same year that Silas Barton took up his abode in "the bouse he now occupies" according to the DISPATCH. Our beautiful peninsular state was tb*n4n-ber swadBliog clothes, and think, Mr. Barton, then a strapping youth of 14 summers was a member of my a be class. I could tell many a thrilling tale of that first school, but, out of regard for tbe public, I forbear. My wife here reminds me that she came to school to me that first winter. I had forgotten that little circumstance until she spoke of her skill in mental arithejBtic—she is pretty good in mental arithmetic now; she can outfigure me every time. Having enjoyed the confidence and patronage of the Pinckney Public from so remote an epoch, I may be _paTdpned if I indulge the hope that, if no unforeseen emergeltcIeXlarise; I may be permitted to graduate a goodly number of my prospective great-grand-children! My wife here puts in again and says she'll veto that. She thinks that we had better, in the course- of 15 or 20 years, retire on our fortune; but I'm afraid that, even by that time, our fortune would be like Prof. Lilien- 'thall's wings, not quite able to support our weight, and that the sad fate of Lilienthall, Darius Green and many others who have sought to soar, jvould be oure. Onlook ing- the above carefully over, I am willing to concede that there may be still a few unimportant slips in it; but I WILL maintain ihat it is pretty nearly as correct as \the "pink number" article, And it certainly makes a better story 1 Yours for accuracy, Wit.

While the lengthy hearing of the tariff committee of the national house of representatives has been largely**- tendpd by congressmen, merchants, manufactures, wool growers, farmers, lumbermen, etc., each urging protection for his particular Hue there has been no one who has shown up better the needs of Michigan farmers and business ratm than Congressman Corliss. He askttd more protection on a long list ot articles, including tobacco, lumber, salt, farm products, seeds, pearl buttons, iish, chicory roots, gelatine, ammonia, gypsum rock, tallow and grease, sheepskins and straw goods. M r. Corliss intimated that great quantities of Sumatra tobacco wrappers whieji are scheduled a t ft50 per pound were admitted by some customs officials as Sumatra fillers at 35 cents per pound, simply because the large, importers could nfford to present the ofticers with greenback spectacles through which to inspect their imports. He therefore urged a uniform specific duty on tobacco so as to place large and small importers on a parity and save the possibility of bribery. .-Congressman Spaulding, of the Second district of Michigan also made a strong pica for Michigan farmers and was asked to appear again before the committee.

Chase, who attempted to murder his wife, Catherine Chase, and then commit suicide, at Detroit,, was sentenced by Judge Chapin to life imprisonment at Jackson ^prison. He took the sentence coolly, and did not exhibit the slightest trace of emotion. The crime for which Chase was sentenced was attempted December 14, l a s t He became jealous and charged his wife w i t h unfaithfulness. She denied the accusation, but Chase decided to kill her aud do away with himself, so he took a razor, went back of his wife, w h o was sitting in a chair, and pulling her head backward, he drew the razor across her throat, slashed the poor woman across the face, neck and hands. Thinking he had succeeded in killing his wife, Ohase then went to a looking glass and drew the razor across his own throat. For many days the couple hovered between life and dead, but finally^recovered and were discharged from the hospital. Mrs. Chase went to her old home, and Chase was locked up to ft»„it hi* trail.

The cavalry, 4,000 strong, under Quintin Bandera*^ was placed on the other three sides, its main strength being on the east. During the n e x t three days there was almost constant skirmishing and on the third day Gen. Luque, commander of the Spanish, was wounded.

T h e congress of Venezuela meets in February and while there has been some objections raised in Venezuela to the arrangement for a settlement of dispute, it is understood that these objections are not p o t e n t enough to prevent ratification of t h e agreement in t h e face of its strong indorsement by President Crespo and t h e members of his cabinet. TheK members of the state legislature were not anxious to overwork themselves early in the session, as w a s made e v i d e n t by the fact of their adjourning for five days. ai.ter being iu sesaion b*t two.

The House c o m m i t t e e s are more friendly toward the chief e x e c u t i v e and his pet measures will fare better in t h a t side of the capitol. T h e flood of bills has begun aud a large n u m b e r of important and other kinds of proposed laws have been noticed and s e n t to the desks of the clerks in both houses.

One Satur- ' day I had paid the men as usual, ajyi bought a muid of mealle meal at sixty shillings for them to All themselves with, and then I went with my boy Harry and sat on the edge of the thundering great hole that we had dug In the hill-side, and which we had in bitter mockery named Eldorado. Therp we aat in the moonlight with our feet hanging over the edge of the claim, and were melancholy enbugh for anything. Presently I pulled out my purse and emptied its contents into my hand. There was a Half sovereign, two florins, nine pence in silver, no coppers, tor copper practically does not circulate in South Africa, which is one of the things that makea living so deartbere, in all exactly fourteen and nine pence. '"There, Harry, my boy!' I said, that is the sum-total "-of our worldly vealth; the inferaat^nolothas swallowed air the rest.' " 'Gracious!' said Master Harry. 'I say, you and I (Shall have to let ourselves out to work with $ e Kafirs and live on raealle pap,' and he giggled a: hla unpleasant little joke. "But I was in no mood for joking, for it is not a merry thing to dig like mad for months and be completely ruined in the process, especially if you happen to hate digging like poison, and consequently I resented Harry's llght-heartedness. "'Shut up!' I said, raising my hand is though to give him a cuff, with the result that the half sovereign slipped out of it and fell In the gulf below. -" 'Oh, confound It all/ said I, 'it's gone.' " 'There, dad/ >aaid Harry; 'that's what comes of letting your angry passions rise; now we are down to four and nine/ "I made no answer to these words of wisdom, but scrambled down the steep sides of the claim followed by Harry, to hunt for my little all.^ Well, we hunted and hunted, but the moonlight is an uncertain thing to look for half sovereigns by, and there was some loose soil about, for the Kafirs had knocked off working at^the very spot a couple of hours before. I took a pick and raked away the clods of earth with it, In the hope of finding the coin; but all in vain. At last in sheer annoyance I struck the sharp end of the pick-ax down into, the 'soil, which was ot a very hard nature. To my astonishment it sunk in right up to the haft. '"Why, Harry/ I said, 'this ground must have been disturbed!' , ... "'I don't think so", father/ he answered, 'but we will soon see/ and he began to shovel out the soil with his handB. 'Oh/ he said, presently, 'it's only some old stones; the pick has gone down between them, look;' and he began to pull at one of-the stones. " 'I say, dad/ he said, presently, almost in a whisper, tit's precious^heavy, feel it/ and he rose and^g&ve me a round brownish lump .About the size of a very large apphvwhich he was holding In bothhifTnands. I took it curiously and heldJt up to the light. It was precious heavy. The moonlight fell upon its rough and. dtrt-iacrugted surface, and as I looked curious little thrills of excitement began to pass through me. But I could not be sure. " 'Give me your knife, Harry/ I said. "He did so, and resting the brown stone on my knee I scratched at Its surface. Great heavens, it was soft! "Another secret and the secret was out; we had found a great nugget of pure gold, four pounds of it or more. •It's gold, lad/ I said, 'it's gold, or I'm a Dutchman/ "Harry, w'ith his eyes starting out of his head, glared down at the ~ong gleaming yellow' scratch that I had made upon the virgin metal, and then burst out into yell upon yell of exultation, that went ringing away across the silent claims' like the shrieks of somebody being murdered. " 'Shut up, shut up!' I said, 'do you want every thief on the fields after y o u r ••Scarcely were the words out of my mouth when I heard a stealthy footstep approaching. I promptly put the big nugget down and, sat on it, as ' though xt s a d been an egg, smd u n - commonly hard it was, and as I did so I saw a. lean dark face poked over the edge of the claim and a pair of beady eyes searching us out I knew the lace, it belonged to a man of very bad character known as Handspike Took, having I understood been so named at Che Diamond Fields because he had murdered his mate with a handspike. He was now no doubt prowling about like a human hyena to see what he could steal. "'Is that you, 'unter Quatermainr he says. "•Yes, that's me, Mr. Tom/ I answered, politely. " 'And what might all that there yelling b e ? ' h e asked. 'I was walking along, a-taking of the evening sir and a-thlnking about my soul, when I 'ears •owl alter 'owl/ " 'WeH.-'Mr. Tom/ I answered, 'that i s not to be wondered at, seeing that like yourself they are nocturnal birds.' .** "Gn/\ after 'owl/ he repeated, stsfl*. ly, taking no notice of my interpretation, 'and I stops and smacks my lips and says, "That's murder,," and I listens agin and thinks, "No, it ain't; that 'owl is the 'owl of hexhultatlon; some one's been and got his fingers into a gummy yeller pot, I'll swear,,and gone off 'is 'ead in the sucking of them. Now, 'unter Quatermain, is I right? Is it nuggets? Oh, Lor'!' and he smacked his lips* audibly—'great big yellow boys— ia/lt them that you have just been and tumbled across?' «'No,' I said boldly, 'itJsn't — the cruel gleam in his black eyes altogether overcoming my aversion to the lie, for I * knew thai if once he found out what it was that I was sitting on—and by the way I have heard of rolling in gold being spoken of as a pleasant process, but I certainly do not recommend anybody who values comfort to' try sitting on it—I should run a very good chance of being handspiked before the night was over. " 'If you want to know what it was, Mr. Tom/ I went on with my politest air, although in agony from the nugget underneath, for I hold it always :jcst to be polite to a man who Is so ruidy with a handspike, 'my boy and I Live had a slight difference of opinion, and I was enforcing my view of the matter «pon him; that's all, Mr. Tom/ " 'Yes, Mr. Tom/ put in Harry, beginning to snivel. " 'Well, all I can say is that a played- out old claim is a wonderful queer sort of a place to come for to argify at ten o'clock of night, and what's more, my sweet youth, if ever I should 'ave !.he argifying of yer'-—and he leerad unpleasantly at Harry—'yer won't 'oiler in quite such a jolly sort o' way. And now I'll be saying good-night, for I don't like disturbing of a family party. No, I ain't that sort of man. I ain't. Good-night to yer, 'unter Quatermain— good-nigh't to yer, my arglfied young o n e / and Mr. Tom turned away disappointed and prowled off elsewhere, like a human jackal, to see what he could thieve or kill. " 'Thank he^xefa!' I said, as I slipped off the lump of gold which had left a dent upon my person that did not wear out for a week or more. 'Now then, just you slip up, Harry.and see if that consummate villain has gone/ Harry did so, and reported that he had vanished toward Pilgrims' Rest, and then we set to work, andjvery carefully, but trembling with excitement, with our hands hollowed out all the space of ground into which I had struck the pick. Yes, as I thought, there was a regular nest of nuggets, twelve in all, running from the size of a hazel nut to that of a hen's egg, though of course the first one was much larger than that How they aH came there nobody can say; it was one of those extraordinary freaks, with stories of which at any rate, all people acquainted with alluvial gold-knining will be familiar. It turned out [afterward that the Yankee who sold me the claim had in the same way made his pile—a much larger one than ours, by the way—out of & single pocket, and then worked for six months without seeing color, after which he gave it up. "At any rate, there the nuggets were, to the value as it turned out afterwards, of about twelve hundred and fifty pounds, so that after all I took out of "that hole four hundred and fifty pounds more than I put into it. We got them all out and wrapped them up Ih~a hajnd kerchief, and then fearing to carry home -so much treasure, especially as we knew that Mr. Handspike Tom was on the prowl, made up our minds to pass the night where we were—a necessity which, disagreeable as it was, was wonderfully sweetened by the presence of that handkerchief full of virgin gold, which represented the interest of my lost half sovereign. • "Slowly Xhe night wore away, for with the fear of Handspike Tom before my eyes I did not care to go to sleep, and at last the dawn came, blushing like a bride, down the somber ways of night I got up and watched its perfect growth, till it opened like a vast celestial flower upon the eastern sky, and the sunbeams began to spring in splendor from mountain-top to mountaintop. I watched it, and as I did so it flashed upon me with a complete conviction that I had not felt before, I had had enough gold-mining to methereatof my natural life, and f and there made up my mind to out of Pilgrims' Rest and go ant buffalo toward Delago Bay. turned, took the pick and shovel, although it was a Sunday woke up Harry and set to waffc t a i.

Shall I take you with me, or send you down to Durban?' " 'Oh, take me with you, dad/ begged Harry, 'I want to kill a buffalo!' . " 'And supposing the buffalo kills you instead?' I asked. " 'Oh, never mind/ he says gayly, 'there are lota more where I came from/ "I rebuked him for his flippancy, but In the end I consented to take him/' t if there were any more As I expected, there were neWi.

"Something over a fortnight had passed since the night when I lost half a sovereign and found twelve hundred and fifty pounds in looking for it, and Instead of that horrid hole for which, after all, Eldorado was scarcely a misnomer, a very different scene stretched away before us clad in the silver robe of the moonlight. We were camped— Harry and I, two Kafirs, a Scotch cart, and six oxen—on the swelling side of a great wave of bush-clad land. Just where we had made our camp, however, the bush was very_jparse, and only grew about In clumps, while here and there were single flat-topped mimosa trees. To our right a little stream, which had cut a deep channel for itself in the bosom of the slope, flowed musically on between banks green with the maiden-hair, wild asparagus, and many beautiful grasses. The bed-rock here was red granite, and in the course of many centuries of patient washing the water had hollowed out some of the huge slabs in its path into great troughs and cups, and these we used for bathing-places. No Roman lady, with her baths of porphyry or alabaster, could have had a more delicious spot to lave herself than we had within fifty yards of our skerm or rough inc i s u r e of mimosa thorn that we had dragged together round the cart to protect us from the attacks of lions, of which there were several about^ as I knew from their spoor, though we bad neither^heard nor seen them. "It Was a little nook where the eddy of the stream had washed away a mass of soil, and on the edge of it there grew a most beautiful old mimosa thorn. Beneath the thorn was a large smooth slab of granite fringed ail with maiden-hair, and other ferns, that sloped gently down to a pool of the clearest sparkling water, which ley in a bowl of granite about ten feet wide by five deep in the center. Here to this slab we went every morning to bathe, and that delightful bath is among the most pleasant of my hunting reminiscences, as it is also for reasons that will presently appear, among the most painful. "It was a lovely night, and Harry and I sat there to the windward of the fire, at which the two Kafirs were busily employed_in cooking some impala steaks off a buck which Harry, to his great joy, had shot that morning, and were as perfectly contented with ourselves and the world at large as two people could'possibly be. The night was beautiful, and it would require somebody with more words on the tip of his tongue than I have to describe the chastened majesty of the moonlit wilds. Away forever and forever, away to the mysterious north, rolled the great bush ocean over which the silence hung like a heavy cloud. There beneath us a mile or more to the right . rolled the wild oftiphant river, and mirror-like flashed back the moon, whose silver spears were shivered on its breast, and then tossed in twisted lines of light far and wide hout the mountains and the plain, n upon its banks grew great tim- Der^lrees~iOiat"through thelBtllly silence pointed solemnly to heaven, and 4ft» Deauty of the night lay upon them fflw a dream.

(From the Journal, Detroit,. "Disease of the spinal cord prostration, was what the doctors dallsd it at first," Mrs. Roaie Tapley, of No. 791 Bar* rison Street, Ionia, Mich., said yesterday te a reporter, "but it was not long before every organ and member of my body was affaoted. There was a continuous beating at the pit ef my stomach, my head ached on until I thought I should grow insane. I felt as iff were smothering, and my legs would become so weak that I had to drop when I felt the spells comlngpon.

"I have nearly always thought it was la «71000," Mrs. Tapley oontmuetL" though the elector never would say so. whatever it was, however, it kept getting worse and worse (especially my head and nerves) and I thought L should die.

I have ne headache whatever, and after the hell that I suffered my life is now like heaven. •• 1 cannot say too muebjn praise of these Pills. You may use all the adulatory language of which you are capable," Mrs. Tapley said to the reporter, "and I will endorse it. I have never tired of recommending these pills to my neighbors (sndjny sister, who is a school teacher, and had a horrible time with her nerves and loss of memory, at*, my suggestion ia taking Dr. Williams1 remedy and is being rapidly cured). "Read over what you have written,** Mrs. Tapley requested.

BLAME'S HIGH GRAIJE BEAUTY OF CREOLE WOMEN. Fairer Than iha JUUy, with thmi Dignity of ta«5 Row, "As you see bis face," * rites Ruth McEnery Stuart In the Ladies' Home Journal, "you will know tl\atr he (the Creole hueband or father) realize* that no flower upon the lily covered altar is half so fair or so fit for th<> tample's perfect adorning as his blooming wife and budding -laughters, who bit in line beside him. I! he does not think these things he Is a dullard—or, maybe, only half oreole. Perhaps his mother was an American or Scotch. And then ? Perhaps he would not think them because they might not bo Jrue, They would be other things, other things just as fine and guod, no doubt—they might even have rare beauty of a different type^—but the Creole woman is a flower. She is a magnolia or a jasmine— ocasionally a camelia, or especially when there is a good warm drop of Spanish blood in her veins she is a red, red rose—a rose too sweet to pass untouched but for her perfect dignity and a piquant hauteur that is as protective as any thorn upon a rose's stem. Properly Bpeaking, or, rather, narrowly speaking, the creole is an American, born of French or Spanish parents.or of both, and, strictly, both j pareffts should themselves be foreign born, but the creole is often only the great-great-grandson of a creole, and some of their families of purest blood could not reach the mother country without going back through three or four American-born generations." The H i s t o r y of H e a l t h . To trace the history of the search of the human race after health would be almost tantamount to writing the history of the race itself. A careful examination of the position which hygiene now holds will, we think, justify us in alleging that it has made such advances as may fairly entitle it to take its place among the progressive if not absolutely exact science?. Its literature has been said with truth to be among the oldest in the world. We cannot doubt that in order of chronology the first name "to be honored Is ( that of Moses, as the author of the most complete and detailed 3ystem of hygiene in=anclent timc-s. We may be pretty sure that the code oTlftases was the outcome of the wisdom arid experience of long-past ages; - Be that a3 it may, however, we cannot bvt admire the excellent precepts laid down for the cleansing and purifying of house and camp, for the security of pure water, for choice of good and wholesome food, for the isolation of the sick and the unclean and for the destruction of refuse.

An employer who understands the details of his business is seldom unjust to his employes. The most popular form of self-denial is to inconvenience yourself in order to spite somebody else. A coquette is like a rose. Each lover plucks a leaf; the stem and thorns are left for the future husband. Unfortunately for the human race, few of us feel that our particular sphere is worthy of our best energlea It is easy enough to borrow trouble by imagining what people ought to do and then fretting because they do otherwise. To character and success, two things contradictory as they may seem must go—humble dependence and manly independence. The only thing that can be compared to a good ad. in working ability is a mortgaged They both work day and nighty rain or shine. It Is a good idea to swear off something at the beginning of the new year, even if the monotony "of habit Is only broken for a few days. Strict attention to the small courtesies of life will advance a man faster than waiting to ride into popularity on some tidal wave that may never come. _ If it were not for the unhealthy conditions of the slums in large cities,4the vicious portion of the population would increase fast enough to drive away all other- eleitfftni*^__ In Lexington, Ky., there is a club the youngest member of which is 89 years old. AH the others are over 90. The club meets regularly for purposes of mutual improvement and social pleasure. • Who said that? Was It David or was It Christ? It was both. These Messianic Psalms are like a telescope. Pull the instrument to a certain range, and it shows you an object near by. Pull it to another range, and it will show you objects far away. David and Christ were both, each in his own time, the song of the drunkards. Holiness of doctrine and life always did excite wicked merriment. Although David had fully reformed and written a psalmody in which all subsequent ages have sobbed out their penitence, his enemies preferred to fetch up his old career, and put into, metric measures sins long before forgiven. Christ, who committed no sin, was still more the subject of unholy song, because the better one is, the more iniquity hates him. Of the best Being whose voice ever moved the air" or whose foot ever touched the earth it might be said: The byword of the passing throng, The ruler's scoff, the drunkard's song. The earth fitted up for the human race, in congratulation the morning stars sang a song. The Israelitlsh army safe on the bank of the Red Sea and the Egyptians clear^ under the returned water, Moses sanj? a song. One of the most important parts of this great old Book is Solomon's song. At the birth of our Lord the Virgin Mary and old Simeon and angelic prima donnas in hovering clouds sang a song. What enrichment has been given to the world's literature and enjoyment by the ballads', the canticles, the discants, the ditties, the roundelays, the epics, the lyriea, the dithyrambs. But my text calls attention to a style of song that I think has never been dig* coursed upon. You sometimes hear this style of music when passing a saloon, or a residence in which dissipation Is ascendant, or after you have retired at night you hear it coming out of the street from those who, having tarried long at their cups, are on their way home—the ballad of the inebriate, the serenade of the alcoholized, or what my text calls the Song of the Drunkards. For practical an4 saving and wanting and Christian purposes I will announce to you the characteristics of that welJ-km>wn cadence mentioned in my text. First I remark that the Song of the Drunkards is an old song. Much of the music of the world and of the church is old music. First came the music of percussion, the clapping cymbal, which was suggested by a hammer Is an old song. Kink Cyrus boasted that he could drink more wine than his brother. Drunkenness was so rife among the Lacedaemonians that Lycurgus had all the vines of the vineyards destroyed. Paul Excoriates the Corinthians for turning the communion of the Lord's supper at church into a carousal. Isaiah mentions the drunkards of Ephraim. So much were the Athenians given to wassail that a law was passed giving a man double punishment for crime while intoxicated, the first punishment for the crime, and the other for the intoxication. It was a staccato passage in that song when Alexander the Great arose from a ban-, quet and struck a spear through the Nothing to tlings up associations m a song sung or played upon Instrument, and the Drunkards' Song Is full of suggestion. As you hear it on the street quite late some night, you begin to sail to yourvelf, "I wonder if he ha* a mother? Is his wife waiting for him? Will his children be frightened when he enters the front door and staggers, whooping, up the stairs?

The teeth are made of rubber, the base or plate and the teeth being formed integrally. These new artificial masticators will be sold for $1.50 and $2 a set. The word trocha is of such frequent occurrence in dispatches and news from Havana that it seems likely in time to become incorporated into the English speech. An explanation having been askedjof the termr^whtch is proneuncedtrotsha, with the accent on the first syllable, it may be staled that originally it denotes a footpath, pathway, or sometimes a short cut.

But far "back of that, Dr. CJiarles Sweet, the bone-setter, died at his home in Lebanon, Conn., last week. He is said to hard operated in more than 100,000 eases of bone-setting. His family for three generations have been renowned for bonesetting abilities, although no member has had more than a common school education, and none of them, ever studied anatomy. Dr. Sweet waa In Wisconsin aboat twenty ysara ago and many people will remember hit marvelous success in fixing dislocated joints. aild nearly ~ba«ck as far as the moral collapse of our first parentage Is the Song of the Drunkards. That tune was sung at least four thousand two hundred and forty-three years ago, when, the deluge past, Noah came out of the ark, and as if disgusted with too much prevalence of water, he took to strong drink and staggered forth, for Wl ages the first known drunkard. He sounded the first note of the old music of inebriacy. An Arab author of A. D. 1310, wrote: "Noah, being come out of the ark, ordered each of his sons to= build a house. Afterwards they were occupied in sowing and in planting trees, the pippins and fruits of which they curtains, and horrified ai what was done, withdrew the sword from the dead body and attempted to take his own life. In the time of Oliver Cromwell the evil was so great that offenders were compelled to wear what was called "the drunkard's cloak," namely, a barrel with one end of it knocked out and a hole in the opposite end, the arms thrust through holes at the sides of the barrel. Samuel Johnson made merry of his own inebriacy. Oh, this old song! All the centuries have joined in. Among the flrst songe ever sung was the Song of the Drunkards. Again, this Song of the Drunkards is an expensive songr The Sonntags and the Parepa Rosas and Nilssons and the other renderers of elevated and divine solos .received tbeir thousands of dollars per night in coliseums and acad? emles of music. Some of the people of small means almost pauperized themselves that they might sit a few evenings under the enchantment of these angels of sweet sounds. I paid yeyeu dollars to hear Jenny Linrl sing when it was not easy to afford the seven dollars. Very expensive is such music, but the costliest song on earth is the drunkard's song. It costs ruin of body. It costs ruin of mind. It costs ruin of soul. 'Go right down among the residential streets of any city and you can find once beautiful and luxurious homesteads that were expended in this destructive music. The lights have gone out in the drawing-room, the pianos have ceased the pulsation of their keys, the wardrobe has lost the last article of appropriate attire. The Belshazzarean feast has left nothing but the broken pieces of the crushed chalices. There It stands, the ghastliest thing on earth, the remnant of a drunkard's home. The costliest thing on earth is sin. The most expensive of all music is the Song of the Drunkards. It is the highest tariff of nations— not a protective tariff, but a tariff of doom, a tariff of woe, a tariff of death. This evil whets the knives of the assassins, cuts the most of. the wounds of the hospital, makes necessary most of the almshouses, causes the most of the ravings of the insane hand to-day on the throat of the Amer *u 8_ | lean republic. It is the taskmaster of nations, and the human race crouches under its anathema. The Song of the Drunkards has for its accompaniment the clank of chains, the chattering teeth of poverty, the rattle of executioner's scaffold, the crash of shipwrecks, and the groan of empires. The two billion twenty million dollars which rum costs the country in a year in the destruction of grain and sugar and the supporting of the paupers and the criminals which strong drink causes is only a small part of what is paid Tor this expensive Song of the Drunkards. Again, this Song of the Drunkards is a multitudinous song—not a solo, not a duet, not a quartette, not a sextette; but millions on millions are this hour man whose voice YOU hear on the street under-the starlight. • * * Furthermore, the last characteristic of the DrunkardsH Song is so tremendous that I can hardly bring myself to mention it. The Drunkards' Song is a continuous song. Once atai% £hat tune and you keep it up. You have known a hundred men destroyed of strong drink. You cannot mention five who got fully started on that road and stopped. The grace of God can do anything1, but it does not do everything. Religion saves some. Temperance societies save some. The Bowery Mission saves some. The Central Mission saves some. But one hundred thousand who arte annually slain by strong drink are not saved at all. I have been at a concert which went on for two hours anil a half, and many people got up and left because it was too/Toiig; but 95 per cent of those who are singing the Drunkards' Song will to the last breath of their lungs and the last beat of their hearts keep on rendering it, and the galleries of earth and heaven and hell will stay filled with the astounded spectators. It is such a continuous and prolonged song that one feels like making the prayer which a reformed inebriate once made: "Almighty God! If it be thy will that man should suffer, whatever seemeth good in thy sight impose upon me. Let the bread of affliction be given me to eat. Take from me the friends of my confidence. Let the cold hut of-poverty be my dwelling-place and the wasting hand of disease inflict its painful torments. Let me sow in the whirlwind and reap in the storm. Let those have me in derision who are- younger than I. Let the passing away of my welfare be like the fleeting of a cloud and the shouts of my enemies like the rushing of waters. When I anticipate good, let evil annoy me. When I look for light, let darkness come upon me. Let the terrors of death be ever before me. Do all this, but save me, merciful God! Save me from the fate of a drunkard. Amen." You see this sermon is not so much for cure as for prevention. Stop before you start, If you will forgive the solecism.

Do not think that alcohol- The aanonnoement that "days of grace" have been abolished in one more state, suggests that in old Bnglhih law the phrase had, a meaning different from the present well understood slgnificance of the words as used in crasikjess. Law or custom allows three days beyond the fixed day of payment for paying a note or bill of exchange. The term, "days of grace," as used in old Fjigllsf law, signified the period of three days allowed by the court for the appearance and answer of a person summoned, toeyond the day mentioned In the writ. This old use .thus pointed to mercy rather than to mere business accommodation or convenience. In these days of trusts and shy locks there is neither mercy nor business—just pUla ssjad-bagginj? and s o more. wanting, and they could not discover it. Gabriel then informed them that the devil had desired it, and Indeed had some right to it. Hereupon Noah summoned him to appear in the field, and said to him, 'O accursed! Why hast thou carried away the vine from me?' 'Because,' replied the devil, *It belonged to me.' Shall I part it for you?' said Gabriel. 'I consent/ said Noah, 'and- will leave him a fourth.' That is not sufficient for him,' said Gabriel. 'Well, I will take half,' replied Noah, 'and he shall take the other.' 'That is not sufficient yet,' responded Gabriel. 'He must have twothirds and thou one, and when iky wine shall hare boiled on the fire until two-thirds are gone, the remainder shall be assigned for thy use.'". A fable that illustrates how the vine has been misappropriated. Beohadad and thirty-two allied kings, rioting in a pavilion, took up the same bacchanal. Nabal waa rendering that drunkard's song when his wife, beautiful Abigail, came hack from her expedition to save her huaband. Herod was singing that song when the daughter of Herodlas wheeled in the dance before him. Belsharxar and a thousand lords renewed that song the night the handwriting came out on the plastering of the wall and the tramp of the besieging host was heard on the palace stairs. Ahasuerus sang that song when, after seven days of carous- MiL_he_ ordered Vashti to u«»*e .into the presence, of the roaiTh^gneats without her veil on—a January storm tiding to command a June morning Oh, yes! The song of the drunkards ism has this field all to itself. It has powerful rivals in the intoxicants 6f other nations; hasheesh; and arrack, and pulque, and opium, and quavo, and mastic, and~wedro. Every nation, barbaric as well as civilized, has its pet intoxicant. This Song of the Drunkards is rendered in Chinese, Hindoo, Arabian, Persian, MexfCan—yea, all the languages. All zones join it. No continent would be large enough for the choir gallery if all those who have this libretto in their hands should stand side by side to chant the international chorus. Other throngs are just learning the eight notes of this dreadful music which is already mastered by the orchestras in full voice under the batons in full swing. All the musicians assembled at Dusseldorf, of Berlin, or Boston Peace Jubilee, rendering symphonies, requiems; or grand marches or Handel, were Insignificant in nunabars as compared with the innumerable throngs, host beside host, gallery above gallery, who are now pouring forth the Bongngt the DninxardK—— Again, the Song of the, Drunkards is a suggestive song. You hear a nursery refrain, and right away you think of your childhood "home, and brothers and sisters with whom you played, and mother, long since gone to rest. You hear a national air, and you think of the encampment of 1863, and the still night on the river bank,-and the campfires that shook their reflections up and down the faces of the regiment. You hear an old church tune, and you are reminded of the revival scenos tmid which you were brought. to God. and so saved the life of a sentinel. The soldier was arrested and tried for falling asleep at his post one midnight; but he declared that he was awake at midnight and in proof that he was awake ne eaid that he had heard the unusual occurrence of the clock striking thirteen instead of twelve. He was laughed to scorn and sentenced to death; but three or four persons, hearing of the case, came up In time to swear that they, too, heard the clock strike thirteen that same midnight, and so the man's life was spared. My hearer, if you go on and thoroughly learn the Drunkards' Song, perhaps in the deep midnight of your soul there may sound something that will yet effect your moral and eternal rescue. But it is a risky "perhaps." It is exceptional. Go ahead on that wrong road and the clock will more probably strike the twelve -that closes your day of opportunity, than that it will strike thirteen, the sound of your'deliverance. A few Sabbaths, ago, on the steps of this church, a man whom I had known in other years confronted me. At the first glance, I saw, that he was in the fifth and last act of the tragedy of intemperance. Splendid even ^n. his ruin. The same brilliant eye, and the same courtly manners, and the remains of the same intellectual endowments but a wreck. I had, seen that craft when it ploughed the waters, all sails set and running by true compass; wife, and children, and friends on board, himself commanding in a voyage that he expected would be glorious, putting into prosperous harbors of earth and at last putting into the harbor of heaven.

W I T H E R S , t h e leader of Augustln D a l y ' s orchestra, enjoys the distinction o f having not only been a t t h e theater t h e night Lincoln w a s assassinated, but h a v i n g been pierced by the dagger of t h e a s - sassin Just a f e w m o m e n t s after Booth h a d fired t h e s h o t that made Lincoln a martyr. Here: is the story as he tells It: "I was leader of the orchestra a t the time, and a s the president was t o witn e s s the performance of 'Our American Cousin,' I thought that at befitting the occasion I would compose a song. So I did. It was entitled: 'Honor to Our Soldiers,' and dedicated t o tbe president. This was t o . be &ung between t w o of the acts by a quartet I had engaged and t h e entire company, w h o were to be attired in the American colors. "As I was on my way t o the theater I met John Wilkes Booth just in front of Geo. Harry's saloon, wiiich adjoined the theater.. It w a s a sultry night and Booth had his overcoat over bis arm. 'Good evening, B i l l y / h e said; 'come, h a v e something.' "As I was leaving to enter the theater Booth remarked: 'I'll witness the performance to-night.' I noticed nothing strange about h i s demeanor,, and subsequently saw him a s I was comi n g out for the overture. "Soon t h e president, h i s wife, MaJ. Rathbone, and Robert a n d Tad entered their box. I signaled for 'Hail to the ChieJfrLand the audience cheered and t h e president turned smilingly a n d bowed. Then h e seated himself, and with h i s accustomed m o d e s t y "drew the curtains half across the box. "After the first act J. P. Wright, the stage manager, sent m e word he would be unable t o have t h e special song s u n g a t that time, but would try and have it rendered between t h e second and third acts. A similar message w a s sent "me at the close of the second act, and I became somewhat exercised. I started t o g o upon t h e stage, w h e n I s a w Booth in the balcony, walking d o w n the aisle, in t h e direction of t h e president's box. He w a s seemingly attentive toward t h e acting*, for the curtain had gone up again. I encountered a scene shifter, Spangler, whose office I afterward learned was t o turn out the lights i n the theater a s soon a s t h e shot was fired.He obstructed my passage. " ' W h a t d o . y o u want here?' h e demanded. In reply I told him it w a s none of h i s business. Mr. Wright appearing, Spangler left h i s position o n the stage a)ongside~the box i n which w a s the apparatus for illuminating the theater. ~ I closed the lid of the box and sat upon it t o talk t o tbe manager, unconscious that I w a s spoiling t h e plan. "Mr. Wright told me the song would be s u n g a t the close o f the performance, and Miss Keene had sent word to the president requesting him to stay and hear it. "I was just about t o return t o the orchestra w h e n the crack of a revolver startled me. A l l was quiet instantly. I s a w _ a m a n j u m p from t h e p r e s i d e n t ' s : box on t o the stage. It was Booth. He ran directly toward the door leadi n g into the alley. This course brought h i m right in my path. H e had a dagger i n h i s hand, and h e waved it threateningly. H e evidently did n o t recognize me, for h e appeared like a maniac, h i s eyes seemed starting from their sockets, and his hair w a s disheveled. "With head d o w n he ran toward me and cried: 'Let m e p a s s / H e slashed at m e and t h e knife cut through my coat, vest and underclothing. H e struck again, t h e point of the weapon penetrating the back of m y j i e c k , and t h e blow brought me t o the floor. I watched him m a k e h i s e x i t into t h e alley, and caught s i g h t of the h o n e , held by 'Peanut John.' "The commotion i n t h e audience w a s s o m e t h i n g terrible,. Several actors, including Harry H a w k e , rushed out, and a m a n w h o proved t o be a det e c t i v e lifted m e up mnd said: ' I arrest, you.' I ' m s u b b e d . ' I w a s quickly told what w a s the m a t t e r . . The thought flashed across m y m i n a that Booth waa t h e assassin. "I w a s taken t o the police station and m y deposition waa received in the prese n c e of Mayor Wallach. T h a t was, I believe, the first intimation that they had of the identity of the murderer. 1 w a s a t t h e trial of t h e conspirators, s o d the second t o give testimony My wound healed in n :-' —.r i i r?.e S i x t e e n t h d a y . — N o session of t h e Senate.

Editor Pinckney DISPATCH : I beg leave to challenge the accuracy of Professor Sprout's "correction" . of your "pink edition." It may be admitted that the Professor has taught the Pinckney school from "time whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary" but when be dates it back to 1837 his chronology is as faulty as bis mental arithmetic. My father came to Putnam in 1836 and I have often beard bira say that there was then but one house in Pinekney and 1 don't toink that was a school-bouse. I did not "come to Michigan" until the last year of the first half of the century but I recollect very well some of those thrilling stories of bis first term, which be kindly forbears to repeat. Perhaps the professor's copy was correct but SOme "LAMBASTED TTPESETTEa" has g o t the figures mixed. Respectfully etc, J as. T. Eaman. No, Friend Eaman, the typesetter made no errors. He is" supposed to follow copy if "it takes him out of the window," t We confess the "correction" nearly took our breath but we set 'er up just as she read.

T was two years since Joe Beatiey had left his home in a quiet little y & ^ s w ,v-/ ^ Ohio town to seek S3 jUr^s l b n l * fortune in the wfaJXs* <* West. Fortwoyeara each working day had found him at his desk in a large mercantile house in Chicago. He had been fortunate in securing a position at once, through a brother of his town postmaster, who was now chief clerk In the office. Joe will never forget those two years—lonesome two years they were, the more lonesome, perhaps, because he had never been away from home and among strangers before. When he first came to Chicago the World's Fair and other attractions ^ a d e the city a wonderful place for the country boy, but these soon paled or passed away, and the loneliness settled upon him as he felt himself a stranger in a strange land. For a time he attended church, as had been his habit at home, but they were such large places, and the congregation and young folks dressed and acted so differently from the church folk at home that he finally got in the habit of staying away. He sorely missed his town acquaintances, the companionship of his sisters and brothers and the bright smile of Cousin Fan, who used to pop in so unexpectedly and leave such a volume of sunshine behind her when her father would come to town to do his marketing. The girls with whom some of his fellow-clerks associated, and with whom they tried to make him at home, somehow failed to fill the bill. Somehow it didn't seem right for the fellows to greet them on the street with a familiar slap on the shoulder and a "Hello, Kit, old girl, how you is?" and in spite of himself he felt too much of an aversion to them to enjoy himself or make himself entertaining and dropped them. At last a change came—gradually, to be sure, so slowly that Joe hardly knew there had been a change till It was there. For several days' the seat at the opposite end of the table in the restaurant Joe ate lunch had been occupied by a modest-appearing little woman, whose long lashes fringed the darkest of blue eyes and whose slightly pouting lips- and roundeeV-cheeks I seemed to be able Traffic In t h e Strand.

He reproached himself for not finding out more about her—perhape she was sick or had met. with an accident. At any rate, she knew his name and address why dldr£ she at least drop him a line? Sorery It was erttel to leave him in such uncertainty. He brooded over what might possibly have happened to her, till his health began to fail. He had never thought the daily walk of a few blocks could mean so much to him. Several weeks passed by and the chair still continued vacant On the very day his two years was up Joe remembered that she had spoken of. Oconomowoc one day in connection with her family. He would ask for a few days' respite from work and go up there. He had never asked for a vacation and they surely would not refuse him. Besides, it was not far from Chicago and many ChV^ge men went up Saturday nights to spend Sunday with their families who were stopping there. Anyhow, he would go for the rest of the week—possibly he might see her or learn of her and the change would do him good even if he didn't. The next morning, Wednesday, he started. He could only be spared for for the rest of the week, but what might not happen in four whole days? When he arrived at the depot of the pretty little Wisconsin town he found himself anxiously looking around, though he condemned himself for his foolishness in doing so—why should she be around the depot if she was in the town? After he had registered at a hotel he wandered aimlessly about the town, admiring the handsome houses and the beautiful twin lakes, and watching the launches, filled with happy campers, darting to and fro. In the afternoon he hired a boat and tried to fish, but after a couple of hours' effort, when only a couple of,sickly looking dogfish rewarded his efforts, he gave it up in disgust and returned to the hotel. At dinner that evening he was made aware of the fact that a circus was in town by a couple sitting across the table from him, who had come in from the surrounding country and were going. In the barber-shop also there was nothing talked of but the circus. It made him feel quite at home to see the enthusiasm created by, the mere "tact of-a circus being in town. How different from Chicago, where . nothing to command but passing interest. Then he remembered that at home everybody went to the eircus—why shouldn't they do it here?—and perhaps she might be there. He would go to the circus. It was a little late when Joe reached the tent: He had not calculated on how many would pe ahead of him for the single barber's chair nor how long it would take the hotel bootblack to put a satisfactory gloss on his shoes. Uold Robbery a t Toledo. The boldest holdup in the history of Toledo occurred at the octtee of the Northwestern Elevator and Mill Co., when a man dashed in and pointing a revolver at the head of the cashier, cried out: "Throw up your hands, give me your money or I'll blow your head off.'' He then walked behind the counter, still covering the cashier with the revolver, gathered up 1500 in currency, placed them in a cotton bag and coolly walked out, entered a buggy that was in waiting and drove of at a lively rate. It was pa^ day at the mill and the cashier was in the act of making up the envelopes when the robber entered. Deep Waterways from Lake* to Oceans.

She appeared glad to see him and* Joe felt supremely happy as explanations on both sides were being made—though he thought it strange that she assigned no reason for her sudden departure from Chicago. All things must have an end and the entertainment came to a close. Joe's request to "see her home" had been accepted and he seeded to be treading on air as he left the tent with the little hand resting lightly on his arm. As they were nearing a crossing and Joe was opening up a subject of carrying on a correspondence a woman's form came under the light across the way. Margaret half turned around to go back wKh a "Gracious, there's ma!" Joe looked more closely and saw a middle-aged woman with a determined- looking face hurrying toward them. She took Margaret sharply by the arm and drew her to one side as she said: "I've been hunting for you everywhere— what made you change your seat?

T h e Companion of t k e Dog*»Stat\ Sirlus, the dog-star, which la, the brightest to our eyes of all the fixed •tars, has a very remarkable companion, never visible except with powerful telescopes. It was first seen in 1812, and In 1810 it disappeared, the reason df its disappearance being that It had moved so close to Sirlus as to be lost to view in the overpowering light of that great star. During the time of Its visibility the fact had been ascertained that It ^ras revolving about filrius at A rate which would carry It completely around in Borne fifty years. The shape of its orbit, which is an ellipse with Sirlus situated in one of tbe feci, being calculated, astronomers felt certain that In a few years the vanished star would reappear as it moved into a^parL of Its orbit more distant from Sirlus. This expectation htm riow been futtUTed, for recently the missing star waa seen again at the Flagstaff observatory in Arizona. Although it is probably half as large as Sirlus, it Is but one tenthousandth part-aT"1uminous aa that "Saved My Life" A VETERAN'8 STORY. «'*(i Several years ago, while in Fort Snelling, Minn., I caught a severe cold, attended with a terrible cough, that allowed me no rest day or night.

Some of the experts employed dure Ing the trial of Maria Barber! charged $300 a day for their services. The entire cost of expert testimony In this trial was $10,000, and In the case of Dr. Meyer the expert testimony cost $62,- 000. District Attorney Olcott intends "to-draft a bill to be presented to the New York legislature enabling the city to employ its own experts at a stated salary. A short time ago some of thepupils attending the Riverside school in Montreal took into the school a quantity of cured smoking tobacco. By way of punishing them, W, A. Kneeland, the principal, made an infusion of the weed4 in a glass of water, and compelled a nirmber of the offenders to swallow some of the nauseating dose. Mr. Kneeland *was summoned before the board of school commissioners and reprimanded for infraction of the regulations on punishments. The board declared that in future the authorized modes of punishment must be adhered to. Summaries of the results of establishing postal.savings-bank systems;in a few important countries have been printed. Afeosg.ithese countries are England, Prance, Russia and Austria- Hungary. The main feature of the systems *s that the government, through its post-offlcee. ier the custodian of deposits in small amounts, especial attention being paid to encouraging the young to acquire the habit of saving. In England one person in every seven is a depositor in a postal bank, and the total amount of the deposits in the Keeping of the^ government is more than four hundrld million dollars. Although the system has never been tested in the United States, its adoption ha8 been urged by various public officials of high rank; and it is probable thai) the more than satisfactory results in foreign countries will lead to its establishment here. The largest national debt is that of -France, which Is $6,000,000,000, or nearly doable the debt of England, which is second on the list with $3,800,000,000. Austro-Hungary is third, with $3,030,- 000,000; Russia fourth, with-$2,875,000,- 000, and poor old Italy fifth, with $2,- 530,000,000; the United States seventh, with $996441,952. Though Spain is sixth, she is the only one of the lot which may be said to be completely bankrupt. ^ Her debt is $1,395,000,000. As far as lending power is concerned the French are altogether the richest people in the world, for it is an invariable rule in France to lay aside a certain percentage of one's income, no matter how small the income is. Following is the comparative list of the debts of all countries owing over $500,000,000 in 1896: France, $6,000,000,000; England, $3,300,000,000; Auetro-Hungary, $3,030.- 000,000; Russia, $2,875,000,000; Italy, $2,- 530,000,000; United States, $996,141,952; Spain, $1,395,000,000; Germany 420,000,- 000; Australasia, $1,200,000,000; Turkey, $900,000,000; Portugal, $765,000,000; India, $635,000,000; Brazil; $590,000,000: Egypt. $530,000,000. The total amount of interest on the world's debts approximates $1,115,000,000 annually, twenty years ago it was as much as $1,000,- 000,000, in spite of the fact of the present increase in 'the indebtedness of more than $5,000,000,000. In 1875 6paia* and Mexico were paying as high a s 1* and 18 per cent Considering the amount of her indebtedness, France pays the lowest amount of interest. She BRUBB ABEL! Who owned that difficult name, in which three times the letter "b" occurs, disposing most people to stammer in the pronunciation? Zerubbabel was the 'splendid man called- to rebuild the destroyed Temple at Jerusalem. Stone for the building had been quarried, and the trowel had rung at the laying of the corner-atone, and all went well, when the Cuthaean$ offered to help in the work. They were a bad lot of peqple, and Zerubbabel declined their help, and then the trouble began The Cuthaeans prejudiced the Secretary of the Treasury against Zerubbabel, so that the wages of the carpenters and masons could not be paid, and the heavy cedar timbers which had been dragged from Mount Lebanon to the Mediterranean and floated in rafts from Beyrout to Joppa, and were to be drawn by ox team from Joppa to Jerusalem, had halted, and as a result of the work of those jealous Cuthaeans for sixteen years the building of the Temple was stopped. But after sixteen years, Zerubabbel, the mighty soul, got a new call from God to go ahead with the Temple building, and the Angel of the Lord in substance said: "They have piled up obstacles in the way of Zerubbabel until they have become as a mountain, height above height, crag above crag'; but it shall all be thundered down and mjlde flat and smooth as the floor of % house. "Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain.'" Well, the Cuthaeans are not all dead yet. They are busy in every neighborhood and every city and every nation of every age, heaping obstacles tn the way of the cause of God. They have piled up hindrances above hindrances until they have become a hill, and the hill has become a mountain, and the mountain has become an Alp, and there it stands, right in the way of all movements for the world's salvation. Some people are . so discouraged about the height and breadth of this mountain in tronf. of them that they have done nothing fpr sixteen years and many of those who are at work trying to do something toward be. tlwsn/ * These >pr*ja« tesd against the Bible do not know that the explorations tn Egypt and Palestine and Syria are confirming the Soripturea,~-* hc same facts written on monuments and on walls of exhumed cities as written in the Bible. The city of Plthom has been unburied, and its brlcki are found to have been made without straw, exactly corresponding with the Bible story of the persecuted Hebrews. On terra cotta cylinder recently brought up from thousands ot years of burial, the capture of Babylon by Cyrus is told. On a Babylonian gem recently found are the figures of a tree, a man. a woman, and a serpent, and the hands of the man and woman are stretched up toward the tree as if to pluck the fruit. Thus the Bible story of the Full is confirmed. In p. museum at Constantinople you see a piece of the wall that once in the ancient Temple of Jerusalem separated the court of the Gentiles and the court of the Israelites, to which Paul refers when he says of Christ, "He is our peace, who hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us." On tablets recently discovered have been found the names of prominent men of the Bible, spelled a little different, according to the demands of ancient language. "Adamu" for Adam, "Abramn" for Abraham, "Ablu" for Abel, and so on. Twentytwo feet under ground has been found a seal inscribed with the words "Haggai, son of Shebanlah," thousands of years ago cut, showing that the Prophet Haggai, who wrote a part of the Bible, was not a myth. The Royal Engineers have found, eighty feet below the surface of the ground at Jeru-" salem, Phoenician pottery and hewn stones with inscriptions, showing that they were furnished by Hiram, King of Tyre, just as the Bible says they were. The great names of Bible history, that many suppose are names of imaginary beings, are found cut into imperishable stones which have within a few years been rolled up from their mtmmmm and is it possible .that this mountain, before our Zerubbabel, can ever jit made a plain? There is* also the Mountain of W*iV the most volcanic of all mountaMs,^ the Vesuvius which, not content, Mke the Vesuvius of Italy, with whelming two oities, Herculaneum and Pompeii, has covered with its fiery scoria thousands of cities and would like to whelm all the cities of both hemispheres. Give this mountain full utterance, and it would cover up Washington and New York and London as; easily as a householder, with his shoVei, at ten o'clock at night banks a grate ilre with ashes. This mountain is a pile of fortresses,' barricades, and armories, the world's artillery heaped, wheels above wheels, columblads above Columbians, seventyfour pounders above seventy-four pounders, wrecked nations above wrecked nations. This Mountain of War is not only loaded to cannonade the earth, but It is also a cemetery, holding the corpses of thirty million slain in the wars of Alexander and Cyrus, sixty million slain in Roman wars, one hundred and eighty million Blain in war with Turks and Saracens, and holding about thirty-five billion eorjxies, not million but billion. "What a hissing, bellowing, tumbling, soaring force is Kilauea! Lake of unquenchable Are: convolutions and paroxysms of flame: elements of nature In torture, torridity and luridity: congregation of dreads: molten horrors: sulphurous abysms: swirling mystery of all time: infinite turbulence: chimney of perdition: wallowing terrors: fifteen acres of threats: glooms insufferable and Dantesque: cauldron stirred by the champion witch of Pandemoaium: camp-fire of the armies of Diabolus: wrath of the mountains in full bloom: shimmering Incandescence: pyrotechnics" of the planet: furnace-blast of the ages: Kilauea!" But, my friends, mightier, higher, vaster, hotter, more raging is the volcanic Mountain of War. It has entombment of ages, such as Sen-^kbeen blazing for hundreds of years, nacherib and Tiglath-Pileser.

They feel they must do their duty, but they feel all the time—I can hear it in* their prayers and exhortations—that they are striking their pickaxes and shovels Into the side of the Rocky Mountains. If the good Lord will help me while I preach I will give you the names of some of the high mountains which are really in the way, and then show you that those mountains are to be prostrated, torn down, ground up, leveled, put out of sight forever. "Who art thou, O great mountain? before' Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain." First, there Is the Mountain of Prejudice, as long as a range of the Pyrenees. Prejudice against the Bible as a dull book, an inconsistent book, a cruel book, an unclean book, and in every way-an unfit book. The most of them have never read it. They think the strata of the rocks contradict the account in Genesis. The poor souls do„ not know that the Mosaic account agrees exactly with the geological account No violin or flute ever were in better accord. By crowbar and pickaxe arid shovel and blasting powder the geologist goes down in the earth and •ays, "The first thing created in the furnishing of the earth was the plants." Moses says, "Ay! I told you that in the Book of Genesis: 'The «arth brought fourth grass and herb, yielding seed after his kind, aad the tree yielding fruit'" The geologist goes on digging in the earth, and says, "The next thing in the furnishing of the earth was the making of the creatures of the sea:" Moses says, "Ay! I told you that was next in the Book ©f^Genestsr^God saidVLet the^ waters bring forth abundantly _ the ' moving creatures thai have life; and God created great whales^*1**- The geologist goes on digging, .and says, "The next edge of a bronzed step, and on burned brick has been found the name of Nebuchadnezzar. Henry Rawlinson and Oppert and Hincks, and Palestine exploration societies, and AsyrfologisU, and Egyptologists, have rolled another Bible up from the depths of the earth, and lo! it corresponds exactly with our Bible, the rock Bible Just like the printed Bible, inscriptions on cylinders and brick-work-cut thirty-eight hundred .years before Christ testifying to the truth of what we read eighteen hundred and ninety-seven years after Christ. The story of the Tower of Babel has been confirmed by the fact that recently at Babel an oblong pile of brick one hundred and ten feet high evidences the remains of a fallen tower. ,** was the creation of the cattle and the reptiles and the beasts cf the field." VbjT says Mosss;-"! t«ld you that was next In the first chapter of Genesis: 'And God said, Let tht earth- -bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and ereeping thing, and beast l of the earth after his kind.' •• The geologist goes on digging in the earth, and says, "The next creature was the human family. "Ay!" says Moras: f l "Tn the inspired Book of Ezra we read of the great and noble Asnapper, a name that meant nothing especial, until recently, in pried-up Egyptian sculpture, we have the story there told of him as a great hunter as w€ll as a great warrior. What I say "now is news to those prejudiced against the Bible. They are so far behind the times that they know not that the Old Book is being proved true by the prying eye of the antiquarian and the ringing hammer of the archaeologist and the plunging crowbar of the geologist but I dare not hazard a prophecy. Can it be that its fires will ever be put out? Can it be that its roar will ever be sileneM? Can it be that before our Zerubbabel that blazing mountain will ever become, a plain? Sometimes a general begins a battle before he is ready, because the enemy forces it on him. The general says, "The enemy are pushing us, and so I open battle. We are *ot sufficient to eope with them, but I hope the reserve forces will come up in time." The battle rages, and the general looks through his field glass at the troops, but ever and-,anon he sweeps his fieldglass backward and upward toward the bill, t" see if the reserve forces are coming^ 10Iar4--Buahed-are w*i^sayT the general. "1 do wish those reinforcemetts would come up."

"Pharaoft, a great, brawnjr Swati, who bad been working tor me at Pilgrims' Rest, lajigbed, rose, and^strefcehed himself, and then calling to Vify-Jlm to bring the ax and a neim, started off In the moonlight ^towa^l a cla»> of sugar-hush where we cu^ our fuel from some dead ties*, He was a ftne fellow in this way, was Pharaoh because he had an Egyptian cast of countenance and a royal sort of swagger about him. But his way was a somewhat peculiar way, on account of the uncertainty of his temper, and very few'people could get on with him; also U he could get It he would drink like a fish, and when he drank he became shockingly bloodthirsty. Xhese were his had points; his good ones were that, like most people of* the Zulu blood, he became exceedingly attached to you if he took to you at all; he was a hard-working and Intelligent man, and.about as daredevil and plucky a fellow at a pinch as I ever had to do with. He was about flve-and-thlrty years of age or so, but not a 'keshla' or ringed-man. I believe he got into trouble in some way In Swaziland, and the authorities of his tribe would not allow him to assume the ring, and that is why . he came to work at the gold fields. The other man, or rather lad, Jim-Jim, was a Mapoch Kafir, or Knoboose, and •ven in the light of subsequent events I fear that I cannot speak,v«ry well of him. He was an idle and careless young rascal, and only that very morning I had to tell Pharaoh to whip him Cor letting the oxen stray, which he did with the greatest gusto, although he was, in his own way, very fond of Jim- Jim, and I saw him consoling him afterward with a pinch of snuff from his own ear-box, whilst he explained to him that the next time it came in the way of duty to flog him, he meant to thrash with the other hand, so as to cross the old cuts and make a 'pretty pattern' on his back. "Well, off they went, though Jima sound more,Ilka a cough .than a rear within about twenty yards of the akerm. We all looked out, but could see nothing; and then followed another period of suspense. It was very trying to the nerves, this waiting for an attack that might he developed from any auarter or might not be developed at all; and though I was'a very old hand at this sort of business X was anxious about Harry, for it Is wonder* ful how the presence of anybody to whom one is attached unnerves a man in moments of danger, and that made me nervous, I know, although it was now chilly enough, I could feel the perspiration running down my nose, and in order to relieve the strain on my attention employed myself watching a beetle which appeared to be attracted by the fire-light, and was sitting before it thoroughly rubbing his antennae against each- other. "Suddenly the beetle gave 'such a jump that he nearly jumped headlong into the fire, and so did we all—give Jumps, I mean, and no wonder, for from right under the skerm fence there came the most frightful roar—a roar that literally made the Scotch cart shake and took the breath out of you. "Harry ejaculated and turned rather green, Jim-Jim howled outright, while the poor oxen stood and shivered and lowed piteously. "The night was almost entirely dark now, for the moon had quite set and the clouds had covered up the stars, so that the only light we had was from the fire, which was burning up brightly again now; but, as you know, firelight i s absolutely useless to shoot by, it is so uncertain, and besides it penetrates but a very little way into the j- darkness, although if one is in the dark outside one can see it from so far away. "Bresently the oxen, after standing still for a moment, suddenly winded the lion and did what I feared they would do—began to 'shrek,' that is to try and break loose from the trektow to which they were tied, and rush off madly into the wilderness. Lions know of this habit on the part of oxem, which art, I do believe, the moat /oollah animals under the sun, a sheep being a very Solomon compared to them; and it is by no means uncommon for a lion to get in such a position that a herd or span of oxen may wind him, shrek, b**»ak their reins, and rush off into the bush. Of course, once they are there, they are helpless in the dark; and then the lion chooses the one that he loves best and eats him at his leisure. ,t "Well, round and round went our six poor oxen, nearly trampling us to death in their mad rush; indeed, had we not hastily tumbted out of the way, we should have been trampled to death, or~~~at least seriously injured^ Jim dldTnot at all like leaving the camp at that hour, even though the moonlight was so bright, and in due "course returned safely enough with a great bundle of wood. I laughed at Jim-Jim, and asked him if he had seen anything, and he said yes, he had; he had seen two large yellow eyes staring at him from~behlnd a buBh, and heard something snore. "As, however, on further investigation the yellow eyes and the snore appeared to have existed oal^ in Jim- Jim's lively imagination, I was not greatly disturbed by this alarming report; but having seen to making up of the fire, got into the skerm and went auiethy to sleep with Harry by my tide. "Some hours afterward I woke up with a start I don't know what woke me. The moon had gone down, or at least 'was almost hidden behind thef •oft horizon of bush, only her red rim' being visible. Also a wind had sprung up and was driving long hurrying lines of cloud across the starry sky, and altogether a great change had came over the mood of the-^ night. By the look of the sky I judged that we must be about two hours from day-break. "The oxen, which were as usual tied to the ddsselboom of the Scotch cart, * we're very restless—they kept snuffing and blowing, and rising up and lying down again* and I at once suBpected that thejr must wind something. Presently I knew what it was that they winded, for within fifty yards of us a Hon roared not.very loud. "Pharaoh was sleeping on the otfcier " I aide of the. cart, and beneath it I a&wV* f a i m raise his head and listen. / " 'Lion. Inkoos/ he whispered, 'Hon/ 44Jim-Jim also jumped up, anuVby^Z she faint light I could see that he was i n a very great_fright "Thinking that it wnaj»s well to be prepared «er—emergencies, I - told4 Pharaoh to throw wood upon the fire, and woke up Harry, who J verily bejjeve was capable of sleeping through t h e crack of doom. He was a little 1 •oared at first, but presently the exciteanent ef the position came home to him, and he became quite anxious to see his majesty face to face. I got my rifle fcandy and gave Harry his—a Westley falling block, which is a very gun for a youth, being light and ywt a sjeed killing rifle, and then we * long time nothing happened, e n * I began to think that the best tfciag feat we oould do would he to ge eA sleep again, when suddenly I heard -v. As it was, "HaTi^_was run ever, and poor Jim-Jim being caught by the trektow somewhere beneath his arm, was hurled right across the skerm, landing by my side only some paces off. "Snap went the dlsselboem of the cart beneath the transverse strain put upon it. Had it not broken the cart would have overset; as it was, in another minute, oxen, cart, trektow, reins, broken disselboom, and everything were soon tied in one vast heaving, plunging, bellowing, and seemingly inextricable knot. "For a. moment or two this state of affairs took my attention off from the lion that had caused it, but whilst I was wondering what on earth was to be done next, and what we should do if the cattle broke loose into the bush and were lost, for cattle frightened in this manner will go right away like mad things, it was very suddenly recalled in a very painful fashion. "For at that moment I perceived by the light of the fire, a kind of gleam of yellow traveling through the air toward us. "'The lion! the lion!' hallooed Pharaoh, and as he did so, he, or rather she, for it was a great gaunt lioness, half wild no doubt with hunger, lit right in the middle of the skerm, and stood there in the smoky gloom, and lashed her tail and roared. I seized my rifle and fired at her, but what between the confusion, and my agitation, and the uncertain Hght, I missed her and nearly shot Pharaoh. The, flash of the rifle, however, threw the whole scene into stroag relief, and a ild one it was I can tell you—with the seething mass of oxen twisted all \around the cart, in such a fashion that their heads looked as though they were growing out of their rumps and their horns seemed to protrude from their backs; the smoking iire with just a blase in the heart of the smoke* Jim- Jim in t h e foreground, w^iere th« oxen had thrown him in their wild rush, stretched out there in terror; and t h e n ] as a center t o the picture the great gaunt lioness glaring round with SB had seised turn by the nee*., and with a sudden jerk thrown his body over her back so that his legs hung down upon the further aide. Then, Without the slightest hesitation, and apparently I without any difficulty she cleared thpl skerm fence at a single bound, a n d ] bearing poor Jim-Jim with her, vanished into the darkness beyond, in the direction of the bathing-place that I have already described. We jumped up perfectly mad with horror and fear, and rushed wildly after her, firing shots at hap-haxard on the chance that she would be frightened by them into dropping her prey, but nothing could w e see, and nothing could we hear. The lioness had vanished into the darkness taking Jim-Jim with her, and to attempt to follow her until daylight was madness. We should only expose ourselves to the, risk of a like fate. "So with scared and heavy hearts we crept back to the skerm, and sat down to wait for daylight, which now could not be much more than an hour off. It was absolutely useless to try even to disentanglcrHhe oxen till then, so all that there was left for us to do was to sit and wonder how it came to pass that the one should be taken and the other left, and to hope against hope that eur poor servant might have been mercifully delivered from the lion's jaws. At length the faint light came stealing like a ghoat up the long slope of bush, and glinted on the tangled oxen's horns, and with white and frightened faces we got up and set to the task of disentangling the oxen till such time as ther should be light enough to enable us to follow the trail of the lioness which had gone off with Jim-Jim. And Here a fresh trouble awaited us, for when at last with infinite difficulty we had got the helpless brutes loose, it was only to find that one of the best of them was, very sick. There was no mistake about the way he stood With his legs slightly apart and his head hanging down. He had got the red water, I was sure of it. Of all the difficulties connected with life and traveling in South Africa, those connected with oxen are perhaps the worst. The ox is the most exasperating animal in the world. He has absolutely no constitution, and never neglects an opportunity ef falling sick of some mysterious disease. He will get thin upon the slightest provocation, and from mere maliciousness die of 'poverty;' whereas it is his chief delight to turn round and refuse to pull whenever he finds himself well in the center of a river, or the wagon-wheel nicely fast in a mudhole. There is always something wrong with him. "Well, it was no use crying as I should almost have liked to do, because if this ox had red-water it was probabiejthat the rest__of_theniJiad it, too, although they had been sold to me as hungry yellow eyes, and roaring and whining as she made up her mind what to do. "It did not take her long, just the time that it takes a flash to die into darkness, and then, before I oould fire again or do anything, with a meat fiendish snort she sprang upon poor Jim-Jim. "I heard the unfortunate lad shriek, and then almost inatantlr I saw his legs thrown into rhr air. The lioness •vV 'salted,' that is, proof against such diseases as red-water and lung-sick. One \ gets hardened to this sort of thing in South Africa in course of time, for I suppose in no other country in the world Is the waste of animal life so great. "So, taking my rifle and telling Harry to follow me (for we had to leave Pharaeh to look after the oxen, Pharaoh's lean kine, I called them), I started to see if anything could be found of or appertaining to the u n - fortunate Jim-Jim. The ground round our little eamp was hard and rocky, and we could not hit off any spoor of the lioness, though just outside the skerm we saw a drop or two of blood. Several hundred yards from the camp, and a Httle to the right, was a. patch of sugar -trash mixed up with the usual mimosa, and for this I made, thinking that the lioness would have been sore to take her prey there to devour it On we pushed through the long grass that was bent down beneath the weight of the soaking dew. In two minutes we were wet through up to the thighs, as wet as though we had waded through, water. In due course, however, we reached the patch of bush, and in the gray light of the morning cautiously and slowly pushed our way into i t It was very dark under the trees, for the sun was not yet up, so we progressed with the most extreme care, half expecting every minute to come across the lioness licking the bones of poor Jim-Jim. But no lioness could we see, and as for Jim-Jim, there was not the least trace of him to be found. Evidently they had not come there. "So, pushing through the hush we proceeded to hunt every -other likely spot about, with the same result " 'I suppose she must hare taken him right away,' I said at last, sadly } enough. 'At any rate he will be dead by now, so God have w e r e ? on him, we can't help him.

Wing resides at 012 N. Jack . ton Street, Jackson, Mich. He is a keeper in the Michigan State Prison, a man of stc; ling integrity, and whose word is beyon . dispute, Jfle tells the following story of » wonderful escape, and the incidents conected with the dangerous position i which he was phiced. He says, snitu -months ago my attention was attracted 1, a swelling of my grains, which began i increase in size to tmch an extent that i was alarmed. It spread down my legs tmy feet, and I was Moated from my wui: down, so badly that I could not pull my pants, over my legs, and I hud to open im -two inches before—£eottMgrr them on. Even my face became puflVu * up; and my whole system seemed affectci i . I could hardly drug myself upstairs ( unlock ray men. I consulted a physician one of the best in the city. He said tin swelling was caused by an irritation of th> kidneys, and I commenced treatment wit! him. But I seemed to be getting worse. < was strongly urged by a friend to tr Doan's Kidney Pills, and I finally coi ' Rented. After the first week I commenc< .. to see a change, ana felt much better. This was encouraging, and I continue » their use. I took five boxes in all, with the happy result that I was completely cured I have never heard of any medicine* which had such a: pronounced and radical effec t. and yet not affect the system generally and leave it in such a good condition. I jfeej better now than I ever did. After .the effect was once established the swelling .'gradually disappeared until it was entirely 'gone. I regard Doan's Kidney Pills as a most wonderful agqnt in the curing of any form of kidney disorder. —* Por^sJe by all dealers—price. 60 centa- gtr box. Mailed by Foster-Milburn Co., uffalo, N.

T WAS while crulain* abaut off the east coast of North Carolina that I first made the acquaintance of Mark Dare, one of the beatknown divers for miles around. Me was a man of some 72 years when 1 first met him, but one would have set him down at not more than 55 to look at him. Tall, straight as a stick, of powerful build, and with a face denoting in every lineament the daring,fearlessness of his nature, he was a man calculated to inspire admliation wherever he went; He was as full of stories as one of he tallest buildings in New York City, jnd nothing pleased him'better than o relate his experiences to an attentive listener. Among other yarns, he spun to me the following adventure, which, he stated, was the narrowest escape he had ever .had from death; It seems the Atlanta, one of the finest ousting vessels,on the coast of North Carolina and Georgia, was capsized in" i squall on the 22d of September, 1853. ind sank just inside the bar, near the ' it tie tovn of Morehead. The.owners of the craft contracted •vith a diving company to have her •:>iscd and to recover as much of her •*irgo as was still serviceable. Mark l);;ro and another diver were •nrage.'i to ,:'o the work. They made neral successful descqnts, but on the ;'ourth trip Mark met with the advennre of which I spoke. Hi3 comrale signaled hastily to be lrawn up, • ar.'l when he had been hau^d-lnto the boat he related how !)are had been seized by a huge white •hark and carried off. But scarcely had 'ie done speaking when Mark rose from the water, fifty yards from the boat and was picked up insensible, with several ragged holes punched in the metallic >art of his diving suit. Means were successfully adopted to bring him ound, and, when he had sufficiently recovered, he told of his thrilling experience. . •. • . . ' "A& you know," said he, "we had made our fourth descent, and while ray companions cumbered Into the submerged vessel I waited on the ground •ill he should attach the cords to draw something-oat. I was about to signal to be drawn up for a moment's rest, when I noticed a shadowy body moving at some distance above my head and toward me. "In a moment every fish had disappeared as if by magic; the, very crustaceans themselves lay still upon the sand, and the scuttle-fish scurried away us fast as they could. "I was not. thinking of danger, and my first thought was that it was the _shadow__oL a naHB|ng—boat.—Btrt-Buu> denly a feeling of terror seized me. I felt impelled to flee from something ! knew not what. A vague horror seemed grasping me, such as a child fancies when leaving a darkened room? "By this time the shadow had come nearer and taken shape. It had scarcely needed a glance to show me that it was a man-eaten, and of the largest size. "Had I signaled to be drawn up then it would have been certain death. All * » * • "The cavernous Jaws opened and the long, stuny teeth grated as they cloaed on my metal harness. It had me! I could feel fhose sharp teeth grinding upon my copper breastplate as It triad to bite me in two; for, fortunately it had caught me just across the middle, where I was best protected. "Having seized me, the man-eater went tearing through the water. I could feel it bound forward at every stroke of its tail. Had it not been for my copper helmet, my head would have been torn off by the rush through the water. "I was perfectly conscious, but somehow I felt no terror at all. There seemed only a feeling of nujnbness. I wondered how long it would be before those teeth would crunch through, and whether they would strike first into my back or my breast. "All these thoughts passed through ray brain in an instant, but In that time the connecting air tube had* been snapped and my head appeared ready to burst with pressure, while the monster's teeth kept crunching, crunching away upon my harness. "Then I felt the cold water begin to pour In, and heard the bubble, bubble, bubble, as the air escaped into the' shark'8 mouth. "I began to hear great guns, and to see fireworks and rainbows and sunshine, and all kinds of pretty things, f hen I thought I was floating away on a rosy summer cloud, dreaming to the sounds o' sweet music, which every moment became fainter and fainter, until only a lowium reached me. Then all became blank. "The shark m'ghi have eaten me then at bis leisure, and I never would have been the wiser. Whatever'induced the creature to release me, of course I shall never know—perhaps he found me too tough—but, be that as it may, you can imagine my astonishment and delight when I opened my eyes oh board this boat and saw you fellows around me."

Maceo was eulogized as a hero whose memory would be honored by the people of Cuban libre as the American people honored the heroes of revolutionary days. Mr. Turpie did not conclude hi* speech. A portion of the day was devoted to eulogies on the late ex- Speaker Chas. F. Crisp. Memorials were presented from the presidential electors of Delaware asking for a congressional investigation of alleged frauds and political irregularities in that state and Mr. lUirrows, of Michiganypresented petitions 'on the same subject which make sensational charges of briber}', corruption aud defiance of law in the political contests of Delaware.

HOUHK.—After consuming most of the time in disposing of District of Columbia business, the House took up the indian appropriation bill and made fair progress with it before the hour for adjourment was reached. SKHATK.— 31st d a y . — M L Turpie, of Indiana, concluded his speech in favor of the recognition of Cuba, urginsr that Spain had utterly failed to quell the outbreak and that the United States should intervene. The Wolcott bill for an international monetary conference wasicon side red for the first time. There were several speeches against it, but it was made evident that the bill would meet with little opposition beyond the expression of several senators that it would accomplish nothing. Mr, Stewart offered an amendment providing that in case the conference fails the. secretary of the treasury shall within 30 days begin the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver. The Nicaragua canal debate was resumed, Mr. Daniel speaking against the measure. Mr. Morgan submitted a letter from President Hitchcock, of the canal company, replying to the recent letter of Minister Rodriguez, of the Greater Republic of Central America. Mr. Morgan also offered an amendment designed to meet the objections presented by Mr. Rodriguez. HOUSE—The debate of the Indian appropriation bill was the principal feature of the session. / SENATE.—32nd day.—X crisis was reached in the debate ern the Nicaragua canal bill and it brought out an energetic statement from Mr. Sherman in which he fore£hadow«d a new treaty in which the'United States could buy. the canal*with/out any intermediation of a private" concession. The senator declared that this governmental execu-, tion of the project was the ^>n)y feasible one. Answering' Mr. Morgan's recent charge that England inspired opposition to American control of the canal. Mr. Sherman asserted that this was wholly without foundation. Mr. Vilas moved to recommit the bill to the committee on foreign relations, a step which Mr. Morgan characterized as an insult. The motion was changed so as to make the recommittal to the special committee of which Mr; Morgan is chairman, but no vote was taken on the motion. The military academy appropriation bill, carrying approximately $479,000. was passed. HOUSE— After a debate of four hours the conference report on the immigration bill was ad opted. The principal criticism of the measure was based upon the extension of the educational test to female as well a male immigrants on the ground that it might divide families, andto" thelimitation of "the ability of an immigrant to read and write the "English language or the language of the native country or residence." SENATE—33d day—The open session was comparatively brief, as jpore than half the day was spent behind closed doors. During the open session the bill for an international monetary conference was debated, Mr. Chandler speaking in favor of it and Mr. Stewart, of Nevada, against The Nicaragua canal bill and the bankruptcy bill were before the Senate for a brief time, but no progress was made on either of them. Early in the day a lively debate occurred over Mr. Allen's re solution questioning the right ef the President to foreclose against the Pacific railroads. The resolutions went over. HorsK—The Indian appropriation bill was passed and the consideration of tb^ agricultural appropriation beguju but all interest in these two measures was overshadowed by two,^ very remarkable speeches, one made by Mr. (irosvenor, of Ohio, attacking ex-Gov.

Established 1896, ULES MASSENET, the leading composer of France, who has decided to come to America and spend the remainder of his life, is the successor of Gounod and Ambroise Thomas, and is, indeed, a pupil of the latter named naster.' He is principally known for his operas, the chief of which "Manoh," is familar to loveqa of grand opera in America. With Massenet permanently residing in the United States Americans will have the advantage of his personal leadership in the production of his operas. Tender and melodious as Is "Morton;" it does not greatly overshadow his other operas In /;r<ui;!eur and tenderness. His versatility is shown plentifully In "Roi de Lahor^Z-llL&M&ssljand^LA Cid."

Massenet's forte is in the musical protrayal of passion, and the salient quality of his operatic wcrks appears in his religious .uusic, which Is of the ecstatic kind. Massenet at 11 "entered the conservatory under. Bazln, who advised him to stop the study Of music and dismissed him from the class. A few years later Reber thought so well of him as to commend him to Thomas. In 1863 he took the prize In counterpoint and fugue and was sent abroad by the government as a reward.

EVOLUTION OF THE POSTER. T h e O l d - F a s h l o n t it C i r c u s A d v e r t i s e - m e n t s D e l i g h t O n e ' s S o u l . The step was an easy one from signboard painting to designing for pictor d posters, says Lippincott's. When the production of wood cuts in colors was invented it was not long ere business men snapped at this manner of introducing their wares and "the poor man's picture gallery" spread over every boarding throughout the British isles and much of America, as well. Theatrical managers and colhpbunders of patent medicines especially caught at the new idea; the most thrilling blood-and-thunder scenes and miraculous "Before and Afters," setting forth the virtues of Blank's pills and Dash's specifics decorated the whole countrywide— gaudy, badly executed prints, struck from wooden blocks that superimposed one croas-hatchlng of color upon another. And yet even these horrors had their use in adding a splashy of brightness to a too often somber, puritanical world. Was there not a fascinating Interest about the cadaverous old women clutching a-bottle of herb decoction in one hand, while with the other she flung away her crutch, even as those possessed of faith do now before the bone of Ste. Anne? And who can ever forget his or her juvenile delight at the Imposing circus posters displaying the cavern-mouthed hippope tamus, the gigantic elephant with trailing ears._an4-the' dromedary with enough humps to put the -dromedary of geography to the blush? to say naught of the "flying sylph" taking aerial hoops as easily as one would a buckwheat cake and the "king of acrobats" performing feats that brought one's heart into one's throat. Nor did the trifling, fact that the circus itself never rose to the promise of its posters detract from its charm. For, as the prince of showmen said: "The public loves to be humbugged."

How vivid becomes the recollection of an old friend if he lives in a town where you want something done. People get thanks from employers not for the work they do so much as for the amount of work they can get out of •ther people. Woman's intuition is seldom at fault, , tut it occasionally fails to tell her how to deal with an old beau after she has married the other fellow. If a mountain should suddenly appear in the middle or Lake Mlcnlgan, there would soon be some fellow-*"around claiming that he caused the phenomenon by throwing a brick Into the water. A year ago rumors of wars filled the jMr. The same rumors are still in the air and statesmen are still jawing each other. They seem to have become inoculated with the contagion that afflicts ths pugilists. Chicago and New York retail merchants have organized to fight the big department stores. These mammoth concerns threaten to drive the small dealers out of business and they are uniting for self-protection. In Chicago the email dealers are securing pledges from the people not to trade at the department stores. It is claimed that real estate has depreciated because email store rooms cannot be rented and that business for the small dealers has been practlc^Ry^ruined. A tax upon, newspaper advertisements has been introduced in the Spanish cortes, and the newspapers of Spain are raising a storm of Indignation about it/.aa it is likely to ruin a great number of provincial newspapers. Publishers and editors have united in addressing the minister of finance in . a memorial, protesting against the tax.* ln}° *°me c i t y - without, having appoint The minister of finance, howexsf7 has declared that he cannot consistently recede froni the^p^TtTon'^eTaaTaJtea" from the first, and since the cortes has decreed that such a tax on advertisements is fair and would increase the revenue of the countrycwhich needs money very badly just now, there will be nothing left to the publisher^ but to pay up or go out of business. London is excited just now over a small bey of 8 years', who has-the moat astonishing knack of sketching portraits ever vouchsafed one so young. The child, called Little Stanley, te the eon of a sign-painter and ticket-writer in moderate circumstances. The foundation of the boy's fortunes dates from a recent race meeting, where the Prince of Wales was attracted by a crowd watching the small artist sketch prominent people, rewarding him with pennies. Among the pictures was one of the prince and that gentleman was so pleased- be sent the boy a sovereign, which, suitably mounted, he now wears as a locket A few nights ago the boy appeared at a concert, where were present the Dukes of Cambridge and Teck among other notables and all were surprised at the boy's skill. He can sketch Gladstone In eight and one' halt seconds and draws 200 prominent men from memory. He is engaged at a music hall at present, HERE is a/very sick child tn the abode of David the k i n g . D i s e a se, which stalks up the dark lane of the poor and puts its smothering hand on lip and nostril of the wan and wasted also mounts the palace 8tairs,and bending over the pillow, blows into the face of a young prince the frosts of pain and death. Tears are wine to the. King of Terrors. Alas! for David the king. He can neither sleep nor eat, and lies prostrate on his face, weeping and wailing until the palace rings with the outcry of woe. What are courtly attendants, or victorious armies, or conquered provinces, under such circumstances? What to any parent is all splendid surroundings when his child is sick? Seven days have passed on. There, in that great house, two eyelids are gently closed, two little hands folded, two little feet Quiet, one heart still. The servants come to bear the tidings to the king, but they cannot make up their minds to tell him, and they stand at the door whispering about the matter, and David hears them and he looks up and says to them, "Is the child dead?" "Yes, he is dead." David rouses himself up, washes himself, puts on new apparel, and sits down to food. What power hushed that tempest? What strength was it that lifted up that king whom grief had dethroned? Oh, it was the thought that he would come again into the possession of that darling child. . No gravedigger's spade could hide him. • The wintry blasts of death could not put out the bright light. There would be a forge somewhere that with silver hammer would weld the broken links. In»a city wthere the hoofs of the pale horse never strike the pavement he would clasp his lost treasure. He wipes away the tears from his eyes, and he clears the choking grief from his throat, and exclaims, "I shall go to him." Was David right or wrong? If we part on earth will we meet again in the next world? "Well," says some one, "that seemtf to be an impossibility. Heaven is so large a p/ace we D^ver could find our kindred there."

It is so vast a realm, rjohn went up-on one mountain of inspiration, and he looked off upon the multitude, and he said: "Thousands of thousands." Then he came upon a greater altitude of inspiration and looked off upon it again, and he said: "Ten thousand times ten thousand." And then ho came on a higher mount of Inspiration, and looked off again and he said: "A hundred and forty and four thousand and thousands of thousands." And 1*3 came on a still greater height of inspiration, and he looked off again, and exclaimed: "A great multitude that no man can number." The object of this sermon is to take this theory out of the region of surmise and speculation into the region of positive certainty. People say, "It would be very pleasant If that doctrine were true. I hope it may be true. Perhaps it is true. I wish it were trne." But X believe that I can bring an accumulation of argument to bear upen this matter which will prove the doctrine of future recognition as plainly as that there Is any heaven at all, and that the kiss of reunion at the celestial gate will be as certain as the dying kiss at the door of the sepulchre. What does my text imply? "I shall go to him." What consolation would it be to David to go to his child Jf he would not know him? Would David have been-allowed to record tlUs anticipation for the inspection of all ages if it were a groundless anticipation? We if those disciples utandlng on the earth could recognise these two spirits who had been for years in heaven, do you tell me that we, with our heavenly eyesight, will not bo able to recognise those who have gone out from among us only five, ten, twenty, thirty years ago? You know very well that our Joy in any circumstances is augmented by the companionship of our friends. We cannot see a picture with less than four eyes, or hear a soug with less than four ears. We want some one beside us with whom to exchange glances and sympathies; and I suppose the joy of heaven is to be augmented by the fact that we are to have our friends with us when there rise before us the thrones of the blest and when there surges.**? In our ear the jubilate of the saved. Heaven is not a contraction. , It is an expansion. If I know you here, I will know you better there. Here 1 see you with only two eyes, but there the soul shall have a million eyes. It will be immortality gazing on immortality— ransomed spirit inlfaUoquy with ransomed spirit—victor beside victor. When John Evans, the Scotch minister, was seated in his study, his wife came in and said to him, "My dear, do you think we will know each other In heaven?" He turned to her and said, "My dear, do you think we will be bigger fools in heaven than we are here?" Again, I accept this doctrine of future recognition because the world's expectancy affirms it. In all lands and ages "this theprjets received. What form of religiotiTplanted it? No form of religion, for lv is received under all forms of religion. Then, I argue, a sentiment, a feeling, an anticipation, universally planted, must have been God-implanted, and if God-implanted, it is rightfully implanted. Socrates writes: "Who would not part with a great deal to purchase a meeting with Orpheus and Homer? If it be true that this is to be the consequence of death, I could even be able to die,of ten." ' • . * ' • • * • * There is to mother before the throne of God. You say her joy is full. Is it? You say there can be no augmentation of it. Cannot there be? Her son was a wanderer and a vagabond on the earth when that good mother died. He broke her old heart. She died leaving him in the wilderness of sin. She is before the throne of God now. Years pass, and that son repenjts of his crimes and gives his heart to God and becomes a useful Christian, and dies and enters the gates of heaven. You tell me that that mother's joy cannot be augmented. Let them confront each other, the eon and the mother. "Oh/ she.says to the angels of God, "rejoice with me! The dead is alive again, and the lost is found. Hallelujah! I never expected to see this lost one come"baclcr" The Bible says nations are to be born in a day. When China comes to God will it not know Dr. Abeel? When India,comes, will it not Know Dr. John Scudder? When the Indians come to\God, will they not know David Brainerd? * I see a soul entering heaven at last, with covered face at the idea that it has done so little for Christ, and feeling borne down with unworthlness, and it says to itself, "I have no right to be here." A voice froih a throae says, "Oh, you forget that Sunday school class you invited to Christ! I was one child pining away because of the death of its mother, getting weaker and weaker every day, was taken into the room where hung the picture of her mother. She seemed to enjoy looking at it, and then she was taken away, and after awhile died. In the last moment that wan and wasted little one lifted her hands, while her face lighted up with the glory of the next world, and cried out, "Mother!" Do you tell me she did not see her mother? She did. So. .in my first settlement at Belleville a plain man said to me, "What do you think I heard last night? I was in the room where one of my neighbors was. dying. He was a good man, and he said be heard the angels of God singing before the throne. I haven't much poetry about me, but I listened, and I heard them, too." Said I, "I have no doubt of it." Why, we are to be taken up to heaven at last by ministering spirits. Who are they to be? Souls that went up from Madras, or Antioch, or Jerusalem? Oh, no! our glorified kindred are going to troop around us. Heaven is not a stately, formal place, as I sometimes hear it described, a very frigidity of splendor, where people stand on cold formalities and go around about with heavy crowns of gold on their heads. No, that is not my idea of heaven. My idea of heaven is more like this: You are seated in the evening- tide by the fireplace, your whole family there or nearly all of them there. While you are seated talking and enjoying the evening hour, there is a knock at the door, and the door opens, and there, comes in a brother that has been long absent. He has been absent, for years you have not seen hlm^ and no sooner do you make up your mind that it is certainly he than you leap up, and the question is who shall give him the first embrace*. That Is my idea of heaven—a great home circle where they are waiting for us. Oh, will you not know your mother's voice there? She who always called you by your first name long after other* had given you the formal "Mister." You were never anything but James, or John, or George, or Thomas, or Mary, or Florence to her. Will you not know your child's voice? She of the bright eye and ruddy cheek, and the quiet step, who came in from play and flung herself into your lap, a very shower of mirth and beauty? Why, the picture is graven in your soul. It cannot wear out. If that little one should stand on the other side of some heavenly hill and- call to you, you would hear her voice above the burst of heaven's great orchestra. Know it! You could not help but know it. Now I bring you this glorious consolation of future recognition. If you could get this theory into your heart il would lift a greatPifiSny shadows that are stretching across it. When I was a lad I used to go^out to_the railroad track and put my ear down on the track, and I could hear the express train rumbling miles away, and coming on; and to-day, my friends, if we only had faith enough wo could put our ear down to the. grave of our dead, and listen and hear in the distance the rambling on of the chariots of resurrection victory. i. —»••-• O heaven! sweet heaven!

A tight fails from heaven on that mountain and lifts it into the glories of the eelestial. Christ's garments glow and is face shines like the sun. The door You forget that poor man to whom you gave a loaf of bread. I was that "man." And another says, "You forget that sjck one to whom you gave medicine for the body and the soul. I was that one." And then Christ, from a throne overtopping all the rest, will aay, "Inasmuch as ye did it to one of the least of these, you did it to me." And then the seraphs will take their harps from the side of the throne, and cry, "What song shall it be?" And Christ, bending over the harpers, shall say, "It shall be the Harvest Home!" One more reason why I am disposed to accept this doctrine of future recognition is that so many in their; last hour on earth have confirmed this theory. I speak not of persons who have been delirious in their last moment, and knew not what they were about, but of persons who died in calmness and placidity, and who were not naturally superstitious. Often the glories of heaven have struck the dying pfllow, and the departing man has said he saw and heard those who had gone away from him. How often it is in the dying moments parents, see their departed children and children see their departed parents. I came down to the banks of the^fahawk River.

Than I turned fdjih* a t f started hex* with a yell, as teMl -Might, for from almost ""beneath my feet there came a most awful snail. "I had lit down almost upon the back Of the lioness, yvko bad bean softening on the slab whirs .we. stood to'dr* ourr selves after bathing.

It was all done **>;en la'stnnt, as quick as thought.. W» -' ,-. i' • "She had been sleeping on the slab, and oh, horror! what was that sleeping beside her? It was the torn remnant of poor Jim-Jim, lying on a patch of blood-stained rock! CHAPTER III. "Poor Jim-Jim! We buried what was left of him, which was not very much, In an old bread-bag, and though whilst ne lived his virtues were not great, now that he was gone we coultf have wept over him. Iudeed, Harry did weep outright; while I registered a quiet little vow of my own account that I would let daylight into that lioness before I was forty-eight hours older, If by any means it could be done. "Well, we buried him, and there he lies where lions will not trouble him any more. So there is an end of the book of Jim-Jim. "The great question that now remained was,, how to circumvent his murderess. I knew that she would return as sooh as she was hungry again, but I did not know when she would be hungry. She had left so little of Jim-Jim behind her that I could scarcely expect to, see her the next night, unless she had cubs. Still, I felt that it would not be wise to miss the chance of her coming, so we set about to make preparations for her reception. The first thing we did was to strengthen the bush wall of the skerm by dragging a large quantity of the tops of thorn-trees together and laying one en the other in such a fashion that the thorns pointed outward. This, after our experience of the fate of Jim-Jim, seemed a very necessary precaution, since if where one sheep can jump another can follow, as the Kafirs say, how much more is It the case where an animal so active and so vigorous as the lion is concerned! And now came the further question, how were we to beguile the lioness to return? Lions are animals that have a strange knack of appearing when they are not -wanted and keeping studiously out of the way when their presence is rer quired. "Harry, who, as I have said, was an eminently practical boy, suggested to Pharaoh that he should go and sit outside the skerm in the moonlight as a sort of a bait, assuring him that he would have nothing to fear as we would certainly kill the lioness before aha killed him. Pharaoh, however, strangely enough, did not seem to take to this suggestion. Indeed, he walked away, much put out with Harry for having made it. "It gave me an idea, howeyer. " 'Well!' I said, 'there is that ox. He must die sooner or later, so we may as well utilize him.4 "Now, about thirty yards to the left •four skerm, if one stood facing down the hill toward the river, was the stump of a tree that had been destroyed by lightning many years before, standing equidistantly between, but a little in front of, two clumps of bush, which were severally some fifteen paces from i t ; • , "Here was the very place to tie the ox; and, accordingly a little before sunset the poor animal was led forth by Pharaoh and made fast there, little knowing, poor brute, for what purpose; and *we commenced our long vigil, this time without a fire, for our object was to attract the lioness and J not to scare her. "For hour after hour we waited, keeping ourselves awake by pinching each other—it is, by the way, remarkable what a difference in the force of pinches requisite to the.occasion extsts hi the Mind of ptncher and plnchee —tout no lioness came. The moon waxed an* the moon waned, and then t t last the moon went down, and darkswallowed up the world, but no S lion came to swallow us up. Wo waited till dawn, because we did Jiot dare to go to sleep, and then at last we took such a broken rest as we could get. "That morning we went out shooting, not because we wanted to, jtor we were too depressed and tired, but* because we had no more meat. For three hours or more we wandered about la the boiling sun, looking for something to kill, but with absolutely no results. For some unknown reason the game had «*rrown very scarce about .he spot, though when I was there two years before every sort of large game except rhinoceros and elephant was particularly abundant. The lions, of whom there were many, alone remained, and I fancy that it was the fact of the game they live on having temporarily migrated that made them so daring and >roclous. As a general rule, a lion is an amiable animal enough if he is left alone, but a hungry Hon Is almost as dangerous as a hungry man. One hears a great many, different opinions expressed EB to whether or no the Hon is rscnarkable for his courage, but the result of my experience is that very mu?h depends upon the state of his stomfcth. A hungry lion will not stick at a trifle, whereas a full one will flee at a very small rebuke. "Well, we hunted all about, and nothing could we see, not even a duck or a bush buck; and at last thoroughly tired and out of temper we started on our way back to camp, passing over the brow of a steeplsh hill to do so. Just as we got over the ridge I froze up like a pointer dog, for there about six hundred yards to my left, his beautiful tfurved horns outlined against the soft blue sky, I saw a noble koodoo bull (Strepsiceros kuduj. Even at that distance, for as you know, my eyes are very keen,11 could distinctly see the white stripes upon its sides when the light fell upon it, and its large and pointed ears twitch as the flies worried it. "So far so good; but how were we to get at it? It was ridiculous to risk a shot at that great distance, and yet both the ground and the wind lay very ill for sUlking. It seemed to me that the only chance would be to make a detour of at least a mile or more, and come up on the other Bide of the koodoo. I called Harry to my side and explained to him what I thought would be the best course, when suddenly, without any delay, the koodoo saved us any further trouble by suddenly starting off down the hill like a leaping rocket. Perhaps a hyena or a leopard—a tiger as we call it there— bad suddenly appeared; At any rate, off it went, running Blightly toward us, and I never saw a buck go raster. As for Harry, he stood watching the beautiful animal's course. Presently it vanished behind a patch of bush, to emerge a few seconds later about five hundred paces from us, on a stretch of dbmparatively level ground that was strewn with bowlders. On it went, taking the bowldersyin* its path in a succession of great bounds that were beautiful to behold. As it did so, I happened to look round at Harry, and perceived to my astonishment that he had got his rifle to his shoulder. " 'You foolish boy!' I ejaculated, 'surely you are not going to'—and Just at that moment the rifle went off. "And then I think I saw what was in its way one of the most wonderful things I ever remember in my hunting experiece. The koodoo wae at that moment In the air, clearing a pile of "sYoneeI wlttrttff~heHd7 All la an instant the legs stretched ttomselves out in.a spasmodic fashion, and it lit on them and they doubled up beneath it. Down went the noble buck, down on its forelegs tucked up underneath it, standing on its horns, its ^lnd-legs high in the air, and then over if, went and lay still. " 'Great heavens!' I said, 'Why, you've hit him! He's dead.' . "As for Harry, he said nothing, but merely looked scared, as well he might. A man, let alone a boy, might have fired a thousand such shots without ever touching the object; which, mind you, was springing and bounding over rocks quite five hundred yards away; and here this lad—taking a snap shot, and merely allowing for elevation by Instinct, for he did not put up his sights—had knocked the bull over as dead as a door-nail. Well, I made no further remark, the occasion was too solemn for talking, but merely led the way to where the koodoo lay. There he was, beautiful and quite still; and there, high up, about half way down his neck, was a neat round hole. The bullet had severed the spinal marrow, passing right through the vertebrae a-nd away on the other side. "It was already evening when, Having cut as much of the best meat as we could carry from the "bull, and tied a red handkerchief and some tufts of, grass to his spiral horns, which, by the way, must have been nearly five feet in length, In the hope of keeping the jackals and aasvogelB (vultures) from him, we finally got back to camp, to find Pharaoh, who was getting rather anxious at our absence, ready to greet us with the pleasing intelligence that another ox was sick. But even this dreadful bit of intelligence could not dash Harry's spirits; the fact of the matter being that, incredible as it may appearTT do verily believe thttrinrhlaheart of hearts he set down the death of that koodoo to the credit of his own skill., Now, though the lad was a tidy shot enough, this of course was ridiculous, and I told him so very plainly. "By the time that we had finished our supper of koodoo steaks (which would have been better if the koodoo had been a little younger), it was time to get ready for Jim-Jim's murderess again. All the aft*>n^ov IVnr'noh' 'old us **>e eaforttraate OK had been walking round and round in a circle as cattle In the last stage of red-water generally do. Now it had corns to a standstill, and was swaying to and fro with his head hanging down. So we tied him up to tbe stump of the tree as on the previous night, knowing that if the lioness did not kill him he ^vould be dead by morning. Indeed I was afraid that he would be of but little use as a bait, for a lion is a sportsman-like animal, and unless he Is very hungry generally prefers to kill his own dinner, though when once killed he will come back to it again and again. "Then we repeated our experience of the previous night, sitting there hour after hour, till at last Harry went fast asleep, and even I, though I am accustomed to this sort of thing, could scarcely keep my eyes open. Indeed I waa just dropping off, when suddenly Pharaoh gave me a shove. " 'Listen!' he whispered. "I was all awake in a second, and listening with all my ears. From the clump of brush to the right of < the lightning-shattered stump to which the ox was tied came a faint crackling noise. Presently it was repeated. Something was moving there, faintly and quietly enough, but still moving perceptibly, for in the intense stillness of the night any sound seemed loud. "I woke up JJarry, Who instantly said, 'Where is she? where is she?' and began to point his rifle about in a fashion that was more dangerous to us and the oxen than to any possible lioness. " 'Hush up!' I whispered, savagely; and as I did so, with a low and hideous growl a flash of yellow light sped out of the clump of bush, past the ox, and Into the corresponding clump upon the other side. The poor sick brute gave a sort of groan, and staggered round and then began to tremble; I could see it do so clearly in the moonlight, and I felt like a brute for having exposed the unfortunate animal to such terror as he must undoubtedly be undergoing. The lioness, for it was she, passed so quickly that we could not even distinguish her movements, much less shoot. Indeed at night it is absolutely useless to attempt to shoot unless the object is very close and standing perfectly still, and then the light is so deceptive and it is so difficult to see the foresight that the best shot will miss more often than he hits. TO BR cosTisaau.i W H I T E H O U S E E T I Q U E T T E . The Unwritten Law* Which Govern t h e - Frealdent's Social Position. When the President and his wife drive out the President sits on the right hand and his wife on the left, says the Illustrated American. If there are others In the carriage, whether ladies or gentlemen, they must sit with their backs to the horses. When Mrs. Cleveland was first married she tried the experiment of placing her mother opposite the president and herself in the esidentlal landau, but the people laughed at it so immoderately and professed to think Mrs. Folsom (as she Vas then) to be the maid, that it was speedily dropped. When the President's wife drives alone she sits in the right-hand corner—the place of honor. The ladyoTthre white house cannot set .foot within those splendid houses in Washington whose flagstaffs mark the foreign embassy or legation. She eould not go without the President, and as an embassy or legation is technically a part of the country It represents the President could not go—so that she never sees the inside of a diplomatic house as long as she presides at the executive mansion. The President dines only at cabinet houses and his wife cannot dine anywhere witfioW him. President Arthur dined with judges of the Supreme court and with senators; but as he had nowife the-whole system was very much simplified for him. The President's wife may, if she chooses,- go to luncheons where there are no gentlemen, or to teas, both being regarded as strictly informal; hut the danger of giving offense by accepting one invitation and declining another is so great that it is ""seldom or never risked.

Theie is a good prospect for a new highway soon to be builtfrom Anderson in a general southernly direction about one-half mile east of the Unadilla and Putnam line, terminating ou the Unadilla and Chelsea road a short distance west of North Lake. Such a road, while not difficult to build and running on comparatively level ground, would be one of the most picturesque thoroughfares in the southern part of the state, touching the shores of four good sized and beautiful lakes and running in plain view of five more, all in about two miles' travel. Such a road would open several farms to the highway and bring a large amount, of trade to Anderson' that now goes to Chelsea. Livingston county is largely interested in Nsuch a project.

Your attention is cordially invited to the following features: The C O R S E T that DOES NOT BREAK A T T H E . WAIST LINE. The " C R E S C O " is an entirely new departure-in corset designing and mechanical construction. 1 T CANNOT B R E A K AT T H E W A I S T L I N t i . All other makes of Corsets are rigid from top to bottom and the movements of the wearers consequently are more or less restrained. This annoying defect the " C R E S C O " obviates, the front portion being in T w o C o n n e c t i n g P i e c e s O v e r l a p p - i n g A t T h e W a i s t . The part covering the bust is made to accurately '-fit that portion of the person, and that covering the lower part is separately and with nicety adjusted to_the abdomen, without interfering with the adjust m ent of the uprjej^portion. This ingenious and thoroughly practical combination is not only easier and more convenient than the ordinary garment, but prevents the disfi guring abdominal protrusion at the bottom and showing through back of the dress, so obsereable in other CORSETS. The support*given by t h e u C R E S C O " its' supple and elegant adaption to the figure a n d t h e delightful freedom with .which the wearer can bend forward, backward or sideways, places it materially in advance of what has heretofore been considered t h e standard in corset manufacture. * i*fW£ttrmtmAmrs(m^~G7n:BRAiTHf 138-141-143-145 West Main s t , J A C K S O N , MICH.

Nature has provided a certain amount of work for every organ of the human body; overtax them and disease eventually follows. There is not one portion of our organism that is so overworked as the kidneys; on them is placed the important function of filtering the blood of the impurities which naturully form in the regular action of life and digestion. The kidueys are consequently termed the sew erage of the system; clog up this sewer, and the blood becomes tainted with poison ous uric acid, wiy^U brings on diseasr in many forms. Tnfc back Is the first to show this stoppage. From there come;- the warning note; it should be heeded, and tho kidneys receive prompt attention. Doan's Kidney Pills will right the action of the kidneys quickly, relievo tho back of pubis and aches, and cure all troubles of kidneys and bladder, llead the following: Mr, Win. Nelson ia a well-known business man of Kalamazoo, he resides at 822 Portage Street, and his business is that of a grain buyer. He says: " F o r five years I have suffered from an inability to urinate, which resulted from what was said to be a stoppage of the blad der. During these years I have taken min cral and electric baths and used other means in expectancy of getting better, but they all proved unavailing. Some months ago 1 began using Doan's Kidney Pills, which 1 had heard highly recommended, and I cac now say that the flattering reports-wen not greater than they deserved. I gol better right along, and I am free from any trouble now. I feel better than I have done for three years past. If'Doan's Kidney Pills were well known all over they would do an immense amount of good." Sold by all dealers—price, 50 cents. Mailed by Foster-Sinburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y., sole agents for the U. S.

I**1* •*•* »PP«*« *«' <""••> r I'lt'C-t-UV A-R.,,-back ' in the centuries the river Witham. w h i c h flows through the lowlands of Eastern England, was known as the Linwii. The town which the Romans built on the bank of ike stream received ,the ,,:*;..£> of Dinaum. When/vhe Roman* made themselves masW.; of England they built a castle on the top of a hill that overlooks the town and changed the name to Lincoln, in the course of years it became the name of a family, possibly, there were several families bearing the name in Norfolk and Lincoln counties. We know that one such family had jts^home in Hingham, and that Samuel Lincoln was an infant on that when the Pilgrims, in -December, 1620, established a government of the people in America. We also know that there was an older brother, Thomas; but it is not certain that we shall ever learn irmfh ahnnt their parents. It seems When the apprentice became of age he joined his brother-Thomas in Hingham. He had learned a trade; it is n o t - c e r t a i n that he followed it, but probably he became a farmer. A maiden named Martha became his wife; her parental nam<? is not known. Their children were Samuel. Daniel, Mordecai, Mary, Martha, Sarah and Rebecca. Startling news came that the Indians were murdering the settlers of Swanzey. It was the beginning of the war with the Poquds, under /their chief, Philip, Samuel, the oldest son, seized his father'-; ^un and powder horn and became a soldier. A year passed, in which more than six hundred of the settlers were killed; but the chief was dead, and hi^ head was hanging on a gibbet in'Plymouth. The captured Indians were sold as slaves to the Spaniards. <f Mordecai Lincoln, the while, was blowing the bellows and making the anvil ring in a blacksmith's shop. When he became of age he set up his own forge in Hull. Perhaps Sarah Jones may have influenced him in set- :1;;<3 there, for she soon became his The year 1686 was a memorable one to 1 he blacksmith, tor a son was born to him -Mordecai, junior. Just before his birth the frigate Rose sailed into Boston harbor, bringing Sir Edmund Apdros. who had been appointed governor of Massachusetts, Plymouth, Rhode Island and Connecticut. He had brought over two companies of troops to aid him in upsetting the government of the people. It seems sea. The brook at the falls was the boundary between the colonies of Plymouth and Massachusetts. It was of great service for a large section of the country in both colonies. Mordecai Lincoln helped build the Hingham meeting-housp The elders decided just what seats people should occupy, and they assigned an honorable w a t to him in the front gallery. - He wanted s i s grandchildren to be well educated, and in his will bequeathed £10 to aid them in Harvard College. We do not know in what year the blacksmith's eldest son, Mordecai, junior, married, neither is the maiden name of his wife to be found on any record. We only know that after the birth of a son the husband became a widower. Although Massachusetts was sparsely settled, people were emigrating from the province. Mordecai Line .In, with his son John, made his way to Freehold, Monmouth CounTJT-N. J. The 1 citizens of that county regarded him as worthy of their esteem. Hannah Salter, daughter of Richard and Sarah Bowne Salter, gave him her hand in marriage. Mr. Salter was a lawyer, During a native theatrical performeni'e at K w a n g Fou, China, the building c a u g h t fire and in t h e panic w h i c h resulted 300 persons w e r e trampled to death.

We may think of the brothers as ptuying in the streets, or going in to the green fields and gathering daisies, listening to the larks and nightingales. They could look across the meadows and see the tall spire of Norwich Cathedral, and in the hush and stillness hear Xhe great bell sending forth its music. Quite likelv they heard their parents say that King James had died, and that his son, Charles I., was king. Tht: the talk was about troublesome times, i'he king maintained that he was ordained by God to rule the Nation and that it was the duty of the people to obey. The bishoo preached that the king could do no wrong. Charles wanted money and levied taxes without cons u l t i n g p a r H a m e a t . The Puritans who would not pay, together with those who would not a?cept the ritual prepared by the bishop, were arrested so many times that the jail and the Guildhall in Norwich were filled. When the officers undertook to collect the tax in Lincoln the people pelted them with stones. _ The Puritans all over England were resisting -the demands of the king. Possibly it was the desire of Charles to get rid of them that led him to grant a charter for a government of their own in America. The persecution of the bishopvind the arbitrary acts of the king made life so bitter that thousands of Puritans were ready to leave- England forever. Many of the people of Norfolk and Lincoln counties had sailed for Massachusetts; qthers were ready to join them. The ships, Rose and the John, and Dorothy, were at Garmouth, preparing to sail. Francis Lawes resolvthat Mordecai Lincoln could look from iris shop door and see^the frigate running out its guns and firing a salute, and the cannon of the castle replying. James II. had determined to overthrow the Puritan commonwealth. The people were no longer to assemble in town meeting or make their own laws. We may be sure that the farmers who came to have their horses shod or their ploughshares sharpened, or fishermen who wanted work cone, expressed their minds freely upon public affairs, and that the blacksmith had something to say while1 making the anvil ring by his sturdy blows. Three years passed, scome"an"emigrant, and I t s e e m s probable thar* Samuel Lincoln was ready to Join "his- brother, who had settled in H i n g h a m , near Boston. We see them traveling across the meadows and lowlands, with others, to Yarmouth town. Together the ships sail across the Atlantic, to drop their anchors in Salem Harbor. It is probable that Samuel Lincoln, for lack of woo!, did not do much weaving in the town of Ipswich, where his master settled.

He remembered Hannah Salter Lincoln in-his will, giving her £250. Her husband was so greatly esteemed that in title-deeds he was styled "gentleman." He was thrifty, and purchased several hundred acres of land. He wanted more, and visited the valley of the Schuylkill, in Pennsylvania to see for himself whether or not the lands there were as fertile and beautiful as reported. He was so well pleased that lie resolved to become a citizen of Pennsylvania, and remove to Amity township. It seems conclusive that John did not go with his father, bui remained in Freehold, and married there. It was on the Schuylkill that the Lincolns, Hanks and Boone families became associated. When Mordecai Lincoln died he left George Boone, father of the more celebrated Daniel Boone, to look after his will. The lands were equally divided between the sons, -Mordecai, Jr., Thomas, John and Abraham. John and Thomas Lincoln later went to Virginia. The Boones moved to Wilkesborough, N. C. The Hanks family aleo moved farther west. This was about 1748. France had just driven England out of Canada and the American colonies were beginning to feel unrest. Daniel Boone explored Kentucky, and thither followed the Lincolns and Hankses. Abraham, son of Mordecai Lincoln, married Mary Shipley before pushing into the wilderness of the territory. They had three children, Mortal,- Thomas aawl Joeiah. Thomas Lincoln grew up and married Nancy! Hanks. They settled in a log ^sabin at Eli»abethtown. Here Sarah Lincoln was born to them.

IH r of man he was, hays an editorial printed just after his reported death. The outlines of his biography us a factor in the cause ot C u b a Libre are known. But beyond this nothing has j yoL been given to the American public ! revealing the private life of the Cuban j general who held the flower of the | Spanish army at bay with such unex- : petted success for so long a time. i There are not a half-dozen men in j America who have known Maceo personally. Two of these, envied of Cu> J bans, are Manuel M. Coronado, the edj iter of the Havana paper La Dlscus- ' sion, who was forced to flee from Cuba J for his life on account of his paper's I sympathy with the revolutionary cause, j and Antonio Bolet, who served on Genr eral Jose Lacret's staff, and daily went to Maceo's headquarters for orders. Bolet is a very young man. He was captured by the Spaniards, but as his father is a friend of the Spanish authorities in Havana, young Antonio suffered only deportation to Spain. He fled from that country at the first opportunity, coming to New York, and now it is his intention to"take tb,e next filibustering boat to Cuba. Mr. Coronado saw Maceo last January on one of the days when the latter was in consultation with General/Gomez 1Q the Havana Province about future campaigns. This was before Maceo •n'lies to ao the same in plant sight. The sergeant consented to this, and ipon the terms being carried out pxou- . ed freedom to his escort and goed reatrnent to Maceo. The la tcr a«ke<l jr a few minutee to consider the prop- •sition, and marched back with bis «*- "f>rt into tV» h o v r , le;n-ing the rifle.. DutBide. The sergeant waited until, bfc •uniing iiiiDi.n^nt. ha agaii: iViuandeti surrender, to ni**r with the iiformatiot ihat the owns'* of the plantation had es- ,aped and lie liireat that within thirty tuinutes Maceo'a men would be there to turn the tables. The capture of Maceo meant promotion and a large reward, and the sergeant decided to attack t i e three men, who were araed at most * n h revolvers and machetes. The door of the house had been invitingly left open, and into this the Spaniards mated, to be met .near the threshold with a volley of revolver bullets which laid four of them prostrate. Five, however, gained entrance, to be attacked with the terrible machete, and of this number one recovered from his wounds to tell of his experience. Macto escaped with a bullet in his shouldrr; one of his escort was killed on the spot and the other died soon after from his wounds.

Mr. Coronado had known Maceo before the meeting; had entertained him at his house, ano" had learned to have a great respect fa* his personality. It was about five years ago, when Maceo was visiting prominent Cubans in Havana, that Mr. Coronado saw him almoet daily. He says that M«iC\eo was a natural politician ih that he had the genius of divining popular opinion and taking the leadership of popular movements. He was in Havana at that time sounding men and scheming for the present revolution. He was always of the sunniest disposition, says Mr. Coronado, closely attaching all the people to him; a man of the strictest moral integrity; he .never drank wine, he never smoked, and that In a land where tobacco is as common played cards.

The only locality where Weyler teems to have put down the rebellion is in his own mind.

People who are "behind the times generally consider that the world is rushing madly to perdition. We take greater pains to persuade others that we are happy than in endeavoring to be so ourselves. . COUNTRY farmer wrote this t e x t - Amos of Tekoa. He plowed the earth ^ii and threshed the cSa grain by a new threshing machine Just invented, as formerly the cattle trod out the grain. He gathered the fruit of the syca- After all is said, a man never really | m o re tree, and scarified it with an appreciates how many friends he ihas until it becomes necessary to call the r o l l -^=. The chances are that if you look behind you in life, you will generally find eomebody trying to make it unpleasant for you. At EaRt Liverpool, Ohio, Samnel Barlow laughed at a farce comedy until he went crazy A protest should be entered against the production of farce comedies which are too darned funny for a man to witness and preserve hi* compos mentis. It is possible, however, judging from some of the allefted side-splitters with which we aire afflicted periodically, that Mr. Barlow's mental disorder was caused by acute melancholia. Jesse Pomeroy, who years ago was given a life sentence in the Charlestown state prison for the murder of two children, came very near escaping from his quarters last Wednesday. With no tools except a piece of wire and a few nails, he succeeded in boring through the wall/of his cell until only a few bricks lay between him and liberty. W^en discovered in his attempt to escape, he sho-ived no emotion whatever. Pomeroy was enly 14 years old when he committed the crime of murder, and he was then regarded as the worst specimen of youthful depravity ever known. The United States is pushing to the front in naval matters. According to the repqrt of the secretary of war. we have built or building, 11 battle-ships, 7 coast-defense ships, 18 cruisers, 18 lookout ships and gunboats, 18 torpedo boats and one torpedo destroyer. June 30, 1893, there were serving in the navy 6,459 enlisted men and 1,215 apprentices; June 30, 1894, 6,950 men and 1,144 apprentices; June 30, 1895, 7,499 men and 1,238 apprentices, and Jane attd-l,3?8 arp^-He-had-B-voztte naTure, and he read prentices. Of the enlisted men in 1893 1,040 were serving under continuousservice certificates; in 1894, 1*824; in 1895, 2,270, and in 1896, 2,409/ It is refreshing to turn to one international marriage where the bridegroom was not a fortune hunter. It la that of the daughter of Millionaire Claus Spreckles t*> Mr. Watson, a San Francisco broker, of- Englisfc birth. But then this was not a mateh arranged by the bride's parents. They objected strenuously and the couple eloped. Papa Spreckles had settles a million or two on his daughter. She was a high-spirited girl and did not want to ^e beholden to her papa for her fortune since She had married without his consent. Her husband told her he married her for herself and not for her millions, and Mrs. Watson promptly deeded back to her father the property he had given her to the tune of a couple of millions. But then it is not likely they will ever know the pangs j j ^ t the stars have proportionate effect? And there are some things which make me think that it may not have of want. fiven Ceylon has an agricultural college, and as a result vine-growing has been Introduced into that isle. The Indian Agriculturist says: Experiments in viticulture in Ceylon have been turning out very satisfactorily, and it is within the range of possibility that grape-growing and wine-making may be established as a supplementary industry t o tea-planting in that fa*? . vored isle. About a year ago a vinery was erected in the School of Agriculture premises, Colombo, and placed under the care of Slgor Zanetti, Only a few months elapsed from the planting of the vines to their showing signs of bearing, and an excellent yield of grapes resulted. There has been, however, a nttJe hitch between the 81gnor and the government about allowing additional expenditure, and for the time being the experiment appear* to be in danger ^j^a^BmuSd^tJS!LS^U^S0^^**• "TtTi verr unlikely that the government will allow the experiments to fall through, big with promise as they undoubtedly are, and we may expect to hear by later mail of an adjustment of differences and of further experiment. Already a Sinhalese capitalist, who has watched the partial development and 'success of the agricultural school vineyard, and is aaiuerd of the ultimate success of viticulture in the Island, has started a vineyard on his:'*1 ** m a k e t h t h e Seven Stars %ad own account iron comb just before it was getting ripe, as it was necessary and customary In that way to take from it the bitterness. He was the son of a poor shopherd, and stuttered; but before the stammering rustic the Philistines, and Syrians, and Phoenicians, and Moabites, and Ammonites, and Wdoraites, And Israelites trembled. > Moses was a law-giver, Daniel was a prince, Isaial1 a courtier, and David a king; but Amos, the author of my text, was a peasant, and, as might be supposed, nearly all his parallelisms are pastoral, his prophecy full of the odor of new mown hay, and the rattle of locusts, and the rumble of carts with sheaves, and the roar of wild beasts devouring the flock while the shepherd came out-in their defense. He watched the herds by day, and by night inhabited a booth made out of bushes so that through these branches he could see the stars all .njght long, and was mere familiar with them than we who have tight roofs to our houses, and hardly ever see the stars except among the tall brick chimneys of the great towns.^ But at seasons of the year when the herds were in special danger, he would stay out in the open field all through, the darkness, his only shelter the curtain of the night-heaven, with the stellar embroideries and silvered tassels of lunar light." What a life of solitude; all alone with his herds! Poor Amos! And at twelve o'clock at night, hark to the wolf's bark, and rfie lion's rpar, and the bear's growl, and the owl's te-whit te-who, and the serpent's hiss, as he unwittingly steps too near while moving through the thickets! So Amos, like other herdsmen, got the habit of studying the map of the heavens, because it was so much of the time spread out before him. He noticed pome stars advancing^ and others receding. He associated their dawn and s e t t i n g with < w t i i l n Rftia^na o f t.hft ypar^ night by night, and month by month, and year by year, the poem of the constellations, divinely rhythmic. But two rosettes of stars especially attracted his attention while seated on the ground, or lying on his back under the open scrol of the midnight heavens— the Pleiades, or Seven Stars, and Orion. The former group this rustic prophet associated with the spring, as it rises about the first of May. The latter he associated with the water, as it comes to the meridian in January. The Pleiades, or Seven Stars, connected with all sweetness and joy; Orion, the herald of the tempest. The ancients were the more apt to study the physiognomy and juxtaposition of the heavenly bodies, because they thought they had a special influence upon the earth; and perhaps they were right If the moon every few hours lifts and lets down the tides of the Atlantic ocean, and the electric storms in the sun, by all scientific admission, affected the earth, why been all superstitution which connected the movements and appearance of the heavenly bodies with great moral events on earth. Did not a meteor run on evangelistic errand on the first Christmas night, and designate the rough cradle of our Lord? Did not the stars in their course fight against Sisera? Was it merely coincidental that before the destruction of Jerusalem the moon was hidden for twelve consecutive nights? Did it merely happen so that a new star appeared in constellation Casseopeia, and then disappear just before Charles IX. of France, who was responsible for St. Bartholomew massacre, died? Was it without significance that In the days of the Soman Emperor Justinian war and famine were preceded by the dimness of the sun, which for nearly a year gave no more light Co clouds to obscure it*~ Astrology, after all, may have been omething more than a brilliant heathenism. No wonder that Amos of the text, having heard these two anthems of the stars, put down the stout rough jstaff of the herdsman and took into his brown hand and cut and knotted fingers the pen of the prophet, and advised the recreant people of his time te return to God, saying: "Seek him Or Inn." This command, which gave 785 years B. C is Just as appropriate tor us 1897 A. D. In the first place, Amos saw, as we must see, that the Ood who made the Pleiades and Orion must be the Ood of order. It was not so much a star here *>nd a star there that impressed the inspired herdsman, but seven in one group, and seven in the other group. He saw that night after night and seaeon after season and decade after decade they had kept step of light, each one In its own place, a sisterhood never clashing and never contesting precedence. From the time Hesiod called the Pleiades the "seven daughters of Atlas" and Virgil wrote in his Aenoid of "Stormy Orion" until now. they have observed the order established for their coming and going; order written hot in manuscript that may be pigeonholed, but with, the hand of the Almighty on the dome of the sky, so that alienations may read it. Order. Persfsteiit order. Sublime order. Omnipotent order. What a sedative to you and to me, to whom communities and nations sometimes seem going pell-mell, and the world ruled by some fiend at haphazard, and in all directions maladministration! The God who keeps seven worlds in right circuit for six thousand years can certainly keep all the affairs of individuals and nations and continents in adjustment. We had not better fret much, for the peasant's argument of the text was right If God can take-care of tho seven worlds of the Pleiades and the four chief worlds of Orion, he can probably take care of the one world we inhabit. So 1 feel very much as my father felt">>ne'Vday when we were going to the country mill to get a grist ground, and 1. a boy of seven years, sat in the back part of the wagon, and our yoke of oxen ran away with us and along a labyrinthine road through the woods, so that I thought every moment we would be dashed to pieces, and I made a terrible outcry of fright, and my father turned to me with a face perfectly calm, and said: "De Witt, what are you crying about? I g u t ^ we can ride as fast as the oxen can run." And, my hearers, why should we be affrighted and lose our equilibrium in the swift movements of worldly events, especially when we are assured that it is not a yoke of unbroken steers that are drawing us on, but that order ancUwise government are in the yoke? * * * Again, Amos saw, as we must see, that the God who made these two archipelagoes of stars must be an unchanging God. There had been no change in the stellar appearance in this herdsman's life-time, and his father, a shepherd, reported to him that there had been no change in his lifetime. And these two clusters hang over the celestial arbor now just as they were the n>«t nirTht—M*^ "Look there," Bays Joshua, "at the sun standing still above Gibson!" "Look there," says Moees, "at the sparkling firmament!" "Look there," says Amos, the herdsman, "at the Seven Stars and Orion!" Do not let us be so sad about those who shove off from this world under ChriBtly pilotage. Do not let us be so agitated about our own going off this little b;<i£c or sloop or canalboat of a world to K>jt on some "Great Eastern" of tin- heavens. Do not let us permit: :v wanting to stay in this b:ivn. thla shed, this outhouse of a world, when all the king's palaces already occupied by many of our best friends are swinging wide open their gates to let us In. When I read, "In my father's house are many mansions," I do not know but that each world is a room, and as many rooms as there are worlds, stellar hallways, stellar windows, stellar domes. How our departed friends must pity us shut up in these cramped apartments, tired if we walV^flfteen miles, when they some morning, by one stroke of wing, can make c ire if It of the whole stellar system and be back in tlmefcr m: tin: !

A mansion with as many rooms as worlds, and all their • windows illuminated for festivity. i Oh, how this widens and lifts and : stimulates our expectation! How little It makes the present, and how stupen- ; dous it makes the future! How it con- 1 soles us about our pious dead, that instead of being boxed up and under ; the ground have the range of as many rooms as there are worlds, and wel- ; come everywhere, for it is the Father's house, In which there are many man- ; sions! Oh, Lord God of the Seven j Stars and Orion, how can I endure the > transport, the ecstasy, of such a vision! j I must obey my text and seek him. I | will seek him. I seek him now, for I i call to mind that it is not the material j universe that is most valuable, but the i spiritual, and eac^h of us has a soul i worth more than all the worlds which the inspired herdsman saw from his booth on the hills of Tekoa.

As I stood outside, looking at the double range of flying buttresses and the forest of pinnacles, higher and higher and higherr until I almost reeled from dizziness, I exclaimed: "Great doxology in stone! Frozen prayer of many nations!" But while standing there I saw a poor man enter and put down his pack and kneel beside his burden on the hard floor of that cathedral. And tears of deep emotion came into my eyes as I said to myself, "There is a soul worth more than all the material surroundings. That man will live after the last pinnacle has fallen, and not one stone of all that cathedral glory shall remain uncrumbled. He is now a Lazarus in rags and poverty and weariness, but immortal, and a son of the Lord God ^Almighty;—and the—prayer ho now offers, though amid many superstitions, I believe God will hear; and among the Apostles whose sculptured forms stand in the surrounding niches he will at last be lifted, and into the presence of that Christ whose sufferings are represented by the crucifix before which he bows; and be raised in due time out of all his poverties into the glorious home- built for him and built for us by 'Him who maketh the Seven Stars and Orion.'"

" 'She will be back again presently,' X said; 'look out, but for heaven's sake don't fire unless I tell you t o / "Hardly were the words out of my mouth when back she came, and again passed the ox without striking him. " 'What on earth is she doing?' whispered Harry. " Playing with it as a cat does a mouse, I suppose. She will kill it presently.' "As I spoke, the lioness once more flashed out of the bush, and this time sprung right over the doomed ox. It was an exciting sight to see her clear him In the bright moonlight, as though It were a -trick she had been taught. " 'I believe that she has escaped from a jcircus,' whispered Harry; 'It's Jolly to see her Jump.' "I said nothing, but I thought to myself that if it was, Master Harry did not appreciate the performance, and 8mall blame to him. At any rate, his teeth were chattering a bit. "Then came a longish pause and I began to think that she must have gone away, when suddenly she appeared again, and ?Bi*h-oae— mighty bound landed rlgtft on to the ox, and struck it a frightful blow with her paw. "Down it went, and lay on the ground. She put down her wickedlooking head, with a fierce growl of contentment. When she lifted her muzzle again and stood facing us obliquely, I whispered, 'Now's our time, €re when I do.' "I got on her as well as I could, but Harry, instead of waiting for me as I told him, fired, before I did, and that of course hurried me. When the smoke cleared, however, I was delighted to see that the lioness was rolling about on the ground behind the body of the ox, i which covered her in such a fashion,] however, that we could not shoot again £o make an end-of her. " 'She's done for! she's dead!' yelled Pharaoh, in exultation; and at that very moment the lioness, with a sort of convulsive rush, half rolled, half sprung, into the patch of thick bush to the right, I fired after her as she went, but so far as I could see without result; indeed the probability is that I missed her clean. At any rate she got to the bush in safety, and once there, began to make such a diabolical noise as I never heard before. She would whine and shriek, then burst out into perfect volleys of j^aj^n^_Uial_8iLQok. ^th^^wfioTe^ace.^,—— 4 " 'Well/ I said, 'we must just let her roar; to go into that bush after hermit night would be madness.' "At that moment, to my astonishment and alarm, there came an answering roar from the direction of the river, and then another from behind the swell of bush. Evidently there were more lions about. The wounded lioness redoubled her efforts, with the object, I suppose, of summoning the others to her assistance. At any rate they came, and quickly too, for within J five minutes, peeping through the bushes of our skerm fence, we saw a magnificent lion bounding' along toward- us, through the tail tamboulln grass, that in the moonlight, was now very like ripening corn. On he came in great leaps, and a glorious sight it was to see him. When within fifty yards or so, he stood still in an open space and roared, and the lioness roared to, and then there came a third roar, and another great black-maned lion stalked majestically up, and Joined number two, and really I began to realize what Jim-Jim must have undergone. " 'Now, Harry,' I whispered, 'whatever you do, donJt ffrerit's too risky. If they let us be, let them be.' "Well, the pair of them marched off to the bush, Where the wounded lioness was now roaring doubie tides, and the whole three of them began to snarl and grumble away together there. Presently, however, the lioness ceased roaring, and the two lions came out again, the black-maned one first—to prospect, J suppose—and walked to where the carcass of the ox lay, and sniffed at i t " 'Oh, what a shot!' whispered Harry, who was trembling with excitement. ' " Y e s / I said; 'but don't fire; they might all of them come for us.' "Harry said nothing, but whether it was from the natural willfulness of yooth, or because he was thrown off his balance by excitement, or from sheer recklessness. I am sure I can not tell pain, sprung Hrcht at the throat of his cbmpanlon, to whom he evidently attributed his misfortune. It was a curious sight to see the evident astonishment of the other lioii_ut this most unprovoked assault. Over he rolled with . an angry roar, and on to him sprang 1 the black-maned demon, and commenced to worry him. This finally awoke the yellow-maned lion to a sense of the situation, and I am bound to sky that he rose to the occasion in a most effective manner. Somehow or other he got to his feet, and, roaring and smarting frightfully, closed with his mighty foe. And then ensued a scene that absolutely balfles description. You know what a shocking thjng it is to see twq large dogs fighting with abandonment. Well, a whole hundred of dogs could not have looked half so terrible as those two great brutes as they rolled and roared and rent in their rage. It was an awful and a wonderful thing to see the great cats tearing at each other with all the fierce energy of their savage strength, and making the night hideous with their heart-shaking noise. And the flght was a grand one, too. For some minutes it was impossible to say which was getting the best of it, but at last I saw that the black-maned lion, though he was slightly the bigger, was falling. I am Inclined to think that the wound in his flank crippled him. Anyway he began to get the worst of it, which served him right, as he was the aggressor. Still I (Tould not help feeling ^sorry for him, for he had fought a gallant fight when his antagonist finally got him by the throat, arid, struggle and flght as he would, began to shake the life out of him. Over and over they rolled together, an awe-inspiring spectacle, but the yellow boy would not loose his hold, and at length poor black-mane grew faint, his breath came in great snores and seemed to rattle in his nostrils, then he opened his huge mouth, gave the ghost of a roar, quivered, and was dead. "When he was quite sure that the victory was his own, the yellow-maned lion loosened hiB grip and sniffed at his fallen foe. Then he licked the dead lion's eye, and next, with his forefeet resting on the carcass, sent up his own chant of victory, that went rolling and pealing down the dark ways of the night in all the gathered majesty of sound. And at this point I interfered. Taking a careful sight at the center of his body, in order to give the largest possible margin for error, I fired, and sent a .570 express bullet right through him, and down he droppp'l dead upon his mighty foe. "At that, fairly satisfied with cur performances, we slept peacefully till dawn, leaving Pharaoh to keep watch in case any more lions should take it There U more catarrh In this section of the one might judge from her worn teeth, country than allother diseases put tojrether, and n<Jt very large, but thickly made, a n d u n -m toe4ast few years was supposed to and must have possessed extraordinary be incurable. ^"or art-eat many years doc- vitality to have„ lUi„v„eAd s„o„ l, ong, s„hv~o*t a-»s tors pronouncefl it a focal disea»e an<i preshe was; for, In addition to her broken shoulder, my express bullet had blown a great hole in her that one might have put one's fist into.

"And how did you get back to Pilgrims* Rest?" I asked hunter Quatermain when he had finished his yarn. "Ah, we had a nice job with that," he answered. "The second ox died and so did another, and we had to get on as best we could with the three remaining ones harnessed unicorn fashion, while we pushed behind. We did about four miles a day, and it took us nearly a month, during the last week of which we pretty well starved."

She had ceased roaring immediately an the arrival of the two lions, and had not made a sound since, from which we concluded that she was probably dead. I was armed with my express, while Pharaoh, in whose hands a rifle was indeed a dangerous weapon —to his companions—had an ax. On our way we stopped to look at the two dead lions. They were magnificent animals, both of them, but their pelts were entirely spoiled by the terrible mauling they had given to each other, which was a sad pity. In another minute we were following the blood spoor of the wounded lioness into the bush, where she had taken refuge. This, I need hardly say, we did with the utmost oaution; indeed, I for one did not at all like the job, and was only consoled by the reflection that it was necessary and that the bush was not thick. Well, we stood there, keeping as far from the trees as possible, and poking and speering about, but no lioness could we see. A l u m i n i u m a s a F o u n d a t i o n a n d H o w I t I s U s e d . In this era of reconstruction through which New York is passing even noses come in for their share of remodeling and rebuilding, says the New York Tribune. So many people are afflicted with a disfiguring disease which eats away the nose and face that "plastic surgery" has felt called on to find means to restore broken or decayed noses to their original beauty, or even to improve on that. Dr. Robert Weir was among, the first to ftisqover^a practical solution. He' experimented with "some success in-transplanting bones of living fowl to the human face. One of his earlier operations was conducted in a stuffy little Harlem flat. His patient was stretched on the table under ether; her face was laid open and streaming blood, but the duck, not re* ceiving due attention, had escaped unnoticed from the assistant. "Now, doo- We have done too little, when we have not done our prayerful best. Just try a lOcbox of Cascarets,candy cathartic, the finest liver and bowel regulator made.

" 'Yes, Inkoos* (chief), he answered, 'she has certainly gone away.' "Hardly were the words out of his mouth when I heard a most awful roar, and looking around saw the lioness emerge from the very center of a bush just behind Pharaoh in which she had been curled up. Up she went on to her hind legs, and as she did so I saw-that one of her fore paws was broken near the shoulder, l'oi it hung limply down. Up she went towering right over Pharaoh's head, as she did so lifting her uninjured paw to strike him down. And then, before I could get my rifle round or do anything to avert the coming catastrophe, the Zulu did a very brave and clever thing. Realixtor," said Dr. WeTrTto a dignified par^ tlt'lpant, oblige me by half-killing th"aT bird and let me have about three inches from its breast bone for this girl's nose.'' Amid the grewsome surroundings there were ten minutes of rigorous exercise in catching the bird and reducing it to a state of insensibility. Since then he has dispensed with live birds and has turned his attention to gutta percha, rubber, silver and gold for nose bridges. All these failed because electrical action was generated, requiring further operations. Finally, pure aluminum was resorted to with satisfactory results. Now the nose bone is made of that metal. It has a stout hook at the upper end by which it is secured to the base of the forehead, while the other end is held out from the face by two short legs terminating in sharp spikes which are anchored in the bone. There is no necessity for ugly scars, because the operation is carried on entirely beneath the skin. A lcng incision is made under the upper lip above the teeth, so that the whole flap of the face can be turned back like a mask or an old glove. Then when'the metal framework is secured the skin is drawn down again and the nose tis- { sue is shaped into a Grecian, Roman or ^^3Z A Little Child With a Little CoH. T h a t ' s a l l !

T*lftphon« Deed In Teaching P«*f Mttta* The rpedical officer of one of the leading deaf and dumb institutions of England, writing to the London Lancet, says that he has obtained material aid from the seeming improbable source of a loud-speaking telephone in the treatment of hie patients. In the education of those deaf mutes who possess a fragment of hearing power the telephone possesses many important advantages over the Bpeaklng tube usually employed. First and foremost, the wires from several receivers can be coupled up to one transmitter, and thus a teacher can Instruct a group of children at the same time; and, secondly, It is not necessary for the teacher to apply his mouth close to the transmitter, so that pupils have a full view ,of the facial expressions and lip movement, which hi not possible when he has to direct his voice into the mouth-piece of a speaking-tube or trumpet. The patient while seeing the movement of the lips Was the sound conveyed close to his ear drum; obviously a most advantageous combination. Omnlbatei Mast Qo.

The Christians armed themselves and attacked the troops and fighting continued several days, ami it was observed that the Turkish soldiers themselves fired from the ramparts on the hesids of the Christians. Several villages wen- destroyed by fire. Canea itself is in a state of revolt. The commanders of the Italian and French guuboats attempted to stop the lighting and lauded d e t a c h m e n t s of soldiers. The Christians at Halepa sought refuge at the office of the foreign consuls and on board the gunboats. Most of the Christians at Canea and the archives of the consulates have been placed on board the warships.

T h e executive sessions of the Senate still continue to be thorns in the flesh of a, number of Senators, but t h e y could not muster votes e n o u g h ;to abolish them w h e n such a motion was made.

The supreme court records have long been printed by Chicago parties at gr^at e x p e n s e , but Senator Covell says the state should do the work. The Senate k i l l e d the conference report providing for the sendi n g out of 4.000 copies of the—legtsla. of Turkey, in spite of the protests of the ambassadors of the powers, ordered Turkish warships and a transport loaded with troops to sail at once for Crete. London dispatches say that public official^there and on the c o n t i n e n t regard the situation as serious a n d as threatening the peace of whole Europe. In the e v e n t of a collision b e t w e e n Turkey and Greece it is doubtful w h e t h e r the e n t e n t e of the powers could be maintained.

The Viedomosti, in a frantic article, sees England's hands in the Cretan rising. Prince Okhtomsky's organ calls for the blockade of Crete* b y Franco-Russian fleets. The occupation of strategic positions bv l a n d i n g parties, it says, is the only way of restoring peace in the island which the enfant terrible of Europe diplomacy troubled.

'Vh. •-M-. "*rtifc W+im ri ^..tm^...^m *Tr> HE fame of Washington is so immense and the popular conception of his character BO exalted, that some skeptical and fault-finding crit^s are disposed to question the universal estimate, and espe: daily in the matter of his ability as a soldier and military commander. However much we may wish it otherwise, there is in human nature a mean spirit of envy and derr »ction which instinct!VeTy feels the "lTonors bestowed upon a greart uiau tu no treasury oKfinancial syBtem or responsibility. It was only a brave and ' patriotic people, small in numbers, without discipline or military experience, without arms and without money, rushing thus bare-handed Into a conflict with the mother-country, their own government; a powerful nation, which had recently been raised by the genius of the elder Pitt to the front rank among the great warlike nations of the world—a nation whose military posts and possessions already dotted the globe, whose victorious navies cov- ""^TT^vrTlittleness and baseness. This -viiit cropped out conspicuously in the • •aso of Columbus, in the efforts to belittle his great exploit and to blacken iiis character. I do not say that chrisms upon Washington's generalship nil proceed from base motives, but they doubiless do mostly come from the spirit and innate tendency which I have indicated. This unworthy spirit is as old as history, as old as humanity. It showed itself in a memorable fashion when the^ pld Athenians wrote their sentence of banishment against Artstides because they were tired of hearing him called "the lust." W a s h i n g t o n And N a p o l e o n . Great soldiers are to be judged not alone by success, by battles fought and victories won—though this, of course? is the great popular test—but by all the circumstances and difficulties in which they are placed. There are great commanders in history who have won fame by avoiding battles, like the Roman Fabius, and even by great retreata like Xenophon with his ten thousand Greeks.—If Washington is to be comvolunteers into an army, Washington a t the same time closely invested the British in Boston and finally drove them to their ships in the harbor, from which they sailed away, while the patriot army marched into the New England capital, which was never again to be trodden by the footsteps of an enemy. Thus was scored a great success at the opening. Then followed the march to New York to meet the enemy, landing In great force on Long Island; the brave but disastrous battle, followed by that masterly retreat ered every ocean and sea, whose morn- , which alone would stamp, Washington Ing drum beat, as Webster said, was j a s a great general; the gallant stand heard round the world. It was against | a t White Plains; the reluctant but such a power_asthis that this handful j s tern and heroic winter retreat through of patriots had thrown down the gage j the Jerseys ended by the master counter strokes of Trenton and Princeton, by which the great leader saved the of rebellion and defiance. W h e n E n g l a n d Cloned In.

The country was new, there was next to no cavalry a en^agem infantrv and at close range. There was little chance- for tactics or maneuvers. All depended upon pluck, hard fighting and endurance. A Providential Man. Washington is known In history as a providential man; that is, a man raised up by Providence to fill a great place and perform a great mission. HcVever this may be, he certainly had great parts and great and peculiar fitness for the most difficult and trying place which he filled in history. * He had had experience in the previous Indian and French wars, and had proven himself a wise, competent and heroic officer. He had great personal advantages for command. He was of fine physique and imposing presence, a ebb. Then the next year the struggle to save Philadelphia, the defeat at the Brandywine, where Lafayette first shed his blood in our cause; the loss of the continental capital and the well^ planned but accidentally lost battle of -Germantow-n.—T-faea t h e g l the souls of patriot men and proved the great soul of George Washington. Who but he could have held that defeated, freezing, starving army together in that terrible winter? And at the same time the country was filled pared, to bis disadvantage, with Napoleon, then the popular question 1B, would Napoleon, under the same circumstances, have done any better? It is enough for any commander that he fills the great measure of his requirement. This, of course, is not saying" that Washington would have filled the place of Napoleon in the vastly different field and circumstances in which that great- soldier won bis fame. Nor should it be forgotten, ail the while, that ultimately Washington succeeded f and founded a nation, while Napoleon} failed and lost an empire. * Waahiaston't Difllealt Task. The difficulties wmen encountered •Washington when he took^up hia great trust as commander-in-chief of the Icontinental army were most eomplljcated and Immense. The theater of the straggle was a vast one, geographically, stretching along' the Atlantic • c o a s t f r o m Massachusetts to South Carolina, while the whole population jwas only three millions—not very much greater than that of the state of Michigan, and not so great into a million as that 4>t Illinois. Out of this small* scattering and peaceful population, an army -was to be raised, organised ano equipped capable of contending wit£ the chief military and maritime power of the globe. And it was not to be a struggle between government and government, between one nation and another. It WA* a rebellion, and there was really no central authority, no arms or warlike : *orea, no navy, splendid horseman, carrying with him ever the port and air of authority and native majesty—an ideal commander. K n e w It M e a n t F r e e d o m . So when this noble Virginian appeared before that northern army and drew WASHINGTON THE SOLDIER his sword as their commander under those Cambridge elms his fame had preceded him and he was received with shouts of, welcome and of confidence. Then all men knew it was to be a struggle to the death. I have no room here, of course, to recount the particulars of that seven years' conflict. Patiently and steadily organising and disciplining the raw patriot militia and' I n t h e Darkest Honra. In this dark hour, too, Washington was beset-wits~cabais and conspiracies, in congress and in the army, to depose, him from the command which was to be given to the successful Gates. When in the early summer of 1778 the British commander evacuated Philadelphia, and Washington followed him with his little army to give him battle, on the field of Monmouth he met one of these detractors and conspirators, Gen. Lee, his second In command, disobeying his orders and in shameful and unnecessary retreat. It was here that Washington is said to have lost his temper. It is pretty well demonstrated that he did, and if Gen. Lee received upon his miserable head tnat day an explosion or titanic wrath it was surely no more than he deserved. Despite this untoward disarrangement of his plans Washington here won a partial success. The battle of Monmouth was his last engagement until the crowning victory of Yorktown, three years later. In the meantime the war was going on. in other parts of the great field of operations, battles and skirmishes were being fought and subordinate commanders, like Greene and Wayne and Morgan, were winning some laurels. But the central army was not immediately engaged. It was holding the ground and perfecting its alliance with the French forces, on land and' water, which had now come to our assistance. When all was ready came that sadden and rapid march from the Hudson to Virginia and the great final victory at Yorktown. Had Mo Pemrsir* small In the numbers engaged that they amounted to little more than successful skirmishes. And besides they were with Hessians and not with British regulars. Yorktown was, indeed, a great and crowning success^ hoi it was won with superior numbers and the honors had to be divided with the French. Greatest Figure In Htstorv* Hardly a better instance does bis- S tory afford of patience under provoca-J tlon, of dogged determination under I difficulties, of unconquerable will and ' courage, holdiug on so long and com- ! ing out triumphant at last over such i mighty opposition. These great quail- j ties, as we have already seen, belonged to the roan more than to the soldier. It was indeed the great man behind the soldier, the man with the great patriotic heart, with the wise head, and the lofty, unshaken soul, that brought us through t h a t t o n g and tremendous struggle and gave us our glorious place and opportunity among the nations. Xo other man on this continent but he could have done it. Greene, among the generals'of the revolution, would have come nearest to it, but he would have failed. But in looking over^the whole field and record, in the ligjht of all the facts and history, it will be seen that Washington made no military mistakes, that he improved all his opportunities, that his generalship will stand the test of criticism. He struck whenever he had the chance, his plans were good, and when compelled, his retreatB were masterly. womca ^ J things that BSERVING high days, holidays and birthdays is something of which a great many people are very fond. It has been said that we need- more holidays. Granting this, but there are many persons who never observe any, whatever they may be. There is one day that is full of suggestions— a day so linked with the history of our country that patriotic sentiments come to our hearts at its mere mention. Washington's Birthday ought to have a special programme of its own. -It would be an excellent idea to m a k e l l a r h i s t o r y -day, -A S « S B « ate at> They endure aft sorts of pain and misery with careaefs w h i c h »would sever be possfbtsiftbey r e a l i s e d the coaseqaeace*. rv» »* M.

He was' an unlucky general; fortune did not seem to smile upon him and he had more defeats than victories. Long Island, White Plains, Brandywine, Germantown— all these were defease"; some of them disastrous. Monmouth was little more than a drawn battle, while to offset these, Trenton and Princeton, while brilliant in conception and execution and great in effect, were so ning the serious affairs of life, let there be old folks' concerns and entertainments, Continental parties, masquerades in the old time costumes of the days of Washington. Let there be sham battles, with snow forts, if so be it that snow is plentiful. And it would not hurt the elders to take a hand in this fray. It would warm up the blood, stir up the ideas, rouse the patriotism and break the monotony that too often settles oyer a middleaged existence. There should be songs a ndfeastings, and dancing and rejoicing all along the line, and the assembled guests should thank heaven that such a man as George Washington ever lived, a mas whom nothing could discourage, a man who, through trials, disappointments, vicissitudes, treachery, ingratitude and persecution, kept ever alive in his heart one hope, one idea, one determination,, and that was to secure to *ha citlaens of~tbii~couhtry and their posterity forever the blessings of civil and religious liberty.

The last piece of property owned by px-Senator .Tabor of Denver was foreclosed a few days ago under & mortgage for »800,000. Fifteen years ago he possessed a fortune of over $6,000,- 000. The year 1877 found him with his family on the site where Leadville now stands. Here, with two other men, Tabor began mining in a small way and on an apparently poor prospect, In the coursp of a few months he sold his half interest for $1,000,000. Encouraged by this unexpected success, he went on selling and investing in new mining property until In 1880 he had a daily income greater than that of any man between New York city tmd Nevada. He built a residence that ?ost $1,000,000. Unfortunate investments, betrayed friendship, and political ambition, united with the stringency of the times, have wrought the THE HERMIT'S REMEDY 8PRUC8 QUM. m arc w m m 1« an Invaluable remedy for all affections of the TMROAT-and LUNGS.

It takes each year 200,000 acres of forest to supply trosstiea for the railroads of the United States. It takes 15,000,000 ties to supply the demand, for which the contractors get on an average 35 cents apiece, making in the aggregate »5,250,000. Family wines that rival the world in excellence are from Speer's. Passaic, N. J., Vineyards. The Claret, vintage 1881, the Burgundy and Port are very old superior wines. The Port is especially for Invalids. The Climax Brandy is very superior. Cripple Creek's Output. The total output of the Cripple Creek district from 1892 to 1895, inclusive, was $13,700,000. It is expected that this year's output will reach $10,000,000, making a total of $23,700,000. It is claimed thatof this year's1 output $3,- 600,000 will be net profit to the owners.

People are apt to imagine that a man who is good-natured does not work. Of all ordinary things, tiw worst U a stingy pie that is long oa crust and short on filling. The right kind of a man gains strength from failure, and does not let success breed inertness. It pays better to tell the truth and lose temporarily than to state falsehood and lose permanently. The most hopeless bankrupts are those who Lave filled, in trying to borrow brains enough to sTun their business. _ ^ A monkey farm has been established In Florida. TM<* explains why the Cuban war news from" that state has been so unreliable. It is believed a good many suicide clubs will be formed when the mini' mum amount of capital required by a national bank is fixed at $20,000. - Wild Hog, a Sioux brave, has left the reservation and gone to New York "to study civilization." He had likely heard the boys reading about the Seeley dinner. The talk about putting inventors on the government's paper money has been bad for Inventor McCormlck, in that it has brought out an assertion that he did not invent' hio reaper. Many an inventor is in oblivion while some richer man is getting the game thet belongs to him. A New York man called on a magistrate the other day and asked for a writ to compel his wife to support him. When the requesL was refused he volunteered the statement that he "might just as well not be married at all if there is no way to compel a woman to do her duty." Is this the "new man?" - T h e freedmen of the Cherokee nation will soon be paid their share of the strip money. There are 4,470 of them. They are. building a pay house at which they are to receive their portions. They are also building a hotel to entertaih~the "vTsTtoTB-and- sightseers. It will be one of the most notable gatherings ever held in .the territory. The sacred privilege of minister and magistrate who marry people to kiss the bride was rudely interfered with at Shelbyville, Ind., last week. Charles Comlin and Daisy Johnson were made one by Squire Thomas Kenton and the justice saluted Mrs. Comlin in the good, old Hoosfer fashion. Then Comlin gave the squire a biff in the eye and refused to pay for the services Just rendered. So 'Squire Kenton is out a doctor bill and a $5 note. A ciirgyman speaking in his pulpit recently gave utterance to the oftenrepeated declaration that no man ever honestly accumulated a million dollars. His mistake was in neglecting to specify employments. The statement would perhaps be true that no man ever honestly earned a million dollars laying bricks, but it is also true that a man could honestly earn a million dollars by his services in caring for great interests worth a hundred millions. There has been at least one Instance in which a man was paid during a few years three times a million dollars for exceptional service in behalf of vast pecuniary interests, and not one of the wise business men most interested, found fault with this valuation of the honest and faithful work he had done. Bank robbers and highwaymen also often accumulate vast fortunes. According to the recent annual report of Commissioner1 of Pish and Fisheries *Briee, BO leas than 48,000,000 shad eggs were collected, and from these 83,000,- 000 fry were planted into streams emptying into the Atlantic ocean and the OuH of Mexico.

While the atteoept to keep up the constantly decreasing supply of laaekesei along the New England coast was more or less experimental, 24.000.000 eggs were collected. Thirtyone million tautog dam eggs were collected in try Buasard's bay and 17*000,000 were liberated from them. DAILY DOINOS or comtaess.

B lived in a little cottage at Brixton, situated In a lane behind the broad highway. At that, time there were three of us; Beec r o f t , Mariner; Mary Beecroft, his wife; and I, Amos, their ton. Brixton then .was not what Brixton is now; there wag more country about, more fields and trees, though there are pretty bits to be found there today, if you search for them. The old cottage stands there still, mellowed by age, and prettier by contrast with its newer fellows that have grown round about it; but Beecroft, Mariner's, cheery "Yo, heave, hoT is no longer heard within or without its walls. Por a sufficient reason: he rests in another kind of habitation. His bones He at the bottom of the Atlantic. But I, Amos Beecroft, live there at this day, surrounded by memorials of Beecroft, Mariner's, love. Now, if you want me to describe our cottage, and to describe it briefly, I can do so in one word: Shells. It seemed to be built almost entirely of shells; they met you whichever way you turned, whichever way you looked. About the mantelpiece, on the walls, in the center of the celling (from which sometimes one would drop down with a bang), In frames, under glass shades, and skirting my mother's work-box and the looking-glass i n her bedroom. Even the tiny plot of ground In front of our cottage—the little plot of garden that was cut off from the footpath by -green wooden palings and a green wooden gate—even that was decorated with them. The shells that met your eye in every corner of the cottage haft been gathered north, south, cast, and west of the globe; and, so that there west, of the globe; and, so that there should be no mistake as to whose rest- ..._ dence it was, "Beecroft, Mariner," was4 woven outside In shells from various shores, directly above the low window which looked into our little front parlor. It may be well understood, therefore, that Beecroft, Mariner's, cottage was pretty well known round about it served, Indeed, as a kind of landmark in the neighborhood, and my father, ae I understand, was looked upon as a character. Not by any meana~"ai~~an objectionable character, for everybody had a smite for him, for the simple reason, I expect, that he himself had a smile and a good word for everybody. It was my greatest delight, as a youngster, to walk by his side through the Brixton streets, with my little hand in hie big one, and to imitate his walk, the roll of his body, and the very expression on his face, to let the people know that I was Beecroft, Mariner's, son. Hie shells were my delight as a boy; and on some of the few evenings «4 in the year he spent at home with ua, he would take me between his knees, and tell me stories of the sea in connection with these pets of his. "You, see^my son," he aaiifc-he always addressed we thus, and occasionally my mother took after him—£'you see, my son, when I am away your mother can't help but think of me. And why? Because of these shells. „6he puts one of 'em co her ear, and she says, ^Now I'm on the sea with Beecroft, Mariner, the father of my boy.' "Oh, my dear!' cried my mother, starting in a flutter. Beecroft, Mariner, wiped the blood from his hand with a smile, but immediately afterward, gazed at the delinquent shell with an air which implied that it had -been guilty of a breach of duty, and ought to be condemned to walk the plank. "Oh, my dear!" cried my mother again; "bow can you say such things?" "Well, but I should like to be buried In just such a grave," he said, with light persistence. "We must be buried some time and somewhere, and that's my fancy." She said nothing in reply; but a shudder passed through her at the mere suggestion of my father's death. In a certain way he had his wish, though the pattern of his grave was different, and his coffin a more spacious one than was meant in his expression. He died when I waa\7 years of age. On a dark night, during a sudden and raging storm, while helping to reef the maintopgallant sail, he lost his hold, and slipped Into the grave of the Atlantic. As*the wild waves received and closed ovfer him, blotting him out of the world forever and ever, perhaps a vision came upon him of his wife and child in their little cottage at Brixton, brightened by the mementos of his love; and perhaps, In the midst of his brief agony, it brought a spark of comfort to him. I was a sailor before my father's death, and themanner of his death did not frighten me. It was a proper sailor's death, I thought in my childish way, and I was proud of my father for dying it, and proud of myself for being such a Bailor's son. Sometimes of a night, when I was abed, I would put a shell to my ear, and, with my eyes closed, I would see my father floating down to the bottom of the sea, where he would He with a cheery and smiling face, among beautiful sea-weed and coral and shells of pearl. I never in these fancies saw him with any but a cheerful and stnlllug face. Reallx»._I_ had been a sailor in my heart from my cradle upward. I do not know whether this came from innate love or from education; but I do know that, whether I was bred or born to it, I loved the sea with a deep and passionate love. Never have I forgotten the first time I saw It. It stretched before me calm and vast, and over the water lln'e in the distance lay the wonders which I should one day see. They were hidden from me now, but the time would come. I was silent from Joy. That Is the world, thought I—my world, In which I shall live and be a sailor, like my father. I regarded the, land as of the very smallest consequence; it occupied but an insignificant position in the universe according to my reckoning. CHAPTER II. T is not to be wondered at that I had such ideas, for my inclination for the was fostered and encouraged in every conceivable way. I was the sailor pet of the neighborhood, and from the time 1 remembered myself I was always dressed sailor fashion. I haven't the slightest doubt, Judging from the impressions s She follow* rae about to different places; that* how it is. And shells have different voices. They tell you Almost everything about the sea you'd like to know. Listen to this," and he put & shell to my ear, "Can't you hear 1 a storm brewing? And here's the wind howling through a pitch-black night; and here's a mermaid singing; and there's the soft flapping of the sails as Afre lay becalmed, praying for a breeze; and here—shut your eyes, my son— here we are surrounded by great white ghosts—feebergs, my son, with seavoloee all about us." I lisened in a kind of rapture to eucfa tttteraaoes as these, and saw and heard the shells ail that my father described with rough and eloquent tongue. U he could have found and brought home a shell large enough for ratHo life In, I betterche would have been the happiest man alive. 1 gathered, that the children in the neighborhood regarded me as something particularly marvelous, , and that no high-admiral, .however fine and grand his cocked hat a^d 8word and gold laced clothes might be, would have held a higher position in their estimation than young Amos Beecroft. I could not have been more than 6 years of age when I found myself standing on the outskirts of a crowd of peo- ' pie gathered together in a street near that in which I lived. How I came there I do not know; but there I waa, a spectator of the scene. It was a violent crowd, and loud and angry words*) were being ym&._ The people were] gathered about an open street door, and from what I could understand with my childish mind, * family were, being turned oat of their house In oonse qoenoe of owing sons money' which Sitting st homo with us one evening, ; h e said, half in jest,, half in earnest, **I should like to be buried in a shell eoata, in a grave lined with shelto." Nov, it was a circumstance to be | iuperstltiously remembered la after days; that, as he uttered these words*} la the little parlor at Brixton; 1 shell] Cstl from the ceiling and < erased his money 4 they were unable to pa£ Their furniture had been seised and sold, and they were being bundled into the streets. The sympathies of the crowd were with them, as is invariably the ease on such occasions, crowds being always composed ef poor people; and oaths and threats were flung at the man to whom the money was owing, and who had in this way enforced his claim. 1 heard -his i..ame. It was Druoe, Prebo.i;;., v.; ».-.• ;yi divided. J and by some means I was in the center of it, standing by the two men who played the principal parts. The face of one of these men was white and pinched and livid, as though with fear and malice; the face of the other was convulsed with passion, and blood waa trlcklingdown it. Instinctively, child as I was, I knew which was the wronged man, and wnieh the wronger, and their faces became Indelibly stamped upon my memory. The name of the wronger, also, would never have been forgotten by me, even if in afterdays I had not cause to remember it. I ran home, in terror of it and him, and told the story to my mother with tears and sobs. Mr. Druce was a money-lender in our neighborhood. When he died, bis son inherited his business. The name was over his office, and I never saw' it in my boyish days without its bringing before me the faces of two men, one white and livid, the other convulsed with bitter passion, and with the blood trickling down it, and I invariably hated the one and sympathized with the other. - Up to a certain period in raj life I met this son but once. He was a man, and I was a man. Perhaps he was three or four years older than I was. I stood with my hand on our little wooden gate, and he came and stood before me. I had no idea who he was, never having seen him Ur know him. His shadow falling across my path caused me~to look down upon him. I could do that; I was taller than he. A thin, inquisitive face was that face of "bis, with eyes that were bright,, but had no softness In them. He could not have^been ashamed of his face, for It was "perfectly smoth and hairless. Mine, on the contrary, had plenty of hair upon it. "Good evening, neighbor," said, ha That was a claim to a kinship in friendliness. "Good evening," said I, scarcely looking at him. . "A fine evening," was his next observation. * It happened not to be a fine evening, and I remarked that he talked like a barber. He accepted my correction good humoredly. "Not being a sailor," said he, *1 don't know the signs of the weather as well as you." "You know when it rains, I suppose," I said, with a wave of my hand, for a slight mist was falling. "Ah, yes, indeed," he replied, in a tone of surprise, looking up as though he were only now aware of the fall- Ing mist. "You have been a long time away." I had been absent on a long voyage, and had betn home but a few days. I nodded, 7Yes, a long time," and would hayVleft him, but that he seemed to have something more he wished to say. "You have been to Africa, I hear?" "Yes, to Africa, and other coasts." "I've read," said he, "that-gold-Isdug up there by the savages." "That's so." "And feathers, worth their weight in gold?*' "I don't know about their value. Feathers are got there." "And pearls in other places, and coral?" "That's so." "And you've been to those places." "Ay." His bright eyes that had no softness in them gleamed still more brightly and eagerly, but still it was in a hesitating tone—as though he were suspicious I should take advantage of him—that he continued his questioning,: "Have you got any?" asked he. "Any what?" "Feathers and bits of coral and that like." I laughed at him. "I've enough to do," said I, "without bothering my head about such things. Besides, they're out of my reach." "Out of your reach!" he repeated. "Ay. It takes money to buy them." He chuckled, and rubbed his hands. "And you've no money?" "Not more than I know what to do with. Have you?" At this question of mine he gave Jiis body su4i a remarkable screw, thafit appeared to me as though all in one moment he was buttoning himself up from top to toe. "I've get a little," said he, with a slow twisting of his fingers, "and I'm fond of turning it over—turning it over." "Well" said I, with another laugh. "turn it over.", ^fin-traders mean.

Winning ham is a wellknown and venerable gardener of Mattoon, nilnoi*. Seventy-tivo years ago Mr. Win* pingham was born iu Aahboro, North Carolina, where he resided nmii 1800, when he removed to his present residence. When only thirty-one years of age the old gardener says he began to be afflicted with nervousness and cramps, whicu iu later y e a n developed into urio*ry, or perhaps kidney troub.e of so violent a character tnat It was no uncommon thing for him to void a gallon in a night, exudation through the oores being absolutely unknown. To a re- Ejrter, who visited the old gentleman, on earing of his restoration to health after so many > ears of suffering, he made the foiling statement: " X suffered for all those* Ion*: years with intense pain in too bad*, nervousness end from the passing of large quantities of Water This was undoubtedly a form of a iu betes.and so described by my physician* of whom I had many. Stryohniae and nitre ami many other remedies were tried, as well as change of climate, but nothing did me any good. I was so horribly nervous that I could not lift a drinking vessel to my mouth if the-^ was not a handle attached to it. A great part of the time I was confined to bed. The commencement of the disease was in l&4o,when I had a bad attack of '• southern fever" in North Carolina. " About three years ago I read an advert i s e m e n t of Dr. Williams1 Pink Pills and thought 1 would try them,as they might do me good.

"It is shabby.'* Lon|; after his wife and children were sleeping Mr. Janeway Bat smoking and thinking complacently of his success.

So much of earthly glory had fallen to his share. When he read the obituary of another self-made man he always nodded his head safely as much as to say. "I know how it goes; I started with nothing myself." In fact Mr. Janeway's election to the legislature came of-4he admiration the electors had for a man of the people. When his constituents hired a band and went to congraiulr. ro him they found him ready with a speech. He said: "Fellow-cltize: u\ I will not try to hide from' you my depij gratification at the result of the election. I wanted to be elected— I have wanted a good many things and I've generally got them. But not without working. I starred with nothing— I did chores for my keep, I went to school when I could. I picked up a penny here and a penny there;-• I did any honest work that I could find. And where am I naw? President of a baak. ex-mayor and member of the legislature. I thank you, friends, for your votes, yet I feel that I have won my own way; that I am one, a private, perhaps, in Lhe great army of selfmade men." He bowed and retired amid loud applause. In another, this made man is to pra out stint. Mr. and Mrs. Janeway had just come from a visit to their new house, which their architect assured them was in the purest style of the gothle renaissance. But they were sare, too, which seemed to them of far more Importance, that it was the finest house in town and quite eclipsed Mrs Morgan's red-bricl: mansion. They were to move into it at once and Mrs. Janeway went about the old house planning what should be left behind, as not coming up to the artistic standard of the new pface: "'Gome here a minute, Madison," she called from an obscure entry back of the diningroom. Mi. Janeway laid down-his-paper-and- A woman walked across the room. A plain woman, with an honest, ugly face and a short, thick figure. "Who are you?" Mr. Janeway asked, frowning at her intrusion. "Don't you know me, Maddy?" she returned. Ht> was startled when she called him Madc:y—it was more than twenty years since he had been called that. "Are— you—are— you—bijt_ _you can't be Sarah," he stammered. "She has been dead these many years." "I am Sarah," she answered. "You have changed, Maddy." "Yes—yes—we are apt to," he replied, uneasily. "But you look just the same." He said this to see if she would account for her presence. "The living can only see the dead as they were in life," she returned. "You sold the farm, didn't you?" Mr. Janeway felt as if a reproach lay in the observation. "Yes, I sold the farm," he said. '"I needed the money to put into, other investments." "I worked hard on that place," she said, crossing her hands—very rough, worn hands. "I worked very hard there those, years—I tried to save all I could, Maddy." "You were a good wife, Sarah," he replied; "and both of us had our burdens, I guess." - -And it was my money that bought the farm—you had nothing when you came courting me, did you, Maddy?

"Pshaw—tha' dream holds to me still," he exolaimed "but anyhow I've done her justice."

Her dull eyes seemed to force him to acknowledge his debt. "Yes- -yes—Sarah. I know that I owe much to you. Without your help and money I should have had a much harder time getting on my feet. Yet I think I should have succeeded in any case." Mr. Janewr.y could not forbear offering this,tribute to his self-esteem. "How- -ever, I gratefully acknowledge your aid, Sarah." "You have another wife now, Maddy, and children." she said. "But I was went to her, followed by Florry, their youijgest chill. "What is it, my dear?" he asked. •'Hadn't we better pack this away-— the frame's so shabby that it isn't fit for the new house?" She pointed to a faded photograph, hanging in a dark corner. It was the likeness of-a plain woman, with a broad mouth ana. eyes widely separated; the hair was parted and drawn bacK from the forehead like two curtains; a watch-chain picked out in gilt encircled her neck and her lips and cheaks were touched with carmine, giving the face a ghastly pretense of life.

I knew that you were different from me—I knew that you had hopes that stupid Sarah could never understand. I knew that I was your companion in your work, but not in your hopes. I knew that we were growing further apart every year that we lived together. I knew that while I was getting to be worked out and middle-aged, that you were only coming to your prime. I knew that it was best that I died when I did—before I came to be a drag on you. Yet, Maddy, before her and your children, I think you ought not to shame me, for I was your faithful wife—the wife of your youth, and I gave you all I had to give—my money,'my love, my toil." Before Mr. Janeway could answer she was gone and he sat alone. The next day, however, he took the old i*hotograph downtown and ordered for it a gorgeous frame. When it w#s returned he hung it in his new library, SOME LATE NEW THINGS. * An adjustable handle for carrying traveling bags is arranged so that It can be fastened to either side of the b&g by riveting a pair of bracelets into which the ends of the handle lock to each side of the bag, thus allowing the bag to be carried either fiat or edgewise, as desired.

"I went to school when I could, but that was mighty little, for I had to work moat of the time. Sometlosee I'd get most discouraged, but I had to work just the same.

There was a great -light house out at sea. One night the men lighted the lamps, as usual. Some time afterward they saw that there appeared no light upon the water where ordinarily there was a bright lane of beams. They examined their lamps—they were burning brightly. But they looked outside and there were millions of little insects on the glass, so thickly piled there that the light coulJ not get through:—Iiithe7 morning they learned that a ship had been wrecked close by because the light had been obscured by the insects. Here is the lesson, says Dr. Miller: The lamp may be burning brightly in your soul or in mine; but little faults—pride, ugly temper, selfishness, half-heart edness, bad habit* of tongue, carelessness about paying debts or keeping promises, a hundred other things—may so cloud our lives ae to obscure the image of God in oar souls.

WIOLSH, a director in the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and for many yearn prominently identified with the tniainess interests of Philadelphia, died recently at hia residence on Chestnut » Hill. Mr. Welsh, for many years one of the most active railroad men of the country, was born in Hanover, York county, lJ a„ in 1824. His ancestors were of the strong race of German Lutherans, who came from the Palatinate in 1737 and settled in York county. His grandfather served during the revolutionary war, holding a commission issued by John Morton as speaker of the Pennsylvania assembly, seven days after he had signed the Declaration of Independence. Henry D. Welsh attended school at Hanover academy until he was 16 years of age, subsequently finding emploment In a dry goods store in York to learn the-business, where he remained until 1845. At the age of 20 he moved to Philadelphia and found a position as salesman in the wholesale dry goods house of Rank, Brooke & Repplier, remaining with them until 1852, when he became a salesman for James, Kent & Santee, afterwards James, Kent, Santee & Co. Mr. Welsh was admitted as a partner in t h e firm In 1856, continuing with the firm until January 1, 1881, when he retired from business.

The Virginia state board of caRvassj. rs, in canvassing the votes foi congressman in the tenth district decided .hat certain votes cast for^Jacob Yost :onld not be counted for J.

Flood, the lemocratic candidate a plurality. vVl'th a magnanimity which is rare in political contests, Mr. Flood, while ivovving hit* belief that he received a majority of the votes legally cast, has leclined to accept a certificate of eler-, .ion obtained by this technicality. , They excel in power, sweetness of tone, variety, elegance and durability.

Mr. Welsh was also vice-president and director of the American Surety Company of New York, director of the Pennsylvania Institute for the Deaf and Agricultural Aatrology. We often hear of the farmer "planing in th«* moon"-or literally,. plantng at certain phases of' the moon. This idea Is more practical than the irst thought would indicate and if carried out scientifically the results wouldiurprise t h e most skeptical and the tost of the experiments would amount ,o almost nothing, for it would cost IO more t o plant at one time than an-- )ther. Produce that matures above he ground should be planted during ,he light of the moon and that which natures in the ground should be slanted in the dark of the moon, and n either case the moon should be in \ f'Miitfiil •slsn of the Zodiac.

The Salvation Army in Chicago has a plan similar to that a*o effectively employed by General Booth for the regeneration of the dwellers in the lowest slums of London, and which h a s been followed with good results.

Tha Powers **e Trjdna; to Prevent a. Clash—Greece Mends Warships aud Troop* to Help thw Insurgent*) in Crete— ' The conflict b e t w e e n Greece uiui .Turkey seems to be rapidly approach inff. The Christian insurgents in Island of Crete are throwing" off the yoke of the Mohutumedun rule of the hnvbarpus Turks and Greece is evidently determined to help t h e m jruin 1h«*ir freedom if possible. Tue Grecian torpedo flotilla, commanded by 1'iince George started for Crete amidst yreat enthusiasm on the part of the people. Prince Cieorge admitted that his orders were to prevent by every means possible the landing of utiy Turkish troops on the Island of Crete. The Hritisli sailors cheered the Greek troops, just a t they were starting for Crete. A fresh flotilla of four torpedo boats is held in readiness at Athens to sail for Crete and reinforcements of troops are being hurriedly dispatched to the frontier. The departure, of t h e tirst flotilla has aroused the greatest enthusiasm in the provinces. Patriotic demonstations are taking place in all parts of Greece. A dispatch from Alliens says that the central Cretan committee in Greece is preparing to support the Cretans with arms, ammunition and supplies on a great scale. The first installment has already sailed with tiOO armed Cretans. The same dispatch say* that the departure of the Creek torpedo flotilla for the Island of Crete was due to the announcement that Turkish torpedo boats had left the Dardanelles and that Turkish troops had embarked at Salonika for Crete. Nobody seems to doubt a clash at arms will occur between Greece and Turkey, unless the powers intervene; but it is believed here that Greece will be given a free hand Crete aud t h a t if she succeeds in annexing that island her rvrht to do so will not be questioned by the rest of Europe. Advices from Constantinople say that there is a disposition in official circles to hold the powers responsible for anything that may happen in Crete. The sultan lias been prevailed upon by the ambassadors to refrain from sending reinforcements to Crete and lie has the assurance that the powers have decided to not permit the landing of Greek troops on the island. But the porte has informed the powers t h a t if thev are unsuccessful in preventing G;vek intervention in Crete the Turkish government will be compelb*d to begin military operations on tin; Thissalia frontierT or in otluir_words. T u r k e y will declare war against Greeee and promptly invade that county. The situation on the Island of Crete is serious, indeed. The insurgent-, have gained control of the whole island With the exception of the larger towns and have formed a provisional government. It is said that the Greek warships have landed a quantity of arms, ammunition and provisions and at least one body of troops in spite of the warships present to prevent it. Conflict*! are reported f.om many parts of the island. The captain of the Greek warship off Herukhon threatened to bombard the town if the Mohammedans commit any outrages in that vicinity. The Powers Take a Hand. Later dispatches from Canea and from Athens show that history is* being made very rapidly in the Island of Crete. The insurgents are g e t t i n g the upper hand of their Turkish rulers. They occupied the heights above Canea and began to bombard the town. This move caused the Turkish military governor Prince Georgi lieroviteh to resign his position and board a Turkish man-of-war. The consuls of the powersTrppealed to the vessels of their respective governments and troops were landed from the men-of-war. The Russian, French. English and Italians each furnished 100 men. the Austrians 50. With the consent of the Turkish authorities t h e - w h o l e detachment landed, under command of an Italian officer, a similar detachment commanded* by a French officer, is held in readiness to land. Russian, French, English, and Austrian flags were then hoisted on the ramparts of the town. Ttte commander of the Greek squadron w a s notified of their landing and the bombarding ceased. Greece stands firm against every move~of.Jthe powers and Col. Vasses, aide-de-camp to t h e k i n g of Greece, and commander of the Greek army corps h a s landed w i t h a force of troops from four warships at Platonics, only ~an hour^s distance from Canea, has issned a proclamation to the Cretan people and has also demanded the surrender of the Turks. The p e o p l e of Greece grow more wildly enthusiastic every hour and it is becoming generally conceded t h a t it is now to late for King George t o w i t h d r a w , even if he should Aesire to do so.

They're as thick as sprats here and there in places." , He gave me a. sour look, and turned It off to a laugh almost as sour. "You sailor fellows like to have your joke. Look here, now. I lend money, and am, fond of a bargain. You're a bold, strong man. Get some of them pearls and feathers, or anything foreign and curious, and bring them home to mo, and I'll pay you handsomely for them." "I tell you I've enough else to do. They don't came In my way." And I turned and opened the gate, for there was something in the man made mer dislike him—something that seemed to say, "I'd buy your blood if I could make money put of it." "Think it ovor," wild he, detaining me. -All right; I'll think M over. And that's all I will do," said I to myself. "There's money in it, I tell you— money. You're not rich enough to turn your nose up at that. We'll talk about it again. I see you're in a hurry now. Good evening, Mr. Beecroft" He held out his hand. "Good evening, Mr. " •Druce," said he; "that's my name." His hand lay in mine like a parcel of bones. I dropped it quickly, and spit into my palm and rubbed it on my trousers. He looked at me angrily, and I saw in his face, which had grown white and livid at my action, the likeness to that white and livid face which formed part of my childish remembrance. The face of the other man, too, the man who had been wronged, with the blood trickling down it, came before me again. "What is the meaning of this?" he asked. : "This," I answered, hotly; "that I want no more of your words or your company. I know you, Mr. Druce, and what stuff you're made of." . I am aware that it was most unreasonable in me to speak fo him in this way. If his father had done a wrong, what kind of Justice was it to make the son accountable for It? But Ithe name and all that belonged to it were destestable to me, and what was in me was bound to come out. ] He seemed as though he were about to speak passionately in reply, but he fondle and pat her shoulder to soothe and calm the good old soul. When I was a man full grown, having paBaed through thirty changes of the seasons, I came home—from India this time—and, peeping -through the window of our cottage, I saw that my mother was not alone. A little girl was with her, seven or eight years old maybe, and my mother was talking to her, pointing with her finger, and nodding her head gently, after the fashion of elderly women when they are interested in what they are saying. The child sat, open-eyed and still, listening to the old woman's gossip. I doubted not that it was of me she was speaking, for when I gave out my lusty, "Yo, heave, ho!" she started to her feet, crying, "And here be is!" and before" wu knew where we were, we were kissing and crying over each other. When, she recovered herself a little, she turned to the child, and said, as she wiped her eyes: "This is my son—my Amos!' The little maid nodded, and stared at me solemnly. I drew her to me, and she stood at my side with her hand in mine; a pretty little fairy she was, with her blue eyes and fair face and light auburn hair which hung in wavy curls to her shoulders. Her name was Mabel. She was the child of a neighbor, and between her and my mother quite' a fond friendship had been struck up. The old mother lived all alone, and I was glad to think that she had obtained such a pretty little companion to spend an hour with now and again. "I shall call you mqther's fairy," said I, smoothing her hair. Her eyes sparkled. "Have you seen any?" "Fairies, my dear? No. But I've stjcu what's almost as good." We soon became friends, and I did not quarrel with the little maid because she was inclined to place a higher value upon me than such a common fellow as I deserved. It was not her fault; she looked at me through my mother's spectacles, which the old woman had placed on her eyes. It did reither rrf us any great harm. She, child-like, was very curious about the shells, regarding them as the most precious possessions; and I told her a £reat deal about them, and about the goasts on which they were sa-thereeV altered his mind, with a shrug of bis shoulders. He walked away, and 4,* Hvas glad to be rid of him. CHAPTER III. ELL, then, I followed the sea, as it was my fate and my pleasure to do; and the usual experience* of a sailor's life were mine. What portion of my pay I could afford to allow my mother was not quite sufficient for ner wants. She eked it out by earning some small sum herself—never mind in what way; sufficient that It was in an honest way. Jack ashore, in. the person of Amoa Beecroft, was a hon>e-blrd, believe me. It was one of my great pleasures when 1 returned home from a voyage to •walk from the docks to the little house of shells In Brixton, and to peep through the ^wThoow at my mother^ bustling about, making preparation for me, or, ail the preparation being made, and there being nothing else for to do, to see her sitting in her chair, pretending to work, while all the while jher heart was in her ears, as she listened for my step. I never told her the exact day I was coming, and indeed I never knew, for the elements baffle man's judgment, but what I mean is, if I had known, I should not have told her. It pleased me to give jher a surprise. Therefore, If, as I turned the corner of the street, I saw her standing at the little cottage door, or by the little garden gate, with her hand to her eyes looking out for me, I would dodge about, and wait till she was inside. When all was safe, I would walk gently to the house, and would look up abovethelittle low window to see that there wasn't a shell missing in "Beecroft, Mariner," and would creep to the window and peep~through^ Then nevjr sijspectiHg until now that I had po much to tell worth listening to. I vould pause sometimes, doubtful vhether it was worth listening to, but hhe invariably wound me up again by crying, softly and eagerly, "Go on; go" <sn!" and on I would-go. as well pleased as she was herself. At sea again, I thought much of her and of her fairy ways, which were a new and delightful experience in my rough life. On my return, I found her as before in my mother's cottage, and I made a kind of castle with the shells, with windows and turrets in it, and a place Inside for candles; and if I had not already won her heart, I won it on the presentation of this toy. But a child's heart is not hard to win. So the years went by, and I reached the age of forty. I had been on my longest voyage, and had gone through some dangers unnecesasry to relate, and it was with more than ordinary satisfaction that I walked with a light step to the cottage of Beecroft, Mariner. My heart glowed as I drew near to the old familiar spot, noting little I would softly turn the handle of the door, and cry out in my heartiest tone, "Yo, heave, ho!" u was my father's custom before me when he returned home; *ad, the next moment, or the same moment, or the moment before— tor I sever know exactly how It came about—her arms would be round my nock, and she would be o«>vtng over me. while I, with something in my4 to feel as I •yes, too, that madr rhern <ftm. would eager word signs by the way which, insignificant though they might be, were to me endearing landmarks. Nothing was changed! not even my old mother, who pressed me once more to her faithful heart, with tears and words of Joy. "And Mabel?" I asked. "My little maid!" My mother looked with a smile across my shoulder, and I turned and saw her. But It seemed to me that I was gazing on A fairy vision in a cloud, and for a moment or ttro I was spell-bound. Was this fair and beautiful creature the Mabel I had left behind? Was this lovely vision my little maid? Yes, it was she, and no vision that would vanish at a good rub of the eyes. She came toward me with smiles and outstretched hands. I took them ^nd held them ta^^nine; and we stood gating at each other, I in wonder, she with smiles upon her face. Hitherto I had always kissed her, and she~had kissed me, but either my wonder, or the new light in which she appeared to me now, caused me to hold back. And after the first moment or two, the opportunity was gone. I can't telf you how badly I felt over it. Something sweet seemed to have gone out of my life, leaving behind an aching feeling in my breast She did jot appear felt, for she was ful! of v/V!\ c.'nir slowly and awkwardly. Pt^hape o ah but myself the chan**, was natural, meet* tng now, as we did, as man and woman; but to me it was an unexpected and uncomfortable experience. Mabel could not stay with us long, having home duties to attend to. "I saw you coming down the street," she said, "and threw on my hat and ran after you to shake hands with you." "That was good of you, Mabel," said I. "Good!" she exclaimed. "See what a time you have been away—so l o n g - so long! I have been looking every day for your return." "And if I had never come back, Mabel?" - The first answer she gave me w a s a reproachful look. Then she said: "There are some things we should not ,speak lightly of, Death is one," "A sailor looks it In the face very often, Mabel, and grows t o think more lightly than landfolk. You have really missed me, then?" "Indeed I have." "And thought of me?" "Indeed I have. And spoken to you, and aeen you." "Why, Mabel!" I cried, in surprise, not understanding her. Her hand was lying lightly on ray arm, for these words interchanged between us as I walked with her to the end of our street. "You forget," she Bald, "that the shells you gave me have voices, and that when you put them to your ears and close your «yes, you can see and hear things." "Ah, that's like my little Mabel, like my'little'.maid that I have always loved. Look at me, Mabel, am I changed?" "Not a bit. I should have known you anyhere. Am I?" She put the question laughingly, and with the prettiest little toss of her beautiful head. I gazed at her in fullest admiration. "It's well I met you here instead of in foreign lands; for then I should have wondered, 'Can this be the little Mabel I left behind me?' I should have doubted until you spoke to meT~For your voice is not altered." "Nor my heart," she said, softly. A sweet and sudden Joy stirred within me at these simple words. In the endeavor to set down my feelings here, I am not sure that I shall succeed in making myself understood, especially when I remember that Mabel was a girl of seventeen, and I a man of forty. N J ha.6. never given much thought toiN^men; I had been satisfied with my 0 ¾ mother's love, and for the last ten years with the love of-a child. They were enough for my thoughts to turn to during my voyages, and they formed, as It might be, a star which shone brightly for me during the darkest night and through the fiercest storm. But now~th~at~T came home, and, without forewarning or thought of it, found in the place of the child a woman, with all a woman's soul shining out°of her eyes, and proclaiming itself—at least to my fancy— "Tn every graceful action of her beautiful form—now it was different, and it opened new channels for my thoughts to wander in. Why, when I caressed the child Mabel, and played with her fingers, I had no other idea but that we two were good friend^, and would forever remain so, she always a child, and I always a rough man. N o w the pressure of her soft fingers remained upon my hand for hours, the light of her beautiful eyes was ever before me, the sound of her sweet voice lingered in my ears like the faint music of a harp which needs but the whisper of a summer's breeze to awaken Its sweetest melody. How often during my next two voyages these hew i m - pressions came upon me I cannot say. (TO BE CON*TIV(7i£!>. ' S U N D A Y BAD HABITS.

I expect to have a long stay at home this 11 m e — t o spend Christmas there, In fact. Tomorrow I am to* take tea with Mabel and her mother. Mabel**'mother is a widow, as mine is. Strange to say, I have never seen her, :wd have never entered her house. , The day has come and gone, and I am sitting by a winter's Are, talking by fits -and starts to my old mother about ^one thing and another. It all comes back to me as clear as the noonday sun. The years, that have passed since then and now melt away, as though they have never been. Mot un hour ago I left Mabel's house, ; rid I am -gazing now at her blue eyes and fair lace, which appears before mo in the tire's glow. I have been •aiking a great deal (luring the night to Mai.-sl and her mother, relating what litoriew c.i the sea within my own experience l deemed would be most interesting to them. Mabel's mother and 1 have shaken hands for the first iaie. She is fair, like her daughter, sml her eyes are blue; but not that beautiful blue which makes Mabel's so charming. Her behavior to me has set -e thinking. When I entered her house, her cold hand greeted me in a fairly cordial manner; but 1 noticed even then that although her lips smiled, her eyes did not. When Mabel smiles, her eyes light up; there is no soul in a smile when the eye plays no part in it. Upon my leaving Mabel's hous* her mother's hand lay dead in my palm, and it did not return the pressure of mine. Her husband had been a small guilder, and when he died, had left barely enough for the support Of herself and Mabel. So much I learned before I .vent to her house. Now, what has set my thoughts wandering as I look into the fire? Her add hand which lay dead in my palm? No. not that alone. What else, then, in connection with that? A simple iiing -a passing expression on her face, that was there but a moment, and Then was gone; in this way: We have had tea, and the tea-things are cleared. I am talk- •^sV and talking, and Mabel and her v.iuher are listening. I, full of my :heme,-am maundering away on some .vartiing experience—startling to them, becomes nore spare. But as I gaze at her now she becomes transformed. The lines and wrinkles disappear, the flesh ] lmun- and Mabel's eyes are fixed on my face, and my eyes are fixed on_hers, when un unusual stillness arouses r^e *-/3111 my dream. | For I am dreaming. The magnetic influence of a presence that I love has o.isi a spell over me, and has mad* n.t- unconscious of everything" else about me. For the matter of that, Ma- 1)'*1 and I m'jfcM be alone in the world. An unusual stillness, I say, and it is what I mean; for, although before I receive this new impression the sound of my voice is the only sound to be heard in the room, and although no person but myself has spoken for many minutes, the new silence is different from the old. There are thought that move like living things 'within you, and Here are-some wortr-- lng their spell upon me. And under their influence my eyes wander from .Mabel's face to meet her mother's. . Well, I se* .-:•. frown there, that is all; but a frown ;Aat tells a story I cannot read as yet. I am striving to spell out that story now. ,' It was not a shadow from the fire falling on her face, and distorting tne linos there, or playing on it to its disadvantage; R was a frown like a black cloud. And when I bid her good night her hand lies cold and dead in mine. And Mabel's good night? It is as kind and warm as ever it was; and she does not see that my mind Is troubled, being, mayhap, unconscious of the cause. r I come nome, where 1¾¾¾ aturronndod by the shells that a dead man gathered when life was strong within him. I gate into the fire, and I see. love. Ay, in these dull, inanfcnate 'shapes I see the star that illuminates the world, and beautifies it—the Star of Love. i I turn toward my mother, with a shell at my ear. In reality she is a small, shriveled woman, In whom one would imagine but little sentiment eould abide. I have noticed lately that as she grows older her form shrinks, and luster, the cheek its color; the shrunken form fills out, and in my fancy I see her as I satf her I n my childhood, before my father went to his death—a comely, pretty woman. Now, what causes me to throw my voice in the direction of the door, and to call out suddenly and unexpectedly; "Yo; heave, ho!" My mother starts up with a scream, and runs to the door with a frightened look. There she stands, trembling and white, with eyes that see nothing that is really there, and with outstretched hands that seem to have tongues in them, so eloquent are they. "Why, mother," I say, "what are you looking for? A ghost!" She gives me a scared look, and lets me lead her back to her chair, into which she sinks, still all of a tremble "Jt was I who gave you that 'Yo, heave, ho!' mother." "Really you, Amos?" "Really me, mother." "Your voice was so like yom father's, my son," says she, almost in a whisper; "and at that moment I was looking into the fire, and thinking of him " Presently she adds, "I didn't know but that he might be calling me to come to him." I pass my arm around her neck, and she takes my hand and holds it in hers, so thaUshe has a necklet of her own loving jfertSh and blood about her. "Then my voice is like my father's- ?' "Yes, my son," "How well I remember his Yo, heave, ho!' It used to make me jump for joy." "It was the first thing you ever heard from him, Amos. He was in the Indies when you were born. He came home in the early morning when we were abed, not expecting him. Ah, deary me! deary me! When I heard his voice I gave a scream, as I did Just now " Then comes a long silence, during which we both look into the fire again —I seeing Mabel, and my mother the dead, with his "Yo, heave, ho!"- "Father was a fine man, mother?" "Yes, my son; you are like him." It is the first time my attention has ever been called to my personal appearance. Well, yes, I wasn't a cripple, nor wry-faced. I had a fine brown beard tn~thwe" daysr and I was tall and straight-limbed. "So I am like my father. I am glad of that. It was a love-match, mother?" She knows that I refer jto her courting days, and she draws a deep breath. "Yes, my son. We loved each other true." ^ "No happiness without love, mother." "None, my son." Her voice is broken by the tears which are running down her old face. There is no happiness without love. and she "hat! tasted it, this little pale old mother of mine, and she lived now on the memory, sucking honey out of the past. And in the midst of these thoughts comes the remembrance of a frown on a woman's face, and the cold touch of a dead hand. Vainly do I try to shake it off. "How Ortl were you, mother, when you first saw father?" "I was a little girl in pinafores, my I control myself as well as t t s i abla, tjafl .Sisy-•"•*•-' "No, I have not hoard.

She has no mind that I shall step in the way of the richer man. "A jfeittlf ;an, you say, mother?" "One 'with plenty of money, anyways." "Who is this gentleman, may I ask?" "You muit know him, Amos.

I intend only to think this, my questions being put so as to lead up to the point; but the words came out without my having anything to do with it, as it seems. From this moment I am conscious that my mother is watching me in a secret way. Well, what have I toj*>nceal? "Who was a t ' Mabel's house tonight?" she presently asks. "No one but Mabel and her mother," I answer. "Wasnt any one else expected?" ••Not that I know of.M It occurs to me that my mother has a purpose in turning mjr thoughts in this new direction, and ^question her concerning i t She answers me in a roundabout way. Mabel's face; I gase upon the shells, "He is often at Mabel's house, and I and I see the tokens of a dead man's! thought he would ho sure te be there tonight" "He! Who?" "Have you not heard," she says, with a quaver in her voice, "that a gentleman is keeping company with Mabel?" She keeps her face purposely turned from me, and she therefore does not see the hot blood that rises to mine, almost blinding me. But this much having been said, more must follow. CHAPTER V. HE ugly, thin, inquisitive face that I have seen but once, many years ago, appears again b e f o r e me; the bony fingers again m a k e themselves, f e l t w i t h i n my palm. It seems but yesterday that they lay there. I spit upon my palm to rub off the fancied contact. H[£ offered to lend me money, this man, and doubtless has made more by "turning it over," as he said. Therefore my mother calls him a gentleman. "Mr. Druce," I ask, "keeps his loanoffice still?" "Yes, and is quite a rich man. All the neighbors borrow of him. They pay him back a little at a time every w e e k . " ""••" "You owe him nothing, I hope?" "No, my son; I manage without, though 'tis a hard pinch." "J make it as easy for you as I can, mother," I say, sternly. "It would be harder the other way. All that I have is yours. You'll promise me never to lay yourself under an obligation to that man?" ( promise you, my son," she replies, in a tone made piteous by my sternness. "Do you ?hlnk," I say, following out the direction of my thoughts, "that Mabel's mother owes him money?" "It is likely, my son." "And has Mabel herself spoken to you about It?" "No, my son." "Has she not spoken to you about Mr. Druce?" "She has never mentioned his name to me, Amos." This comforts me somewhat. If a girl is about to be married, and her heart is in the match, she would surely speak of it to such a friend as my mother was to Mabel. How do I work out the sum,, then? In this way: Mabel's mother favors the match; Mabel herself wishes to avoid I t I follow out the current of my musings. "Do you like Mabei's mother?" "I've seen her but a few times altogether, Amos. I doubt there's no love lost between us. She is a c o l l woman." "Mabel is the same to you as ever, mother?" 'My son," says my mother, with a touch of rough wisdom which no polishing can improve, "an old woman and a child go together; they fit in with one another naturally. But when the ehitd grows into a woman herself, it is different; other notions come into her head—notions of courting and mar* riage. Then there's room for naught else." "Mabel is the soul of truth," I say. "Mabel's heart is as good as gold." . "Ay," repeats my mother In a peculiar tone, "as good as gold."

ANDREWS, EDITOK, ASSOCIATE EDITOR. THURSDAY, MAR. 4, 1897. * # FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF Jta^AND MBS. GEO. W. BROWS HELD AT THEIR HOME IN E4ST i PUTNAM, THUBJiDAV, FJJB. 35, 1897. Over 100 Guests Were Present and a Very Enjoyable Time WM Spent. As our personal lives are measured by our years, so are the annals of a community, or a family, by events. Births, marriages and anniversaries are like mile-stones, which we look for along our jourL ^ney and remember specifically after we have passed. The happenings of every day life often fade away like tlie twilight of the Succeeding days, but never the occasions which bring families and friends together for congratulation and celebration. Such an occasion as this was the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary on Thursday, Feb. 25, 1897, of the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Brown of East Putnam. Golden weddings are rare and this was an important event on that aeodunt; but especially so because of tbe rare interest in it on the part of their friends. No one else ever doubted that they had such a host of friends, but they may have been really sur^ prised to find that there were so many and such great, big-hearted ones, for their commodious home was completely filled. And such true friends as they were! How they did wring the hands of the good couple they had known so long and so happily, and how congratulations were showered upon them! If ever good, honest hearts poured out the best that was in them, it was on this occasion. Bare were many present whose hair was shining like silver, or streak«l with its bright lines, but whose goodwishes were as true as gold, who were again youn£ in heart and took as much interest in the event as a boy in his play, prominent among these was Mr. George Hicks, a near and longtime neighbor, whose good soul _ shone through his sparkling eyes ' and whoisentteTveslvere all tingling through-oat tbe day. There were more than one-hundred guests and these included all of the six living children of Mr. and Mrs. G. W, Brown. One came from K*# York City, two from Chicago and the others from t^ieir homes in this state. Among the guests were the following: G. P. Brown, New York City. Mi. and Mrs. D. M.

And others had been weakened by long sea-sickness. ' Oh, what will become of them? "Take that piece of a rudder," says Paul to one. "Take that fragment of a spar," says Paul to another.

You may get all your difficulties Bettied as Garibaldi, the magnetic Italian, tot his gardens mads. When the war between Austria and Sardinia broke out he was llrlnsj at Caprera, a very rough and uncultivated island home. But he went forth with his sword to achieve the liberation of Naples and Sicily, and gave nine million people free government, under Victor Emmanuel. Garibaldi, after being absent two years from Caprera, returned, and, when he approached it, he found that hla home had, by Victor Emmanuel, as a surprise, been Edenissd. Trimmed shrubbery bad taken the platee of thorny thickets, gardens the place of barrenness, and the old rookery in which he once lived had given way to a pictured mansion. And I tell you if you will come and enlist under the banner of our Victor Emmanuel, and follow him through thick and thin, and fight his battles, and endure bis sacrifices, you will find after awhile that he has changed your heart from a jungle of thorny scepticisms into a garden alt abloom with luxuriant joy that you have never dreamt of.

The steamship Knickerbocker, of the Cromwell line, running between Now Orleans and New York, was In great storms, and the captain and crew saw the schooner Mary D. Cranmer, of Philadelphia, in distress. The weather cold, the waves mountain high, the first officer of the steamship and four men put out in a lifeboat to save the crew of the schooner, and reached the vessel and towed it out of danger, the wind shifting so that the schooner was saved. But the five men of the steamship coming back, their boat capaised, yet righted again and came on, the sailors coated with tee. The boat capsized again, and three times upset and was righted, and a line thrown the poor fellows,, but their hands were frozen so they could not grasp it, and a great wave rolled over them, and they went down, never to rise again till the sea gives up its dead. Appreciate that heroism and self-sacrifice of the brave fellows all who can, and can we not appreciate the Christ who put out into a more dom of God because thef^eannot be Oeve everything. '> i am talking with a man thoughtful about his soul who has lately traveled through New England and passed tbe nlaht at Andover. He says to me: "I troveit it, although I must say that for such a miserable heaven I have no admiration. But the Bible does not say: "Believe in perdition and be saved." Because all are saved, according to your theory, that ought not to keep you from loving and serving Christ. Do not refuse to come ashore because all the others, according to your theory, are going to get ashore. You may have a different theory about chemistry, about astronomy,. about the atmosphere from that which others adopt, but you are not, therefore* hindered from action. Because your theory of light is different from others, do not refuse to open your eyes. Because your theory of air is different you do not refuse to breathe. Because your theory about the stellar system is different, you do not refuse^ to acknowledge the north star. Why should the fact that your theological theories are different hinder you from acting upon what you know? If you have not a whole ship fastened in the theological drydocks to bring you to wharfage, you have at least a plank. "Some on broken pieces of the ship." "But I don't believe in revlvais!" Then go to your room, and all alone, with your door locked, give your heart to God, and join some church where the thermometer never gets higher than fifty in the shade.

The powers addressed a collective note, originating with Germany, to Greece demanding the withdrawal of her naval and military forces from the island of Crete within 48 hours, failing which,' the port of Piraeus (Athens) would be blockaded and general hostilities commence. Later however the scheme was vetoed by Great Britain, and there is little prospect of its being adopted.

OWEN MEREDITH'S POETRY. 0 « F<M*M»td PMitlon »od Humor, the Hi*h«»t UtuUlttc* o* (.iterator*. The volume of enjoyment which a poet provide* ought not to be overlooked; and we have, perhaps, of late year*, been a little prone to underestimate Jn poetry the quality of readableness, says the Forum. "Chronicle* and Characters," the "Fables," "Alter Paradise" and "King Poppy" are books that one can read and reread—which is very much more than can be said of some poems which have taken rank apparently once for all as "great." And yet in parts of these, continually —etlll more In the best things of "The Wanderer" and "Marah"—the poet Is not in the very slightest degree a mere axnuseur. On the contrary! Owen Meredith possessed and was able to express, not very seldom with intensity, very often with more than adequate success, two of the highest qualities or functions of literature—two, moreover, the conjunction of which in poetry is of the rarest. The poet who has neither passion nor humor is in a sufficiently parlous state, though sometimes, as in the famous case of Wordsworth, he may attain the heights to which be oannot soar on these two wings by arduous pedestrian labor up steep mountain byways of thought and observation. The poet who has passion only is constantly liable to become extravagant or ridiculous, conventional or saugrenu, The poet who has humor* only is scarcely conceivable; for. vnouga passion untofftmatet/ may, asa frequently does adafe'without humor, humor, by the vary terms of any valid definition of it, arVafrs implies passioa in the background. Bat when a ma* can show in verse that he has both humor and paaslon, it will go hard, very hard, indeed, but he will be saved. And it cannot go hard with him wbe in his last and moat mature work held out to us, as presents from the grave, "King Poppy" in one hand and "Marah" in the other. ^ BITS OP KNOWLEDGE.

THOMAS Mei'LARY. Rev. Thomas McClary of Minneapolis Minnesota, delivered one of bis world wide, famous lectures, on that great subject which so many lecturers are at present, drawing hundreds and hundreds of people to their hearing, "^unsbine." The weather was very inclament, but Mr. McClary having been before the people at this place before, many could not miss tb^s opportunity which they felt might not again appear in their way. Taking the weather into consideration, Mr. McClary was greeted by a large audience, and he at once drew their closest attention, and delivered to his bearers one of the-best and most striking lectures ever listened to, on the citizens lecture course. His subject in full was, "Sunshine in Labor" and he told howjnany-a person had been deprived of that great happiness, 'sunshine* simply because they chose to look on the wrong side of this life. He illustrated bow people might work all their lives and still be the happiest people on earth. It is not always the people that are the richest that find the most happiness in life. No matter what may come in their way, they should always look on the bright side of life and if they are blessed with that great happiness, health, which may come to mankind, tbey are not only the happiest people on earth, but are a hundred times richer than those who are deprived of such. This being the last lecture on the citizen? course for 1896-7, many attended especially on thai account. There can possibly be no fault to find in any wag with the committee as every man has appealed on4h*. ^tore- ! said date with the exception of one, J was unavoidable and tne committee | were in no wise to blame.

Our annual village election which was held last Monday Mareh 8th, 1897 passed off very quietly, with little or no excitement. There was only one ticket in the field, that being the union, and many people thought it unnecessary to vote._ However there were 82 ballots cast ten being thrown out, which made 72 tickets that were all right. The whole ticket was elected, with the whole majority of each, except one trustee. Parties put up the name of Frank D. Johnson on a stump, against C. L. Grimes, but wa* defeated by a majority of twelve votes. fu- G. W. Teeple returned to Lansing last Monday night. Mrs. A. Mclotyre is visiting her sister at Hamburg. HAVE WON THE DAY.

The Judge issued an injunction restraining the strikers from interfer-' ence with the company's property, hut refused to enjoin them f f o n the right to use proper persuasion in getting men who have taken their places, to quit work. The strikers formed a strong organization and have the sympathy of the citizens. Large quantities of Hour, pork and other provision^, were given liberally to aid them.

The sugar beet bounty bjll was passed by the House ftftyr a hot fight in 6dmmittee of'th^' whole, aud It is thought there are good prospects of its becointng a law. The bill provides that the btate shall pay to Michigan manufacturer* of beet sugar, made from beets grown in Michigan, a •bbxintv-of 1 cent per'pound, provided that the beets shall be bought from Michigan farmers at the rate of $4 per ton. The principal opposition to the measure was because.the total amount of bounty to be paid was not limited. The fight of the previous day making a special order for the consideration of railroad legislation on April 13 was renewed and Rep. Atkinson succeeded in having it passed. Two resolutions for an,adjournment of a week to take in the inuugural ceremonies of President McKinley were presented to the House and both were tabled. The only other measures passed by the House, besides a few of merely local importance were these: (H. B. 285) reviving the corporate existence of#lack water companies fpr improvement of navigable rivers; (H. B. 104) for the compensation of county agents'for visiting the children of reformatories who are farmed o u t In the Senate the principal event was the passage by a vote of 35 to 3 of the bill to prohibit the coloring of oleomargerlne and other imitations of butter. A concurrent resolution appropriating $7,500 for a Michigan exhibit at the Tennessee exposition was left in the air by first being passed and then reconsidered. Senator Bostwick offered a resolution condensing the murder of Dr. Ruiz by the Spaniards in Cuba, but it was tabled. The following bills were passed by the Senate: (S. B. 24) for the equipment of laundry and electric lightning- plant for the eastern Michigan asylum at Pontiac; (S. B. 103) for the incorporation of national societies of Colonial Dames of America in Michigan; (S. B. 87) for the care and use of the Abbott voting machines. After spending a Sunday at home among their constituents the legislators returned to Lansing well convinced that the tax payers did npt like the idea of the legislature adjourning for a week to take a junket to President McKinley's inauguration^ Consequently it was allowed to drop. Nevertheless, arrangements having been made for Gov. Pingree and his military staff and a number of state officials to take the trip, about 15 or 30 members of the House and several Senators decided to attend the inaugural with the governor's party.

As soon as it was discovered, it was been that the local fire department could not cope with the fire, and help was asked for from Ishpemng. A company promptly responded or the loss would . have been much greater as the wind . was blowing half a gale at the time. The losses are: C. F / Sundstrom. $9,000; H. J. Atkinson, $3,000; J.

SnWATE.—60th day.—With the U r g est number of members that has- attended a session in a Umg time' the Senate held a Sunday st'&feion in order to push the appropriation bills through. The sundry( civil bill was uuder consideration, a number of important Items in payment of sugar bounties, for rivers and harbors, etc., retaining to be passed upon. The sugar bounty amendment was ajrreed to, 37 to Vi. The amendment appropriates 11,085,- 156 for the balance of bounties earned from August 1894, to June, 1895. The river and harbor items were next Htata Baae Ball The Michigan State Base Ball league was reorganized on a substantial basis at a meeting at Detroit W. ELMumby, of Corunna, who filled a similar position in the old state league two years ago, was chosen president secretary and treasurer.

A rolling log crushed the life o a t of Nelson Beane at Grand Marias hay, near Seney. farm home of f a , Ohriaty i n township, OaJhonn county, devoured by hungry TsMtgWlia ported. The bill carried the unprecedented total of $51,000,000, of which $17,000,000 was for rivers and harbors contracts and Senator Gorman, of Maryland, made an earnest speech, pointing out the enormous total of the Dill and urging that it be not loaded dojrn with new river and harbor items. Senator Hill, of New York, took occasion to chaff the Senate on working on Sunday that i t involved a debate on electric light conduits in. Washington and t h a t the Senator (McMillan, of Michigan,) who' urged this conduit amendment had himself offered a bill "to protect the first day of the week, commonly called Sunday, as a day of rest and worship." The amendment providing 4or a commission to visl£ the Alaska seal fisheries caused further debate which turned upon the treaty relative to the arbitration of the Alaskan boundary recently sent to the Senate by the President Senator Morgan, who was a member of the Paris seal arbitration tribunal, said that as usual w h e n the court was made up of European arbitrators, the decision was against us; it always would be so under like circumstances. There was more real danger of trouble over this seal question since the. arbitration than there ever was before arbitration was adopted, owing to the deliberate refusal of Great Britain to carry out In good faith the spirit of the Paris award. The amendment continuing the seal investigation w a s agreed to. The Senate, by a unanimous vote, then added an amendment counteracting the President's recent order withdrawing 31,- 000,000 acres of land from the public domain and establishing it as forest reserves. The bill was theto passed. HOUSE—No session. SENATE—61st day—Sensational Seuator Tillman created a stir during the consideration of the naval appropriation bill. The recommendation of the committee that the price of armor plate be fixed a t $400 per ton was being discussed and . Senators Hawley and. Squire had spoken against Senator Chandler's amendment to reduce the price to $300 a ton, and Senator Elkins had complained of the lack of information on the cost of making armor plate, when Senator Tillman took the floor. He charged that the armor plate manufacturers had their paid agents in the Senate who were robbing the government. The charge was resented by Senator Hawley, whereupon Mr. Tillman replied that "the galled jade winces,'' and it looked for a time as though a personal conflict was imminent, until Mr. Hawley was escorted to the cloak room by his friends. The Chandler amendment was adopted, but an amendment to authorize the secretary of the navy to establish a government armor plate factory at a coat of $1,500,000 if he failed to make contracts at $300 was lost The naval bill was not passed until midnight The President sent to the Senate correspondence relating to American citizens arrested in Cnba. HOUSE—Almost the entire, day was spent in dull routine work until the bill t o prohibit the transmission of detailed accounts of prize fights by mail or telegraph was brought up. This led to a very lively skirmish in which prize fighting was denounced on all sides, but the bill met with most strenuous opposition on t h e ground that it would tend to establish a censorship of the press. No action was taken. The sundry civil and postofSce appropriation bills were sent to conference. A biU was passed t o provide for the transmission to Washington of presidential election returns by mail and to abolish the present system of messengers. &KJEA2E=dl3jLday—The bill for an international monetary conference was taken up and after two hours of animated debate the House amendments were agreed to without the formality of a yea and nav. vote. This is the final legislative stage of the bill; and i t now goes t o the President The killed by falling rock ia the Calumet * Hectemine. Mrs. M. R.

After debate the amendment prevailed without division and the deficiency appropriation bill then passed.

A conference report on the District of Columbia appropriation bill was the first business presented. The report wai ntgreed to aud .a furttter conference or dei'sd on thafc and the, sundry civil and Indian appropriation bills. The first lute resting proceeding of the day waa u discussion of the naval appropriation bilL The House had yielded to all oi the Senate amendments, but those relating to torpedo boats and $300 pei ton for armor plate.. Senators Chandler, Tillman and Gorman got Into a squabble over these, but they were returned for further conference. A message from the House reported the passage of the immigration bill over the President's veto. The veto message was read* and without comment was referred to the committee on immigration. A large number of unimportant bills passed, by the House, to which there were no objections, were then passed. An attempt was made to pass t h e snti-scalplug bill, but the Senate wanted nothing to block the appropriations and it was therefore brushed aside., The general deficiency and the fortifications bills were received from conference and agreed to. When the news was received tb>t the House had concurred in the Senate amendment making the cost of armor plate $300 per ton, Senator Quay commenced filibustering tactics to stop all business unless a compromise satisfactory to him was made, raising t h e price of armor plate, but the Senate overpowered him aud after agreeing to the conference report on the naval bill took up the reports of the sundry civil, the District of Columbia and the Indian appropriation bills and agreed to all three by sticking to it until 3 a . m . HOUSE—The House began work at 10 a. m. after having been In session until 3 a. m. the previous night. Of course the most interesting feature of the day was the action taken upon President Cleveland's veto of the immigration bill. Very little time was lost on it, but by the tremendous majority of 193 to 37 the House voted to override the veto. There were several sharp skirmishes over the appropriation bills, but the chair men of the committees in charge of the bills held their own and step by step advanced their bills to the final stages. First in order came the Indian bilL The action of the House conferrees in accepting a Senate amendment to detach from Oklahoma the Osage and Kansas Indian reservations and attach them to the Indian Territory aroused the fierce opposition of Mr. Flyun, the Oklahoma delegate, and the bill was ordered back to conference, with the res ult that later the Senate receded from the obnoxious amendment The general deficiency bill was sent to conference under suspension of the rules. Partial conference reports were received fromtime to time and disposed of. The Senate amendment to reduce the price of armor plate to $300 a ton was accepted, and then all the'other differences on the naval bill were wiped out and the House was through with that bilL The postoffice and fortifications bills were reported in order and agreed to. SKXATE—64th day—The closing day of the Fifty-fourth congress found the Senate with decks almost cleared. All of the appropriation bills were passed excepting the general deficiency bill which was allowed to go orer. The bill was passed providing fores labor commissioner to investigate the condition and needs of labor and report within two years. No action was taken on the President's veto of the immigration bilL Vice-President Stevenson temporarily surrendered his chair to Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts, when a resolution was offered by Mr. Morrill, of- Vermont, and was-unanimously adopted, tendering to the vicepresident the thanks of the Senate for the dignified, impartial and courteous manner in which be had presided over its deliberations. *A resolution to the same effect was offered by Mr. Faulkner, of West Virginiar thanking Mr. Fry, of Maine, as president pro tern, the terms used being "courteous, dignified and,able." Senators Hoar, of Massachusetts, and Brioe, of Ohio, were appointed to notify the President of their readiness to adjourn unless he had some further communications t o maker -^Atr 12rt5 Mr. Hoar reported that the committee had been requested by the President to extend his congratulations to congress and the country and to say that he had no further communications to make.

The country Is sufter »ng Worn- industrial disturbances from which speedy relief ,must be, had. Our financial system'*heeds no revision; our money .a all good now, but Its value must net further be threatened. It should all be put on an enduring basis, not subject to ta»y attack, nor its Btablllty to doubt or dispute.. Our currency should continue under the supervision Of the government. The several forms of our pupe;* money, offer, in my judgment, a i-oritfUiNt embarrassment to the government ;ind a safe bnlance ih the treasury. Therefore, I believe it necessary to devise a system which, without diminishing the oirr- latins medium, or offering a prem ium ior its contraction, ' will present a remedy for those arrangements which, unviorary in their nature, might well In the years of our prosperity have been dlfl- ;»l:i<v<'. by wiser provisions. " : t h adequate revenue secured, but not until then, we can enter upon such charges in our laws as will . while ensuring safety and volume to uur money, no longer impose upon the government the necessity of maintaining so large a gold reserve, with its attendant and Inevitable :emptjtMona to siK-culatlon. Most of our .!fau'-:;il laws are the outgrowth of ex- ' )<'.K..(f and trial, and-should not be me :rf.d withoit investigation, and de- •rj;,:;atlon of the wisdom of the pro- ;ji-!*cd i':I:aiJt.ea. •*!,• DIU^L .^.- ...... .'.ve r.re rignt,' -., j "make haste slowly.

The experiment is. at ull eventB, worth a trial, and in my opinion it-can but prove beneficial to the entire country. The oueptir <->*• In* ••'""«'•' ll*m will have early and earnest attention. it will be m.. ,ui.s.... '•ure jt by co-o;>eratie!; great common:'1 ntii that condition is realised, when the parity between our goiu «..^ ^. springs from and is supported by the relative value of the two metals and the value of (he silver already coined, and of .that which may hereafter be coined, must be kept constantly' at par with gold by every resource at our command. The credit of the government, the integrity of its currency, and the inviplability of Its obligations must be preserved. This was the commanding verdict of the people, and it will not be unheeded. Kconomy is demanded In every branch of the government at all times but especially in periods like the present of degression in business and distress among •he people. The severest economy must be observed in all public expenditures, and extravagance stopped whenever it is found, and prevented wherever In the future it may be developed. If the revenues are to remain as now, the only relief that can come must be from decreased expenditures. But the nreaent must not become the permanent condition of the government. It has been our uniform practice to retire, not Increase our outstanding obligations, and this policy must again be resumed and vigorously enforced. Our revenues should always have been large enough to meet with ease and promptness not only our current needs and the principal and Interest of the public debt, but to make proper and liberal provision for that most deserving body of public creditors, the soldiers and sailors, and the widows and orphans who are the pensioners of the United States. The government should not be permitted to run behind oTTBcrease Its debt, in times like the present. Suitably to provide against this Is the mandate of duty. A deficiency is Inevitable so Tong as t*e expenditures .of the government exceeds its receipts. It can only be met by loans, <er an Increased revenue. While a large annual surplus of revenue may invite waste and extravagance, Inadequate revenue creates distrust and undermines public and private credit. Neither should h» <encouraged. Between more loans and more revenue, there ought to be but one opinion. We should have » tor* revenue and that without delay, hindrance, or postponement. A surplus In the treasury created by loans is not a permanent or safe reliance. It will suffice while it lasts, but H eannot last long while the outlays of the government are greater than its receipts, as has been the case during the past two years. Nor must It be forgotten, however, much such loans may tem*- poraruy relieve the situation, the government is still indebted for the amount of the surplus thus accrued, which it must ultimately pay, while its ability to pay is not strengthened, but weakened by a continued deficit. Loans are Imperative In great eawergencte* 1* preserve the government or Its credit* but a failure to. supply needed revenue In time of peace for the. maintenance of either has no justification. • — T h e beet way-for~~the government to 'maintain its credit, is to pay a s it goes— gtot by resorting to loans, but by keeping eC debt—through an adequate income ' a system of taxation external or both.

The people have declared that such legislation should be had as will give ample protection and encouragement' to the industries and the development. o( our country. It Is therefore earnestly hoped and expecjed that congress will,.at the earliest practical mo* ment, enact revenue legislation that shall be fair, reasonable^, conservative and hist, and which, while supplying sufficient revenue for public purposes, will itilj be signally beneficial una helpful to every section and every enterprise of the people. To this policy, we are all, of whatever party, nrmly bound by the voice of ihe people—a pcuver vastly more potential than the expression of any political platform. The paramount duty of congress is to -•-.n rfftfleiereies by the restoration of that protective legislation which has always u«*n th« firmest prop of the treasury. The passage of such a law or laws would strengthen the credit of the government both at home and abrokd, and go far towards stopping the drain upon the gold reserve held for the redemption of our currency, which has been heavy and well night constant for several years. In the revision of tho tariff, especial attention should be given to the re-enactment and extension of the reciprocity principle of the law of 1890, under which so great a stimulus was given to our foreign trade In new arjd advantageous markets, . for our surplus agricultural and manufactured products. The br4ef ^rjal given this ieirfslatlori amply' JuatifiQg a fiirtfcer experiment and additional- dtscrer Monary power in the.\maklng'0.f cnauner- "H»I -treaties*, the end in view always to be the opening up of new markets far the .,1 ouuets of our country, by granting concessions to the products of other lands that. we- need and connot produce our* selves, and which do not involve any loss of labor to our own people, but tend to increase their employment. The depression of the past four years has fallen with especial severity upon the great body of toilers of the country, and upon none more than the.holders ot Kmall farms. Agriculture has languished and labor suffered. The revival of manufacturing will be a relief to both. No por- 'ion of our population is more (\oy^tf\ t-> the Institutions of free government npr more loyal to their support, while none beurs more cheerfully its full chare In tin maintenance of the government or is better entitled to its wise and liberal care and protection. Legislation heli'ul *• producers Is beneficial to all. The depressed condition of industry on ihe farm and in the mine and factory has lessened the ability of the peepje to meet the demands upon them and they rightfully expect that not only a system of revenue •shall be established that will secure the 'argest income with the least burden, but that every means will be taken to de- •reare rather than increase, our pubile expenditures. Business conditions are not the most promising. It will lake time to restore 'he prosperity of former vears. 1* w » cannot promptly^attaln it, we can resolutely tupn our faces in that direction an-) aid itB return by friendly legislation. However troublesome the situation may hnpear, congress w1H r<~t. I «m -7^. h« 'ound. lacking In disposition or ability to relieve it, as far as legislation cxr> ao se. The restoration of confidence and the revival of business which men of all parties so much desire, depend more largely upon the prompt, energetic and Intelligent action of congress, than, upon any other single agency affecting the situation. It i> inspiring; too, to remember that no srea'i emergency in the one hundred and ei«Jit years, of our eventful national life hs« ever arisen, that has not been met with wisdom and courage by the America" people, with fidelity to their best Interestsand highest-destiny, and to the honor of the American name.

Immunity should be granted to none who violate the laws, whether individuals. corporations, ov communities, and as the consult mi-" ii^- noses upon the President the duty of both its own ex^oution and of the statutes enacted in pursuance of its provisions, r shall endeavor carefully to carry them into effect. The declaration of the party now restored to cower, has been in the past that of "opposition to all combinations of capital organised In trusts or otherwise to control arbitrarily the condition of trade among our citixens," and it has supper*-, ed "such legislation as will prevent the execution of all schemes to oppress the people of undue charges on their supplies, or by unjust rates for the transportation of their products to market."

We want no ware of conquest; we musjt avoid the temptation of .territorial aggression.' A ! twar should never be entered upon until every agency of peace has failed; peace Is preferable to-war in almost every con-' rtingeney. Arbitratlon«ls the true method of set- 1 'tlement of international as well as local or individual differences. It was recog-;j nized as the best meaits of adjustment of | differences between employers and em- 1 ploye by the forty-ninth congress, in 1886, >\ and its application was extended to our diplomatic relations by the unanimoM» foneurrenee of the senate and house of ihe iifty-first eonaress in 1890. The latter resolution was accepted as the basis ^of •negotiations with us by the British house I of opmmons in 1893, and upon our invita- ' lion a treaty of arbitration between the \ United Spates and Great Britain was ! signed at Washington and transmitted to I (he senate for its ratification in January-4- tast. Since this treaty 1B the result "of j our own initiative; since It has been recognized as the leading feature of our for- ! eign policy* throughout our entire national t history—the adjustment of d.mculties by , Judicial methods rather than by force of ' arms—and since It presents to the wo^ld ' the glorious example of reason and peace, t net passion and war, -^-trolling the re- | latione between two of the greatest na- j tlons of the world, an exampft certain to 1 be followed by others, I respectfully urge the. early action of the senate thereon, not merely.as a matter of policy, but as a duty to mankind. The importance and moral influence of the ratification of such a treaty can hardly be overestimated in the cause of advancing civilization. It i may well engage the best thought of the ] statesmen and people of every country, I and I cannpt but consider it fortunate that It was reserved to the United States to have the leadership in so grand a work. It has been the uniform practice to avoid as far as possible the convening of congress in extraordinary session. It Is an example which, under ordinary circumstances and In the absence of a public necessity, is to be commended. But a [ failure to convene the representatives o* tiie people In congress in extra session : .when It involves neglect of a public duty, j places the responsibility of such neglect upon the executive himself. The con- 1 ilitlon of the public treasury, as has been : indicated-, demands the immediate, consideration of congress. It alone has the power to provide revenues for the government. Not to convene It under such circumstances I can view in no other sense than the neglect of a plain duty. I do not sympathize with the sentiment that congress in session is dangerous to our general business interest. Its members .ire the agents of the people, and their presence ar» the seat of government ,in the execution of the sovereign will should not operate as an Injury but a benefit. There could be no better time to put the government upon a sound financial and economical hauls than nuw.—The people "An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure/' Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup prevent* consumption by curing colds. ,.fcnd a*U ^mflir lung troubles' ' ' ( • * • • "A good.shape lain a shear's mouth" and a good fit Is all fa the needle's eye.. -- Eczema of the scalp, or Scald Head, e v e n in ita most severe form is neverf a i l i n g l y cured by Doan's Ointment, t h e surest specific for all itehiness of t h e akin.

As a member of ooogreae I spoke and voted In favor of the present lew. and I shall attempt its enforcement in the spirit in which It was enacted. The purpose m view was to secure the moat efficient service of the best men who would accept appointment under the government, retaining faithful aad devoted public servants in office, but shielding none, under the authority of any rule-or csetom, who are Inefficient, incompetent or unworthy. The best interests of the country demand this, and the people, heartily approve the law wherever and whenever It has been . itrofHntrprmclple ta the nikinsr of "rev- I thus administered -enue from duties en imports teethe e e a l - t Congress should give prompt attention > nave only recently voted that this should be done, and nothing is more binding upon the agents of their will than the obligation of immediate action. It ha^ always seemed to me that the postponement of the meeting of congress unttl more than a year after it has been chosen, deprived congress too often of .the inspiration of the popular will, and the country of the corresponding benefits. It Is evident, therefore, that to postpone miction in the presence of so great a necessity would be unwise on the part of the exeentive, because unjust to the interests of the people. Our action will now be freer from mere partisan consideration than if the question of tariff revision was postponed until the regular session of congress. • We are nearly two years from a congressional election! and politics cannot so greatly distract us as if such contest was immediately pending. We can approach the problem calmly and patriotically without fearing its effect upon an early election. Our fellow citizens who may disagree with us upon the character of this legislation prefer to have the question settled now, even against the preconceived views—and perhaps settled so reasonably as I trust and believe it will, as to Insure great permanence—than to have further uncertainty menacing the vast and varied business interests of the United States. Again, whatever action congress may take will be given a fair opportunity for trial before the people are called to pass judgment upon it, and this I consider a great essential to the right- <"u,l and lasting settlement of the Question. In view of these considerations I shall deem it my duty, as President, to convene congress in extraordinary session on Monday, me fifteenth day of March, 1897. In 'conclusion, I congratulate the country upon the fraternal spirit of the people, and the manifestations of good will everywhere so apparent. Ttte recent election not only most .fortunately demonstrated the obliteration of sectional or geographical lines, but to some extent also the prejudices which for years have distracted our councils «• and marred our true greatness as ~a~~na'tton: The triumph of tHe people, whose verdict is carried into effect to-day Is not the triumph of one section nor wholly of one party, bat of all sections and all the people. The north and the south no longer divide on the old • lines, but on principles and politics; and in this fact surely every lover of the country can find cause for true teUeltation. Let us rejoice In and elevate this spirit; it is ennobling and win be both a ^ain and. I t will be my constant aim to do nothing, and permit nothing to be done, that will arrest or disturb thlp growing sendment of unity and co-operation, this revival of esteem and aJsUetiett which new animates so many tho<tsan4e In hath the old antagnolsUc iectlona. but T shall cheerfully do everything possible to promote and increase It. L*t me again repeat the words of the oath administered by the chief justice, which. In their respective spheres, so far as applicable, I would have all my countrymen observe: "I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and win, to the beet of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the United States." This & the obligation I have reverently taken before the Lord most. high. To keep it will be my single purpose, say constant orayer—and I shall confidently rary upon the forbearance and assistance of all the ' neoplc In the dicharge of my reeponslbHttlee.

"Several years ago, while in Fort Snelling, Minn., I caught a severe cold, attended with a terrible cough, that allowed me no rest day or night. The doctors after exhausting their remedies, pronounced'my case hopeless, saying they could do no more for me. At this time a bottle of AYER'S Cherry Pectoral was ^ arent to me by a friend who urged me to take it, which I did, and soon after I was greatly relieved, and in a short time was completely cured. I have never had much of a cough since that time, and I firmly believe Ayerjs Cherry Pectoral saved my life.'*-^Wr-IL WAIID, 8 Quimby A v., Lowell, Mass.

The legislature of this «tuU>t with the greatest unauimity, and without party division, have.determined to atziend t h e constitution of Michigan, by giving t h e attorney general a salary for the great and important services that he renders #ie state. The question now is, will the voters ratify and approve of that which their representatives have done? I t is safe to say that there has not been a legislature assembled a b the capitol in the last twentyfive years that would not, with an < almost unanimous vote, have given the attorney general a larger salary than that which is now named in t h e proposed amendment, for the simple reason that they, being on t h e ground, ascertained the true tacfcs of t h e case, and from those facts they are convinced that, net only does t h e interests of t h e state imperatively require the constant and best service of a most able attorney, b u t that by giving him a livingsalary, thousands of dollars would be saved to the state each year. The question now is, as to whether the yoters of this state can see what is for their interests and vote accordingly. T h e single proposition that is submitted to tfffcm is this: To compel the lawyer who becomes attorney general to take up his residence, during his term of office, at t h e seat of government and give all of his time a u d strength to the duties of his office, and as compensation for such services, the state agrees to pay him the sum of $3,50(), which is just one-half of that which each member of the supreme court receives, $2,600 less tli an is paid each of the six judges of Wayne county, and $1,500 less than the prosequi* iug attorney of Wayne county and corporation counsel of Detroit refceive, respectively,, for their serv i c e s yearly. Or, if this is n o t done, then the voters must decide _fco let the matter ffo on aB it has eucroacbmt*ats, i n l i i b t e d l y , have beeu made upon th^ir rights, by thoee who, fi-udiu^ t!iu field uupro teoted, have entered iu and taken possession thceof. I t is time, as Gov. iiich, in one of his messages to the legislature, said: " B y paying the attorney geueral the insijjnifichut hum of 1800 p er year ( t h » antne that is paid janitors aud mesengers,) the state i s losing enough each year to pay a rea son able salary to four attorney generals, through lack of paying a fair compensation to one." How long will the voters of Mich ig«n "save at the spigot and wast*v at the b*unghole?" F L Y I N G C H I P S . Men never like gloomy or cynical women. Never offer a looking glass to a blind man. The sin of a moment may blight the i whole lite. ' Woman's' most fascinating charm Is naturalness. Falsehood may have its hour, but It has no future. Good advice is a poor thing for a hungry family. To give and grudge is no better than not to give at all. Men who strike in their anger usually miss the mark. > All the world will beat the man whom fortune buffets. The little things overlooked rob our lives of Joyful strength. He that waits for dead men's shoes may long go barefoot. You can walk all over a woman if you only wear patent leathers. Lightning rarely strikes twice in the same place. It isn't necessary. Give your money to fools sooner than let rogues wheedle you out of it. Vanity makes us do more things against inclination than, reason. When a man's coat is threadbare It is an easy thing to pick a hole in it. Never say die until you are dead, and then it is no use, so let it alone. . Stirring: Events are «t h u d . Yon will want the very h H 4 news the aort accurate reports to be ohtalned.

CHAP1EK y.-(CoMT«roin.) My way then is clear, and I tell her that if she had'not so assured me, I «hould not have had the courage to speak further. And so by degrees 1 open my heart to her, and I show her . tha,t the happiness of my life is In her hands. Well, well, what more can I say of this interview? What more than that, to my instable delight. Mabel accepts me as her lover, telling me that she has loved me Lx from obild- , hood, and that, although to* hai never thought'of me In the relation of a husband, she to blessed Mid contented in the prospect of becoming a sailor's wife? We vow to be ever faithful and true, to each other, and I break a srxptfnce'r each taking' half. "I devote my life to you, my darling," X say, as f kits net and hold nur in my arms. "My heart beats forever, and only for you." Many minutes pass In such-like lovers' talk. I thirV that a mother, when she presses her tirat-born to her breast, cannot experience a greater joy than animates me at this time. "When I command a ship," I say, as we walk arm-in-arm toward her house, "I will take care that my wife-shall come out with me—if she cares to ~ome." She says that would be a true delight to her, and says other sweet things which, as she speaks them, are to my heart like the murmuring music of birds. We go toward her house with the intention of acquainting her mother with what has occurred, and I fancy I see her watching us at the window as we walk up tire street; but on our arrival she is not to be found. It is settled between us that Mabel shall break' the news to her, and I walk home. "So, mother," I say, going to'her in he kitchen, where she is making a pudding for dinner, "Mabel wouldn't marry a poor man for love! Of course not, when gold is flung before her eyes! Well, mother, how much gold have I to buy her with?" I draw the oNI woman on my knee, where, if my voice has not already betrayed me—but I am sure it has—she can read the joyful tidings in my bright face and kindling eyes. "Ah, mammy! You didn't know Ma* bel. She is, as I said she was, the soul of truth, and her heart is bettet than gold. She'll be a sailor's wife, as you were, mammy." Does my old mother's face reflect the joy that shines on mine, or is there a cloud of doubt on it? Doubt of what? As to whether I have done right? Away with it! I will have no doubts or shadows. There is no room for them in the sunshine of my life. "Why, mother!" I exclaim. "I cannot tell whether you are pleased or not at the news." "I hope yon have acted wisely, my son," she replies, her lips trembling slightly. A I snap my fingers at the word. Wisely! What lover ever thought of that when «he was opening his heart to the girl of his choice? And, after all. is not love the best kind of wisdom? But I can scarcely understand my odd mother speaking m this way, and if doe* not satisfy me. - "You married for love, mother; why should not Mabel do the same? Come, come; it would hurt me much to think you begrudged me my happiness." "Oh, Amos," ahe cries. "With all my heart and sou] I wish you to bo happy." "Weil, then," I reply, repeating words , thai have been used before, "there » no happiness without Love, and Mabel and I love each other tree, as you and my father did. Don't tell me you doubt Mabel any longer. Too may have had reason for it befomu because of people's foolish tongues! but, now that •he has proved herself better tihaa gold vou have no rifrht to s\i spent ssWtt bo a ienrin* daughter to you, and pa* meat bo to her as good a mother 0 0 1 s t have boon to me* There! therer Wm *m, good old soul had suddenly arms around my neck, and my forgiveaoas If aha has hurt any Mabel is exactly as I have I am over sorty." * sao with malloiouf **»" "No; It didn't come into my head to do to." ^ "Of course it didn't. And that it the way you take advantage of a child— you, a full-frown man, with a hoard as'll soon be white; knowing, too, that she was as good as married to a man as will be able to support her, and make a lady of her." "No man can do that; she is one already." "Thank me for that," she says, with a toss of her head. "I do, heartily. As for the man. name him." "I'sfcalT do nothing of the sort." "I'will, then. Mr Djmce." "A better man than you any day." "That may be. But I know he's'not the man to make Mabel happy." "Hell make her both happy "" and rich," she retorts. "And you step in with your smooth tongue, and spoil her life." "God forbid!" I say, with twinge* of compunction and me and Jealousy. "I'll not stand in the way of her happiness. Call her |n, and if she says now she prefers another I'll bid her goodbye, as is a man's duty." She darts from the room and brings in Mabel, and then there is a scene. The mother wants to have all the talk to herself, and I am too much cast down to stop her; but Mabel does. "Amoa," ehe says, "is it true that you do not love me?" I know by that question that her mother has been working against me secretly. But out of regard for Mabel's peace of mind at home, I repress the hot words that are rushing to my tongue. I answer simply that I love her devotedly, and that I would pour out my heart's blood in her service. I make no reference to the wicked tongue that has maligned me when my back was turned. Then Mabel tells her mother—before my* face, bless her! she tells her—that there's no man in the world she loves like me, and that she haa given her word, and means to abide by it. Her mother's face grows white and sly and she does not reply to Mabel's outburst. So, her breath not being employed to fan the fire, it cools down, and thatv storm is over. Well, I am a little disturbed at the difference in our ages, which I never thought of before Mabel's mother spoke of it. Truly, l am old enough to be her father, though as for my hair getting white, that's a fable—there isn't a gray hair in my head. Still, the twenty-and odd years between me and her are like twenty and odd little imps mocking and pricking me. How I should like to poison some of them, and bury them out of all knowledge! Meeting Mr.i>ruce at this point of my musings, he looks at me as though he would be glad of the opportunity of killing not only my twenty and odd years, but all my other years as well. I am too happy to return his scowl, and he makes an angry motion and passes on. CHAPTER VI. T wanted not a week to Christmas, and in another week from that time I should be bidding my Mabel farewell. It was my lot now to experience the pain thai gives joy. Hitherto I had loft for my duties with a light and willing spirit; now my heart was charged with sadness at the thought of leaving my darling girl. I cannot teH you how I loved her—i cannot tell you what she was "to me. She was more than my life—she was my soul.. In all the world there was but one star for me—Mabel. Through of her love the fair earth bocame fairer, and the gloomiest day was filled with sunshine. It happened at this time that Mabel's mother was summoned suddenly from her home. An only sister, who had lived a hundred miles away, was dying, and called her to her bedside. The was so sodden that I did aot before a*\a JtofL, Going in the _ morning to Mabel's house, I found; her alone, and she told me how her mother oomgeUod to *o almost at a it's "Did she leave a for me?** I "No," repHed Mabel, 'She was so hurried and agitated She scarcely know how to flahm the sentence, so I placed my Angsts on her llpe to save her fnrej Salrianmsas She fart sttore deeply than I any lack of asTeeUoa ia her mother toward sao. "I suppose she wanted you to gs with her Mabel." "Yes; but I *otd J could not leave you, especially a* It was* uncertain when we should return." I knew instinctively that there must have been a sv*ne between the mother and daughter, but I was not the man to question Mabel concerning i t I would not inflict that pain upon my girl. Now, how It came into my mind, or what put it there, it is beyond me to say; but as Christmas drew near, I got it fixed l a me that Mabel and I ought to get married before I went to sea again. The more I thought of it, the more fixed became the idea and the stronger my wish. I was fearful of broaching the subject to Mabel, not knowing how she would receive it in the absence of hep* mother; but an incident which occurred three days after her mother's departure gave me the opportunity and the courage. I had goneXto the docks to see after my ship, expecting to be away until night, when I was to meet Mabel at our Httle cottage of shells. I returned, however, three or four hours sooner than I anticipated, and I went at once to Mabel's house. I heard voices within— one the music of which I well ktiew; the other I scarcely recognised. I opened the door, and, entering, saw Mr. Drue*. He was . standing before •tt*bei;vand had just finished a passionate speech, judging from his position; for as 1 appeared he laid his hand in no light way upon her, and she was striving to wrest herself from his grasp. To see was to act; my blood was boiling furiously. I seised him by the neck and the next moment we were outstOa the house, whither I had dragged hhn, without any effort on my part, and without resistance on his. He was really as a feather in my hands. Being outside, with my hand still grasping him firmly, I twisted his face by force to mine, and looked into his eyes. "You miserable coward!" I said. "That is the wiy you treat defense* less women, is It?" And with my open hand I struck him on his smooth face; then flung him away, He said nothing—not a word. But the glance he gave me was like the sudden darting forth of a serpent's fang —without the active poison. "Put up your hands," I cried; "I'm going to thrash you, or you me!" He put up his hands, and aimed a feeble blow at me. I hit him once, and he fell to the ground, with the color of blood now on his frightened; face. I had_not struck lightly. He wiped the blood away as he rose. I scorned to strike again. Then he spoke. , "Amos Beecroft," he said, "you shall live to learn that this is the worst day's work you have ever done." "Worst or best," I replied, "you have received a lesson I advise you never to forget. Indeed, I think you are not likely to, for I am in hopes I have marked you for life." _ His lip was cut, and l i e scar, I judged, would not be soon effaced. "By what right," he asked, -slowly, "do you step between me and Mabel?" "By the beet of all rights. That young lady is to be my wife." "You are a liar!" he cried, furiously. Mabel was standing at the door, trembling in every limb, and I went to her side and passed my arm around her waist'. He stood before us in silence for full ten seconds; then, with a wicked look, slunk away. "I'll not risk your being insuKed again by that scoundrel," I said to Mabel ''While your mother is absent yon must sleep at our house. It will be safer for you." But her woman's sense saw in this proposal what had not occurred to me. "I can't do that, Amos, until —until—-" "Until what, my darling?" Bright blushes drove the lilies from her cheek. Then I guessed what was in her mind. "Come with me," I said.* "I have something to say to you before my mother." She, locked the door and came with me. "Mother," I said, "it isn't safe for Mabel to sleep i n her own place alone; she has come to stop with me." My' mother nodded. "I shall sleep there instead of her.** I continued, "and Mabel will take my room here for a day or two." "And then, Amos?" said my mother, guessing that I had something more to say. "And then, mother," I rejoined, "Mabel and I will get married. There is no occasion for any one to know hut ourselves. On the day before Christmas wo will go to the registrar's, asm this Christmas shall be the nanpjteat Doing* of the Hunter* 1 The value * of a good telescope or glass was illustrated forcibly to a Maine hunter recently while he was after doer In an open space In the woods that bod bean formed by a fire soma years agoy the hunter had~a tolerabi} clear range, of vision for eighty or one hundred rods acroaa the open, b,u,r, beyond that briars and scrub-growth poplars made it extremely diffleult to see. The hunter sat down on the aide of one ridge anti watched the side of another across a wide gully. He was certain that a der. was on that hillside. After a bit he 9-tw something moving in the bushes xiofcr a big clump of trees that bad escai'Jd the fire, nearly ninety rods away. The something seemed small, and was of a neutral tint, not apt to be observed by a tenderfoot at ail at such a dlstan *. The ft nter*<had a small telescope with hint, one worth about |8. He took it out to look at the moving thing. Instantly he made out the form of a small deur, a doe. He was not after does, however, but he wanted a buck. Instead of folding up the glass* he began to eJ amine the ridge side carefully with it. When his glass turned to a little aldar bed, following the course, of a brook in the gully,'he saw the form of a bix deer through the bushes. When he took down his glass to look at the deer with his barer eyes, he could not see it. He tried several times, and at last succeeded in locating the deer. It was not hard then to wait for the deer to move out, which it did in about an hour, and was dead before it knew a man WM anywhere near. True Teet ef Oyeten. "The best oyster experts that I know of," said the captain of an oyster boat, "judje an oyster by the smell instead of by the taste. There in something about the smell of an oyster that indicates Its condition to me much plainer than does the taste. People buy them and eat them probably on account of their taste. So, also, do they buy tea, coffee and the various grades of whiskey and brandy for their taste, but all experts on those things pass upon them entirely by their smell. The professioi- al tea taster or whiskey taster, sc called, never tastes them, but simply arrives at their taste by their.peculiarities of flavor, or, to speak plainly, smell.

Greece, the reply adds, is convinced that autonomy will not pacify -Crete, and that another chapter in the horrors of Mussulman fanaticism will be added to the six periods of anarchy which have already decimated the island. Continuing, the reply says it is impossible, in view of the past, to advise the Cretans to lay down their arms, holding that this advice' would not be obeyed, even if tendered. The Greek reply also s a y s t h a t since the foreign ships preserved order in Cretan waters a.mi pro'fftit. landing of Turkish troops, the presence of t h e Greek ships is unnecessary, but. it is explained, the Greek arm}' cannot Leave the Christians to the risk of Mussulman fanaticism and the Turkish troops. The-Greek g o v e r n m e n t holds that order in Crete would be immediately restored if t h e powers would have confidence in the Greek troops. and permit them to join in the work of pacifying the island.

When theine is administered to a frog or a- small animal it is found that If chiefly influences sensations which cj;fl*eine or coffee does not. In larger doses theine produces spontaneous spasms or, convulsions, which caffeine does not. This Is, In fact, the ultimate effect of smoking numerous tea cigarettes, finally producing 'fits' or convulsions. Theine also acts as a local anaesthetic, quieting painful nerves.

Aristocratic European circles were .Istinctly shocked the other day when t was announced that Donna Elvira, daughter of Don Carlos, the pretender to the Spanish throne, had eloped with Dne Folchl, a Roman artist and mar? ried man Don C v l o s immediately Issued a •uanifeeto proclaiming his daughter lead. Don Carlos had married a second time and his daughters did no<' like their new mother. Donna Elvira was in Rome when she met Folchi. She is 25 years old and had money in her own right, so the couple will not starve. She wrote to her father stating .5 DONNA ELVIRA. Aat her reason for elopment was that uer home life was made unhappy by aer stepmother. It seems that eloping is in the air at &ome, for late tolepragphic news brings .he report.that another Italian woman,' the daughter of no less a person than Cri'spi, * a s eloped with a seri^ant.

God has (leclaied that the man who orings wicked devices to pass, will soon be out of that business. Every good man is a lamp which Cod spares from heaven for awhile, to oelp give light to the world. The man has a hard place who has so •nuch religious work on hand, he never has time to pray iny«ecret. No matter what happens, the Christian should insist on believing that 3od is doing all things well. If you are poor, it may be that the Lord wants to show you how rich he :an make you without money. The devil has never been able to make any man dissatisfied with his lot, who had perfect trust in Christ. The time is flying this way on rapid wings, When the only thing that can prosper in this world is righteousness. One reason why the world gains cnowledge.so slowly, is that every child must find but for itself that fire is lot. The man of faith will not be cast lown because there are some people vho seem to be making the devil's servce pay.

From the way some of the mothers acted at a White House reception we are led to the belief that a children's congress to discuss ways and means ol controlling the old folks would be a good~thing.

This provision is a jiractteajk way of saying that without private-, Integrity there canne^^e-pubi-L^ow lie efficiency, meesuring service as"it i waB dead and ought to be measured. A man untrue the comfortable homes of Christendom have at some time celebrated Joyful events by banquet and festivity. Something has happened on the old homestead greater than anything that has ever happened before. A favorite' sen whom the world supposed would become a vagabond and outlaw forever has got tired of sight-seeing and has returned to his father's house. The world said he would never come back. The old man always said his son would come back. He has been looking for him day after day and year after year. He knew he would come back. Now having returned:to his father's house the father proclaims celebration. There is in the' paddock a calf that has been kept up.and fed to utmost capacity, so as to be ready for some, occasion of Joy ihat might come along. Ah! there never would be a grander day on the old homestead than this day. Let the butchers do their work, and the housekeepers bring to the table the smoking meat. The musicians will take their places, and the gay groups will move up and down the floor. All the friends and neighbors are gathered in and an extra supply is sent out to the table of the servants. The father presides at the table and says grace, and thanks God that Ills long-absent boy is home again. Oh! how they, have missed him, how glad they are to have him back: ^ One brother stands pointing at the back door and says, "This is a great ado about nothing; this bad boy should have been chastised instead of greeted; veal is too good for him!" But the father says, "Nothing is too good, nothing is good enough." There sits the young man, glad at the hearty reception, but a shadow of sorrow flitting across his brow at the'remembrance of the trouble he had seen. Alt ready Let the covers lift. Music.

Alexander, longing for other worlds to ooHqter, and y«t* drowned in his own bottle; Byron whipped by disquietudes around the world,- Voltaire cursing his own soul while all the streets of Paris were applauding him; Henry VIII. consuming with hatred against poor Thomas a Becket—all illustrations of the fact that this world cannot make a man happy.

It is because of the joy of their work; the Joy of the harvest field, the Joy of greeting prodigals home to their Father's house. Oh, we are in sympathy with vail innocent hilarities. We can enjoy a hearty song and we can be merry with the merriest: but thuse of us who have tolled In the service are ready to testify that all these joys are He is alive again! was lost and he is found! By such bold to himself, as is a shiftless or criminal j imagery does the Bible set forth the debtor, cannot be expected not to break faith in some way with the community. Identification lies along many lines, and forgeries of manner and speech are as patent as those of handwriting. At a reeent convention in Edinburgh a sscoker attributed to Gladstone the saying that a speech which reads well "must be a very bad speech." "No," replied Lord Rosebery. "Fox said that, and I can prove it. Fox said not very, but a word beginning with "d," and I am sure you will agree with me that this puts Mr. Gladstone's having said it out of the category of human posslbill* ties." — T h e six days'—bicy-cle racea whlch_ have become features of recent exhibitions are reprehensible in every sense merry-making when a soul comes horn* to God. You remember John Bunyan in hit great story tells how the pilgrim put his fingers to his ears, and ran, crying: "Life, life, eternal life!" A poor car driver .some time ago, after years having had to struggle to support his family, suddenly was informed that a large inheritance was his, and there was a joy amounting to bewilderment; but that Is a small thing compared with the experience of one when he has put in his hands the title deed to the joys, the raptures, the splendors of heaven, and he can truly say, "Its mansions are mine, its temples are mine, its songs are mine, its God is mine!" Qhf it ia no tamgthing to become a the teld among the wounded until, it { t a r a e compared with the satisfaction of was said there were at 'least 10,00(1 wounded men uniting their voicee as they came to the verse: - "There everlasting Spring abides And never-withering flowers; 'Tis but a narrow stream divides This .heavenly land from ours." At the opening of tlrar Exposition In New Orleans I saw a Mexican flutist, arid he played the solo, and then afterward the eight or ten bands'of music, accompanied by the great organ, came In; but the sound of that one flute as compared with ail the orchestras was greater than all the combined joy of the universe when compared with the resounding heart of Almighty God. For ten years a father went three times a day to the depot. His son went off in aggravating circumstnees, but the father said: "He will come back." The strain was too much and his mind parted, and three times a day the father went, ^n the early morning he watched the, train, its arrival, the stepping out of the pass%ngers, and then the departure of the train. At noon he was there again watching the advance of the train, watching the departure. At night he was there agalnv watching the coming, watching the going, for ten years. He was sure his son would come back. God haH been watching and waiting for some of seeing men enter the kingdom of God. The great eras of every ministry are the outpourings of the Holy Ghost, and I thank God I have seen sixteen ol them. Thank God, thank God! * *» *.. Look, look! There is Christ. Cuyp painted him for earthly galleries, and Correggio and Tintoretto and Benjamin West and Dore painted him for earthly galleries, but all those pictures are eclipsed by this masterpiece of heaven. Christ! Christ! There is Paul, the hero of the Sanhedrim, and of Agrippa's court room, and of Mars Hill, and of Nero's infamy, ahaking his chained fist iri the very'face of teeth-chattering royalty. Here is Joshua, the fighter of Bethoron and Gideon, the man that postponed sundown. And here is Vashti, the profligacy of the Persian court unable to remove her veil of modesty or rend it, or lift it. And along the corridors of this picture gallery I find other great heroes and heroines—David with his harp, and Miriam with the cymbals, and Zechariah with the scroll» and St. John with the seven vials, and the resurrection angel with the trumpet. On further in the corridors, see the faces of our loved ones, the cough gone from the throat, the wanneBs gone from the cheek, the weariness gone from the limbs, the languor gone from (totality Cittoi Rott art F&BOWA " l l i i f lj.il ill'.''' -V '•> ffBWI ifdply 111 ^1 TMWU .irrnioarLFe- 1 biff seea fcAV • HO SITBSTITDTM, < •edbrTko* thai they are o aeso«Uoa> «« a »popifio ^ 0 ¾ ^ m*dlcin«.«or icifaedUU ¾* f of F* infill. •«» tgkrftr mensc3, JFV teal* Weak now eta. , ^ , &iqa #3.(10 »box, with, ' fin direction*. • snmiors IMITATION* _ _ the eye.

It is a merry-making If is the killing of the fatted calf. It is a of the word. The severe strain has in I jubilee. You know the Bible never nearly every case resulted in fatal in juries to the contestants. Joseph Jefferson, commenting recently on undue athletic training, said that some years ago he met Laurence Barrett on a street corner in Boston, and Barrett said he was waiting for a street car to take him to a gymnasium. "Why not walk?" asked Jefferson; "that is better exercise than you will get at the gymnasium, and you will save the trouble -.oi^gojng there." United States Consul-General Karel, at S t Petersburg, "has furnished the state department with full particulars of the conditions under which the plans for the Siberian railway were changed so a* to run hhe eastern portion otf Uve line through Chinese territory- He e a y e I t was foumd that the original plan would be hard 6t esaseotion, owing t o the great technical 41fflcuKlef encountered.

It is more apt to be compared to a banquet than anything else. It is compared in the Bible to water, bright, flashing water, to the morning, roseate, i nreworked, mountain transfigured morning. I wish I could today take all the Bible expressions about pardon, peace, and life, and comfort, and hope, and heaven, and twist them into one garland and put it on the brow of the humblest child of God in this assemblage, and cry: "Wear it, wear It now, wear it forever; sop of God, daughter of the Lord God Almighty." Oh, the Joy of the new convert. Oh, the gladness of the Christian service. You have seen sometimes a man in a religkfus assembly get up and give his expert -yearsr-thirty years, fnrty_yg_ar£t j^eii haps fifty years, waiting, waiting, watching, watching, and if now tho prodigal should come home, what a scene of gladness and festivity, and how the great Father's heart would rejoice at your coming home. You will come, some of you, will you not? You will, you will. I notice, also, that whim a prodigal comes home there is the Joy of the ministers of religion. Oh, it is a grand thing to preach this gospel. I know there has been a great deal said about the trials and the hardships of the Christian ministry. I wish somebody would write a good, rousing book about the joys of the Christian ministry. Since I entered the profession, I have seen more of the goodness of God than I will be able to celebrate in all eternity. I know some boast about their "equilibrium, and tl!ey_do not rlse~7nlcr enthusiasm, and they do not break down with emotion; but I confess to you plainly that when I see a man coming to God and giving up his sin I feel in body, mind and soul a transport. When I see a man bound hand and foot In evil habit emancipated, 1 rejoice over it as though it were my own emancipation. When in One communion service such throngs of young and old stood up and in the presence of heaven' and earth and hell attested their allegiance to Jesus Christ, I felt a joy something akin to that-whlch—the—apostle describe*. go up we will! : —• From this hilltop I catch a glimpse of those hilltops where all sorrow and sighing shall be done away? Oh, that God would make that world to ns a reality. Faith in that.world helped old Dr. Tyng when he stood by the casket of his dead son whose arm had been torn off in the threshing machine, death ensuing, and Dr. Tyng, with infinite composure, preached the funeral sermon of his own beloved son. Faith in tha,t world helped Martin Luther without one tear to put away in death his favorite child. Faith in that world helped the dying woman to see; on the sky the letter "W," and they asked her what she supposed that letter "W" on the sky meant. vOh," she said, "don't y^u know?

For the past niue or ten months I have been having attacks of kidney complaint, tho pain 211 my back over iny hips was very severe at times; my urinary system was also in a bad state of derangement, sometimes tho urine was scanty t.nd then again the amount would be excessive, and a rfiincntty of' p^ngc always existed.

VNeedlees to say that the old woman was won over, and promised to keep our secret. No one was to know anytbr& Brot .it but ourselves, and it was left to mo to make all the arrangements. Perhaps it 1s as well tor me to mention that I bad risen to the position of first-mate, and that I had been^promised a command at no distant date; therefore my getting married was not R very unwise or unreasonable proceeding.

N the day before Christmas Mabel and I were married, and as I placed the ring on her finger I felt that my happiness was complete. That same Christmas eve _sj_e^:my mother-and I were in /€|reenw'ioh, where I hat! The Christmas bells rang out auguries of a happy future, and I set words to tk()|_gr—words which formed the sweetest Iselody that ever fell on a man's soul. Mabel looked inexpressibly fair and beautiful, and, in the light of our happkaean my old another-appeared to grow young again. Never was a man so blessed as I. "God bless this day," I said, as we three) sat together, I with an arm around each.' "God bless this day for ever and ever!" We snt in tho duak, taJklng of the past and the future; and during a lull my mother sung a few lines of "To, heave, ho!" my father's favorite song, and broke down In the middle/overcome by remembrance of the past A few m«nenU afterward Mabel, with a tender neatlln* toward me, sung, in a low, sweet whse, a song I had never heard, before. One vane especially pleased n e . and sfce sung it again at my desire, M I wished to fix the words tn my adjsd: "Ttongfc friends bo chiding, And waves dividing, Itt faith abiding, I'll still be true; "And I'll pray for thee. OB the stormy ooeaji, la 4mp devotion, That's what I'll de," A kmg, long alienee followed; and we awoke from the dream Into which we hr.r. \\\'-.\ '.\- •.-• ;!;<.• i_cain, almost in whispers, of the bright promise which life held out for us. "I shall have more than one t&listnan with me," said Mabel, gone." "More than one, my darling? How many, then?" "Three/ she replied. "Hope, faith and love." "Faith and love are the best of these," said I. "Faith in each other, lore for each other. Mabel, if I lost faith in you, I believe that love would go forever out of my life." She became grave at this. "Do* yov ifrMrfc.-v site *reuewtfy ashed, "that you could ever grow to doubt me?" m "Yvu zolglft, a**w4rtl*ir*k me/' I replied, "if I think the sun will not rise to-morrow. No, Mabel, it is impossible that I should ever doubt you; the mere suggestion would make me unhappy, did I not know you are all that is good and pure and constant" My answer did not appear to satisfy her. "Suppose," she continued, with a woman's persistence, "that circumstances should arise in your absence— remember the harder task of faith is yours-j—" "Why?" I inquired, interrupting her. "I should never doubt," she answered, with a tender smile. "Knowing you from the time 1 was a child, and you being always my best and | dearest friend, my love for you and faith in you have become a part of my lUe. So it comes'natural to me. When you first saw me you were a man " "Yes," I said, again interrupting her; "but a man who had never loved any Woman but my mother. Well, go on.' '^Suppose, then,*"she repeated, "that circumstances should arise in your absence that might cause people to speak of me through no fault of mine, as they did of me and that man"—I knew that she referred to Mr. Druce, and that, holding him in abhorrence she shrank from uttering his name—"would a suspicion of doubt of my love and faith ever enter your mind? That is what I want to know." "And when'you know it, will you rest satisfied," I asked, with a light heart and in a light tone, "and never think again of such an impossibility." "Yes, Amos." "Well, then, I will first show you that I can be as obstinate as yourself. Do you know of any such circumstance likely to arise?" She paused a moment berore she-?*^ plied: "No; I know of none." "Then take my answer, my dearest. Nothing could ever shake my faith in you—nothing could ever weaken my love for you. If arvy necessity really existed that these words should be spoken, I am glad that they are spoKen at Christmas. Henceforth this good season holds a more sacred place in my heart, because it has brought me the priceless blessing of your love; because, also, of the lesson it has taught me—the lesson of faith, to live forever undimmed in my soul!" She held me round the neck, and, kissing me, tearfully, whispered that she would never, never forg^t^ae words I had/spoken. _^And _so that happy Christmas flew ojie nuui was usslw^ur skipper—so that L. the command devolved upon sis. We were sfcaied up and taken Sm^fll Melbourne, and there I reported myself. My great anxiety now was to get home a^'soocTfts possible, but * temptation was twtowtfrh raV way wfcfcm I could not resist. I was offered the command of.% vessel belonging to the owners of The Blue Jacket. This vesse>,w»4 to trade, first to China,, and there take in cargo for London. To successfully accomplish this to the WUs-ac'tion of my owners would be as good as* the making of me. No mere partings from Mabel, then, thought I, as I joyfully—though wRh* natural rue at tb^^delay —acceptwhen you are , ^ ^ <#„ x w p o t e h 0 j ^ to jfsbel the double good news of my escape from ahrpwrick and my promotion. Tou will understand that during ail jJ>Js time I had no opportunity of receiving a line from her; such arc the exigencies of a sailor's life. I was kept in Melbourne longer than pleased me, and it was quite three months before I stepped on to my ship's deek with my clearing papers. The gold fever was raging so violently in those days, that it was no easy task to get a crew together for a humdrum country like Great Britain. However, we managed to muster A lot b* scarecrows who knew mrteNwieogh of the sea or a sailor's duties, and after an unreasonable long voyage—in consequence of my being compelled to be more than ordinarily careful because of the incompetency of my crew—we arrived safely at our destination and there took in cargo for dear old England. I looked upon it as the happiest of happy omens that I arrived home at Christmas-tide. I bad been absent exactly three years. With a joy stirring in my heart wheh I have not the power to express, I set out from the docks for the dear little cottage of shells in Brixton. It wee evening before I could get free, and the ^flight was dark—but not lonely. Flowers seemed to rise in the snow as I walked, seemed to grow in the air as I stopped onward. Cold? Not a bit of it. Everything was warm and beautiful and bright, as it should be at Christmas. All my anxieties and troubles were now at an end. How grateful I wsjj ibst, by God's mercy, I was spared, and enabled to spend another Christmas ashore with my darling wife and my dear old mother! P recalled the memory of the hast happy Christmas I had spent in their dear society, and of the lesson of love emd faith I had then learned. And there came upon me In fuller force a dim, sweet hope I had nursed and cherished through all my wanderings—a hope which I hardly dared to shape Into words—'that when I reached home I should see in Mabel's arms a child who would call me father. How I had dwelt upon that hope! How I had cherished it! What resolutions I had formed to bring up my child in a worthy way, and to make him proud of me, as I was of Beecroft ,Mariner, my father!

CHAPTER VIH. e>uly, man proposes and God dispose*. I anticipated that I should' * be absent for not kmger than twelve months, and it was three years before I stepped upon my native land again. Briefly, this is the reason why: We were bound for Otrina, and- while-we lay there unloading, the agents of the vessel accepted a profitable charter for Auetralls, The gold fields had Just been discovered in t w pert of the world, and the finance was not to be missed, I fretted at the delay, but duty was before me, and that stood first. We set sail for the Australian coast. Our voyage wsu a ilssssti mis mr When within two days' sail of our destination, our ship. Thfe Blue Jacket, was overtaken by a violeex storm, which so disabled her that <eV had to take to our boats. It happened strangely enough that another vessel, named The Blue Jacket, was caught in this storm, and went down with kit hands.

My heart sung within me, and either my cheeriness, or my brisk step, or the brightness of my face, or all of them together mayhap, caused me to receive many a pleasant look from the passersby— looks, be sure, which I returned with interest. Home! dear, sweet home! There were no lights in the Brixton lanes, but I could have found my way if I had been blind. Many a time on the wild seas, when the wind was howling round me, and not a star could- be seen in the dark skies, had I in my fancy threaded my way through these paths, and seen the cottage of Beecroft, Mariner, shining out of the gloom with my wife and mother waiting at the door to welcome me; and now, as I turned the lane in which our cottage was situated, a dull feeling of pain crept Into my heart because I did not hear the pattering of the feet nor the faces: of those I ao fondly loved. Only for a moment did this unreasonable feeling have play; I shook it off resolutely. How could they know, how could they tell, the hour and the mrnute I should appear among them?

State Legislature in Joint Beteloa Celebrate* the Sixtieth Anniversary of Michigan's Statehood—Policeman Shot by a Burglar at Port Horon. , ' i Michigan a State 60 Years. The state legislature met in the hall of the house of representatives at tensing to listen to speeches in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of Michigan's admission to the Union and the 50th anniversary of the location of the capital at Lansing. There were at least 3,500 people present. The program opened with Hon. Russell C. Ostrander, mayor Of Lansing, who addressed the assembly on "The Capitol City." Hon. P. Dean Warner, of Farmington, ex-speaker of the house in '67, exeenator and member of the constitutional convention of 07, gave many interesting reminiscences. President Angell of Michigan University spoke on the development of higher education in Michigan. It was the United States, he said, that endowed the University of Michigan, and that endowment of $500,t)00 was the only permanent endowment that the university ever had. The institution was run 30 years without a cent from the state. The state's annual .. outlay for the institution in the past 60 years, he said, was only about an average of $17,000. 1 Lieut 4iov. Dunstan spoke on the "Resources of the Upper Peninsula." Kx-Gov. Cyrus G, Luce ^was most heartily applauded when he rose to talk on the resources o£ the lower peninsula. The glory and future of the state depended upon the legislators, and it was their duty to lighten the burdens of its people. Atty.-Gen. Mayuard spoke on "Our State Capital." Prof. H. 11. Pattengill spoke on the "Primary Schools of Michigan,' saying that Michigan's primary pupils were three years ahead of those of other states. Capt E. P. Allen paid a glowing tribute to Michigan in the-war. serious Flood* la Michigan. The Kalamazoo river reached the highest uotch in years, Many houses in Kalamazoo Was surrounded, some being filled half way to the eaves. All movable material was carted to, higher ground or placed on house topi, . One street was badly damaged by the flood. Many houses are reached only by boats. Amaden & Weden's woolen mill at Corunna is a wreck, a large portion of the structure having one down the river. The firm moved all the valuables out just in time. The loss is 13,000. The Pigeon river went on the rampage, flooding highways, fields, orchards and flats about Caseville. There was three feet of water over Hayes' bridge. In the village of Pigeon all the streets except Main were flooded. The Hotel Heasty yard, cellars and stables were under from one to three feet of water. Grave fears were entertained for the safety of Flaoh & Conley's dam above Caseville. Jn the event of its breaking, the Pontiac, Oxford A Northern railroad bridge would be in great danger. —» »' Death the Result of a Needle'* Prick.

Is Pingree Mayor of Detroit T The question whether Gov. Pingree has a right to be mayor of Detroit also is now in a fair way to come squarely before the supreme court for its determination. The court dismissed the proceeding brought by D. \\. H.

The court directs that the Detroit common council show cause if hy a mandamus should not Issue To" compel, it to call a special election for the purpose of electing a successor to MayorPingree. Attorney-General Maynard was Informed that upon filing ti&e petition he would be relieved of further participation in the proceedings as the relator's interests would be looked after by Judge Speed and Hon.

Rome: It is officially announced that the.result of the pour parjera of the powers Is a definite agreement not to reply to the Greek uyte, but to issue orders to the foreign admirals to establish an immediate blockade of Cretan ports. This agreement is somewhat in the nature of a concession by Russia and France. Russia, during the middle of lust week, proposed, with France seconding the proposal, another joint note, to Greece, insisting on the withdrawal of the troops, instead of an immediate resort by the powers to force It is thought that the simplest way to carry out the threat made in the identical note will be the blockading of the Cretan ports and the landing of forces sufficient to Insure the maintenance of order, leaving future action as to the fate of Crete to later negotiations! This was the view of Ilussia at the outset.

So, putting my hand to my mouth, I cried lustily, "Yp, heave, ho!" I listened and waited, but it was clear they had not heard me. "Yo, heave, ho!'* I cried again, louder than before, and again waited and listened, and again heard no sound in response. "Too fast asleep," thought I, and I tried the street door. To my surprise, It yielded to my hand. I entered the room, and knew, though all was dark around me, that everything was as I had left it three years before. I could just distinguish the indistinct outlines Of the old familiar shapes. I put my bundle on the floor under the little round table in the center of the room, and, feeling my way to the stairs, I crep up them to. the bedroom above. I pained at the door. "Mother*** I called; and then, "Mabel!" N o answer coming, I went softly Into the room and passed my hand over the bed. It was empty. "Well," said I, after a little while, "they are out Junketing, those two, not expecting me home at sach an hour. Mayhap they are spending the evening with a neighbor." I considered whether I should go out in search of them, or whether I should rest at home, and astonish them- upon their return, But if I went, I should not knov/ where to look for them, and it -would he sheer folloy to wander 'aboax wlthoat knowing where one was going to. Besides, they might return in my absence. So, without more ado, I descended the stairs to the little parlor below, and there sat down in a chair, determining t owait till my mother and Mabel came h o m e / Until T~h*a quite made up my mlhd,-I-41d not know ftow tired I was.

T h e r e , they are," t h o u g h t I, wjih throbs of Joy, but with some feelings of fear also; for it suddenly occurred to me that^-my appearance there -might frighVe»~them. While tnis thought was disturbing me I listened, for the familiar voices. I heard none, and hut one person entered the room-nay mother, whose step J recognised. Where was Mabel, then? Why, lingering behind, saying good-night to a neighbor, perhaps, or shutting the garden gate! In my excitement I nose, and stood m an attitude of expectation. I heard a heavy •o as hot "to alarm her?

Mother*, I wrote four letters to Mabel." ' I paused here, but my mother did not speak.' As I held her in my arms she clung closer to me, as though she were tearful of losing me. "Bpar up," said I, with a fond pressure; "things have come around happily, and it is our duty to be thankful." "I humbly thank the Lord," I heard her whisper, "for my dear son's safescream, and held up her hands to keep me off; and as I moved toward her, a wild shudder passed through her form, the candle fell from her hands, and we were again In .darkness. _ _ ing tone, kneeling by her side, "Is this the welcome you give me on my i»» sigh from my mother, and the next moment a match was struck, and I aaw her with her hack toward me. lighti n g a eaadle.

Where is my wife— where is Mabel? Do you not know me? I am Amos, your eon." The name brought a glimmer of light to her mind. "Amos!" she moanel. "No, no! It is the dead that is-speaking to me, I have no son; he was killed, as his father waB, by t h e cruel sea. Lord, have pity on me! Lord*, have pity on me!" Killed as my fatper was, by the cruel sea! What had occurred, then, during my absence? Could it be possible that the news of our rescue in the boats had failed to reach home? No, It was impossible. There were my letters to MabeU relating all the circumstances ofour^peril and our escape. Fearing for /my old mother's reason, I searched about for matches, that she might see me bodily, and s o assure herself. But I could not find them, and what passed between us took place In the dark, neither seeing the other's face. I knelt again by her side. "You foolish old soul!" I said, in a tender and coaxing tone, "do you know what you are saying? Nay, III not touch you if my touch .hurts you? Steady ydu-rself, mother; I am neither dead nor drowned, or how could I .be here talking to you?" She could not have understood me. "My Amos!" she sobbed. "My boy. that I loved and worshiped! The best, the bravest sailor on all the queen's seas! My old eyes will never agfvln be blessed with a sight of him—never again, never again!" I had strong need to apply myself to the advice I gave to her. It was as much as I could do to keep steady, so as to get the heart of this mystery. Although I was trribly shaken, I proved myself equal to the occasion, and by dint of tenderness and a good deal of coaxing, I managed at length to cohjrince my mother that I was alive. Then, to my amezemeht^partr story was told and made clear to me. The Blue Jacket that went down with all hands when within t w o . days' sail of the Australian coast, was believed by my mother to have been the Slue Jacket in which I served. Te arrive at this understanding occupied me fully an hour, and by that time my mother was sitting on my knee, soothed and pacified, and filled with a feeling of awe and gratitude at m y escape. I could now turn my attention to those matters nearest my heart The whole mystery w a s not yet cleared. Being supposed t e he dead was a sufficient reason for my wife o o t being at home to welcome oav, but < had written to her, twice from China and twice from Melbourne. What had beeome of those letters? Surely, if she had received them—and why should she not? they were addressed to her plainly at her mother's house—she would net have kept tne goon tiarage of my safety and . promotion from my own mother. The first thing I had t o do, plainly, was to question my mother upon this point. "N wo that I have convinced you, mother," Iseid, 'that I am not lying am no ghost, you must satisfy me upon some point that are dark to me. Mabel— why, what's the matter with you,. dame, that you shrink from me? Are if you will tell me where I can find the matches. We oan talk hotter in the light."4 flung floae to me sgain, with, childsomething of terror expressed ia her maaner—which I set down to her not having entirely recovered from her • n*nrmured that e h e did not a light; that the darkness salted thai sitting there with la the house Amen," responded I, kissing her. "But all is well, thanks be. There shall be no more, parting between me and my dear wife. She shall sail with me, if she wil'., wherever I go, and you shall keep the house warm for us to return to. Yes, four letters I wrote to Mabel. The first from China, telling her of our going to Australia; two from Australia, telling her of my escape and promotion; and one from China again, just before we sailed for home. Do you mean to tell me that Mabel did not read those, letters to you?" "I never knew you had written any, Amos." "Could she not have received them?" I asked, dismayed and wondering. "I addressed themkto her, and posted them with my own hand to her mother's house. And for her not to have read them to you! Mother!" I cried, Impelled sudden fear, "has there been foul play somewhere?" Her tears and moans were my only answer. « "Nay, nay," said I, with a cold c h t l at my heart, "if I can't learn from you, I must go elsewhere.. I will see Mabel at once. There must be an end to this myfltery^ I rose to go, but my mother clung t* me with convulsive sobs, and strove with feeble bands to restrain me. But they were strong enough; they clutched my very heart strings. A deadly faintness stole upon me, and would hare overpowered me, but that I wrestled desperately with it and overcame it. "In the name of God!" I cried, when I had recovered my speech, "do not torture me any longer with your silence! Tell m« what is in your mind." The agony of my tone compelled her to obedience. "Amos, my son," she said, rn a weak, wandering voice, "it is late; it must be one o'clock. And see, Amos, What a wild night it is." v a t e s f e e strongest natures. A woman* personal at* tractiveueae is the weapon with which she conquers her world. Almost every woman believes that she possesses at least some one attractive feature and strives to make the most of that. But mere regularity of feature is not the moat attractive form of beauty. Mankind is more influenced by the bright glowing vitality of perfect health. A classic cast of countenance will not make a woman attractive and captivating, if- ahs is-pale, thin, weak and nervous, or has a pimply complexion or unwholesome breath. These complaints are due to imperfect nutrition. The digestive and blood-making organs fail to extract tbe needed nourishment from the food, and tbe liver is too singgish to cleanse the blood of bilious impurities. The entire constitution becomes weak and poisoned. The only perfect antidote for this state of things is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Oh eovery. It gives power to the digestive *•<- nutritive organs to make an abundance e: pure, rich, highly vitalized blood, whkU permeates the whole system with the sweetness of purity; the beauty of womanly vigor and animation. It creates solid, healthy flesh and natural color; clears the complexion; dispels wrinkles; rounds out the form and imbues the whole physiqne with the irresistible ^tmxat magnetism of perfect health.

Somebody is always making a bet on some queer proposition or other and the decision is Mt in many cases to some of the papers. No sooner is the bet made than the men who have put up the money or promised to do so, hie themselves to a telephone and ring up "the editor" of the paper to which the decision has been left. Some of the propositions advanced are enough to mak6 a mule laugh, and some are sent T5veT-trxe-telepbon^jxLst_to_Wiirry the man who answers the ring and possibly to catch the man i • • ' . % *° with some trick. The other day, for instance, some fresh boy rang up a newspaper to ask for the decision on this proposition: "Is it legal for a man to marry bis widow's sister?" The young man who answered the 'phone refused to "bite" and told the inquirer that his question would be answered through the columns of the paper if he would write it out and forward £t with hie name nnd address That is? c..v :, * £ the rule in most offices and this particular question never came of course. Another anxious inquirer, pre* sumably a farmer, wanted a cure for potato bugs. The agricultural editor, to whom the question was referred replied that he could not tell until he knew what ailed the bugs. The .questioner was probably unable to describe their complaint, and the consultation was not renewed. But the other night there came one that was too good to lose, so the young man who received it answered it on his own account. * "We've made a bet," said the fellow who rang up the office, "and we want you to decide it." *gbkj>aper don't decide 4>ets^ was the answer.

The prinoi^al rain gambling den is on Cotton stree:, Burra bazaar. No one who has not visited the place can havo any conception of the vast crowds wjak'h at every hour of the day and ir Into the night pass in and out.

Greeks, and women, too. All swarm .into the email courtyard whereythls strange form of gambling Is carried on through* a narrow entrance barely three feet wide. The courtyard is about 200 feet square. The far-famed tank with a spout falling into the courtyard is the one spot where all eyes are fixed. The tank stands at the edge of a second-floor roof. It Is about six feet broad by four feet wide and nine inches deep, with the spout opening inward, some three or four Inches from the bottom. From this It will be seen that It requires a pretty heavy downpour dor at least ten minutes to cause the spout to flow, Intermittent drizzles, whlifch partly fill this tank, do not count, ai the shower to fill it must pour down uninterruptedly aria then the bets are won or lost. Chances are taken either for or against the spout running. A gray* haired, wizened old man is the owner of the den and there is another similar place across the road, only smaller. On the roof, oyer the fifth floor, there is a small, square watch tower, in which are stationed five or six men, whose duty is to scan the horizon closely and report on the formation of rain clouds. On these reports the odds rise or fall. A bet made . and won one, day is always paid the following morning. Everything seems to be "on the square" and, indeed, there ft little chance for cheating.1 The odde range as high as 1 to 75 on some days, even in the rainy season.

B a l z a c a n d RothechilcL It is a well-known fact that the late Baron James Rothschild was on excellent terms with Balzac, the famous French novelist, who dedicated to him several of his books. One day when he was about to proceed to Germany and being, as was often the case, in rather straitened circumstances, Balsac, applied to the baron, who, with his habitual generosity, handed him the sum of 3,000 franoa, and at the same trme a letter of introduction, addressed to-his nephew in Vienna, The letter was unsealed, as is usual in such cases. Belzac read it, thought its bone rather cool, trivial and altogether Inadequate. He scorned to deliver It, and returned to Paris with the autograph in hie pocket. On hie arrival he waited upon the great hanker. "Well," said the baron, "did you see my nephew?" Balzac coldly confessed that he had kept the letter. / "I am sorry for your sake," said toe baron; "have you it by you?" "Why certainly; here it is."

He has been experimenting on the effect of different colored lights on the growth of plants. Hie most interesting experiment was with a number of plants on the Mimosa Sensitive. Ha raised them from seeds, and when one inch high set them In four pots, a pair In each pot One pair he kept exposed to ordinary white light, the others he covered with colored glass bells, one with blue, one with green and one with red. At the end of two months the plants under the blue light were sliil only one inch high; those under the green had grown to Ave inches, ant thoae under the red had attained to sixteen lnehea of height; the plant* ordinary light had grown to a height of four Inches From this ft appears that the blue light retanla growth, thai green la rather avroreble, and that red light .force* the growth moan beyond the normal.

Prince Hitfcoff, the Russian, minister of ways and communications, in an interview at Niagara Falls, N.< Y„ said that the .present policy of the Russian goyswament in regard to the intension condition iu which we find the revenues of the government. It is conceded that its current expenditures are greater than Its receipts aud that such a condition has existed for more than three years. With unlimited means at our command we are present!ug the remarkable spectacle of Increasing our public, debt by borrowing money to meet the ordlpary outlays incident upon even an economical and prudent administration ot the government. An examination of the subject discloses this fact in every detail and leads inevitably to the conclusion that the condition of the revenue which allows it is unjustifiable and should be corrected. We find by the report of the secretary of the treasury that the revenues for the fiscal.year endlug June 30,1802, from all sources, were $425,808,260.22, and the expenditures for all purposes were $415,033,800.50, leaving an excess of receipts over expenditures of $9,914,- 453.06. During that fiscal year $40,- 570,467.98 were paid upon the public debt, which has been reduced since March 1, 1889, $259,070,890, and the annual interest charges red-need $11,- 084,570.60. The receipts of the government from all sources during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1893, amounted to $401,716,501.94, and its expenditures to $459,374,887.65, showiug an excess of receipts over expenditures of $2,341,. 674.29. Since that time the receipts of no fiscal year, and with but few exceptions of no month of any fiscal year have exceeded the expenditures. The receipts of the government, from all sources, during the fiscal year ending Jun6 30, 1894, were $372,802,408.29, and its expenditures $442,005,750.87* leaving a deficit, the first since the resumption of specie payments, of $69,803,- 260.58. Notwithstanding there was a decrease of $10,769,127.78 in the ordinary expenses of the government, as compared with the previous fiscal year, its income was still not sufficient to provide for its daily necessities, and the gold reserve in the treasury for the redemption of greenbacks was drawn upon to meet them. But this did not suffice, and the government then resorted to loans to replenish the reserve. In February, 1894, $50,000,000 in bonds were issued, and in November following a second issue of $50,000,000 was deemed necessary. The sum $117,171,795 was realised by the sale of these bonds; but the reserve was steadily decreased until, on February exceeding 24 by 30 Ijftheae, increased from 8 to 12 cents. There is no increase in the larger aiaes over the Mc- KInley rates. - .. .?& . -*T J^L* Silver plate ^ W l i ' ^ p i a i i t , plates, not e x c o j m g , & b * 24~juche8 square, h a v e ^ > e » t i y t # i e i to Kceuts per square' foot; 'mm'.that A M uot exceeding 24 by 80 lichen, to 1¾ cents; above that, and not exceeding 94 by GO inches, decreased to 23 cents; all above thai reduced to Ml pent*. ..„• Iron 0»$£:* " Iron ore, including tfjaganlferou* iron, ore, also the d m i or residuum from burnt pyrites, 40c-ton.

In raising revenue, duties shofrttt be so levied upon foreign products as to preserve the home market, so far> as possible, to our own producers; to revive and increase manufactories; to relieve and encourage agriculture; to increase our domestic aud,foreign.commerce; to aid and develop minims aud building; and to render to labor In every field of useful occupation the liberal wages and adequate rewards to which skill and Industry are justly entitled. The necessity of the passage of a tariff law which Bhall provide ample revenue need be no further urged. The imperative demand of the hour is the prompt enactment of such a measure, and to ihls object I earnestly recommend that Before other busluess Is transacted, let us first provide sufficient revenue to faithfully administer the government without the contracting of further debt, or the continued disturbance of our finances.

A further loan of $100,000,000 was negotiated by the government in February, 1890, the sale netting $111,166,246, and swelling the aggregate of bonds issued within three years to $202,315,400. For. the fiscal year ending June 30, 1896, the revenues of the government frdni all sources anionnted to $409,475,408.78. while its expenditures were $434,078,654.48, or an excess of expenditures over receipts of $25,203,245.70.

In January of this year the receipts, exclusive of postal revenues, were $24,316,- 994.05, and the expenditures, exclusive |of postal service, $80,269,389.29, a defi- <cit of $5^52,,39-^24 for the month.

The average rates are little, if any, below those of the McKInley bill, and in some of the schedules they are higher. It is the purpose of the committee to devise a provision that will enable reciprocity treaties to be made, not only to secure the larger importation of American manufactures into the South and Central American countries, but also to open the markets of European couutries, particularly Germany and France, to the freer use of American meats and agricultural products generally.

The work ol p*e extraordinary aea* sioo of the LVth congreaa waa opened in the-.Sonata by the reading of the President's proclamation convening tbe session. The galleries were crowded, but nothing of interest transpired beyond tire swearing in of a number of senators—^amon? them W. A. Harris, Populist, of Kansas, aa successor, t o Mr. Peffer—and the reading of t h e rresident's message. The message was given undivided attention, b u t caused no demonstration. In t h e House the interest centered in the election of the speaker aud the reading of the President's message. Of the 357 members of the House 337 responded to the roll call, and of these 148 were new members. _Politlcally classified t£ey are SOfl Republicans, 12!T~I>BUM> crats and 29 fusion sllverites and Populists, As candidates for speaker the Republicans presented Hon. T. B. Heed, of Maine; the Democrats Jos, \V. Bailey, of Texas; the Populists John C. Bell, of Colorado, and the silverites V. G. Newlands, of Nevada. The vote resulted Reed, 199; Bailey. 114; Dell, 21, and Newlaud 1. Mr. Reed then made a little speech thanking his colleagues for the honor, and then Mr, Harmer, of Pennsylvania, as the oldest member of the House in point of service, administered the oath of office. The otner* offices were filled as follows: Clerk, Alexander McDowell, of Pennsylvania; sergeant-at-arms, Ben V. Russell, of Missouri; doorkeeper, William J. Glenn, of New York; postmaster, Joseph C, McElroy, of Ohio; tally clerk, Frank H. Wakefield, of Michigan, and chaplain, Henry M. Couden, of Michigan. The President's message was applauded vigorously, as was Mr. Dingley when he introduced the new tariff bill. The rules of the last House were adopted temporarily, the speaker appointed the committees on rules, ways and means, and mileage and the House adjourned. , SENATE—Second day—A large list of nominations Were received from President McKinley, th.e principal ones being John Hajr, of the District of Columbia, to be ambassador to Great Britain; Horace Porter, of New York, t o be ambassador to France; Henry White, of Rhode Island, to be secretary of the embassy of the United States to Great Britain. Just 438 bills were introduced, which include billa^directing the foreclosure of the government lien on the Union Pacific railway; to prevent professional lobbying; for a cable between the United States, Hawaii and Japan; U> amend the immigration laws; providing for the increase of all pensions; bankruptcy bills. Mr. Morgan reintroduced the Nicaragua canal bill Which was before the last congress and also a jomt resolution to abrogate the Clayton - Buhver treaty. Numerous bills relating to the Pacific railroads were presented, including one to createarboard of trustees /or the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroad companies. . HOUSE—No session. SKNATK—Third day—The first report of the session was presented by Mr. (rear, of Iowa, from the committee on Pacific railroads and was favorable t o the bill for an adjustment of the Pacific railroad debts by a commission consisting of the .secretary of the treasury, secretary of the interior and the attorney-general. A number of minor bills were introduced, and Senator Stewart, of Nevada, whose home is at Carson City, created some amusement by offering a bill for the relief of one CorSett. It proved to be a private pension bill for an old soldier in Mr. Stewart's constituency.

It was put up to he balloted for, the candidates being Sherman, Blaine, Allison, Logan, and a half-dozen others of almost equal prominence. At that time there was a newspaper correspondent here by the name of Felix Crocraft.
