BsarjonT, Pselisfcer. Professor J. C. "MendenhaU, Superintendent of the U. 6. coast and geodetic survey, was born in Hanoverion, 0 . , In 1841, and was professor of physic* and mechanics in Ohio university from 1878 to 1878, When the Japanese government formed the Imperial university at Tekio, he was offered and accepted a professorship in the same sciences. He returned In 1881 and resumed the chair in the Ohio state university. In 1882 he organized the Ohio state weather bureau service, and subsequently devised a system of weather signals for displaying on railroad trains. He became a professor In the United States signal service in 1884, but resigned in 1886 to accept the presidency of the Rose Polytechnic Institute at Terre Haute, IndL, which position he held until appointed to his present important office. The difficulty in obtaining a jury in the now famous Cronin case in Chicago shows that the policy of excluding thinking and reading men from the jury box grows like an evil weed. It is a dangerous growth, certain, unless restrained, to sooner or later bring trial by jury inio disropute and disfavor. Too much care cannot be exercised in the selection of jurors in important cases, especially in those in which the question of life and death is involved. But care should be exercised in the way of choosing men of ascertained intelligence. Ignorance should not be, as it is apparently to become, the chief qualification of the model juror. Brazil is making rapid progress towards a more liberal government. In the general elections held In September, the liberal party elected 95 of the 125 members of the house of representatives, thus gaining an overwhelming majority. In May last there was a clash between the emperor and the conservaiive cabinet, which resulted in the dismissal of the miniate* in power, the dissolution of parliament, and an order for a new election, With the stated result. This is an indorsement of the advanced ideas of the emperor, and of various reform* tnder contemplation. The international monetary conferonce soon to be held in Paris is of interest to our western states, for the reason that the relative value of silver and gold as a circulating medium will be exhaustively discussed. Steps toward forming a basis for an international coin, the character and functions of subsidiary and minor coins, and many other topics rre to be considered. The question of silver as a circulating medium Is of the highest importance in mining districts, and the results of the conference will have no little effect on the value and future «f the white metal. Slam is the latest country to embrace the civilization which railroads -bring in their train. Surveys are now in progress for intended lines into the land which is notorious lor its claims to the possession of a white elephant, and it is said that the laying of rails along the routes marked cu by the engineer will be speedily followed by 1he formation of companies for developing, on a large scale, the mineral weal h of the country. Malaria Is the chief hindrance to the opening up of the interior of Slam to commercial Intercourse with Europe said the Unked States. MARVELLOUS JUOCLBRY. Soma of the incomprehensible Thins;* D o n * In the'Sast Indies. Bam Chunda Khan, >oew a resident of Leadville, but for many years a dweller in India, as his name may indicate, was in Denver, a iys the Times of that city. Mr. Khan resembles others of his race In figure and feature. He speaks English with what some Americans term ' * o English accent," and is fluent and interesting in conversation. Talking to a Times reporter about the marvellous skill of the native jugglers in India, Mr. Khan said: 4'I was at Delhi, India, about five years ago and while there witnessed a jugglery or sleight-of-hand performance that was as interesting to me as any I had ever seen. We had dined with the chief engineer of the Punjaub, and after dinner retreated to the veranda The actors, as I may call them, were seven in number, very ordinary looking Hindoos, with the exception of the leader, who WHS as fine a looking sikh as I had ever seen, and that is saying a great deal. He was heavily bearded, broad shouldered, and commanding. His attire consisted of nothing more than a white waist cloth and a turban. "The ground on which the performance was given was the broadened end of a graveled carriage drive in front of the bungalow. Here it was not possible that there should be any hidden stage mechanism nor any concealed accomplice, and when the seven actors stood up in the center of this ground, each one as simply dressed as the leader, one could not help but think what little chance they had to conceal about their persons what we look upon as the usual outfit of the cotijurer. "Standing in a lateral row, the leader speaking for the party, they signified their wish to be counted. We on the veranda counted them and individually and collectively reached the same result—that there were seven, neither more nor less. After a few twists and turns of a peculiar intricate dance the men stopped arid ugain arranged themselves in line. They numbered only six. One had disappeared. Going through the same dancing movements ugain and lining themselves as before we counted eight A •third time they danced and one of the eight disappeared, leaving the original number, seven. You must satisfy your own mind as to how the trick was done; that is what we were obliged to do. "The next trick was even more wonderful than the one which proceeded it. The sikh and one of the Hindoos stepped ia front of the five other men and the sikh, by a few passes of his hands, put the single Hindoo under mesmeric or other uncanny influence. The leader's hands moved rapidly over the patient's body, the strokes ending each time at the left shoulder. Soon from that point an opaque mass seemed to grow. To this the operator turned his attention. While he did not appear to touch it the mass took shape, following the movements of his fingers. Thus he moulded it into the semblance of a human form more perfect in every particular but apparently without life. It was joined to the mesmerized Hindoo by a filament. "When the experiment had progressed thus far we on the veranda experienced a curious sensation; we could feel the concentrated wills of the leader and the five idle Hondoos centerod on this male Galatea. It took unto itself life, and the leader, with a wave of the hand, (Taosed the filament to disappear. The male Galatea, or better, the Fr.inkenstein'stepped forward of its own will. One-of the Hindoos came to the front and threw a cloth around the creature's waist and led it upon the veranda where we sat, and at the same time collected our rupees and four-anna-pieces. We cauld see nothing unearthly in the person nor in the action of this hand-made being. Its eyes were open, but it did not speak, but it seemed to notice material things and walked unassisted and unguided back to the group of jugglers. "After time enough to quiet our nerves had elapsed the leader stepped forward holding in his hand a ball of colored cotton twine, and retaining one end of it in his left hand, he threw the ball str. ight up in the air. It unwound as it ascended, and just when the end fluttered loose and we expected to see it all como down with a run, a bird swooped down and taking the end of the cord in its beaK held the line suspended. Presently the line vibrated *nd we could see wiggling down it a serpent which the sikh caught and handed to an attendant who brought it to us. It was one of the dhadly and mu^h dreaded cobras and .full of life. We did not dare to touch it and the attendant hurried back to re :eive from the hands of the sikh an Indian baby that had come down the string with a rush and lay squirming in his arms. "The ball of cotton on which these mysterious phenomena were seen was about the sUe of a bombshell. Bow it could have contained a live serpent and a live baby I am at a loss to understand. We thoroughly examined the baby and pinched it with the usual result, and can* certify that it was a living child with healthy lungs. I may meation that when the attendant took the baby the sikh took the serpent and swallowed it quietly and quickly. Ail this time the mesmerized man had stood a little apart from the other Hindoos and was still in the trance. Turning to him now the leader made a few passes with his hands and brought the fellow back to consciousness, but we could not see tfjjff hand-made Hindoo, nor did any of us notice what had become of him.'1 A BUSY W A S P . Transferring Landed Property in Japan. Japan, a country in which Mexicans must henceforth feel a special interest, says the Mexican Financier, it having recently given the citizens of this republic uu usual commercial privileges, has set the civilized world an excellent example in the adoption of a new and^greatly improved method of transferring landed property. Hereafter land will be transferred by registration instead of by title deeds; registration books will be kept at the chief offices of all administrative districts, in which entries will be made fully describing all the lands in the district, the boundaries, owners' names, etc., and their taxable value. A person buying land will, ou the presentation of the proper information, be registered as the new owner of the property. This method of land transference has the advantage of the greatest possible simplicity, but it is not likely to find favor with lawyers and notaries. This remarkable simplification of the common method of transferring landed estates may well be investigated by the government of this country. • • . Hyenas and Bean in India. The hyena is nocturnal, hiding away in caves, among rocks or hills and ravines during daylight, and as a sneaking, cowardly, though formidable, animal, with jaws so powerful that it can crush largo bones with ease. It eats carrion and animals that have died or have been killed by other boasts of prey. It is often hunted and spearod, when it makes little effort to defend itself; it has an unearthly disagreeable cry, and is so cowardly it h;is been caught and hold by the hands of a native shikari. It figures to a considerable extent among the destroyers of life. There aro two wolves in India; the first seems to be undistinguishable from the European wolf, and is rather larger than other species which is the common wolf of India. The Indian wolf in rather Bmaller than the European species. It carries off children frequently, taking them out of the huts, and has been known to snatch them from their mothers1 arms. Wolves are cunning, cruel, bloodthirsty and very wary. They are seldom seen in the daylight, prowling chiefly at night. They live in holes and ravines, and are not often met with in the open; at night I have seen one or two flit like specters across the road. If surprised by day in the open they nvi.ko off at a long, loping gallop in which it is almost impossible to overtake them even on a good horse, though they are sometimes run down and speared. They seldom molest the larger animals, except when feeble, nor do they often attack adult human beings, unless they take them by surprise, but children I they attack readily. They grasp at the I throat, and I have seen children who | h ive been seized and rescued, but were 1 found to be mortally wounded. In ! 1887, 177 persons and 4087 head of cattle were killed by wolves in the • registered provinces. On the other hand, there were 6,339 wolves killed. The Salamander. Considerable ignorance exists, even among persons of education, as to the habit of the salamander. The mere mention of this harmless little batrachian recalls to the minds of most people mystic idVeas with respect to fireeating and flre-inhabiting creatures, which have probably caused many of the poor little brutes to be burnt by experimental philosophers who should have been far above a belief in snch absurdities. The spouted salamander Is thye color of lamp-black, with numer- >us large yellow spots and stripes, and ia very common all over southean Europe, as well as in northern Africa. It haunts all manner of dark and cool places, such as cavities under logs of wood, and holes in old walls, where they can find a supply of insects, worms or slugs. All the salamander's movements are performed with such absurd solemnity that the most hardened reptile- hater coifld not be uninterested. Sometimes the operation of swallowing a. worm will last twenty minutes Amount of Work Performed by an Industrious Insect. There is a circular flower bed in city hail park situated directly beneath a big button-wood tree on the Broadway side. The attention of passers-by was recently attracted by the actions of a big black "sand" or "dirt" wasp. The wasp was digging a hole In the ground beneath a broad lea/. The hole was evidently intended for a nest After having selected the site for his future abode and egg repository the wasp commenced operations by removing small quantities of earth with bis jaws. The earth the wasp carried away and hid in the grass about four feet away. The wasp worked very rapidly, and in a surprisingly short time had burrowed out quite a hole. During these brief operations the insect, in order to give the hole perfect shape, kept his body continuously moving round and round and continuously ducking his head in and out. In the meantime he kept his wings moving with a jerky, angry motion. The hole thus made was about three-eighths of an Inch in diameter. After working In this industrious manner for nearly half an hour the wasp had burrowed out quite a deep hole. His work seemed lighter when he got some distance below the surface, for he fairly forced the dirt up out of the hole in a tiny Btreatn. In a short time the wasp left the hole and took away the little pile of loose sand from the mouth of the hole. In one of his journeys he ran across a small shavinsr. He turned it over and over repeatedly, and after satisfying himself^apparently, that it would suit his purpose, he seized it in his jaws and carried it to the mouth of the hole. He carefully placed the little shaving over the hole. Then he piled a little mound of sand upon the chip. Later in the day the same wasp seized a worm and dragged it to the den he h id built in the morning. When the hole was reached the wasp relinquished his prey for a moment, removed the shaving from the mouth of his den, and then sprang into tne hole. In a few moments he came back and again seized the squirming worm, which was slowly crawling away. Walking backward, the wasp dragged the worm into the hole. He soon reappeared and immediately began shoveling sand and little pebbles down upon his capture. He then replaced the door agrain, covered it with sand, took to his wings, and flew away.—N. Y. Sun. San. Webster's Great Effort A good story ia told of Daniel Webster regarding a speech he was going to make. On one occasion some Boston friends and admirers sent him, as a present, an enormous plow, to be be used on his place. Webster gave out word that on a certain day it would be christened. The day arrived and the surrounding farmers for miles came in to witness the event. A dozen teams with aristocratic occupants from Boston came down to the christening. It was expected by everyone that Webster would make a great speech on the occasion, reviewing the history of farming back to the time when C'incinnatus abdicated the most mighty throne in the world to cultivate beans and peas in a Roman, garden. The plow was brought out and ten yoke of oxen hitched in front. More than 2J0 people stood sround on the tiptoe of expectation. Soon Webster made his appearance. He had been calling spirits from the vasty deep, and hia gait was somewhat uncertain. Seizing the plow handle and spreading his feet, he called out to the driver in his deep bass voice: "Are you all ready, Mr. Wright?" "All ready, Mr. Webster," was the reply, meaning that all was ready for the speech. Webster straightened himself up by mighty effort and shouted: "Then let her rip!" Tbe crowd roared with laughter, while the great statesman, with his big plow, proceeded to rip up the soil in huge furrows. Not an Expert We weren't there, but we never had reason to doubt the veracity of the gentleman who informs us that Senator Sawyer the other day witnessed for the first time in his life a game of base ball by professionals. At one point in the game the man at the bat knocked the ball away over the heads of the outfielders, and the crowd cheered until Senator Sawyer felt the warmth of enthusiasm rising in his own bosom. "That's too bad," he finally said to the gentleman beside him. "What's too bad?1' "Why, it's too had they didn't have a man there to catch that ball. By George!" said the Senator, warmly, "If I were permanent manager of that club I'd put three more men out there In the field if it cost $2,500 a year."— Washington Post. ~ ' -sr~ I Yesterday came the romsrksble news that the storm was a-bait ing on the fishing grounds,—Pittsburg Cbroaicls.

After that she took a clerk- f ship in a dry goods store in Waterbury, which she kept for three years.' She then went to Bethel to learn the I hatting trade, and became so expert; that she made all the samples, and was: appointed forewoman. The man ID! whose store she had been employed in ' Waterbury proposed to open another I store in Meriden and to give her entire : charge and a good salary. Shej accepted, and did the buying book- : keeping, writing and general managing; but just as the enterprise became a success, the proprietor died and she was thrown out of employment. She then went to Phildeiphia, where Bhe learned cigar making and worked at the trade for three years. She c ime home and obtained a situation as stage driver, going twice a day to meet passengers at the station, five miles distant She managed and often harnessed the two horses, lifted and strapped on to the stage all baggage, and carried the mail. Mr. Kinney, the owner of the stage, says he has never since had his business so thoroughly attended to. At the end of eix months she learned carriage painting here in a factory, and for some time earned $2.50 per day. When work gave out here she went to Hartford, where for a short time she did copying in the office of the fire department. She afterward went into the carpet-sweeper factory, and took the contract for cutting and dovetailing the wood work. Before leaving she made several entire sweepers herself, even to putting the stamp of the maker in large letters on the top. She came home for a rest, and a resident of the village gave her two mustang ponies that he had been unable to manage. They had been harnessed but a few times and were unshod. She caught them in the field, harnessed and drove them, and in a few weeks had them completely under control. Between times this unusual girl has mended shoes, planted tobacco by the acre, ridden the horse with a cultivator, and raked hay with a patent rake. She has laid a new kitchen floor in her father's house, built a veranda for her uncle, and shingled and sided an ioe house for a neighbor. She takes care of the home garden and made and keeps in order the winding walks about her house. She is aiso an adopt at shaving and hair cutting, and waits upon gentlemen at their residences in the village to do this.

"Vlctor>Hugo waa once one of your patrons, I believe," said a k reach writer, M. Planche, to Brassier, a barber of Paris. "Alas! yes," answered the barber. J h e word and the accent surprised the inquirer. "Was it not agreeable, then, to have t h e greatest man In France —the greatest poet of hh? century, perhaps—for a customer?1 ' The barber shrugged his shoulders. "Ah, monsieur, it is one of t h e worst things that can happen to you, to have a great man for a customer. You see, they are not like other men." Then, in order to justify his paradox, h e related a chapter of pergonal experience. "One day a groat lady, Mine, do X , whose hair 1 had dressed, and who was much pleased with my work, said she would recommend me to thirty or more of her friends; and in a day or two she sent mo a- p a p e r containing ail the names and addre sscs of the people, with her recoinmondatioa of me at the bottom." "The recommendation of Mine, dc X ! why, that wad as gnod as a fortune to you, ray good man,1' said M. Planche. "It might have been, sir, but for SL Victor Hugo. Ho was hero the day I received it; he" had sat down in t h e very chair you a r e sitting in now. 1 had just put a towel round his nock, when he seemed to bo seized with some great thought and beckoned i m to let him alone. He drew a pencil from his pocket, took a s l e e t of paper from this table here and began writing. "Ho h a d boon writing about flvo minutes when another customer eamo in. My men wero all busy, so, seeing that M. Hugo had stopped writing to sharpen his pencil, I supped u p to him and said: " 'M. Hugo, if you will pormit mo to begin with you—I am in a hurry.' "Ura! I'm in a hurry, too,1 said ho. "Then ho got up all at once, paper and pencil in hand, and started out of the shop. I called aftar him that h e had the towel round his neek^arru ho took it o!Y.

"But. in'tho afternoon I wanted . tho j papOr which M a o . do X had given mo, and couldn't find it, One of my . men said it had been lying there on i tho table. That was tho paper that M.

F r a n k brown, son of Justice Parley "Brown,who lives three miles souih of Heading, was alone with his wile at his house Wednesday evening when, at nine o cock, he wus called to the door by some one who rapped for admission. On openmg the door he was shot dead by an assassin, who is as yet unknown. The ball entered one eyo and penetrated the braiu. The greatest excitement prevails in tho neighborhood. No trace of the assassin has been ifound beyond some tracks in the muddy • road leading to the depot in Heading und then into the village where they were lost. I t is supposed the villain, fearing he would be tracked, hope to muke it appear t h a t he took a train out of town, but returned and is st 11 in the village or has gone out into the country again. There is not a hint of any possible motive for the dast irdly deed. Every nerve will be strained to solve the dreadful mystery surrounding the crime. Mrs. Brown, wife of the murdered • man, who"was the only one in the houso with him when the shot was tired, ran to a neighbor's and gave the alarm. She did not soe the murderer. The Jiips Try It. T h e secretary of the stato board of health has received from Kimurs, prol'ess- • or at the navy medical school, Tokio, Japan, a medical journal published in Japan • in bo«h the Japanese aud English languages, in which is tho report of the investigation of a malignant disease, which caused irreat excitement, and some cl the people lei t their homes in order to escape the ''horrible pia^uo." Dr. Ivimura received instruction at tho university of Michigan and was familiar with Prof. Vaughan s researches, by which ho dis covered tyrotoxicon- This en b ed the • Japanese medical ameers to carry on an in "vestigation, which resulted in proving that •the disease was due to tyroto\icon poison ing. Theie was an unusually large amo.int of oysters in toe bay and these the people discovered and at..s in large quantities. T : e oysters cont i n e d t h e poison. The people who ate them were made sick and many died. When they learned that tyrotoxicou in the oysters caused the disease they stopped eating the oysicrs and the ''plague'' ceased miraculously. Itassemer Has a Sensation. Joseph Uust nnek, a German shoem iker, >f Bessemer, has for some time quarre.ed •with a Hung irian named John Pustore, and on three occ isious had the latter arrested. At au early hour the other morning Pastore threw a stone through Custannek's bedroom window. Custanuek then went outside to reinonstrde with the Hungarian, when the I. tter attacked bitn with a club. Custaunek bred three shots in the air to frighten Pas'.ore, but when the latter drew a knife the German shot him in the head, killing him instantly. The sympathy oi the community is with C u s t n n e k , as Pastore was qu rrelsome and revengelul. Custannek wus arrested and lodged iu jaiL «. A Life Prisoner Acquitted. The second trial of Oregon Hamilton in Newaygo, for beating his infant child to •death, resulted in his acquittal. The first trial of Hamilton for the crime occurred in M rch, 18>vj, and resulted in a verdict for conviction, and he was sent to the Jackson prison for life. The conviction was brought about through the testimony of Mary Mars!on, a woman whom Hamilton had hired the swore that the father had repeatedly beaten the child in the most brutal manner At the present trial Hamilton introduced a flood of testimony showing the great affection be had for the child, and the trial Oecame so sensational that standing room i n tho opera house, where the trial occurr e d , could hardly be-obtained. The Law to be Tested. Under the new liquor law the county •treasurer summoned Dunham <& Treat, a Nashville saloon firm, to provide a new bondsman, as the treasurer claimed that one of their bondsmen had become a nonresident. T h e saloonkeepers' attorneys have appealed the oase, and base their appeal upo n several different points, important among whioh are two which claim the law 40 60 unconstitutional. One claim is t h a t •the law signed and approved by the Gove r n o r is not the one pasted by the legislature, and another is that the law confers Judiciary powers upon t h e county •treasurer.

Tessa was standing by the window in her favorite primrose gown, with a ribbon of the same hue in her dark hair, cutting the dead flowers off her plants. She greeted Austen with such a sweet welcome, such eager thanks, t h a t he felt amply repaid for his trouble. " W h a t have you been doing with yourself to-day, Tessa?" he asked, as he watched the white fingers placing the flowers in the vases. 4'Did you persuade my mother to go o u t ? " 44No, I could not;" and Tessa looked a little troubled. " W h a t is the matter wLh her, Mr. lievan? Is she always so quiet and sad? I fancied t h a t she looked a little brighter and happier a week or two ago; but lately she has ceased to take any interest in anything, and I can't rouse her at all. Are people always like that, Mr. Bevan"— and Tessa dropped her (lowers and looked up wi hquestioning solemn eyes—"old people, I mean? When one gets t-o near the end of life, does everything seem trivial and worthless?" " N o t always;" and Tessa's troubled look was rejected in Austen's eyes. " T h e n why should it be so with h e r ? " Tessa persisted. " S h e told mo only yesterday that she was very tired"—and the girTs voice dropped, and there was a mist of tears in her e y e s — " t h a t she was only wailing DOW." " W a i t i n g ? For w h a t ? " " F o r death," Tessa answered softly; and thon there was a long pause. "You do not think she looks worse t h a n usual, Tessa?" Austen said at last. Tessa hesitated a moment. " I think," she said, very gently, and gravely, " t h a t she looks as if her h e a r t was broken." Austin looked at her in surprise, and gave a short uneasy laugh. ••Nonsenser' he said impatiently. " W h a t can a child like you know of broken hearts, or of how those look who bear therap " " A h , but 1 do know!"—and l e s s a gave a quaint little nod. " I rememher Sisier Ursula. She was one of t h e nuns in the convent near Charente. Jnladame Frejus, my old governess, a sister there, and I used often, holidays and taint-days* to go up t o the < onvent and talk to the sisters end play with the pupils, and I knew sister 1 rsula very well; she was so good—whe best wo nan that ever lived, I think. Eyery one loved her. The girls always went to her if they were in disgra e or trouble, and t h e people in the village used to beg for her prayers. But for all that—for all she was so sweet and saintly, and so near h e a v e n " — a n d 'lessa'a voice sank and k e r eyes grew misty—"her heart was ,»||tokeu—I know that well enough." ^ ^ u s t e n looked' at the girl's grave curiously. •'Why? Had she some great trou- Dle?w he questioned. ••She had been engaged to a young offlcei\"Tessa answered quielly, " a n d just about the time fixed for their Franco-Prussian war of course went with the front, and, on the very day which was to have been her wedding day, she heard h e had been killed a t Worth.

They said even then she was yery good and patient, and never uttered a word of reproach, and she prayed always; but somehow I know"—and Tessa's voice grew very low and a w e d — " t h a t she had been as near despair in those days as any one can bo and live on. And it was then t h a t that look came into her face. ' " I t is a sad story* Is she living still?" Austen asked. " N o ; she died six months before I left Charente," Tessa answered. "Madame and I had been away for a few days, and when we came back they told us she was dead. We went up to the convent in t h e evening. There was great trouble t h e r e ; the girls were all crying bitterly, and in the chapel the* nuns were weeping and praying, and Madame cried, too; but I was glad," "Glad—whyP'1 "Oh, because I had been so sorry for her! My heart used to ache BO when I saw t h a t hopeleus look on her face; and I knew it must have go^e then. Sister Mary took me into her cell, and I was right—it had quite gone. Her face looked very white and worn and wasted; but the look had left it. There was even a faint smile on her lips. They had crossed her hands upon her breast and placed a cross of flowers over her heart; but I took it away and placed it low down on the mattress beneath her feet. Why should they put a cross when it had fallen from her for evermore? So I took it away, and I placed a crown of great, white, starry flowers just over the place where it had lain on her heart. Sister Mary was kneeling by the bed crying passionately; but I could not cry—I was far too glad. And, while we were there, a little robin, which she had trained to come morning and evening for its food, flew into the room and perched itself upon the bed and sang—Oh, I never heard anything like its song before—it was so beautiful, so full of happiness and hope! And I could not help thinkin'g," Tessa went on, with a wistful look in her eyes, " t h a t the robin knew and was glad as well." A short silence, which neither of them cared to break, followed the last words. Tessa stood, with her hands clasped loosely together and a thoughtful far-off look on her mobile face, watching the sunset clouds. WThi!e she had been speaking a change had passed over the sky. The vivid blue had faded into a softer gray-green tint; the streaks of vermillion and orange were almost lost in a dark purple cloud; and clear and dark against the primrose sky the iir-trees lifted their tall heads. Tessa's dusky head had caught a gleam of gold; her face was flushed, her eyes soft and luminous. Austen felt his heart beat with delight and wonder as he looked at her. Even to his practical unsentimental mind there was something very pathetic in the picture she had drawn of the dead nun lying in her cell, with the wreath of white flowers on the poor heart which had fought and struggled, and found peace at Inst— something very touching, too, in the robin's requiem. Was this the girl whom his sister had called vain and frivolous— who cared for nothing but dress and amusements—who thought of nothing beyond the pleasure of the passing moment? She might be all these, and yet she had seen what he had failed to see—understood what he had failed to understand. He had lived with his mother all his life, and day by day during the last seven years he had seen t h a t look deepen on her face; but he had never understood till now what it meant. And he knew t h a t Tessa was r i g h t — t h a t his mother's heart was breaking for her youngest, bestloved son, who had gone from her into outer darkness—gone with his father's curse upon his head. His face grew hard and cold as he t h o u g h t of it. Tessa looked at him in surprise. " I suppose auntie some great trouble gently. " W h a t was band's death P" "No"—Austen shook his head and his brows contracted—"it was worse trouble by far than that. Shame for the living is ten times worse to bear than any sorrow for the dead can be*! See, dear,"—and he took Tessa's little fingers gently in his o w n — " I will tell you now, BO t h a t you may understand, and then we will not speak of it again. " I have a brother, much—indeed ten years—younger than myself. He was a very handsome clever lad, and, being so much younger than either Prudence or I, was much petted and indulged by our mother. Even as a boy he was always in scrapes and trouble; and it required all my mother's ingenuity to screen him and prevent t h e stories of his escapades from reaching my father's ears. " W h e n he was eighteen he was placed in the bank—in t h e same position t h a t I had occupied when his age. Eventually h e would have been a partmust have had too?1 ' she said it? H e r husner equally with myself, and it was of course necessary t h a t he should understand t h e routine of t h e work. Then t h * troubles at home began. My m o t h e r had contrived to screen his faults when a boy; but t h a t was impossible when he became a man. I don't much care to recall those days, Tessa; they were very miserable for us all, especially for my mother, whose favorite chitd Antony had always been. My father was a very hard stern man—one of the strictest members of our society; he had no sympathy with youth's follies—could find no excuse for Antony's extravagance and reckless ways. " F o r more than t h r e e years this miserable state of things lasted; then the final rupture came. "Antony contracted a friendship with some actors, then playing at the theatre in Pennington. He fell in love with one of the women, and announced his intention of making her his wife. You can imagine my father's wrath. He held actors and plays and everything connected with the theatrical profession in the deepest abhorrence. I had never seen him so deeply moved before. Antony might do as he liked, he said; he was of age, and could please himself; but, if he persisted in this act of suicidal folly, he should never enter his house again. He spoke very quietly and decisively- -and he kept his word. "Antony left home suddenly: and t h r e e days af erward, in spite of my mother's tears and prayers, he married this girl—who did not bear the best of character—openly at the parish church. The news was brought one evening as we were sitting down to dinner. It had been known of course long before by every one but ourselves: but I had been laid up with a strained ankle just then and had not been to business, and no one had dared to tell my father. 1 shall never forget his face as he looked at my mother and told her fiercely that this was h r doing—that her indulgence had ruined the boy. She has never been like herself since," Austen went on with a break in his strong voice—"never lost the scared frightened look that came into her face at the fierce words. Then he called for the Bible where all our names were written, and blotted out Antony's name with an unfaltering hand. " 'He is dead to me—to us all,' he said: 'I would not lift a finger to bring him back now. Let him go, with his father's curse upon his head, and reap the fruits of his disobedience and wickedness!' " T h a t happened seven years a&o," Austen continued gravely; "and we have neither seen nor heard anything of him since then. I do not know whether he is living or dead." Tessa drew a deed sigh. There were tears of pity standing in her eyes. "Oh, poor auntie," she said softly— " n o wonder she looks sad! What a hard, hard man your father must have been!" " H a r d ! He only did what was right; I would* have done the same myself in hie place," Austen said, looking down at the girl with a little surprise. \ His face grew so stern and hard as he said these words that Tessa involuntarily shrank a little away, and her h e a r t beat with a feeling of t i m i d i y quite foreign to her fearless nature. " I should not like to ofTend him deeply," the girl thought; " h e would not forgive very readily I think." Auston noticed the changing face and shrinking gesture. He put out hand and touched the pretty soft hair gently. " T h e r e , lftSfele woman—now you know all our secrets. I have opened the secret cupboard and shown you our family skeleton," he said, in a half-serious half-jesting tone. "Let us lock the door and hide the grisly thing from sight again." TO BE CONTINUED, The Loaded Valentine. Fifty years ago J a m e s Martin, a well-to-do farmer living near Ballietville, Pa., refused to purchase his 15- year-old daughter a dress she very much coveted. T h e daughter was a quick-tempered girl, and on St. Valentine's day she sent him a valentine representing him to be a miser. From that day he never spoke to her. She married and lived on a farm adjoining her father's. WTith her husband and her children F a r m e r Martin was on the kindest and most familiar terms, but he never noticed his daughter. Last week he died. He left an estate valued at $45,000. To his aged widow he left $30,000. To his son-in-law h e bequeathed the remainder of the estate, provided he survived his wife, the farmer's daughter. If t h e son-in-law died first, then the $15,000 was to be divided among his three children. To his daughter F a r m e r Martin bequeathed " a package to be found in his trunk, tied with a green ribbon and sealod with green wax.'' When this was opened it was found to be the unfortunate valentine. S C I E N C E A M P I N D U S T R Y .

The felloes of their wheels are bent and made in two parts. Tue framework of coaches nnd heavy carriages is nearly all made of bent stock. They are not only better, but more cheaply made. Furniture of many kinds has bent frames. The objects of bending are saving of time and stock, stability and strength of the work and beauty of form. It is a business that needs to be well understood, however, to make a success of it. New System of Storing Grain—A New York inventor proposes to revolutionize the present system for the storage of grain and feed products. If his plan is found feasible, the elevator now in use will be permanently done away with, and each farmer and producer will be supplied with a substitute, i in which he will be able to store his : grain for years at small cost and wtthj out risk. The cost of working will j average from four to five cents for each bushel of their capacity, against forty to fifty cents 'now expended on wooden elevators. T h e system involves j {'n ^ h i c h ' i t i s ' a s white as hoar frost!, the use of steel tanks, which will be , J n fche t h i p d g t a f f e > w h e n t Q e B l i r f a c e i f r filled with grain by a simple and new | q u i t e b l a L . k ( u c a n b e i n d o n t e l b y t o S 3 _ ing a stone on the surface; but in walk- Tae Xa:bl3 Pjndt of Pjrtia.

These ponds are contained within the circumference of half a mile, and their position is distinguished by heaps of stones which haver accumulated as the excavations h a v e increased. The process of petrifaction may be traced from its commencement to its termination. In one part t h e water is clear; in a second it appears thicker and somewhat stignant; in a third stage quite black, constrastiojr strongly with the fourth and last stage,. novel process.

The valves are then closed and the grain is in condition to keep uninjured for years. There is no decay where there is no air, and j this principle is the keystone of the new system. Work is soon to be commenced iu machine shops in Chicago for the manufacture of these tanks. American and English Skill—There is an amicable rivalry between , English and American engineers. The j skill which they exhibit is the same, j but its application differs in the two j countries to build. Where American J engineers have been compelled for the day or the morrow, English tfn'jineors have been able to build f.>r the next generation ;ind the century. Hut the extempore s^ill of the American engineer has, in turn, muJiiied the m i s - sive conceptions of their English I brethren, and English structures, such ! as the Forth Bridge, are l a g o l y in- | fluenced by American ido:is and ex- I perience. The cantilever principle is I borrowed from the United Suites, and , is the product of American conditions j of work and Americ m fertility of inj veniion and audacity of construction. Thus the genius and skill of each country supplements that of the other. Jasper—Within two years the jasper industry has been developed, and there are now four quarries employing nearly a thousand men, in operation about Sioux Falls. The market extends from Chicago to Kansas City. Sioux Falls streets are paved with jasper, and h e r four-story buildings are constructed of i t The stone is susceptible of a high degree of polish, and when finished looks much like the red gr nite of Missouri. The pioneer in the jasper industry discovered not long ago that the dust of the jasper, which is half as hard as diamonds, would polish the famous petrified wood of Arizona, and make of it table tops and ornaments more beautiful than agate or onyx. The petrified wood is now brought from Arizona to Sioux Falls by the car load, and polished in a variety of forms. To the jasper industry, the city has added the manufacture of chalcedony. There is a scientific mystery about this socalled jasper. Practically it is all r i g h t Its utility has baen established, but geologically there is no little uncertainty Hbout i t Those who know the most are the least positive in discussing its character. Some of the scientific men who have looked at it call it red quartzite. Professor Wlnchell says it is the hardest stone in the United States for building purposes. T h e grain is very close. The only element to which it succumbs is fire. I t hand*.

"Forethought is e;i«y; repentance is hard." Thus runs the nroverh, and it voices a t?rnnd truth. How many calamities m i g h t he prevented by (loins? what every one sees is a prudent tiling! ' T h e forethought is e;e-y. hut the fore-doing requires, nnssiMy, rr certain amount of energy and -elfdenial. But self-denial is easier than repentance. It is iiard to confess one's self in the wrong ar.d to hear the penalty of a neglect of duty. In practicing self-denial for the sake of some good to he attained, one feels that he is tree, and master of circumstances; but to suffer because of duty and opportunity neglected, is the doom of a slave. Life insurance is one of the Uiings that require forethought. It, must always be secured when the need of it, | (in the ordinary sense) is not apparent. I One must insure against, death when death'seems afar off. He, must consider the risk and provide against it. Like the anchor and the life-boat— which must be provided in fair weather— the Life Policy must be taken -vhen the skies are full of hore and j life seems likely to be long. To ho\y.d many widows repentance comes fori having opposed life insurance! Their i husbands would have insured but for their opposition. But they could n< : bear to think of receiving money hecause of their husbands' death. "They see now that insurance would not have hastened death, and that it would have prevented poverty—the poverty that is so hard upon the children—his children. To all who object to life insurance because the benefit it contemplates is conditioned upon the death of the insured, we commend tin* advantapes of the NEW-YOKK LIFK'S Endowment ami Tontine Policies. These contracts provide benefits to the living at t h e end of certain selected periods, and to the family, in case of death before the pi ;•- iod ends. The chances of living* and the chances of dyinpr, added together, equal a certainty,you may believe the relative values of each to be whatever you please. Hut use your forethought, and so preclude the necesity for 'repentance. For example: repentance would he doubly hard if one should delay insuring until he was uninsurable.

In the spring of 1854 he sold this farm and purchased another on. section 26. about one mile north of thevillage of Cna*1illa, where he resided up io the time of his death. To the people of this community i t seems unnecessary to speak of his many excellent qualities of head and heart. It is not too much to say that he wa& universally respected as widely as his young people a t the home of James ! acquaintance extended.

E. F. Shaw, homeopathic physician, of Dansville, bas decided to locate in this village, and has moved into the pleasant rooms over the Pinckney Exchange Bank. We welcome the doctor and his wife to our pleasant little village, and hope that a liberal share of patronage will be extended to him. He comes highly recommended as a first-class physician. As the evenings are becoming longer each week, why would it not be a good investment for our village fathers to order street lamps erected on the principle streets in this village, at their regular meeting next Monday night? A more beneficia* improvement could not be done than this, especially at this time of year. We believe we speak the sentiment of nearly every citizen in* this Village. to within a few weeks of his death, when, with his lon^ and arduous dui ties well performed, at a ripe old age, he shed the earthly form with its infirmities and passed onward to a higher life shorn of temptations and glorious in opportunities. • w. The sad news was received at thia office yesterday that Mr. S. N. Whitcomb was found dead in his bed at the home of his -on, N. N. Whitcorab, one mile east v this village, that morning. He has been visiting his daughter a t Ithica during the past six months, and had just returned to this place on Monday last. When he retired on the ."v'fning before his death he was feeling unusually well, and his sudden death was a surprise to his relatives and friends. Mr. Whitcomb was 82 years ot ape, and has been a resident of this county for forty-four years. He leaves two children—one son and one daughter, and a large circle of mourning friends. The funeral services will he held in the M.

Stoors, the eminent divine and author, springs from a family of clergy, both his grandfather, father and uncles being prominent ministers. He himself was born in Braintice, Mass., on August 21, 1821, and pursued his preparatory studies at the Mansou academy, Mass., and graduated from Amhurst college in 1839, being the youngest member of his class. Lord Thurlow, under whose leadei'- ship English capitalists are investing in the Black Hills tin mines, is very enthusiastic in h'.s descrip ion of the richness of the tin resources of that region. In a recent communication to the London Financial News he says: " T h a t tin exists on the surface of the Black Hills in unlimited quantities and of remarkable purity, is proved to our satisfaction. To develop this business in the future immei. S'j i apital must be employed, and unlimited amouri! will be forthcoming. America will quarry'its own tin stone out of the Dakota hill sides, will smelt its own ores, will roll its own tin plates, and will put a prohibitive duty on the imports of foreign tin, in pursuance of its policy of fostering its own industries. These things are now inevitable, and will happen as surely as night follows day; and no amount of whining or lamentation from Cornwall or el-ewhere can stop the development of the American tin industry. Whether English investors will bo permitted to participate in the proiits to be derived, remains to be seen.1' A good result of the secret ballot system is, visible in the returns of the late municipal elections in Connecticut. Be ore the adoption of this system the large and small manufacturing towns were practically controlled by friends and favorites of the mill owners, and it was worth a man's situation to oppose the corporation candidate. The secret ballot hast effected a radical change, and empljyes enjoyed the privilege of exercising their own discretion in the choice of a candidate, without fear of discharge. The potent influence of the secret ballot places the control of local affairs in the hands of the eiti; ens. Can any monument be more eloqueni than that which the Society of the Sons of the Resolution are ab nit to erect to Nathan Hale in City Hall park in New York? Nathan Hale was the Connecticut boy. destined for the ministry, who, upon Washington's call, went into the British lines as a spy, and was captured and hanged near the spot where this memorial is to be erected. The statue represents the glorious young patriot with elbows and feet tied, and just before the rope was fastened, and he had uttered these noble words: i*I only regret I have but one life to lose for my count r y . " A CHAPTER FROM SCHOPEHHAHR. Among those summer visitors at Homburg who regularly attended the afternoon concerts on tho Kur Terrace was a lady drossod in deep mourning. She always occupied a bench in one of the most retired spots and listened to the performance of the band with a peculi r, dreamy expression iu her lovely eyes. When she first made her appearance there her slender and distinguished figure and h e r light golden huir ere.••ted quite a sensation, especially among the men. But she maintained her grave reserve determinedly and avoided making herself conspicuous in any way, and, as she was in reality older than she appeared to be at first sight -for her light hair was apt to puzzle the most experienced judge—-this attention soon ceased. Neither did she seek the society of ladies. In short, she preferred to be If ft entirely to her own thoughts, and was never met in company of anybody. A certain occurrence, however, produced an abrupt change in her; during one of the afternoon concerts, while h e r large dark eyes, with, shadows of sorrowful experience over them, were gazing into the distance as usual, she suddenly started with surprise, and a deep blush mounted to her pale face as she beheld a tall man slowly walking down the path near which she was seated. He, was an officer, in a captain's uniform, a man of line form and knightly bearing, with a full dark blonde beard, grave features and deep blue eyes that betokened uncommon gentleness. Ho did not carry a saber, but supported himself upon a cane with a lar^e ivory handle. Ho also showed signs of surprise when, he saw the lady in mourning. He hesitated a moment, as if ho wished to turn back, but finally resumed his walk and bowed towards the bench in a respectful manner, which indicated that he had no intention of renewing an old acquaintance. The lady had hardly noticed this, when she arose hastily iind with agitation, and offered him her hand. "Reinhard!M she exclaimed, and then she corrected herself. "Herr von Nordmann!'1 The officer turned towards hor. There was a look of sorrow iu his eyes and his voice trembled slightly. Taking the offered hand, he said: "I did not know whether it would be agreeable to you. L thought vou j would not recognize me at all." I She sighed, looking at him tenderly and inquiringly, 1 "It is so long ago?'1 she replied, with a smile. '"You remind me of the fact that I have become old. Yes, there is no doubt about that. Twelve years, is it not? But," and her voice began to tremble, "we do not easily j i forget the friends of •our youth. And you did not recognize me at once.1' I "You have retained your youthfulness tetter than I. I am crippled, partially, at least: a keepsake of 1S7".11 i "Were you in Ihc war? I was sur- ! prised to see you in a uniform.'1 "You would not have thought the tender little boy capable of that, would you? Yes, men never know how they will change. I did not lovo the soldier's profession, but the fatherland called mo and my aversion was conquered. I don't make sentimental verses now, for you to smile at. My private studies are of even a graver nature than yours wore. Do you still study Schopenhauer, mtdam?1 1 j Ho looked at her sharply, but he i showed no emotion. j After a little while she smiled suddenly and shook her head. ! "Mot in the lc 1st,11 she said, 'T read only novels now.'1 "At that time you ridiculed me because I1' Three million acres of Indian land, valued at fifty million dollars, wiil be added lo the public domain in Minnesota this year, iho ceded land including a large area of pine forests. The moncyjjerived from the sale of the land is to be placed in the national treasury at five per cent interest to the credit of the Indians. A largo proportion of the money will be devoted to schools, and to aid and encourage agricultural pursuits. The remainder of the reservation will be divided on the severalty plan, ihereby forcing the Indians into useful and beneficial occupations. ••BUT WHAT DOES YOUR Ml.'SHAN'D SAY TO THAT?11 "Do you remember that so well? At that time I was a foolish young thing. We look at the world with different eyes after adding twelve years to our ag3.' I "You believed in Schopenhauer, then--I shudder. Madam-—if I am not mistaken, even in Kant. You also loved Darwin." * ! "And now 1 have reconciled myself even with the old-fashioned lyric, and , aquoor feeling overcomes me when I road old Elchendorff, or go astray in the 'Spring Time of Love.' Do you believe t U t ? " T h e lady'e features became grave again, almost stem, and she replied with a frigid voice: " H e is dead. I have been a widow for more tn n two years.1 ' The Captain grew pale; his hand that hold the cane shook violently. He felt as if everything before him was enwrapped in a waving mist; ho walked at the hide of the beautiful woman silently, like one dreaming. She kept her eyes turned downwards and grew still paler than usual. After a time, when they had left the terrace and passed partly through the promenade, she threw an inquiring glance at hor companion and said softly. "Then you know that I marriedP" He nodded without looking at her. "You said, yourself, that it is not easy for us to torget the friends of our youth,11 he replied. "I have not been in the south of Germany sinco then, but I have m e t people in Berlin who knew you.1' "In Berlin?1' "Certainly," he answered, confusedly. "Accidentally, perhaps, just at that time. I never heard of the doath of your husband. It w;<8 accidentally, without doubt. I frequently spoke of you, and in this way I learned that you had m irried a Herr von Wittkowsky. I am grieved to find you a mourner. Please accept my sympathy. Oh, this is your residence?1 ' She had halted in front of one of those little villas that lie in the outskirts of the Kurpark. She looked at him. "Will you promise me to call on me soon?" she said, "or, come to take tea with me this evening. Slay I expect you?'1 " I do not deserve to be treated so kindly. 1 have become more sedate, Hortense, and I am just as tedious as I was at that time—perhaps more so.11 "You are coining. I expect you, even if vou were the most tedious of all mortals We will talk of the time of our youth; that will be a better entertainment for us than all tho pleasures of society. I expect you at 7 o'clock. Good day, Captain." She gave him her hand and disappeared behind the vines that ornamented the porch of the house. Ho looked after her as if ho were in a dream, waiting a little. Then he w Iked up the short, steep street to tho hotel in which he had taken his quarters. i lie came to tea on that evening, and b e c a m e on all the following evenings. Hereafter the pretty blonde lady nttended the afternoon concerts in company of the tall ollicer with the Crown Prince beard. And when they were seen together on the lonely paths of the spruce park, or driving to Salburg, or the Marblestone, it was said, in those circles whose interest the lady in mourning had excited, that tho Captain was a lucky fellow. But Keinhard was not happy amidst all this good luck. He w.is seen sitting on tho most lonely benches of the Kurgarten iu a thoughtful mood, and when he was at home ho usually walked about in his room uneasily, in spite of the pain that his wound caused him, as if he had a hard battle to fight with himself. Even in presence of the pretty woman an uneasiness sometimes overcame him, and when Hortense looked at him in surprise and asked him a gentle question she received no reply. One evening about a week after their meeting, they were seated in Hortense^ cosy salon. The tea was beginning to diffuse its pleasant se mt through the room. They had just returned from a walk to the Hardt, and Hortense seemed to be in an excited frame of mind. During their conversation she had spoken of her husband to him at length for the first time. Keinhard knfcw now that her marriage had been a very unhappy one; that the nine years which she had passed at the side of a selfish and rough man had been but a series of disappointments, insults and tortures to her. Tho recollection of that time had excited her to such a degree that she had shed tears. Her eyes were red, her breath quick, and her hands trembled as she served the tea. While silently seated together in this way her tears suddenly began to flow again, and she pressed both hands to her face passionately. Keinhard was deeply moved. Tho. pity arising within him mado him forget the intentions which he had formed only that very morning. He seized her gently by her wrists and said in a tender and consoling tone: "Hortense, compose yourself. T h a t is all past now. Your sorrows have* come to an end." And then he was frightened, for her "not head rested on his breast, and h e r soft and silky hair almost touched his lips. "Oh, Reinhard," Hhe sobbed, "why diant with wild joy, »4we are too foolish ehildrwi. We have never done anything but ^uwrrel, and still we have; always loved one another BO much. Yes, you blind man, I have not loved you less than you loved me. I married, H e r r von Wittkowsky because betwooed me, and because my relatives', persuaded me; because ray heart revolted and despaired; because I hated you for your faithlessness. I was n o t blind. 1 saw only too well that y o u courted me, but the love letter*, which. -expected with so much certainty,. iled to arrive. You did not care for m e any louger.11 , " B u t Schopenhnuer—your Schopenh a u e r , " he stammered. "Your eight pages have probably r e - mained where you placed them." He looked at hor with an expression of astonishment. "But how is t h a t An hour later Hortense received tho j possible—how is that possible?" he did It not turn out otherwise? How often have I thought of t h a t during my time of suffering. If we bad found each other then, Keinhard, what years of happiness we would have had." Ho kissed her head, pressed her touderly into the corner of the sofa, and arose. She saw him go to the open window and look out into the darkness. She did not follow him, but her heart throbbed quicker and quicker, and she kept her eyes on him with passionate anxiety. Finally, ho turned around, and said: / T " I t is impossible for me to talk Is/ fa you. Allow me to write to guxC and to leave you now. Farewell, Hor- ! tense." He made a motion as if he wished to give her his hand, but changing his mind suddenly, he bowed und left the room. promised letter. She had remained in j the same crouching position on the sofa, tortured by the most contradictory feelings. At times she thought that Keinhard had offended her, then again she stretched out her arms for him longingly, and came very near following him. Finally, sho decided that sho would never see him again, and return his letter without opening it- W h e n the letter arrivod, she took it from the girl's hand eagerly, threw the envelope to tho floor, and glanced over the lines without stopping at the single words. Ho had not written much, but what a storm it raised within her! It was thus: " D E A K M A D A M : The words which escaped you this day havo made me immeasurably happy, and at the same time immeasurably miserable. The most beautiful dream of my life has become real, but thereby also h a s been decided that battle in my heart which has filled me with thoughts of flight during the last few days. "J have no feelings of resentment, my dear Hortense, but the thought is intolerable to me that you should begin to value me only after another man has made you unhappy. Perhaps you will believe me to be exaggerating again, but it is best for us to obey tho warning voice of our conscience. "In former days you ridiculed my feminine ways, my enthusiasm for lyrics, poetry . nd all those,. Utile sentimentalities of my youthful y e a r s . That grieved me all th.s more bee uise I loved you passionately, lint a mite of hope remained in me, and it was this that tempted mo to write to you and express my feedings toward you. "Do you remember the quarrel which separated us? You smiled at my little gold-lined book of poetry, and when 1 asked you what literature you WVA'C reading at tho time, you answered proudly, "Schopenhauer.'1 I felt as if cold water had been poured over me. And still I was tempted, in the last hour that I was to be with'" you, to write those tender confessions and questions that were never answered. 1 stole, like a thief, into tho room which your uncle had set apart for you. I do not call it your room, for at the time I shuddered at the thought that you were capable of sleeping beneath those pistols and y a t a g a n s which I saw. And there, before me, stood the bookcase containing all the names which you knew so well—Kant, Darwin, Humboldt, Schopenhauer—I shuddered again, but I took Schopenhauer and placed my eight pages of love into it. They were never answered, Hortense. You probably despised me all the more after that. A year later I heard of your engagement ivith Herr von Wittkowsky. "I am of a quiet disposition, Hortense, but 1 could never conquer my love for you; it will accompany me through my lifetime. "Farewell, and may you be happy. You could not love mo then because you undervalued me; now you overvalue me because your heart is excited by sorrow. "But, whatever may be tho cause, I love you, and always shall love you. Your "KKiNHAun."1 When Hortense had finished glancing tho letter over, sho arose hastily and called for her maid. "Quick, my cloak and hood!1' The girl looked at her with surprise; sho had never seen her mistress so excited before. Not even a look into the mirror, and tho lovely, shining hair was hanging loose beneath the black lace hood. Sho descendod the stairs and walked up the street hurriedly, until Josef a* could discern no more of 'nor. Where was sho going so late at night? To tho blonde officer? A few minutes later, Hortenso stood at Keinhardt's door, hor heart beating wildly. Another minute sho stood before him. He was confused and could not utter a word, but ho did not withdraw his hands from hers when she seized thorn. "Keinhard.1 1 she said; her eyes rasaid. WHKKE WAS SHE GOING SO LATE? " T h a t is very simple. I have never read Schopenhauer in all my life, n o r Kant, nor Darwin. The bookcase was the property of my poor cousin, and I merely wished to tease you with the name—wild and fooiish school girl that I was. Forgive that untruth, Keinhard, I havo done hard penanco for it. Forgive mo. I have never undervalued you; I have always loved j you. Many a time 1 felt as if 1 must J embrace and kiss you, because you I never made any advances, because you j were so bashful and always talked of ! verses and books, that was what excited me to tease you. I was a wild school girl. Forgive me. " "And I a fooiish boy,11 ho said, placing his arms around her and dr i\ving her towards him. "But I will not let you part from me now, and we will, both of us, be; more sensible in the future. My sweet wife, I believo I Ciimo very near making another mist a k e . " "So do I, Keinhard, but fortunately I am past my school-girl , days now, [ and if you Lave no objections, we will ' pack our trunks to-morrow or tho day after, and journey to my uncle's place at Sontheim."1 j " T o Sontheim?11 he asked. [ "Whenever. 1 visit my uncle I oeeu- ' py tho old place as yot." ; "And shall we read Schopenhauer j together now?'' "Yes, my love—at least the beautiful chapter which you inserted.11 ] She smiled and kissed him, and withdrawing herself from him glided ' away swiftly with a tender "good night.11 He stood there, as in a dream, for a long time, and ho asked himself whether it was a space of twelve years or a day —one day of anxiety—which was coming to an end now. *17SS—ISfiO, A distinguished philosopher who, in spite of his pessimist! views, exercised a pre;it influence by virtuo of his masterly language and power of brilliant illustration, 3lis life and works have received unusual attention, and have been silted and discussed a great doal during the years in which the cenrcnnial of his birthday occurred—Translui or.

Polyandry is thut species of polygamy in which the wife h a s more husbands than olio, and it prevails wherever the Thibetan lun^uatje is spoken, even in districts on the Indian aide of the mountains. Polyandry is found in many other places, such as the interior of Ceyion, amoug t h e Todas and Nairs of Southern India, Iroquois, and aboriginal Tiusmaniaus; but Thibetan polyandry has the peculiarity that t h e husbands are all brothers, or at least very nearly related, so that the woman becomes the wife of a whole family. I t does not appear to be in anyway connected with t h e Thibetan religion, but to owe its existence to the poverty of the country and the desire to limit t h e population, rich and poor, and it is only superseded by polygamy, o r multiplicity of wives, where the people have been much in contact witl£ Hindoos or Mohammedans. Turner, the second of Warren Hastings' envoy to Thibet, says that th i number of husbands is not rehtrii'ied or defined. At Teshu Lumbo, t h e residence of t h e Teshu Lama, h o has "t*-icnown a family of five brothers livinghappily with one wife, and ho thinks this probably is t h e practical limit. The children are regarded as scions of the house, rather than of any individual member of it; all the husbands a r e treated as the fathers of the children, and there is no noticeable difference in the relation^ of a child to the different fathers. T h e surplus women I d t by the system, are provided for i n the Lama nunneries, where they learn to read and copy t h e Thibetan Scriptures and to engage in religious services. The choice of a wife for a family is the right of the older brother, and the contract he makes involves marriage contracts with all the other brothers. The system is said to have existed in Thibet since prehistoric time, so that its origin is lost in antiquity. I t h a s been suggested that it arose in a state of society where men were forced to be away from homo, and where t h e duty of protecting the family would fall on the brothers in turn, .vl'iie notabl .• benefit is that it restricts population iu regions where emigration is dillleult and where the means of subsistence cannot be easily increased.— London Globe,.

"We S"A warrant every In t h e J)xvk Daey Se:i. It has long been known that the daylight cannot penetrate for any great distance into the depth of the sea or our deeper lakes. There has bjon, howover, much discrepancy iu t h e r e - suits of experiment*). A Swiss investigator, M. Asper, has recently combined his researches with those of J'rof. F. A. Forrell, and come to some interesting conclusions concerning the penetration of daylight into the waters of the Swiss lakes. The method of t h e experiments is interesting. Ily moans Of a somewhat complicated apparatus, a rapid gelatiu-brOiuide piate was. wii.li proper protection, lowered to the depth desired desired, exposed for ten minutes and then withdrawn for developmjnt. The. results of several trials appear to establish the general conclusion that ^ in the bake (Jeneva iu tho month of September the amount of daylight a t the deptivof 170 metres below the surface is abomV4ho same as the li^ht pcrceived of a clear -night when ihere is no moon. Similar experiment:- e:u"r:ed on in t h e Mediterranean apptjar to show that in the middle of "-a... bright sunlit di'y perfect darkness is attfttuod at t h e depth of ;5iJi) metres. Thus "at--LJ less tlmn loOO feet we probably pass below the level where sunlight h a s any sensible inllueuce on tho life which the waters contain. As most of the sea floor, probably more than ][)-20 of its area, has greater depth tlmn 1,:)00 feet, we may a s - sume that in general the life of the seabottom has to live in utter darkness, a, gloom practically as deep as that of a cavern. As over half tho earth's surface is covered by water to a. greater depth than 1,300 feet, it follows that more than half of the earth receives no direct effect from sunlight, Tho experiments on bake Geneva appear to show a seasonal variation in the transparency of the waters, there being a diirerenee of twenty or thirl •; metres iu the penetration of light, th:; sun's rays attaining the greatest depth in March aud the least in August. T h e <1 it re re nee in the penetration of light into tho waters of the Mediterranean and those of Lake Geneva appear* ;o indicate that the latter basin contains -'in. its waters, despite t h e apparent clearness of the thud, a certain small amount of organic matter.—Xew York •Journal. Rules for a Kaiuy Day. If tho umbrella is at tho "other end of the line," bear it patiently. Some other umbrella will do ju^fc as well. Be sure and inform every one you meet that "it rains.''' Otherwise they might remain iu ignorance of the damp fact. Waterproof garments may be depended upon to shod water upon other folks. That seems to be tho chief objjoct of their existence. Do not allow any ventilation in a horse c a r on a rainy morning. I t tnight exhilarate tho passengers to deeds of violence. Carry your umbrella very carefully and you can just manage to drain one quarter section of it down the back of t h e person who is so unfortunate as to »bc ahead of you. H e will appreciate this,—Hartford Post. $$#i..'jj'y ';<''i'|fV piece of frooda aa f & V f r ^ T A represented, or . -, * , •«% ;.< ; -ft tfX'n ey refu nd- ''"f*'^V.J*£y^fi cd. bee our r o rV-'':N,l-v!" ..-vi^Ailrenees.

When the reichstag met in 1'87, t h e foremost object was tbe consolidation of the defensive powers of the fatherland. Your co operatiou to this end will again be claimed. In order to develops the efficiency of the army, its readiness ior action in accordance with whatever circumstances may arrive, will thoreby impart to the efforts of the emperor and bis exalted allies for the preservation of peace the weight which is their due in the council of nations. A bi.l will be presented by the m e n t amending the military law. prov.de for a fresh distribution army, and is intended to readjust, interest of the training and conduct of the army, the inequalities of organization whrich have ansed t irough. strengthening t h e army and tho disp.acement of troops from time to t me. From this cause, and ttie corresponding expansion of the naval power arises the additional expenditure sot forth in the budget. In hi ist Africa, th tuks to the approval of the reichstag, thorough measures for the suppression of the slave trade and the protection of German interests have been taken. The forces organized have, conjointly w i t h the navy, so far accomplished their tusks, rendering it again |>ossible, after agreement with the other participating powers, to raise the blockade. The sultan of Zanibar. moreover, has issued comprehensive decrees promising to insure the abolition of slavery. The hopes expressed by the emperor to t h e reichstag on November 2*3, 18?s, that w i t h God s help the peace of Europe wouid be sustained, have not only been realized, b u t have gained strength as regards the future, owing to the personal relations which the emperor has since cultivated w i t h the rulers of friendly allies, thereby help.ng to strengthen the confidence felt abroad in the honest love of peace animati n g Germ ny's policy and justifying the belief that European peace, based on the existing treaties, God helping, will be maintained during lb90. The budget presented to the reichstag increases the army charges 140,000,000 mar.vs, including \, 1,000,000 marks for the artillery. The naval estimates are increased iki,000,000 marks.

Life Insurance and Women. What an inestimable boon life insurance is to women! Until it was elaborated and found feasible, there was no method by which a man could provide for his family in case of his premature death. Every man stood alone, and if he died he d r a p e d down bis family with him, if not into the#rave, at least into poverty, Life insurance enables every family to shar» in the general productiveness of human life, even though the husband and- father may not live beyond his prime. Under the operation of this beneficent system, over five hundred million dollars have been paid by American life companies to the widDws, orphans and other representatives of deceased policy holders. In view of the poverty and distress which have been the portion of the widow from time immemorial, and in view of the comparative ease with which this poverty and distress can now be .pruarded against, as is demonstrated before the world every day, it seems almost increditable that women should oppose, or men ever neglect, life insurance. The family of the man who dies uninsured is worse off now than before life insurance was known. Little sympathy is felt for those who suffer from calamities wljich might have been easily ayoided/and resrrets for neglect of tho dictates ot prudence must be as deep a^/fbey are unavailing. Let woman rejoice that life insurance recognizes her rights, and that the life policy secures/hem. Let man rejoice that the life policy gives him the power to protect those whom he loves. / Let both remember that it is a practical matter,which puts great blessincrs within their reach, but requires their pratical eb-operation in order to be of real benefit to them.

FDJCKNEY : : MICHIGAN i; Seth Low, President of the famous Columbia college in New York, was b o p in Brooklyn, N. Y., on January 5th 1850 and was graduated from Columbia college in 1870. The election of Mr. Low is keartily co Amended, and it is certain that his best services will be given to his atoia mater. An incident of the banquet given to the Czar of Russia by Emperor William in Berlin on the occasion of the former'8 visit there recently, will strengthen the war scare which the alarmists are agitating BO zealously. When the Czar's health was proposed b j the Emperor in German, which the Czar speaks fluently, he responded briefly aDd indifferently in French, a language now tabooed at the German court. That this was done intentionally there can be no doubt, the object of the Russian autocrat being to show that he was still dissatisfied with Germany, and that he regarded France as /his best friend. It seems odd enough / that in this age, such little, peurile / freaks of one man should have such J immense political importance, but important they will be as long as there are men whose individual word can eet in motion a miliirta soldiers. The Russian oil wells along the shore of the Caspian Sea, the yield of which has exceeded in quantity the most noted wells in Pennsylvania, have exhausted the subterranean store of oil from which their production has been drawn. Russia's loss will be gain to the western part of this country. Russia has been this country's greatest rival in the petroleum market There is a gradual failure of the oil wells of Pennsylvania, but to compensate for this failure, great diseoveries of oil have been made in Wyoming. Eastern capital is already reaching out towards the western oil fields, and if the supply at the east becomes comparatively exhausted, the west will be able to build up a great industry, which will increase the wealth oJ that section in a manner at V once £ ratifying and satisfactory. Cornwall, in England, has been •oted since the days of the Phoenicians for its wealth of metals. Its Mines have been worked so long as to have produced a special class of men to whom it is second nature to spend their lives under ground, a class of men who make in Michigan not only excellent miners but excellent citizens. Although Cornwall has been worked for ages, they are still making new finds there. The latest is a large deposit of the rare and valuable metal uranium, which was discovered first 100 year ago by a German mineralogist, who foreseeing how precious It would become, named it for Uranus, the planet then but recently discovered. Its principal use is^fco color glass and china. During the past nine months of the fiscal year there has been, as compared with, a corresponding time last year, an increase of fourteen per cent in the number of business failures throughout, the country. There has also been an increase of fourteen per cent in the assets involved, and of twenty-one per cent in the liabilities. The laiffe increase in the latter item is due to the wrecking of a few firms w-hoee debts were heavy, which brougkt the general average beyond the raiic C\ 1888. Generally speaking, howe*«r> business is more active than last year, mi the outlook is decidedly better. HOW BE BEATTHE DEVIL. Daniel was a very wretched man. As he sat with his head bowed upon Jais desk that evening he made up his mind that bis life had been a failure. "I have labored long and diligently," said be to himself, "and although I am known throughout the city as an industrious and shrewd business man I am still a poor man and bhall probably continue so to the end of my days— unless " Here Daniel stopped and shivered. For a week or more he had been brooding over his unhappy lot. There seemed to be but one way out of his trouble, yet his soul revolted from taking that step. That was why he stopped and shivered. "But," he argued, "I must do something! My nine children are growing up into big boys aud girls. They must have those advantages which my limited means will not admit of! All my life so far has been pui-e, circumspect, and rigid; poverty has at last broken my spirit—I give up the tight— I am ready to sell my soul to the devil!" "The determination is a wise one,1' said a voice at Daniel's elbow. Daniel looked up and beheld a grim-visaged stranger in the chair beside him. The stranger was ariuyod all in black, and he exhaled a distant odor of sulphur. "Am I to understand," asked the stranger, "that you are prepared tow enter into a league with the devil?" "Yes," said Daniel, firmly; and he set his teeth together after the fashion of a man who is not to be moved from his purpose. "Then I am ready to treat with you," said the stranger. "Are you the devil?11 asked Daniel, eying the stranger critically. "No, but I am authorized to enter into contracts for him,11 explained the stranger. "My name is Beelzebub and I am my master's most trusted agent.11 "Sir," said Daniel, "you must pardon me (for I am loathe to wound your feelings), but one of the rules governing my career as a business man has been to deal directly with principals and never to trust to the offices of middlemen. The affair now in hand is one concerning the devil and myself, and between us two and by us two only can the preliminaries be adjusted.11 "As it so happens," explained Beelzebub, "this is Friday—commonly called hangman's day—and that is as busy a time in our particular locality as a Monday is in a laundry or as the first of every month is at a bookkeeper's desk. You can understand, perhaps, that this is the devil's busy day; therefore be content to make this deal with me, and you will find that my master will cheerfully accept any i contract I may enter into as his agent and in his behalf." But no—Daniel would not agree to this; with the devil himself, and only the devil himself, would he treat. So he bade Beelzebub go to the devil and make known his wishes. Beelzebub departed, much chagrined. Presently back came the devil—and surely it was the devil this time—there could be no mistake about it, for he wore a scarlet cloak and had cloven feet and • carried about with him as many suffocating smells as there are kinds of brimstone, sulphur, and asafetida. The two talked over all Daniel's miseries; the devil sympathized with Daniel, and ever and anon a malodorous, gummy tear would trickle down the devil's sinister nose and drop off on the carpet. "What you want is money," said the devil. "That will give you the comfort and the contentment you crave." # "Yes," said Daniel, "it will give me every opportunity to do good.p "To do good!11 repeated t$ie devil. To do good,,indeed! Yes, iVs many a good time we shall have together, friend Daniel! Ha, ha, ha!" And the devil laughed uproariously. Nothing seemed more humorous than the prospect of "doing good" with the devil's money! But Daniel failed to see what the devil was so jolly about. Daniel was not a humorist; he was, as we have indicated, a plain business man. It was finally agreed that Daniel should sell his soul to the devil upon condition that for the space of twentyfour years the devil should serve Daniel faithfully, should provide him with riches, and should do whatsoever he was commanded to do; then, at the end of the twenty-fourth year, Daniel's soul was to pass into the possession of the devil and was to remain there forever, without recourse or benefit of clergy. Surely a more horrible contract was never entered into! "You will have to sign your name to this contract,11 said the devil, producing a sheet of asbestos paper upon which all the terms of the diabolical treaty were sot forth exactly. ••Certainly," replied DanleL "I have been a business) man long enough to know the propriety and necessity of written contracts. And as for you, you must of course give a bond for the faithful execution of your part of this business.'1 "That is something I have never done before," suggested the devil. "I shall insist upon it," said Daniel, firmly. "This is no affair of sentiment, it 1B strictly aud coldly business—you are to do certain service and are to receive certain reward therefor M "Yes, your soul!'1 cried the devil, gleefully rubbing his callous hands together.' 1 Your soul in twenty-four years!11 "Yes,11 said Daniel. "Now, no contract is good unless there is a quid pro quo.1' "That's so,11 said the devil, "so let's get a lawyer to draw up a paper for me to sign.11 •'Why a lawyer? queried Daniel. "A contract is a simple instrument; I, as a business man, can form one sufficiently binding.1' "But I prefer having a lawyer do i t " urged the devil. "Aud / prefer to do it myself," said Daniel. When a business man once gets his mind set, not even an archemediau lever could stir it. So Daniel drew1 up the bond for the devil to sign, and this bond specified that in case the devil failed at any time during the next twenty-four years to do whatso Daniel commanded him, then should the bond which the devil held against Daniel become null and void, and upon that same day Bhould a thousand and one eouls be released forever from the devil's dominion. The devil winced; he hated to sign this agreement, but he had to. An awful clap of thunder ratified the abominable treaty, and everyjblack cut withing a radius of 100 leagues straightway fell to frothing and to yowling grotesquely. Presently Daniel began to prosper; the devil was a faithful slave, and he Berved Daniel so artfully that no person on earth suspected that Daniel had leagued with the evil one. Daniel had the finest house in the city, his wife dressed magnificently, and his children enjoyed every luxury wealth could provide. Still, Daniel was content to be known as a business man; he deported himself modestly and kindly; he pursued with all his old-time diligence the trade which in his earlier days he found : so unproductive of riches. His indifference to the pleasures which money put within his reach was passing strange and it caused the devil vast uneasiness. "Daniel,1* said the devil one day, "you're not getting out of this thing all the fun there is in it. You go poking along in the same old rut with never a suspicion that you have it in your power to enjoy every pleasure of human life. Why don't you break aw.iy from the old restraints? Why doi^t you avail yourself of the advantages at your command?" "I know what you're driving aV1 said Daniel, shrewdly. "Politics!" "No, not at all," remonstrated the devil. "What I mean is fun—gayety. Why not have a good time, Daniel?" "But I am having agood time,11 said Daniel. "My business is going all right. I am rich. I've got a lovely home, my wife is happy, my children are healthy and contented, I am respected— what more could I aek? What better time could I demand?11 "You don't understand me," explained the devil. "What I mean by agood time is that which makes the heart merry and Keeps the soul youthful and buoyant—wiffe, Daniel! Wine, and the theater, and pretty girls, and fast horses, and all that sort of happy, joyful life!" "Tut, tut, tut!" cried Daniel; "no more of that, sir! I sowed my wild oats in college. What right have I to think of such silly follies—I, at 40 years of age, and a business man, too?" " So not even the devil himself could persuade Daniel into a life of dissipation. All you who have made a study of the business man will agree that of all'human beings ho is the hardest to swerve from conservative methods. The devil groaned and began to wonder why he had ever tied up to a man like Daniel—a business man. Pretty soon Daniel developed an ambition. He wanted reputation, and he told the devil so. The devil's eyes sparkled. "At last,11 murmured the devil with a sigh of relief; "at last!11 "Yes.1; said Daniel, "I want to bo known far and wide. You must build a church for me.'1 "What!11 shrieked the devil. And the devil's tail stiffened up like a soro thumb. "Yes,11 said Daniel, cnlmly; "you must btiild a church for mo, and it must be the largest and the handsomest church in the city. The sittings shall be free, and you shall provide the funds for its support forever." The devil frothed at his mouth and issued from his ears and nostrils. He was the maddest devil ever seen on earth. '•I won't do it!" roared the devIL 4Do you suppose I'm going to upend my time building churches and stultifyiug myself just for the sake of gratifying your idle whims? I won't do it —never!1' "Then the bond I gave is null and void," said Daniel. •'Takeyoi'i1 old bond,11 said the devil, petulantly. "But the bond you gave is operative' 1 continued Daniel. "So release the thousand aud one souls you owe me when you refuse to obey me." "Oh, Daniel!" whimpered the devil, "how can you treat me so? H iven't I always been good to you? Haven't I given you riches and prosperity? Does no sentiment of friendship—" •'Hush,'' Baid Daniel, interrupting him. "1 have already told you a thou- Band times that our relations were simply those of one business man with another. It now behooves you to fulfill your part of our compact; eventually I shall fulfill mine. Come, now, to business! Will you or will you not keep your word and save your bond?11 The devil was sorely put to his trumps. But when it came to releasing a thousand and one souls from hell— ah, that staggered him! He had to build the church, and a noble one it was, too. Then he endowed the church, and finally he built a parsonage; altogether it was a stupendous work, and Daniel got all the credit for it. The preacher whom Daniel installed in this magnificent temple was severely orthodox, and one of the first things he did waa to preach a series of sermons upon the personality of the deviJ, wherein he inveighed most bitterly against that person and his work. By and by Daniel made the devil endow and build a number of hospitals, charity schools, free baths, libraries, and other institutions of similar character. Then he made him secure the election of honest men to office and of upright judges to the bench.. It almost broke the devil's heart to do it, but the devil was prepared to do almost anything else than forfeit his bond and give up those one thousand and one souls. By this time Daniel came to be known far and wide for his philanthropy and his piety. This gratified him, of course; but most of all he gloried in the circumstance that he was a business man. "Have you anything for me to do today?" asked the devil one mornine. He had grown to be a very meek and courteous devil; steady employment in righteo,us causes had chastened him to a degree and purged away somewhat of the violence of his nature. On this particular morning he looked hacrgard and ill—yes, and he looked, too as blue as a whetstone. "I am not feeling robust,11 explained the devil. "To tell the truth. I am somewhat ill." "I am sorry to hear it," said Daniel, "but as I am not conducting a sanitarium I can do nothing further than express my regret that you are ailing. Of course our business relations do not contemplate any interchange of sympathies; still I'll go easy with you to-day. You may.go up to the house and look after the children; see that they don't smoke cigarettes or quarrel or tease ' the cat or do anything out of the way.11 Now that was fine business for the devil to be in; but how could the devil help himself? He was wholly at Daniel's mercy. He went groaning about the humiliating taste. The crash came at last. It was when the devil informed Daniel onrc day that he wasn't going to work for him any more. "You have ruined my business," said ' the devil, wearily. "A committee of j imps waited upon me last night and I told me that unless I severed my connections with you a permanent suspension of my interests down yonder would ', bo necessitated. While I have been ; running around doing your insane ' errands my personal business has gone ! to the dogs—I wouldn't be at all surprised if I were to have to get a new plant altogether. Meanwhile my reputation has sulTered; lam not longer respected and the number. of my recruits is daily becoming smaller. I can make no further sacrifice.11 Then you are prepared to forfeit your bond?" asked Daniel. "Not by any means," replied the devil. "I propose to throw the-mat- j ter into the courts.11 "That will hardly be to your interest," said Daniel, "since, as you well know, wo have recently elected honest men to the bench, and, as I recollect, most of our judges are members in good st mding of the church we built some years ago!" The devil howled with rage. Then, presently, he began to whimper. "For the last time," expostulated Daniel, "let me romind you that sentiment does not enter into this affair at all. We are simply two business parties co-operating in- a businear scheme. Our respective duties are. exactly defined in the bond* You keep your contract and! miue. Let me see, I still bat gin of thirteen years." The devil groaned and writhl "They call me a dude," whimpered the deviL "Who dof" asked Daniel "Beelzebub and the rest," said the deviL "I have been trotting around doing pious errands so- long that I've lost all my sulphur-and-brimstone flavor, and now I smell like spikenard and myrrh." ••Pooh!" eaid Daniel. ty> "Well, I do," insisted the deviL "You've humiliated me so that I hain't got any more ambition. Yes, Daniel, you've worked me shamefully hard!'1 "Well," said Daniel, MI have a very distinct suspicion that when, thirteen years hence, I fall into your hands I shall not enjoy what might be called a sedentary life.11 The devil plucked up at this suggestion. "Indeed you shall uot," he muttered. "I'll make it hot for you?" "But come, we waste time," said Daniel. "I am a man of business and I cannot fritter away the precious moments parleying with you. I have important work for you. To-morrow i» Sunday; I want you to see that all the saloons are kept closed." ••1 shan't—I won't!11 yelled the deviL "But you must," said Daniel firmly. "Do you really expect me to do that.^ roared the devil. "Do you. fancy that I am so arrant a fool as to shut off the very feeders whereby my hungry hell is supplied? That would be suicidal!" "I don't know anything about tnat,1* said Daniel. "I am a business man* and by this business arrangement of ours it is explicitly stipulated " "I don't care what the stipulations are!" shrieked the devil. "I'm through with you, and may"I be consumed by my own fires if ever again I have anything to do with a business man!" The^upshot of it all was that the devil forfeited his bond, and by this act Daniel was released from every obligation unto the devil and one thousand and one souls were ransomed from the torture of the infernal fires.—Eugene Field. _ "BenHur" at Home. Of the most prominent writers who are singularly fortunate in their domestic relations, the author of "Ben Hur" is a striking example, says the Woman's Journal. Herself a writer of more than average ability, and possessed of an accurate literary judgment, Mrs. Wallace is an invaluable assistant to her husband in his work. She is a tireless worker, rapid yet very painstaking, and is aa expert at proof-reading. General Wallace is himself his severest critic, and after an incident or chapter has been written, re-cast probably a dozea times, and criticised from every standpoint, it is given to Mrs. Wallace, and runs the gauntlet of her critical judgment. There is a singular harmony of tastes between the two, and io this wise the literary partnership ia productive of the most satisfactory results. The home of the Wallaces is> in Crafordsville, Ind., and contains every comfort They have already made a great deal of money with their pens, and are destined to make much more. Almost anything General Wallace chooses to write is an assured succes, and he can therefore command high prices for his work. The sales of "Ben Hur" alone have brought him over $30,000, and its success has also made "The Fair God" a fast selling book. For hU "Boyhood of Christ" and his biography of President Harrison he received very b\g payments, while for his new fiovel h*. will be paid what to many would b * /W snug little fortune.

It was a party given in the country at the house of a most pious family, says the Boston Courier. A worldly minded niece had come for avlBit, and It was felt that something should done to entertain her, even at the pense of the sober traditions or family. The neighbors had there been gathered together in the part to entertain themselves in a house where cards or dancing would be considered sinful and the most innocent amusements frivolous. By the time supper was announced everybody was bored almost to death, and they filed into the diningroora with a grave and melancholy air, as if they were being led to execution. When they were within and ready to begin, the voice of the old family parrot was heard piping from some unseen oorner: "Let us pray."

How England Is Forcing a Largo Trade—The Slave Traffic. of trade with Africa, have not met wittir that degree of success which the most sanguine had hoped for, says.tbe Iron Agp. Not many years ago a prominent New York merchant became quite enthusiastic respecting the prospects of Liberia, sending out sugar •milla, enoouragingr coffee culture, and aiding in the deportation of American negroes, but the so-called "republic" •now exists scarcely in name. la like manner a steamship project which for a time engaged the fostering1 interests of several New York gentlemen philanthropicaliy inclined never took a tangible form and • passed out of mind. But a line of sailing vessels from New York to Liberia has been maintained, and American exports of manufactured •cotton to Africa through various channels form a considerable item. Meanwhile England is building up a nourishing trade on both sides of the continent, on the west coast and at Zanzibar. Trade with the colony of Lagos for the year 1887 amounted to $4,500,000, and it ij calculated that the entire trade of Great Britain with the west coast last year amounted to the approximate value of $25,000,001) of imports and $13,000,000 of exports, comparing well with somo portiona'of India. At Zanzibar, up to the recent breakingfout of hostilities, the whole coast was a ^continuous line of British Indian trading stations, and trading increased rapidly to $10,000,000-per annum, the greater part of this boing in the hands of British subjects. "Unfortunately, 11 as we are told by Archbishop Farrar, "this property attracted the greed of certain German adventurers," who made "bogus treaties,>( claimed vast tracts of country, and proceeded to take possession, despite the remonstrances of the sultan. Furthermore, according" to the authority just quoted, "the whole traded the coast is in the hands of somo 10,- 000 British subjects from India, including the ivory trudo, copra,'gum opal, india rubber, hide! and grain trades. These British Indians have lent large sums of money to the Arab -ivory, caravans. They have also invested theirs* profits in mortgages on the houso* and plantations of the. Arabs, feeling1 quite •secure under the shadow of English justico. The liritish Indians have £500,000 of Hoat.in.? oapit J employed at this timo in tlio ivory trade in the far interior, and unless somo decisive measures are uuloi-taken by tho Engliah'goverumenl. this largo sum must inevitably bo lost." England appear-) to hiivo becomo inextricably involved by joining in an ii^'roomcat with Germany to mantain a blockade "to put down the slave trade,1' a feat somewhat difficult of accomplishment whom every African and Arab trader is a slaveholder oll.hor iti will or deed. Clearly enough, it would now appear the "development of Africa," whatever this may mean, has received a check from which there will bo tardy recovery. It is surmised, however, that traders in Zanzibar, while postponing indefinitely tho relizution of hopes for the commercial1 subjugation of the interior lake regions aeoo.sdi.blo from this point, may give a new impetus to the Congo Free State and to •efforts to poiietratj tropical Africa through the Soudan.

BEAUTIFYING THE HOUSE - Furnl How a Woman's Skillful Needle May Ornament the Household sAlngs. f chairs, rattan divans and rustic oeuches of Georgia pine, such as are used In the furnishing of country houses, can be made delightfully picturesque, as well as inviting, by the addition of a few gay pillows and slumber blankets. You d6n't want one, but a multitude of bags, pillows and robes for comfort, as well as effect, and the cost of providing them will depend entirely on the fancy of the housekeeper. The othnr day a box of pillows was sent from a Sixth Avenue store to a Newport cottage that had been prepared at an expense of only $12. There were pillows of various shapes and sizes filled with feathers, swan's down or balsam buds, and all covered with French cretonne. The order came from a man who stated that he wanted something nice enough for a parlor and not too good for a hammock or a snooze on the beach. Mrs. Harrison has ordered a similar supply of pillows for the parlor bud piazza of Deer Park cottage. The bags that are filial with orris root, sweet clover or sachet powders, and are hung on chair corners to perfume the apartment, are usually covered with some rich silk or bits of stuff of historic value. For instance, there is in every dressing-case a flag, scarf, piece of drapery or sash preserved as a souvenir of some German festival or tournament, which wives and sisters are only too glad to work into chair sachets. Then there aro strange silk mufflers and handkerchiefs that accumulate in every hall tree where there are young ladies, and as no one claims or identifies them they are sent to the dyers for a golden brown or deep crimson coloring, and appear later as a top cover for a pillow or a casing of a hanging sachet A ball of kismet and some free hand sketches will make the handkerchief drapery as artistic as a specimen from the Kensington schooL Young men who lay their hearts where the feet of the foot-light stars tread, and who pilfer dramatic shoulder scarfs and lyric sashes are envied by their friends, for it isn't every fellow who lives in apartments who can rest his weary head, smoke his cigar and dream away an odd hour on a sofa pillow covered with the satin ribbons cut from a diva's opera wrap. Some of the swan's-down pillows are as costly as a perfect pearU but the buyer has or blieves he has a veritable piece of Louis Home member's court coat or a bit of the identical ecclesiastical embroidery that draped the altar ot a Peter, a Gregory or a Chry 80s torn. Odds and ends of pretty figured silks can be bought for a couple of shillings and the 30-cent India tissues are admirable for encasiug the fragrant pine, fir aod balsam pillows. Fancy carriage robes of leopard cloth, silver, crimson or russet plush, are frequently seen on willow couches, but if a purchase is to be made there is nothing more desirable th,an a swan'sdown slumber blanket, for the weight is slight, the colors sure to be pleasing, and when not thrown across my lady's pretty feet or his lordship's rheumatic shoulders, it will make a striking background draped over the buck of the sofa. Red silks are abundant, and if a body cares to be her own seamstress a saving of 50 per cent can be made on the retail price. These red silk slumber blankets are exceedingly nice to spread on the rocks, the sand or the lawn for the comfort of children, or the luxury of a flirtation, and where a business is made of napping in a hammock a soft silken robe and a bi^sofa pillow make the swinging couch an ideal bed.— New York World. Cat and Bat. A rat and a cat may be seen playing together almost any day at a livery stable in this city says a LouiBville letter. The cat is a big black Tom, with long whiskers, a short tail, and yellow eyes. The rat is a sleek and fat specimen of the geaus rodent and has a cunning but prosperous ana contended look. The cat is fierceness and savagery itself, and bears the scars of innumerable battles not alone with rats and other felines but with dogs as well, and he has never been whipped and he has never been known to decline a fight The rat was c mght in a wire trap one night last week. He was so uncommonly large and looked so ugly as he stood up on his -hind legs and rattled the wires of his' cage that his captors resolved to have some sport with him and Tom. The cat aad he were, accordingly, taken over to a neighboring saloon, the doors closed, holes stopped up and a select few irji&ered. to witness the fight When the rat was turned loose from the cage Tom was ready and pounced upon him instanter. To the surprise of all however, he did not hurt him. His dlaws were sheathed and he plain* ly invited a romp. The rat did not understand his advances at first, but was soon reassured and would finally run from the men to the eat for protectlon. In a short time they became fast friends. They now play together constantly and seem to understand each other perfectly. The rsfc i&imbs all over Tom's back, pulls hfsjeara' and tail, and treats his biff friend with the utmost freedom. Both spend ttaft greater part of their time under ,tl* stove in the stable office, and large numbers of visitors go there I© witness the unusual friendship M * P b H - We have a very complet e L.

NILES, Oct. 31.—Mr*. Eliza Davis wai discharged yesterday on the charge of xrand larceny. During the trial many facts were adduced tending to »bow that Mrs. Monroe (Mrs. Davis' mother) was connected with the Bender murders in Kansas. By her own admissions Mrs. Monroe has had seven husbands, and a number of them mysteriously disappeared. Her daughter, Eliza, insist* positively that Mrs. Monroe is old Mrs. bunder. Much interest was manifested and mauy bloodcurdling and horrible revelations were brought out during the examination Officers from Kau&as have been in the state for ten days-investigating the case and are satisfied that they have discovered the notorious Bender family. The governor of Kansas was asked for a requisition, which wai* at once forwarded to Gov. Luce, who at once issued extradition papers for Kate Bender, sr . and Kate Beuder, jr., now iu custody of the Berrien county officials. The murders committed by the Header family were nr*t brought to light in l»73, and at that time the revoltingdetails of the crimes were the talk of the civilized world. The homes of Thorn s and William Bender, the principal brothers, were near Cherryvale, Labette county, Kansas, both families occupying a large tavern. The mysterious disappearance of Dr. Wm. H. Yoric of Fort Scott, Ks., led to the organization of a searching party and the missing man was tracked to the Bender tavern, where trace was lost aud the party abandoned the search, although the Beuders were strongly suspected of knowing more about the missing man than tuey wero willing to divulge. Shortly after this a farmer passing the tavern noticed that it was deserted, and then itdxwutid upon the community that the Benders had left that section of the country. The premises were searched and the searchers were rewarded by tindiug the body of Dr. York aud niue other bodies that the frieuds had buried. Tho country was aroused and descriptions of the uiur- <lerers wore seut broadcast, aud although vigorous search has been made they have never been brought to Justice. The Lie a l^aw Void. LANSING, Oct. 30.—The mechanics' lieq law passed by the legislature in Ih77 is invalid. The supreme court says: "It strikes at the foundation of all property in land. There is no coustitutioa d reason for depriving a man of his property except tor his own act or default. Under this law his own act is nor required and his freedom from any default of agreement is no defense. He. may h..ve paid tne pnnein.il contr ctor iu full, uiui yet tue meehuuies, or material meo, ui ty tioid house and land lor money which the contractor owes them. A man may contract lor a certain U')U9f! and the coo tract or may build him a house he never bar;,' <ined lor, and yet hold a lion on his land. The original contract pia.ys no part in tho mutter except as a fact which binds no one and has no significance. Such a gross per. e-rsion of all tho essential rights of property is so plain that no explanation can make it plainer, and^as this purpose forms the only apparent reason for the passing of the law the present statute and ;•,li its p r t s must fall together, loaviny the law of t.'io statewhere it was previous to is;;. > The inuin diiterence between tho old and new laws is that tne old law did not allow the contractor, in,aerial men or mechanics to recover from the land owner any amount in excess of the contract price of the house. Frthermore under the old law no material •man or mechauic cuu recover an amount greater than tho amount duo from the land owner to tno principal contractor and unpaid. It a land owner pays in advance, tlie mechanics-und tnuteriul providers have no lion on the house or land, ;-nd must look solely to the contractor. An owner may thus conspire with Tlie principal contractor to duleiit the lien, and tho niecliunics have no remedy unless they can prove tho conspiracy. The. owner, m short, has no responsibility toward** the mechanics, but only to tho contractor.. Under the deseat- «'d IHW the owner was obliged to keep hack his pu.v until he was sure the mechanics and material men had all been settled. S k i p S m a r t ly. STK. MAIUI:, Oct.

Ther e was a political meetin g at Penningto n to which both Austen and his sister were going; Tessa—who had decline d to accom - pan y them—ha d forgotten all about th e meeting , and was delighte d and rqUeved when Austen, glancin g at his inquire d at what time th e caret been ordered , very rarely tha t she had an g to herself; i№d Bhe deter - mine d to make th e best use of her unusual opportunity , and endeavo r to see Mr. Cleveland , He had told her onc e tha t he almost invariably smoked his after-dinne r cigar in th e par k adjoining his house . Once or twice Tessa had seen him saunterin g up and down the avenue as she rode past with Austen. Ther e was Just a chanc e tha t be migh t be ther e ibis evening; at all events, Tessa decide d tha t she would try it if fate would be propitious . It was past eight o'cloc k before Tessa reache d th e Prior y ga'es. The twilight was alread y gatherin g amon g th e tree s in th e avenue, and ther e was a stillness which was almost oppres - sive over everything ; th e whole place looked asleep, Tessa thought—eve n th e deer scarcely trouble d to raise thei r head s as Bhe passed. With her hear t beatin g a little nervously she hurrie d up th e path , looking anxiously from Bide to side; but no trac e eithe r of Mr. Clevelan d or his cigar gladdene d her eyes. Suddenly , however, as she passed a narro w windin g pat h which led behin d some thic k bushes toward s th e fish-pond, a tall woman .slipped from behin d th e bushes and stood before her in th e path , barrin g her progress. She was dressed in white, and her long yellow hair hun g over her shoulder s far below her waist; she had a beautifu l sad face, and great blue eyes, which looked anxiously into Tossa'a startle d face. She stepped forward and laid her han d upon the girl's arm with a firm yet gentle touch . "I am so glad you have come , my dear ! It is BO dull being her e alone!" she said, in a curiousl y absent clear voice. "And now you will help me to look for it—will you not? " "Look for it? What have you lost?" Tessa faltered . Somethin g in th e stranger' s voice and manne r struck her as odd and unusual, and her hear t beat quickly as she asked the question . "Ah, I can' t remember ! I have tried and tried , but I can' t remembe r what it is!11 she said, passing her han d across her forehea d with a weary sigh. "But I thin k it must be here somewhere ; and now you have come I dare say we shall find it. Come" — and th e firm clasp tightene d roun d Tessa's arm—"1 will show you where I thin k it is." Draggin g the girl after her with a gentle but irresistible force, she walked quickly down th e narro w path . Tessa was too much startle d to make any resistance . Passively she allowed herself to be hurrie d alon g behin d th e tree s by her strange companio n unti l they stood on th e bank of th e fishpond . It was shut in on all sides by a thic k belt of fir-trees, whi'h looked dark and sombre now against th e sunset sky. Half th e water lay in deep Fhad - ow; th e othe r half-was dyed blood-re d by th e settin g Bun; th e bats were whirling overhead , and from the wood an owl's melanchol y not e sounde d now and then . I t was a strange and weird place to be in at tha t hou r and with such a companion , and Tessa felt frightene d and nervous. 'ih e woman , withou t relaxing her tight hold, pointe d with the othe r han d to the water. "I thin k it must be there, " she said, in a gentle but determine d voice— "down amon g the water-lilies , you know. Come—let us jump in and look for it!" The firm clasp tightene d on Tessa's arm ; with a wild terro r she felt tha t she was being drawn neare r to the edge of th e water, and with th e resolution of despair she forced a smile to her lips. "I don' t thin k so; it is much more likely to be somewher e in th e Priory, " she said. ''I n th e Prior y ?" The othe r shook her head . "Oh, no—1 have looked all over for it! In every room but Noel' s study; and I dar e not go ther e —he does not like his paper s and books to be touched , Perhap s you do not know my name , my dear ? I am Mrs. Noe l Cleveland , and I live at the Priory. " She drew up her head with a little prou d smile. "I came there — oh, a long time ago!—with my husband and my baby- " The smile faded, and was suddenl y replace d by a look of terribl e passionate despair ; she clasped her hand s across her eyes, and burst into wild sobbing. • 'Oh, I remembe r now—it was my baby! They took it away from me, and I have never seen it since, " she cried passionately . At tha t momen t to Tessa's intens e relief, amid th e wild sobbing came the sound of footsteps, and in anothe r instan t Noe l Clevelan d appeared . He did not notic e Tessa just at first. Gently , but decisively he put his han d within his wife's arm , and stroked the golden head and soothe d her as he might have soothe d a crying child. "Why, what are you doing here , my dear? " he askei gentty. "Com o hom e or you will catc h cold and be ill again. " Mrs. Clevelan d clun g to him piteously. "Oh, Noel , 1 can' t find it! Where have you put my baby?" sho moaned . "She" —pointin g at Tessa—says it must be in the Priory . Is it? "Perhap s so.' Come—we will look for it, dear. " • 'The n ask her to como—I like her, " Mrs. Clevelan d said, pointin g at Tessa. For . th e first time Noe l glanced at Tessa; lti« face flushed, and he looked surprised and-annoyed . '•Mis s Cardin e wttt-y.Q u gratify thi s poor girl's fancy?" he said, after a pause, and in an odd humiliat^d-tojae . And Tessa, footing too sorry and &arito answer, beni her head silently and followed them to the house . She notice d tha t Mr. Cleveland , as he approache d th e house , turne d aside from the principal drive and led the way up a narrow path behind the thick hedge to a side door, which opeaed into a quaint square garden. Entering the house, he opened the door of a small room which looked like a Btudy, and requested Tessa to wait there for an instant while he took his wife to her own apartment Tessa, standing in the study, heard the sound of heavy'doors closing one after another—heard the low sobbing become fainter and fainter till it died away altogether in the distance. Her heart grew full of pity and sympathy as she stood by the window, looking drearily out imo the garden, and thought of the terrible trouble which was part of and overshadowed her friend's life. It wn-s quite ten minutes be'ore Mr. Cleveland returned; and then Tessa's quick eyes noticed that his face looked old and haggard, like the face of one who was suffering from severe mental strain—that the bright mocking light had quite died out of his eyes, and left an unspeakably sad and hopeless look. He came quietly across the room to her side, and, as she glanced shyly into his face, put his hand gently upon her shoulder. "Poor child, were you very much alarmed? I am so sorry!" he said, looking down *t her with his kind weary eyes. Tessa colored vividly. Fervently she longed to give utterance to some of the grief and pity which filled her heart, but the words failed her. "I am—oh, so sorry! Has she been like this long?" she faltered. "Since her baby died. She, was very odd once before when she was quite a young girl, and her mother died in an asylum." Noel spoke in a resolutely calm voice. "I did not know this, you understand, or I should never have married her; they^— she and her father—took good care I should not know until it was too late. I was a good match, you understand;" and a bitter sneer crossed his face for an instant. "Then,, about fifteen months after our marriage—soon after her baby died—she became like this. I dare say Mrs. Callender has told you some pretty little tales of my neglect and jealousy, has she" not? Yes—I thought so"—as Tessa's eloquent face answered for her. "Well, now you know the truth. I am a very proud man, Miss Tessa, and I hated the idea of the world's comments and pity when it became known how I had been duped and humiliated; so I kept my secret. I gave out that, my wife's delicate health altogether unfitted her for society, and discouraged all visitors here. 1 could not bear the idea of shutting the poor thing up in an asylum, for she is quite harmless generally." "I am so sorry'." Tessa's eloquent eyes looked the sympathy which her tongue refused to utter. Noel gave her hand a little friendly squeeze. "I am sure of it. And now toll me how you came to be in the park alone, and at this late "hour," he went on. "Did you want me?" "Yes." Tessa's story was soon told' and her request met with the ready response she expected. Mr. Cleveland readily promised to make inquires among his theatrical friends, and seemed so certain of success that Tessa was relieved and delighted. "Thank you so much!" she said putting out her hand gratefully. "Wait until you have something to thank me for," Cleveland said gently. "Now I will walk home with you. Oh, yes"—as Tessa began a mild remonstrance—" it is too late for you to go alone!" TO BE CONTINUED . , , — ^ i The Dozen Greatest Poets. Perhap s I may now be permitte d to recapitulat e the list of a dozen English pj>eta whom I ventur e to quot e as th e manifest immortal s of our British Par - nassus, says Edwin Gosae in the For - um. They are Chaucer , Spencer . Skakespeaie , Milton , Dryden . Pope , Gray , Burns, Wordsworth , Coleridge , Byron, Shelly, Keats. It will be noticed tha t ther * are thirtee n name s hero and my reviewers have not failed to remin d me tha t it is notoriousl y difficult to coun t th e stars. The fact is tha t Gray , the real thirteenth , was an afterthought , and I will admi t that , althoug h Gra y is the autho r of what is th e most imposin g single short poem in th e language, and althoug h he has charm , skill, and distinctio n to a mar - velous degree, his originality , his force of production , was so rigidly limi'ed tha t he scarcely may be admitte d to the first rank . No doub t th e explosive force which eggs a very great writer on 1o constan t expression was lacking in th e case of Gray , and I yield him—a tende r babe, and th e only one of my interestin g family which I will consen t to thro w to th e wolves. The rest are inviolabe, and 1 will defend them to th e last. "My Country, 'Tis of Thee." 8. F. Smith , autho r of th e hymn , "My Country , Vis of Thee, " has added a stanza tor th e centennial..-Th e lines are as foil owa: Our joyful hosts to day, ... - ^ Thoir grateful tribute pay— ^~- ^ Happ.y and f ree— ATtar. jmr toils and fears, After o"t№4?lood andtea rs— Strong' wiuhnur hundred years- Ob Lord, to PRECIOUS 8TON ES. Only Prized for Their Vulgar Worth, No t Their Beauty. The very small catalogue of precious stones popular with us may be one cause of our poverty in design; another in our few forms. A brooch, ear-ring*' finger-riogu—many people have no idea beyond those—a locket, rows of something round the neck, studs, stars for the hair—voila tout! These orthodox "sets11 cast polished and machine engraved, are aa deadening as bad laws. Where there is no liberty there is no enjoyment, and what becomes of the joyau, the joyous gaud? It seems there are only a certain number of things one can do with diamonds. After the diamond come some half dozen well known names down to the dismal garnet. Perhaps the eminent lapidary and mineralogist, Bryce Wright, says the j Contemporary Review, has done more than anyone in the present day to increase the catalogue of our possible ornaments, as he has materially aided science by introducing a number of hitherto unknown minerals. At his museum in Saville row, a haunt of ever-increasing splendor and inter est, specimens of extaordinary beauty may be seen—not only the largest diamonds and sapphires, the purest crystals and lapis in the world, and other thing's tnat delight the merely rich, but curiosities— white sapphires* colored diamonds, black pearls, pink emeralds, and exquisite specimens of novelties, such as hiddenida, Australian opals, and scores of beautiful materials which most of us only knew from the Revelatipn of S t John; fabulous glories such as fire children's dreams in Mme. d'Aulnoys' fairy tales—where entire tables of emerald, miniatures covered with a sheet of diamond, and bracelets cut in a single ruby are quite common —just such exquisite and rare objects may be seen at Bryce Wright's, along with rn«ny beautiful historical antiquities worth any length of journey to view. In my opinion there is no material so beautiful as opal for cameo-cutting, an art revived by Brice Wright with extraordinary success. I have a specimen of its n itive matrix treated with antique grace and ingenuity by Elser, a well-known gem-cutter. Its color is as vivid as I have seen in opal—it glows like a blue flame: on close inspection Venus and Cupid start out from the mouth of a gleamy cave with pillars of ivory. This is in the true jspirit of the old designers. I have an ancient coral pendant carved in a graceful figure of our lady surrounded by cherubim, and mounted in arabesques of blue and white enamel. Mrs. Alma-Taderaa has a, graceful seventeenth- century necklet of floe blue enamel, an interlaeery of true love knots—probabyl Italian. These jewels are opposed to the vulgar, "noisy" concatenations of diamonds —• distinguished from gluas only by the diciiroseope, though costing a fortune — which we connect with won»n of wealth but no training.

What is it about the sta^e that has such a fattening influence on its divinities? asks a writer in the Boston Herald. I believe if a tvalking skeleton should get stage struck and make the drama profession, in six months' time the said walking skeleton would be groaning over inconvenient adipose, and have to take to Banting". These stage stars who manage to keep their figures lead a life of seif-denial that must interfere with half the joys of their career. Caper and frisk as fatiguingly as they may, exhaust themselves as they do with "study." the fat rolls up, and lovely rounded contours disappear beneath, the billows. It is said that nothing even in the line of mental fret and worry can prevent thispredisposed stoutness, and that its remedy, starvation, causes worse ills by impoverishing the blood; in fact, that healthy flesh cannot be antagonized with safety to the possessor thereof. 1 ^ • A Foolish.

Then he went into the room whore his two daughters , aged 13 and 14, slept and struck them e< oh thre e times. H e then went into the room of his two sons and struck lit the oldest, but he took the hammer away from his father and followed him as soon as be could dowu stairs, where he found his father in tbe yard, dead, with his throa t cut. The youngest child died durin g the forenoon , and it is though t tha t the othe r two canno t recover. The mother' * skull is fracture d and it will be a miracl e if she survives.

Yet the injuries occasionally sustained in cousequeace of shelter belts may be serious, for it is a well-attested fact that trees sometimes suffer from cold in the immediate Marketing Turkey., G«e«., »nd *>»«»». ! v i c i n l t y o f a dense windbreak, when The medium sue turkey, or one tha**t h e y e 8 C a p e i n j u r y i a other places. is small, will always be selected in preference to a larger one, if it is fat and plump. Large turkeys are only in demand by a certain class, but the number of turkeys sold go into %he hands of those who do not wish to Invest but a moderate sum in that direction. This rule holds good with all classes of poultry—the small, or medium size birds being preferred. The profit, therefore, depends on the condition in which the fowl reaches the market, and profit does not depend on size, for it will cost the farmer more to raise a large turkey than a small one, while the difference in price per pound is the difference between profit and loss, in some cases. Profit is that over and above the cost of production, and the price obtained per pound is more important than the amount received for weight. Geese are more salable at certain times than at others. During the Jewish holidays geese are greatly in demand, and are then more salable than turkeys. They are usually sold alive, thus effecting a saving in the work of preparation for market, but the cost of transportation is greater for live birds than for those that are dressed. Unless geese are fat it is a waste of time to a> terapt to sell them at all, and old geese will not be purchased by anyone unless through ignoranca. Only geese that are young should be sold. The old birds •hould be retained for breeding. Those who make a practice of purchasing geese for customers will not buy old geese unless especially ordered to do eo. Only old ducks can be procured in •winter. What is meant by old ducks is adult ducks. An aged duck is, like the aged goose, not desired. ,They are sold either alive or dressed, the live ducks being preferred. To derive a profit from ducks they must be made to reach a fair weight in a short time, and it is right here that beginners, or those who are interested in ducks, should bear in mind that the common duck will never give a profit. They are too small. Either the Poiun, Aylesbury, Rouen, or Cayuga broods should be used. Hogs. There never was a time, all things •onsldered, when the raising of hogs was more remunerative than now. A very important consideration comes up for the farmer—"What variety of breeding stock should I secure?" This is just the way to go at it. Don't rush off to every public .sale that you hoar of in the country and stock up with stunted scrubs of all kinds und classes. If you do you will bo disappointed in returns. They aro always older than they look and the seller n©*cr knows their exact age, and would be a little embarassed to have such small matters too closely investigated. If you are not posted in breeds, send and. get tho history of several of the leading breeds of hogs and select from these what you think will best suityour farm, location, market, etc Under no consideration accept an animal that is not recorded; be exacting; require the individual pedigree, also a certificate- of registry signed by the secretary of the association in which the animal is recorded, or other similar and undisputed evidence of record. By this means you will start on a solid foundation and be able to speak intelligently to inquirers. All your hbors will want to know where you jour stock, their history, etc. You be able to sell all you can raise of the pure bred pigs at good prices— more than an IS months old scrub would bring when fat. For your common feeding stock got the best grade sows you can buy in your neighborhood and breed to your thoroughbred male. Select a few of your choice young sows each year for breeders. Do not be tempted to soil them at any price. Never usn your stock hog more than one season. Sell him, if ho fe&s to go amon^ tho fat hogs. Buy another hog in no way closely related to your stock. Introduce new blood into your herd in this way each year, and by making proper selections of vigorous, strong animals you will be proud of your success in a short time and have a herd for health, beauty and profit the envy of the whole neighborhood. Every man handling hogs should read all the available information on the feeding and management of swine and practice such as seems reasonable and consistent with his circumstances. This fact is easily explained, however. The inflence of a windbreak upon the temperatures of an adjacent plantation is governed by its position with reference to prevailing or severe winds. Of itself,/wind probably exerts little or no influence upon temperature. It acquires the temperature of surfaces over which it passes. If these Burfaces are colder than the given area, cold winds are the result, or if warmer, as a large body of water, the winds are warm. But wind often causes great injury to plants because of its acceleration of evaporation; and winds which are no colder than the given area, if comparatively dry, may consequently do great damage to fruit plantations. This is particularly true at certain times during the winter season. Lund winds, being cold and dry, are therefore apt to be dangerous, while winds which traverse large bodies of water, and are therefore comparatively warm and moist, are usually in themselves protectors of tender plants. * Fireproof Fence Post*. It is said that soaking fen ce posts one hour in a solution of alum water will make them fireproof as long as they stand. One ounce of alum is used to a gallon of water. If this is true, why not soak all wooden building materials in alum water? The preparations of zinc and other metals to make building materials fireproof are too expensive for general use. White Clover Disappearing. There is no sweeter or more nutritious herbage for any kind of stock than white clover. It is hardy, too, and on much land comes in from seed lying in the ground without sowing. This is •what some farmers mean by saying that clover is "natural" to certain soils. They are usually such as either from negligence or failure of seed do not get a catch of other grasses-. Pigs as Soavenger*. A few pigs can be kept and fattened with very slight expense, merely by feeding them what would otherwise be wasted, and if given in addition wh.-it .a large, healthy dog would require the pi<?s will be f.vt ail the time. Nothing that is eatable, unless it be tomatoes, comes amiss to the pier, and the man who said he fed all he grew to his pigs, and lives himself on what the pigs would not eat, must have fared ruther poorly. Jo An Burnt, the leader of the recent cwMful dockers' strike in London, *ays it hat been the means of raiting wages in at least 200 trade* there.

Robert Mclntyre in hiabormun last night "The .floods have lifted up their voice" was the text, taken from Psalm, xciii.,3 "The voice of thoilool, witii the mingled wail of dying1 men, drowning women, and perishing children, reached the ears of the world Junu I,1' said the preacher, and bulletins Hushed from telograph office announcing the sad and complete desolation ol hundreds of homes.

When Chicago was burned thousands threw up their hands and declared that tho city was destroyed because of its great wickedness, but no more peaceful, moral, and pious towns existed than those in the valley of the Conomau^h.

The gay Pittsburuers couldn't .«oe that their rotten dam was a,, fearful trap. God governed the we rid by his Inv and that law couldn't be reversed to please a pleasure club. Tho litMn stream was made to flow onward ;m<? not backward. The almighty could have prevented it, but if his law w,i.j defied suffering must follow, it was tho same with tho lav; of man. Millions of tons of water were hun? pen. dulous by a rotten dam, and though murder was not done willfully it wai through ignorance. Warnings wt>:o sounded, but tho re wore counties scores in that luckless valley that r<v iusod to act upon thorn and they w •;>. cut off from refuge.

Having received the reports of school directors and inspectors of the ^nty, we wish to submit to the patrons of our schools the facts therein contained. We believe as we have always believed, that public matters should be understood by the public. As public education is of the utmost importance to the County and State, we invite attention to it, hoping that the matter may receive the careful and intelligent thought of our people. And we hope that as the greatest evolutions of time take place, and as we listen to the music of advancing thought, our schools may be found at the front, systematically leading a great nation to honor and success. The public schools of our County, for the year ending September first, 1889, disbursted $61,915.49, and have a balanoo in the treasury of $10,811 and 33 cents.* Of the disbursements $13,554:85 was paid to male teachers and $20,358.80 was paid to female teachers, miking a total of 33,913.- 15 paid to teachers. The total valuation of school property is fixed at $117,960.5*5,' with a total indebted ness of $4,265.25. Thus it will be seen, that our school interests repre sent fe large amount of money. Tbe census of the school districts sbow 8(355 children in the County between the ages of 5 and 20 years, of which 6,155 attend school. There are also 2,828 children in tbe County between the ages of 8 and 14, of which 2,727 attend school, which shows that the ad vantages'furnished are accepted. To teach these*child ren, there have been employed 87 male and 234 female teachers, making a total of 321 teachers employed. The union schools, five in number, employ their teachers by the year, as do a number of tbe district schools. Deducting these from the whole number of schools, and we have a re mainder of 115 district schools employing 278 teachers, or an average of about 1\ teachers to each school. We leave to the public the question of whether schooU can rapidly pro gress with such a continuous charge of teachers. We also find, that there are 111 schools that have from 8 to 10 months of school during the year; seventeen that have from 6 to 1\ months of school during the year. We shall at this time offer no comments on this last mentioned condition, except to state that the 24 schools that have less than rl\ months of school per year, have a total of 400 scholars within tbeir limits. Further statistics show that but 42 schools have dictionaries of any sort, 14 with maps, 19."with globes, 18 properly heated and ventilated, 70 with uniform text-books, 108 schools n which physiology and hygene are taught as required by law, and but 4 schools outof 135 that have a prescribed course of study. (See art. 42 p. 18 General School Laws.) With this we will bring our report to n close, the subject of which is to give to the public the information which it contains, and to incite a greater interest in our public schools, lpon which the welfare of the repubic rests. One of our great econom* sts has said: "We are all creatures of association, subject to the conditions of our environments. We TOW as our neighbor grows. Not even the least falleth but the community is affected in proportion." Let me urge upon all the necessity of attending ami the benefits growing out cf associations. Respectfully submitted, S. D.

Oemocrats Claim Ohio by 5,000 to 15,000 Plurality— Democrats Claim the Victory in New York—Mahone Defeated in Virginia. The General Result. Ten states held elections on the 5th. In five of them, Iowa, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Ohio and Virginia, a goveruor and other state officers were chosen; in New Jersey a governor and members of the legislature, and in the other four, Mary land, Nebraska, New York and Pennsylvania, members of the legislature aud minor officers were voted for. In Iowa there were three state tickets, democrat, republican and Labor. In Massachusetts tbere were also three tickets—democrat, republican and prohibition. There is only one ticket in the held in Mississippi—the democrat. In New Jersey there were three tickets—demo, rat, republic.au and prohibition. In Ohio there were four tickets—democrat, republican, prohibition aud Union Labor. There were only two tickets in Virginia —democrat and republican. Maryland elected ouly a controller. There were democrat, republican aud prohibition tickets Nebraska elected a supreme court Judge aud two regeuts. There weredemocrat and republican tickets. New York ejected a secretary of state, treasurer, controller, attorney general, slate engineer und court of appeals judge. There were democrat, republican, prohibition und greenback tickets. Members of both huuses of. the legislature were also chosen. The democrats claim Obiobyfrom 5,000 to 15,000 plurality tor Campbell. Chairman Neai ol tuo democrat state executive committee, claims CtUipbeli's election by from -000 to 15,tiO0 plurality. Tnis estimate is based on tlie supposition that Hamilton county has given Campbell TAX*) ulurulity und on the reports from other towns and cities, which outside ol Hamilton rount.v, show decided democrat gains. As to the legislature, he is in doubt. He thinks, however, that it may be democrat on a joint ballot. The democrats claim heavy gains in Iowa, aud the republicans may lose it. Returns received up to a late hour on the 6th indicated that the democratic ticket is elected in New York by about lu,0o0 majority, aud that the next legi&lature will be composed as follows: Senate, ~1 republicans 11 democrats; assembly, 67 republicans, til democrats. Col. Gordon, chairman of the Virginia state democrat committee, lias received returns lrom nearly ..li points of the state and he estimates the majority at over 25,- 000, with a fair prospect of its being largely increased. The legislature is over twothirds democrat. Democrats claim increased majorities in New Jersey. , Returns from Massachusetts indicate that Brakett, republican candidate lor governor, is undoubtedly elected, but even the republicans now concede that his plurality will be small, it beiug variously estimated at from :J,000 to 7,uO0. The election in Chicago was forone judge ef the circuit court, one judge ol Uie superior court, recorder of deeds and the full board of county commissioners, uud the democrats claim to have carried the day. Democrats made guius in Maryland and will have a workiug majority in the legislature. Pennsylvania shows a net republicuu gain over tho List vote of about ~f>,oO0, The estimated majority for the republican ticket in Nebraska is about LO,LKX). So little interest was felt in tlie election in Mississippi, there being no opposition to the democrat ticket, that the executive committee huve not provided for the returns as heretofore. The Klection in Detroit. Detroit elect* a republican mayor by about 2,400 majority, aud the republicans liave undoubtedly secured control of the city council. TERRIBLE ALASKA EXPERIENCE. Three Americana in Search of Gold Endure Hardship* Two men tottered down the mountain side to L'uilcott, Alaska, a few days ago, Whose emaciated faee.->arul trembling- limbs showed that they had survived uir experience that few men vvouid huve lived through. One of them, J. \Y. Sperry of PortL ud, Ore., is f>0 ye .rs of age with hair as white as snow. The other, H. C. Hose, also from Portl .ml, is 20 years younger, and this youth iiloue saved Sporry from filling an uumarked grave in the valley of the luUon. Three weeks after starting on their homeward journey their provisions were entirely exhausted, and they soon became so weak that they could not pull their boat, which they ltnally abandoned, and took to the hills in search of ^aine. Occasionally a squirrel was siiot but as quickly eaten by the men, who were now ravenous, aud wild berries became their only mean* of subsistence. Their trail wus followed by clouds of mosquitoes and flies, that lit upon them in swarms, and their faces and hands soon became raw and bieeding sore, in their weakened condition, Ingram and F. C. Young, from San Diego, Cal., two others of the party, were unable to tight oft the pests which preyed upon their eyelids until they became -so inflamed that they lo,st all power to open or close them and they became totally blind. The dread of death-by starvation and fear of being helpiessfy lost in th t strange country soon told upen the minds of these two, iind Ingram repeatedly--I egged his companions to shoot him. Finally ^he lay down, refusing to move, and when f panions saw he was about gone, they him, almost dragging. Young along. The next day Young succumbed,a victim to starvation and the torments of pests which swarmed about them day and night. They left him lying upon the ground to die. .Another day brought them to some dried salmona cached by Indians for winter use. and they were now able to retrace their steps to tho boat, soon a party of Indians •came along, from whom they obtained food enough to enable them to reach tho tirst •white settlement this side of tlie Yukon. O n their way back to the bout they came to the spot whore Ingram was left, but found the mosquitoes und Hies singing a requiem over their comrade. He was left with but a stono to mark his resting place. They could not Und Young, but are satistied strength or roason never returned sufficient to allow him to move from the •pot. On their way out the party discovered a ledge having a clearly defined vein of rich ore, showing free gold. Location notches ware hurriedly put upv in anticipation of rich results another Jrear, whon they all hoped to return. The pangs of hunger soon destroyed all hopes of future riches, and their only thought was for something to eat. Notwithstanding their terrible experience, the two survivors intend to return to the Yukon the coming spring. NOT ENTIRELY DEAD. Auarchy Still Exists in Formidable Proportions in Chicago. The Chicago Times of a few days ago printed interviews with ex Police Captain bhaaok, Agitator George Schilling aud others showing that anarchy is still pre#e»t in formidable proportions itkChicago. The estimate of the total membership of the secret group* vary from ^,000 totf,f)00 down to JiOO. The members of this organization, whatever their real number, are the advocates of violence.and one of them,unnamed, is quoted us saying tbat the orgauizatiou has practically abandoned dependence on d,\ namite ou the ground tbat is more dangerous to the persona handling it th.au to their enemies. The anarchists ure claimed to be much belter armed th - u at the time of the Haymarket riot. A favorite idea with them now is to use the "tire can," and attack property instead of life. At present the main purpose is organization with the view of putting themselves at the head of a labor revolt, should one soou happeu. - A Murderer's Strange Career. Shaug White, colored, of Sidney, O., has beeu arrested for the murder of Henry Nichols, and will be tried at the court of common pleas in January. There was considerable adverse comment when it became known that he was charged with murder in the lirst degree, and in common opinion he is not guilty of that high crime. No une believes ^here was auy premeditation ou Shaug a part. He was going through the street and was jeered by a colored boy, at whom he shot, hitting a hou^o. Nielios, the murdered man, r.m out and picked a quarrel with Shang and threw two stones at htm. As he was getting the tinrd sione Shaug gave him the load, the shot entering the rignt shoulder und causing pulmonary hemorrhage and death immediately. The general feeling is that Nichols had no business to interfere, as Shang was gett. ng away as fast us he could from the region and did not want a fuss. Nichols was a worthless character, a man who worked but lit'le, and ou this account the township trustees'Often had to assist the family. His death did not bring a teurto the eyes of his wife and son, and there is little suntiiueut about it throughout the town Shang is quite a character. He is an exslave of John K mdolph of Kounoke, and is one of 'MS who were set free when his master died in 1N»!. Shang was a n ere b.iby at ttiat time, but with his mother and over ::oo others he made the ste. in boat and overland trip to near Monte/uma, in Mercer county, this state, where they purchased ;<,lkw acres of land and started a colony. The whites took up arms ;.gainst them und scattered the blacws, many of whom cume here, Sh ug and his mother among them. His mother died about twentv years ago, and since then Shuiig has had no houie. He never worked three consecutive days, but made a living by doing chores for saloons and eating tho refuse at restaurants. All the children know him. and for years have tormented him by throwing water lrom secoud story windows upon him, and playing many cruel jokes. He has been abused more than any man. in this county, and never harmed any one but Nichols. Indeed, he never was before under arrest. He is considered a little addled, und, in addition, is densely ignorant. He is nearly six feet tall and has Uie looks of a Kaflir cnief. Money and Crop*.

Mahoue'a house in Petersburg, Va., OD the night of election. About 10:30 o'clock a mob of drunken men came down the street, tiring oft rocket* and Kouian candles, and shouting in a brawling, druuken manner. When they reached Gen. Mahone a residence they halted and fired their rockets agaiust his house, accompanying their action by derisive remarks about the general and hurrahing for McKinney. "Come out, come out! Dare him to show his face!'1 cried one of the ringleaders. The company in the general's house was startled at the noise which seemed to threaten an attack. '•Let me get out,11 said the general, against the protestations of his friends. "I will defend my home. They have no right to do this." For a time it seemed as if there would be bloodshed. Charles N. Koinaine, a dealer in fireworks in the city, was at the head of the crowd, and shouting to Gen. Mahone, he cried: "Shoot, you ." The crowd shouted agaiu, derisively, and poured a volley of fireworks toward the general's house. Some of the mob, seeing the weapons in the bands of the parties within the yard, realized tbat danger was imminent aud urged their fellows from the place. By this time it was discovered that one of the party with the fireworks bad been shot, and his limping called to his aid his friends who, supporting him, hurried him away, and the entire party left Seizing a double-barreled shotgun loaded with bucksnot, General Mahone opened his front door and emerged upon the veranda. Butler Mahone tho geuer.il'8 sou, was a prominent figure at this part of the proceedings, aud his voice could be iieard amid the tumult, calling to the crowd to diperse and threatening to come out and see that they did so, whether they wished it or not. Gen. Mutjonowas arrested, charged with assault with intent to kill «ieH. S. Harrison, but was soon released on IV>00 bonds. (Jen. Mahone s id that the shotgun which ho brought out of bis house when the crowd appeared there was not loaded. He tried to load it but the cartridges were too large for the barrel. The testimony of K. C. Campbell was to the effect that ho had been by (Jen Mahoue s side frotn the moment he stepped out of the house wita the shotgun iu hjs hand until he appeared- before the mayor, and that during that time he did not fire a shot. A Novel Solution. A novel solution of the liquor prbblom is proposed in Montreal, and an effort will be made to have it adopted by the Canadian parliament. The scheme is to license the buyer instead of the seller. The man who wishes an occasional drink is to apply to the revenue officer of his district for a licouse, the price to be fixed by act of parliament or city by. law. On payment or the specified sum, he i» to have a badge or sliield, firmly riveted ar<5uud his neck (to prevent trunsfen, ou presentation of which any citizen will be entitled to supply him with uriuk. The license to be renewable yearly, and, failing payment, the police can remove tho b. d e. The scheme, it is claimed, would bring to the revenue a larger sum than ever before, and would at once sweep aw.i.v ail artificial restrictions that are so annoying to tho saloonkeeper. In case of u man abusing his privilege and ' be4ug found out his license would be at i once forfeited. Not another drop could he obtain. g \ ; * 40 in suhsid-i try silver, and #903,- 4TH •Jl in minor coins.

Thomas Lamb, a United States prisoner in the penitentiary at Columbus, received from Texas }n January, 1889, on an eighteen months? sentence for smuggling, has been pardoned by tho President. Lamb, who is an Englishman by birth, is the owner of an enormous tract of land in Mexico, where his wife' and four children live, which is said to be valued at * 1,000.000, and yet he attempted to increase his wealth by resorting to crime.

He Bays that even if the piece of iron found in tho steam chest interfered with lhe working of the throttle, still (.ilobc cjuld have pre- \emed the accident by the proper use of tho brake and reverse lever. He further liruls that the draw cable and safety rope were not properly fastened to the car, and that the employes in charge of the machinery were guilty of criminal carelessness in not stopping the train or examining the machinery, when it refused to work : properly.

And another comes to thrill me, With her eyes delicious blue; And I mind not, musing on her, That her heart was all uutrue; I remember but to love her With a passion kin to pain, And my heart's quick pulses vibrate To the patter of the rain. Art hath naught of tone or cadence, That can work with such a spell In the soul's mysterious fountains, Whence the tears of rapture dwell, As that melody of nature, That subdued, subduing strain, Which is played upon the shingles, By the patter of the rain.

It was a very silent walk; for neither Tessa nor Cleveland was much inclined for conversation. There was indeed scarcely a word spoken until they reached the entrance to the Hall pardens. Tessa would have said good-by at the gate, but Cleveland insisted on escorting her to the house. They lingered for a few minutes in the porch, admiring1 the beauty of the twilight sky and the crescent moon, which was rising behind the hills; then Tessa held out.her hand. •'Good-bye, Mr. Cleveland. I want to say that--that I will not speak of to-night to any one," sho faltored confused ly. Cleveland looked down at her with a melancholy smile. "Dear child, there is no need to assure me of that!"' he said; and then he raised tho little h;iml to his lips. "Thank you for being so sorry for me!11 he said gently. Then he dropped her hand and moved away; and Tessa, aftor hesitating for a few moments, turned to enter the house, and, as sho turned, encountered the wrathful eyes of Mis. Callender who was standing immediately behind in the porch. Tussa, to uso her own expression, felt sho "was in for it;11 and, us usual, her spirits rose at tho prospect of a fray. She assumed her most defiant expression, hor most indifferent smile, as she addressed tho indignant matron. ••Back already! I did not expect you for hours yot!" sho said, with a snucy toss of her pretty head. "So it appears," Mrs. Callender remarked sarcastically. "Fortunately however, I returned in time to witness your sentimental parting, and also to see, as I passed the Priory Rate, you, arm in arm with Noel Cleveland, standing in the a.\ enue. May I inquire if you have been spending tho evening with him?" '•You may inquire precisely what you liko," Tessa retorted. "You won't get any answer, however." "Perhaps Austen may be more sue/ cessful," Mrs. Callender said coldly. ••I have tried my best several time? to bring you to a sense of the folly and "Wickedness of your conduct, and I will see now what he can flushed crimson. Austen's opinion was very precious to f—how precious she had never realized until now—and she dreaded beyond measure tho thought of the disapproving look which would cross his /ace when the story of hor escapado should bo told by Mrs. Callender. '•Don't toll Austen, and I will promise to bo more circumspect for tho future," she said coaxingly. But Mrs, Callender was obdurate; and Tessa,irritated by her cold manner 4 taunts, grew reckless and defiant. »t down to the piano—tho piano ionly a week before Austen had it and sent home as a surpriso her—and sung song after song— little French rhnusons of love and war,- which were Mrs. Cullenders especial abhorrence—till the carriage Which had been sent again to Pennington to meet Auston returned, and she heard his step in tho hall. She clasped her hands together and sat with a mocking smilo on her face as she listened while' the story of hor misdoings—woefully and unexpectedly black it sounded, she thought ruefully— was told by Mrs. Callender. Austen listened in silence; but there was a disappointed angry look on his face as he turned and looked down at the pretty culprit's flushed face and sparkling eyes. "And what has Tessa to say for her- Belf?'" he aeked gravely. TesBa bit her lip. Two or three times during the last five minutes she had been on the point of interrupting Mrs. Callender and attempting to justify herself; but she was so terribly afraid that she might betray the real reason of her errand to the Priory that each time she forced back the words. Now she gave a faint laugh. "Tessa thinks you are making a great fuss about nothing,'1 she said impatiently "I went to the Priory, Mr. Bevan, if you must know, became I wanted to ask Mr. Cleveland to do a little business for me in London—that is all." "Oh, that is all!' and Austen looked relieved. "But it was not quite nice —not quite the proper thing for you to go alone to the Priory—was it, Tessa?" he said gravely. "I won't do it any more " Tessa folded her hands and looked up with such a bewitching smile that Austen's brief anger melted away, and he was quite ready to grant pardon to the fair offender. "Very well—I will forgive you this once. The prisoner is reprieved!" he said gaily. Mrs. Callender frowned in indignant contempt. She drew herself up to her full hight, and, standing on the hearth rug, made a brief but forcible compaisron between the days of her youih and the present degenerate epoch. She remarked that she might not—she had no wish to—but some one else would live to see Austen bitterly repent his present lamentable weakness; and then she stalked out of the room and slammed the door after her. "Thank goodness that she has gone!" Tessa clasped her hands in delight. She looked up at Austen, who was standing1 leaning against the mantlepiece with a half-amused, half-annoyed look on his face, and danced across the room until she stood by his side. •'Tell me," she said, placing1 hor hand on his arm and looking up with well assumed gravity, "was she really sui.-h a paragon of a-girl? She was very different, I suppose, from—me, for instance." "Very di^orent." Austen laughed as he answered, and ho put his hiind gently upon the white lingers that rested on his sleeve. "How different?" "In every way. As diTerent from you, Tessa, as a bee from a buttenly.1' "She always went for woman's missions and rights, and all that sort of thing, I suppose."' Tes-a went on meditatively. "Mr. Bevan, what did Mr. Call en tier die ol?" "Die of? Typho:d-fever, I believe. Why do you ask'.'"' Auston said, with a little surprise in his voice. Tessa laughed. "Oh, I thought it might have been —missions!" she said demurely,' Austen gave an answering smile; but he shook his head gravely. ••Don't tolk nonsense, Tessa! Come and look at tho moonlight. That is more in your way than missions," ho said. Still holding\her hand he drew her across tho room' to the window, drew up the blind, and, opening the heavy sash, let in a flood of the silvery light and a rush of the pure night air full of tho scent of the lilac and narcissus. Auston could not help thinking how absurd and improbable it would have seemed six months ago to have imagined himself standing in the moonlight with a girl's fair flushed face near his own and a girl's soft fingers resting confidently in his. It was strange enough now; but it was perilously sweet—dangerously pleasant to him—:all the same. Tessa looked at the calm beauty of the landscape in silence for a moment, then guve a little, low sigh. "How glad I am summer is coming! Oh, I hope when I die it will be in the winter!" she said dreamily. "Die! Why, what sent such a dismal thought into your silly head, Tessa?" Austen looked starjtled and half alarmed. ' Death and Tessa—pretty merry Tessa, who enjoyed her life so intensely—seemed so utterly incongruous. Involuntarily he put his arm round fcer slim waist and drew her closer to him. Tessa gave a little soft laugh—a quick blush. "Oh, I don't know—I am only a butterfly, as you said just now; only a pretty, useless thing, fit for nothing but to flaunt my wings in the sunshine and look pretty! And when tho summer is past, you know, the winter comes, and the butterflies die!" "But after tho winter the spring comes, Tessa," Austen answered quickly. Tessa gave an odd Httlo sigh. "Ah,but not for the poor butterflies!" sho said. Sho spoke in a half-pathetic, halflaughing voice. Austen, looking down at her, was startled to find that her eyes were ftill of tears; that hor >ps wore trembling. "Why, Tessa, Tessa! Pray, what is the matter? You must tell me," ho said gently. Tessa could scarcely have told the cause of her tears. Her nerves had been shaken and overstrained by the ordeal through Which she had passed that evening, and she felt hysterical and nervous. A vision of the poor mad lady's sad face, of Cleveland's melancholy eyes, rose before her with startling distinctness. It seemed to spoil all tbe beauty of the summer night; even to disturb the sense of safety and protection which the touch of Austen's strong hand hud carried to her doubting mind. "Oh, I don't know—there is so much trouble in life! Why cannot people let one be happy while one may?11 she sobbed hysterically. That little pathetic appeal seemed to strike honft to Austen's heart—told him that now, the present moment, was the fittest time wherein to plead his suit—to confess the love which filled his heart. Happy! Ah, who could make her so happy as he could P he thought tenderly Who else would surround her wilh such unceasing love und care, such unfailing protection and strength? All at once the love which had been so long suppressed in his heart sprang into vigorous life; refused to be silent any longer. It found words; it spoke; it pleaded its cause in passionate overwhelming words, which startled Tessa and yet filled her with infinite delight. "I could make you so happy, my Tessa!'1 Austen pleaded, as she still stodd silent, but with her hands is his, her face hidden on his shoulder. "I am a great deal older than you, I know; but, for all that, I think I could make you happier than a younger man. What do you say, darling— can you love me? Could you be happy with me?" "I am—always!*1 Was it only the moonlight which sent such a sweet softened light into Tessa's eyes as she raised them to her lovers face--only the moonlight? Was it not rather the love which her lips were too shy to utter, but which her eyes spoke eloquently enough? "When I am with other people, however much I may be enjoying myself, there is always an odd restless feeling an if I were not quite contented. Now when I am with you it is different - I never want anyone else then—I am quite satislied.'1 She was silent for an instant out of sheer happiness as she felt Austen's clasp tighten round her waist, felt hi.s lips touch her hair, her lips; and then sho looked up with a queer sparkle in her eyes. "Oh, my dear, have you counted the co.'t?" she said. Have you thought what your bister what all the Society will say? Oh, Austen, Austen"—with a ludicrous imitation of Mrs. Challender's cold accents—"to think that, after all my advice at your tune "of life too you should make such a fool of yourself!"' she cried. Austen pulied diis moustache distainfully. "They may call me a fool, or any other term of opprobrium they likemuch 1 care, so long as you love me, my Tessa!" lie said. TO UK CONTIMKD.

He waa a About 12:15 o'clock on Saturday morning last, the citizens of this village were aroused from their midnight slumbers by the cry of fire. Upon investigation, it was fonnd that the fire, which originated'in the back end of the Star Dry Goods Store, on North Main street, had gained quite a little headway before the family of Thos. Carroll, who live just back of this store, first saw the blaze, and before aid could be summoned, the fire had spread to the interior of the store; also igniting the adjoining stores oh either side. On account of the lack of fire protection and an insufficient amount of water, but very little could be done to extinguish the roaring flames, which were fast spreading to the other buildings, and in less than one hour, five stores situated on this row, together with a large portion of their contents, were consumed. The structures beinc built of wood burned very rapidly. Had it not been for the very still uight and the heroic work of our citizens, the Monitor House, together with the adjoining buildings, would have suffered a like fate, as it was they were very badly scorched. The origin of {he fire is a mystery. Following are the names of those who lost and the amount consumed, as near as we can learn at the present time: F. A. 8IGLER Occupied the store on the east end of the row with a large stock of drugs, medicines, groceries, wall paper, and a part of his holiday stock which be had I just received. The telephone office was also in this store, But little of the entire stock was saved. The total loss on his stock is $2,000, with an insurance of $500. The huilding was owned by Mr. Sigler and his brother, Dr. H. F. Sigler, which was valued at $1,000, with no insurance. Mr. Sigler is now in the old "Pot-latch" buildingr on Howell street, with the stock that was saved. His stock will soon be replenished and he will sojm be running the same as ever. ECGl.XE CAMPBELL Occupied the next building with full line of jewelry, clocks, watches, musical instruments, guns, ammunition, etc. Two show cases, besides what little jewelry was in his safe was all that was rescued. Mr. Campbell's loss on his stock and tools is about §800 with an insurance of $300. The building was owned by J. H. Barton, who also had tools in the building. Mr. Bartons loss on building and tools is $400, with no insurance. Mr. Campbell has purchased a lot on the west side of the postoffice building and is erecting a temporary building, and will soon be ready to do business again. He will erect a brick building in the spring. The next store was occupied by SHAVER A COMPANY Occupied the adjoining building with a large stock of dry goods, groceries, boots and shoes, etc. But a very small portion of the goods were saved. This company came from helsea last spring and had gained a nice trade. Their loss is about $8,000, with an insurance of $5,000. It is undecided whether they will start in business here again or not. ^ Mr. R. C. Auld, who occupied the upper story of this building as a lodging room," barely escaped with th© clothes that he wore. His loss will be about $500 with no insurance. He had many valuable medals consumed which he had spent considerable money and time to procure. The building was owned by Mrs. Martha Beal, of Northyille, which was valued at $1,200, and was insure for $700. JOHX MCQUINNESS Occupied the next building with a stock ot boots and shoes, groceries, etc. He had just received a large invoice of boots and shoes. His entire stock was burned. His loss is $2,000, with an insurance of $1,000. Just what Mr. McGuinnesa will 1o in regard to starting in business again ib thi£T place*, is dtod Miag Tressa Staffin, of Chelsea, occupied a part of this store with a stock of millinery goods, a greater portion of which was saved. Not insured^ She is now located in a part of Ira McGlockney's crockery store. The building was owned by l&n. Wm. Dolan, and was valued at 1700! with no insurance. This is a hard blow to Mrs. Dolan, as the rent of thU building was her main support. 7. B. WRIGHT Occupied the next store with a large! stock of clothing, gents' furnishing goods, groceries, etc. Having mor$ t^me than the other losers, Mr, Wright was fortunate in securing a greater, part of his clothing, bat his entire, stock of hats, caps and groceries wtirti consumed. His loss by fire and damaged goods is $1,200, with an ins^u-anc^ of $500. He is now located in the town hall, where he will remain until another place can be obtained. Mri Wright came from Dansville to this place last spring and has succeeded ill gaining an excellent trade. The building was owned by L. H< Beebe, of Munith, which was not insured. Mr. Beebe also owned a barii which was burned, with no insurance. The store and barn were valued at $700. GEO. W. SYKES ft CO. Occupied the next store with a large stock of dry goods, groceries, bats.' caps, etc., etc., but it being built ot brick, the fire was controlled at this point, and did not spread any farther^ A large portion of the stock i^as re*, moved from the building, but the. damage was not very gteat, and was; fullv covered by insurance. Tb§ building was owned by Jno. McGuinness and was somewhat damaged bf the fire, but is fully insured. O. A. SIGLER Lost about $50 on damaged ffoctifa that were removed from bis furniture store, which was fully covered by insurance. The store building of G. W, Reason and the hardware store of San ford Reason were damaged quite a little,' but neither of them were insured. As we go to press this (Wednesday)^ evening, the agents representing thai different insurance companies that were involved are here adjusting the losses of those who were fortunate enough to be insured. Tn all probability the burnt district, will be rebuild during next summer, if not before. When the 6ld wooden buildings are replaced by brick ones, Pinckney will make a much better appearance. J. S.

"Doctor, I have a confession to make,'1 said the man. "I have been taking morphine fc r a year and a half, and I am now under a complete mastery of the drug. I want to be cured. I took it tir.-t because I was very much troubled with nervous headaches and I had read of the pleasing effect of the opiate. Hut nothing 1 had ever road equalled the reality. My early oxperiences were blissful beyond any power of mine to describe. It seemed to me 1 had never known before what life was. While I \v. s under the influence of the drug there was no trouble in the world. Hut to get those effects right along, gradually I had to increase my doses of morphine, and when I was not under the influence of it I was more and more miserable. I take forty grains a day how, and when the effects of a doso have passed away I am in hell itself. I cannot attend to business - I can do nothing. Will you help me. I honestly want to be cured." "I will help you", said the ^doctor, '•but you must come here for your injections, and you must not take morphine without my knowledge.'1 The patient, stricken with remorse over his frightful condition, agreed to do what the doctor required, and two or three or even four times a day the doctor would take the hypodermic syringe und throw from eight to twelve grains of morphine into the patient's blood. Day by day, however, he reduced the amount of morphine, until within the space of five weeks he had got it down from an average of thirty grains to throe of four grains. One day. however, he appeared in the doctor's office, apparently in quite as curious a condition of exeitoment as on the day of his first visit. "I must have more morphine, doctor, than you are giving me," ho ci'ied, "I cannot live without it. I am going cra/y. 1 would rather die and have it than not have it ami live. I cannot irct along with a pitiable three or four \ grains a day." Tho doctor assured him that ha could not accede to any such demand, i whereupon the patient demanded back his syringe. The doctor took the patient's little" syringe from a drawer and, throwing it on the floor, crushed it beneath his heel. The morphine maniac shrieked that ho could get an- | other syringe eatfyX enough, und so saying, he rushedVut of the office. The doctor saw the' patient's wife that afternoon, saw his father, mother find sister, and explained to them that the only way to continuo the cure of the patient wad to put him under re* straint After talking the matter over the wife and friends agreed that the unfortunate victim should be put away in a retreat in the hope of a final cure. This settled, the doctor went to a nurse's training school and hired three strong men nurses. When the morphine maniac returned home that night and walked into his own room he found himself securely trapped. ">'ow," said the doctor kindly, "we want to cure you. The only way to cure you is to put you in some place where you will not be able to get morphine except as it is pres -ribed by a physician. If you will voluntarily sign the necessary papers there will be no trouble. If you refuse to sign them we will commit you in proper form.11 "I will never sign anything," cried tho patient bitteriy and wildly, and by this time ho looked and behaved like a madman, "and I defy you to commit me." He rose from his scat and began to gesticulate so wildly that at a,motion from the doctor the three nurses took hold of him. Two well-known physicians were called in, who certified that the patient was.ir/esponsible because of the morphine hublt, and that restraint was absolutely necessary. With these certificates and the application of his nearest relatives a legal commitment was secured, Hnd the next day the morphine maniac wa9 imprisoned in a private usylura. There the process of decreasing hia daily doses of the drug went on, hia health was gradually improved under the influence of exoerciaa und diet *od throt months afterwards ho came out cured. The desire for those beautiful dre ims with blackest hell on the other side of them had passed away. Ha has become a natural, healthy raun again—a good husband and an honest, truthful citizen. To secure morphine when they want it, a man or woman uuder the influence of that habit will do anything. There is no petty theft to which they will not resort. Nearly all the druggists who c;in be porsu nJed to soil morphine sell it at extravagant prices, so that frequently the morphine habit entails an outlay of from $rt to $10 a week on the morphine cater. It will be seen, therefore, that unless a man or woman is comparatively well off the expenditure is a serious mutter, and it is no wonder, therefore, that morphine fiends on small salaries become thieves and defaulters and that women of moderate means with this insatiable appetite upon them wiil eagerly sell their virtue for the means of gratifying it. With these facts in sight it is not difficult for anybody to trace exactly what the effort of this awful habit is on the life of a family and, therefore on the well-being of society. The habit manufactures criminals more rapidly than any other one tiling in existence, not excepting bad whiskey. The cravings .which a drunkard has for arink is simply a passing fancy when compared with the insane yearning and reaching out for morphine which distinguishes a man or woman who is a slave to the habit. A mm or worn in may drink for years and get drunk every night in tho week, and then their friends, may legitimately hope for a cure. But a man or woman who is given over to the habit of taking morphine has about as nuiny chances of escaping from his thraldom as the man who goes over Niagara Falls, without the assistance of a barrel or rubber suit, has of escaping death. If tho victim is a woman her morals are wiped out as though they were simply marks on a shite, and unless her husband has the means of putting her in tho asylum their home is speedily broken up and the woman's conduct becomes so loose and irresponsible and altogether disgraceful that ha is compelled tqBdiscard her, and sho shares tho fate of the women of the street. This picture is by no means an exaggeration. The question which naturally arises in the mind of anybody who contemplates it for a moment is how men und women become slaves to a h;tbit who^o consequences are so awful. Probably tho great majority of people who are addicted to morphine to-day have been made acquainted with its use by reputable physicians. At some* time or another they have suffered fi'o:n neuralgia or inll.wnmatory rheumatism and physicians have prescribed morphine for them when they were suffering exeruieiating and unbearable pain. "ifective Porioi of Contagious Diseases. \t\ the (llasgow Medic,il Journal Dr. Jas. Fiiilaysou contributes an article, in which lie has collected and tabulated tho views of recent authorities on the infective and incubation period in contagious diseasos. The author has drawn up three tables, one showing the various views of well-known authors as to the infective period, another showing the period of incubation, und a third showing the period of quarantine necessary to inforce in cases where the patient has been exposed to infection, before they should be allowed to be considered safo to mix with others. Some such rules are also required as to the time when it is safe to allow healthy children to return to school, if they have brothers or sisters suffering at home from infectious diseases, especially if they themselves have once had the disease. The infective period for scarlet fever, is from seven to eight weeks; measles, three to four weeks ; Rotheln, rather less ; mumps varies from two to four weeks, and whooping-cough is usually put down to eight weeks or more.

Thrilling Stories of the Hardship! and Danger* Encountered by toe Early Bettier* of the Weet—The Tint Woman in Kentucky—Braining Indiana with an Ax The first women west of the Alleghenies were Mrs. John Draper und ber^ daughter Mary (who became the wife of William Ingles) when, about 18-iH, several familieu moved just over the crest of the low Allegheny divide, where now stands Blaeksburg, Va., and made a settlement called Draper's Meadows. Having no sister, Mary (Mr*. Ingles) had played altogether with her brother and grown up like & boy. She could run as well as he. She could stand and jump straight up nearly as high as her head, could le:ip into the saddle unaided, could stmd on the floor and jump over a chair back, and so on. This agility and strength stood her in stead when, in 1753, she, with other women and children, was captured by the Shawnees, and the Indians began a hasty retreat to'their homes beyond the Ohio. On the night of the third day out Mrs. Ingles gave birth to an infant daughter, but this fact caused no delay, which would have meant the death of both mother and child, for the next morning she was. able to ride on. At the Shawnee town the prisoners were divided up and scattered , but Mrs. Ingles and her baby were kept there, where she made herself so useful that after a few weeks she was taken along1 with a company of Shawnees to help make salt at Big Bone Lick, south of the Ohio. Thus she was the first white woman to enter Kentucky, long antedating the arrival there of Mrs. Daniel Boone, who is usually given that distinction. From here she resolved to escape, and abandoning her babe to tho Indians, started with an old Dutch woman who had more recently been brought to the Lick. The old woman nearly gave out, became quarrelsome, and finally attempted to kill her companion for food, Mrs. Ingels only escaping after a frightful encounter. Through such almost superhuman trials did sho persist, until at last she came to her home. She had traveled in forty days probably 500 miles. When Mrs. Ingles stopped near where Charleston, the capitol of West Virginia now stands, and' mido salt for her captors in her own kettles, she was laying the foundation of tho long race of Kanawha saltmaker3 and one of tho most extensive local industries in tho West. It was in the defense of thoir own cabin when surprised, however, that theso frontier women sometimes exhioited the most extraordinary evidence of nerve and ability. One such case was an attack in 177S upon a Dunkard family in the northern p-irt of what is West Virginia, named Bogarth. Mrs. Bogarth and two men were alone in the house, the children being out at play. Suddenly one of the little ones ran in crying: "I'gly red man coming!' 1 Upon hearing this one of the two men went to the door whoro he received a glancing shot in the breast that caused him to fall back. The Indian who had shot him sprang in immediately after, and grappling with tho other white man was quickly thrown upon the bed, and held down, while the man called to Mrs. Bogarth to give him a knifo. Not finding one at hand, she seized an ax and at one blow let out the brains of the prostrate savage. At that instant a second Indian entering the door shot doad the man engaged with his companion on the bed. Mrs. Bogarth turned on him, and, with a welldirected blow, laid open his bowles and made him shout for help. Upon this others of his party, who had been engaged with the children in the yard came to his assistance. The first who thrust his head in at the door had it cleft by the ax of Mrs. Bogarth and fell lifeless to the threshold. Another, catching hold of the feet of his wounded, bawling companion, drew him out of the house, whereupon the woman, with the aid of tho first white man, who had somewhat recovered ; succeeded in closing and fastening the door, und the exertions of the remaining savages could not force it open. All the children in the ynrd had been murdered, but their mother had killed three Indians to pay for it. Similar heroism was shown by Mrs. John Bush, who in 17!H lived in the Muskingum Valloy, Ohio. Two of her children — t.here were always a 1 rge flock of thorn around the cabins of these frontier people-had been sent away early in the morning to drive up the cattle. Hoaring their screams Mr. Bush star ted out, when he was mot at the door by an Indian, who snatched away hia gun and shot him with i t Bush fell across the threshold and the redskin drew his knife to icalp him, when Mrs. Bush ran to the assistance of her husband, and with an ax struck the savage with such force that the ax fastened itself in hi* shoulder and was pulled off the handle when he jumped back. She then di god her husband into the hoi closed the door. By this timi Indians had come up, and deavoring in vain to force open* the door they began shooting through itfbut the woman remained uninjured, though eleven bullets passed through her clothing and some grazed her »kin, until neighbors carao and drove the Indians away, but could not save tho two children. Pleasauter stories sre those of women and girls who with such ngtt and skillful woodcraft have taken long missions to carry help was needed or to get powder. Such was the daring exploit of pretty Elizabeth Zane. She was tho sister of Col. Ebone/.er Zane, after whom Zanesville, O., was named, but who in 17b2 was near tho fort at Wheeling. A sudden alarm caused everybody exoept those at Zane's house to hasten into the stockude, among whom was the colonel's young sister, who had just returned from school at Philadelphia and was totally unused to these wild scenes. The attack was fierce and prolonged, ;.nd tho powder gave out before the redskins showed any signs of retreating. In this emergency it became necessary to replenish their ammunition from Col. Zane's house, which was 2:bout fifty paces distant. It was therefore proposed that one of their fleetest men should endeavor to reach the house, get a keg of powder, and return with it The enterprise was full of the keenest danger, yet many volunteers presented themselves for the task. Among them was Elizabeth Zane. She was young athletic, and fearless. "You have not one man ' to spare," she pleaded. "If 1 fail—it is only a girl, who will not bo missed in the defense of the fort Let me go!1' Her services were accepted. Divesting herself of impeding skirts, she stood ready for the hazardou3 adventure, and when the gate was opened she bounded forth, buoyant with youthful confidence of success. Wrapt in amazement, the Indians beheld her, but shouting: "A squaw! a squaw!1' disdained to interrupt her progress to her brother's door. Then Col. Zane fa«tenecl a tablecloth about her waist, and, emptying into it a keg of powder, again the door was opened- and sho darted out. The Indians wore no longer passive. Ball after ball sung around her ears, but norm touched her, and in a moment her flyinjr feet had carried tho precious burden safely into the fort. The Food of Han. The lower mammals live and flourlsn with comparatively little change of diet; not so with man. He demands food not only dissimilar in its actual grosser nature, but differently prepared. I a wood, for the efferent nervous impulses, on which the digestive processes depend, to be proporly supplied, it has become necessary that a variety of efferent impulses (through the eye, ear, nose, palate) reach the nervous centers, attuning thorn to harmony, so that they shall act, yet not interfere* with one another. Cooking greatly alters the chemical composition, the mechanical condition, and in1.*..consequence, 'the flavor, the digestibility. and the nutritive value of foods. To illustrate: meat in its raw condition would present mechanical difficulties, the digestive fluids permeating it less completely; »n obstacle, however, of far greater magnitude in the case of most vegetable foods. By cooking, certain chemical compounds are replaced by others, while some may be wholly removed. As a rule, boiling is rot a good form of preparing meat, because it withdraws not only salts of importance, but proteids and the extractive* —nitrogenous and other. Beef te valuable chiely because of thes extractives, though it also contains a little gelatin, albumin, and fats. Salt meat furnishes less nutriment, a large part having been removed by the brine; notwithstanding, all persons at times, and some frequently, find such food highly beneficial, the effect being doubtless not confined to the alimentary tract.—Pop.

A propos of the new organization, Mrs Foster, suys: • The Iowa delegation deeply regret the course they were obliged to take in withdrawing from the W. C. T. LT. convention. They have been iissoeiated in the national temperance union since its organize tion. They have had their lull share of burden and of reward in this wur ag linst thu drinking usuages of society. The conviction has been growing in the W. C. T. U. ol Iowa that separation must come sooner or •liiter. The lust state convention adopted a resolution empowering the delegation to take such action us the exigencies of the case demanded, with the possibility of separation in their uunUs when so doiny. We arc mill constitutionally auxiliary to tho National union and must remain so until the next atuAial meeting ol tho Iowa society. The provisional coimu.itice to day appointed by the nun-purtisati women who met at the cafl of Mrs Watson of Pennsylvania, are able womqp, and will begin aggressive work at once. We shall make no wur upon the old society ; it is dear to ua, lor we have, put many years ot hard work iuio its development and wi->h for it all success in its many lines of Christiau work. There are, however, lur,re numbers of women who wish to do le.:itimat" tern perance work and will not, consent to the mortage of tceir ]ioiitical in. uence. Hundreds uf HiinrHtcr> why caiuioi give their support to a partisan organi at on have urged u» to the. stej> we have taken. For myself 1 expect our action will greatly •noddy tlie p r'isan course of tue National union. The lines ol' partisanship buiug delinately itr iwn wiil force many women to think critically and come to legal conclusions. We ure so sure our position is I heonly cons.atent one for a moral reform association to take that we believe the Christian public will sustain us in it. CluMM'itiLr Campbell.

It is given to very few people, either men or women, to feel the sense of perfect happiness which came to Austen Bevan during the first few weeks of his engagement. He had known so little of the follies and pleasures of youth that this new unlooked for happiness came like a sudden burst of sunshine into his life and transformed and glorified it. His friends might disapprove: Mrs. Callender might, and did, prophesy evil things; but Austen, confident in his own and Tessa's perfect love, only smiled in calm indUYerence and incredulity, and was svipn. mely happy. For threu or four weeks ihis state of perfect bliss lasted; then the first clouds arose. For more than a fortnight Tensa had been anxiously looking for a letter from Mr. Cleveland. -She had already received one short note from him, in which, regretting that he had no definite news of Antony to tell her, he had spoken of an actress, then playing in an obscure London theatre, who, from his description, might prove to bo Antony Hevan\s wife. lie had promised to follow this trace up and inform Tessa of its success or failure; and she was now anxiously expecting the letter. She grew more anxious day by day; for Mrs. Hovan was extremely unwell. She had been more or less of an invalid for the past five years; but she now very rarely left her room, and it was evident, even to Tessa's inexperienced e.yr>, that each day her hold on life grew feebler. The news would come too late if it did not arrive very soon. Tessa thought s;idiy sometimes, as she watched the old lady's failing steps and pale face; and so she looked anxiously each morning, for the letter which was so long in coming. "There'is a letter for you, Tessa,"' Austen said one morning as Tessa entered the broakf;ist-room. So far she had generally contrived to be down stairs before the postman came, so that she might receive and read her letters und sturbed by any questions concerning the writers or contents. Mrs. Calender had alwrays been inquisitive concerning her correspondence, and lately Austen had .developed a similar curiosity. Tessa —who had been very anxious that this particular letter should not bo seen by the authorities—was conscious that she blushed and looked guilty as she took up the letter, and its bold writing and crested envelope, which lay by her plate. Austen glanced at the changing face curiously. He waited a few moments; then, finding that Tessa did not as usual open her letter, but slipped it into the pocket of her dress, he gently, but with an indefinable of coldness and suspicion in his "That is Cleveland's crest, Tessa! What is he writing to you about?" *'How can I tell? I haven't read it yet," Tes.-ja answered coldly. '•Are you not going to road it?" '•By-and-by. Just at present tho calls of hunger are too pressing,"' Tessa answered carelessly. ••Hive mo a piece of that pie, please, and romember it was curiosity that drove Eve out of Paradise.1" She smiled brightly into his faco; Austen had n;> answering smile. Callender's comments on the letd already excited jealous doubts la mind; and Tossa's evasive answers and reluctance to read it seemed to conlirm his suspicions. For tho first time since their, engagement he left the table abruptly, and drove otT to business without bis usual atTectionate farewell. Tesoa heard the dog-cart drive from the door, and felt sorry and amused. She was too much dolighted at the news "-wjtiic:h Cleveland's letter contained to 3i*irea8 her mind over Austens' 8 ill-tempeTw, ••I have good newiriijia time," Cleveland wrote. "The actress I mentioned in my laat letter is Anthony Sevan's wife. 1 called on her yesterday, and saw both her and Anthony. He looks very thin and ill, and I am afraid times aru bad with them. He is dolighted at the idea of seeing his mother and will come any time you like to fix. I fancy he entertains very bitter feelings toward Austen and his sister, for he says that, if it had not been for them, the quarrel would have been made up long ago. I enclose his address. He will bo in I'ennington by the time this letter reaches you, and will stay there until it is convenient for you to arrange a meeting with Mrs. Bevan. I need not tell you to keep this a profound secret from Austen and Mrs. Cullender. Pray present my" respectful compliments to the esteemed lady.'1 Tessa could not ;if first decide whether to tell Mrs. Bevan tho good news at once, or reserve it until siie could definitely tix a time for the meeting between the mother and son. She decided ultimately upon the latter course. The suspense and excitement would, she thought, be more than Mrs. Bevan in her enfeebled state could bear with impunity, and she was besides hopeful that the meeting might not be very long delayed. The letter arrived on a Tuesday, and on the following Thursday Austen and his sister were to attend a scientific conver-azione given by the Mayor of I'cnnington. They would be compelled to leave home early, as they had some distance to drive, and would probably not be back till lato. Tessa, after long and earnest deliberation, deetded to write to Anthony and ask him to meet her at the small gate at the end of the laurel path, at nine o'clot k on t h e following Thursday evening. None of the servants' rooms were on that side of the house; and Tessa concluded it would be quite possible to smuggle the visitor through the drawing-room window unobserved. The next two days did not pass very pleasantly. Aus.en was too proud to condescend to ask any further questions about the mysterious letter; but there was a constraint in his manner which Tessa tried in vain to remove. 4tIt is horrid to deceive him! But how can I help it'.'11 Tessa thought sald;y. "Say something tome, Austen,"she said coaxingly, as he came into the drawing-room on the eventful Thursday eyening, and found her s anding by the window looking out rather disconsolately into the garden, " i shall have such a long, dull evening!'1 At the touch of the little clinging lingers, Austen's lieiirt i-oftened, and, stooping, he kissed the pretty pouting lips. "How are you going to amuse yourself this evening, Tessa?" he a.^ked. •'I? Oh, I shall sit with iiunlie!M a (juick blush, earringe drive kis-eil her hand , re-entering the upstairs lo Mrs. Tessu answered, with She watched the down the avenue, und gaily to Austen; then, hou.se, she vvelit slowly Bevnn'sMroom. It wa.^ then a little after eight. At nine o'clock An'hony would be waiting at the gate, and Mrs. Heva.il had yet to be told of the surprise in store for he.v. Very gently and quietly Tessa broke the news to the old la ly, und told her the son whom for seven long years she had mourned for and vainly longed to see would soon be by her side. "You are sure you are strong enough —that it will not make you worse, auntie?" she said anxiously, as Mrs. Bevnn lay back on her pillows and gazed at.her, trembling and speechless with delight and surprise. •'Worse?' How could it? Oh, Tessa. is it really true? Shall I really se.i my boy again?"' the poor mother cried in her sweet trembling voice. "Oh, go down to him, my dear—don't keep him waiting a moment! The servants aro all at supper now. (Jo, Tessa--quick!'' With the prospect before her, a new life and strength seemed to come back to Mrs. Bevan. Her eyes brightened and her pale cheeks Hushed; with a trembling hand she smoothed her pretty gray hair and changed her cap. "My boy used to be proud of his mother's pret;y fa e: I must look my best now," she said with a pathetic little smile. "Uo Tessa!" * * * • • * It was scarcely nine o'clock; but Antony was already waiting when Tessa reached the gate. He was a little man with dark hair and eyes—was slight and fragile looking and had a timid depresst d air, as if the world had dealt hardly with him. Tessa thought. Very few words passed between them. Tessa motioned him to follow her to the house, and,unobserved took him upst'iirs and left him at the door of his mother's room. What passed in that last solemn interview between mother and son— what prayers for pardon—what vows of repentance and amendment—the infinite love which pitied and forgave all—wns too sacred lor any other eyei to witness-any other ears to hear. Tho evening wont on; the twilight deepened into night; Mrs. Bevnn'a maid came before retiring to risk If her mistress required anything mom» and was sent away by watchful Tessa —and still the low voices rose and f*U unceasingly within the bed-room. Tessa grew frightened at last. It was getting late Austen and his sister might at any moment return; but yet nhu hesitated to shorten the interview. Shu opened the door gently. "Mr. Bevan, you must go! It is terribly late!" she said hurriedly. ••He is ^ust going, love,11 Mrs. Bevan answered .gently. She was lying back on he- pi lows, with her hand cla-ped in her son's. She looked very pale and tired but there was a new expression of peace in her soft eyes. "Only make haste!" Tessa pleaded. She went out of the room again, and waited impatiently in the pu.ssy.ge. She could hear Mrs. Bevan's soft voice, her son's deep broken accents; then came a choking*sob, a low cry,as Antony clasped his mother in a last embrace- then the silence of an eternal farewell. Antony came out by-and-by. He did not speak; silently, and with blinding tears in his eyes, he followed Tessa out of ihe house and down tho laurel walk. As he reached the gate he managed to murmur u few broken words of gratitude, to which Tessa lis. ened with unconcealed impatience. "You will write and let me know how she is, Miss Cardine? I shall remain at Pennington until t»h<ar from you," he said anxiously us Tessa almo. st pushed him outside the ga'o — which was always loekeJ and turned the key. "Oh, yes, I will write Tessa answered hurriedly; an he still lingerel, she- turned and ran hastily back to the house. She reached it just in time. As Antony turned from the gate the carriage drove down the narrow lane. Mrs. Callender w a s . asleep in her corner; but Austen's quick eyes noticed the slight ligure which turned quickly from the guto in the direction of the Priory. He leaned from the window and looked after it anxiously. It seemed strangely familiar, he thought. Who was it—Cleveland? Bui Cleveland was in London. Austen had received a note from him only that morning. Who could it be? And then, as he still looked, his heart gave a quick throb of anger and suspicion, for surely the little white at tight— only go!" and then, Had real love t/l.nded character, and figure flitting qu ckly up ihe laureiwalk could be no one but Tessa! He had hated himself for the unworthy suspicion, yet couid not cast it from him, not even when he wet into his mother's room and found Tessa sitting by the lire reading. He tancied that^hc1 greeting was a little coid and const r a i n e d - - w a s quite sure that she blushed and hesitated ius he asked how she had spent t h e evening, and if she bad been out in the garden, and his doubts rapidly deepened into curiosity.

TO UK CONTINUED. . Hard vs. Soft Water. It may be pleasant to those who livo in a region of couniry where only hard water is to be had, to be informed, by so good an authority as Dr. Tidy, tho well-known chemist, of the result,of his observation on the use of hard water for culinary and domestic purposes. He has this to say: 1. Hard water is the best dietetically, because of the lime. 2. It makes better tea, although not so dark colored, owing to the fact that soft water dissolves the bitter extractive matte-r which color the tea, but ruins the aroma. 8. It quenches tho thrist, which soft water does not. 4. It does not dissolve lead or organic matter, which soft water does r>. It is generally good colored, soft water being as a rule dark colored and unpleasant looking; hence, in places like Manchester, supplied with soft water, they always put it (in hotels) in dark bottles to hide the color. A soft water, however is a better detergent, and requires less soap. For a residential town a water which h a s over ten degrees of hardness would be best. For manufacturing towns a soft water would be the most adusible for commercial considerations only. It will require $100,000 sions for the next ,\ ear. to pay ttie pen- A New Kind ot has been put in operation by the manufacturers of Dr. Pitrce'B medicines.

To make amends Norman afterward has Williamson, alias En field, appointed captain of the steamer, "Northern Pinctney File School Column. Eehoea, Item* and Opinion*, "toy «fcu« Belle," which is wrecked. Norman who thinks W. wrecked the vessel intensionally, had him arrested, and W flees from justice. He had at the time of the wreck rescued Stella, who is really Norman's daughter, and left her at an obserurt* place on the great lakes. He afterwards takes her with -him to Bald Point, where ho makes a living" by keeping summer boarders, fishing, etc. The wreck of tho vessel and loss of many lives, together with his wrongs, gradually prey upon Enfield's mind till Stella fears insanity. Mother Foresight knows his secret. Chester Norman is on the lake Survey and becomes acquainted ^rith the Enfields. Charles Norman, his foster father, calls to see him and is recog nized by En field. He and Dr. Valerian, who is a pretty thorough knave. allow Norman to depart in a small boat with a squall coming in. Mother F. gives tho alarm and Norman is saved.

CHAFIEU IX. forgotten altogether—that the last word—last message should be for Antony! ' With a passionate eob he raised the shrunken form in nib arms, looked once into the face, then placed it reverently back upon the pillowa. '•Too late, Tessa! It is all ended now,11 he said, with a great borrow, a passionate regret in hi» voice. But Tessa, with an expression of awe on her face, had turned away, and was looking from the dead woman's pale face to the golden dawn. "Kuded, do you sayP" she said, gently. "Nay; I think it is%just beginning for her.1' Hour after hour would Tessa sit by her side, holding1 her hund, listening to the stories of Antony's boyhood, and receiving the last messages of eternal love and perfect forgiveness. Mrs. Callonder would come and stand by the bed in awkward silence, or creep about the room in her creaking shoes; and Austen would bring hi*. book and sit silently in tho shadow of the window curtains; but Mrs. Bevan wanted neither of them; it was only Tessa she needed now--Tessa's strong young ringer round which her feeble clasp lingered—Tessa's love and tenderness, which went with her to the very gate of the dark valley, and cheered her through the mists and shadows. Auston grew to feel ashamed of his unworthy suspicions and evil thoughts as he watched the girl's care and devotion. Sometimes he thought ho would tell her what he had seen and ask for an explanation; but still ho hositatod. If he was wrong—if it was not Tessa whom ho had seen in the laurel-walk—tho question would be an insult; and, if she —Auston could not trust himself to think of that alternative. So ho waited; and day after day the shadow of the coming change grow darker over tho household. "She has been much worse to-day. Austen," Mrs. ('allendor said sadly one evening, as she met her brother in tho hall, "^ho does not seem to know me—any one but lessa. And Bho has talked so much of Antony today. 11 It was years since tho name of the one who had disgraced them had boon mentioned between the brother and sister; and Mrs. Callender hesitated and lowered her voice as she spoke. "She has been a little delirious, I think, for she speaks as if she had seen and spoken to him quite lately.1' "Who is with hor now?'1 "Only Tessa; she does not seem to want any one else,1* Mrs. Callender said, with a sigh. Auston went up-stairs and entered his mother's room. One glance told him that his sister was right—that the end was very near. He felt the unaccustomed tears rush Into his eyes as he looked at the still peaceful face and the sunken eyes, which were radiant with a great calmness—a perfect peace. The evening was very hot and oppressive, and Tessa had opened the windows to admit all tho air possible. Mrs. Bevan looked up as Austen entered, and her eyes lingered for a moment on his fate; but there was no trace of recognition in that quiet indifferent gaze, and her eyes soon turned from him and rested on Tessa's fa.ee. "Sing it again, please, Tessa,11 the low voice said. "The same hymn, dear?1' Tessa had to stoop to catch the feoble words. ' " "Yes—tho same." There wore blinding tears in Tessa's eyes; but, with an etlort, she steadied her voice and sang one of the hymns which sho had learned long ago in the convent, while Mrs. Bo van lay and listened with closed eyes and a smiling face. The night passei, and the dawn was breaking before sho spoke again. "Tessa, you will remember—my love, my. best love to Antony,11 she said in a clear distinct voice; and then the tirod eyes closed. Au>ten sprang forward with a little passionate, incoherent cry . It was so hard that she should go likethis—that he, who had loved her so well and dearly, who had been such'a good son, led such a blameless life! should be Tessa was in *he garden one evening, saunieringi up and down the laurel-walk. On the following day the funeral was to take place, and the house was already full of visitors— cousins and nephews who had been invited to attend. No one had been leii out or forgotten but the one person whom poor Mrs. Bevan would have wished to bo present, Tessa thought sadly. The dead woman, who had been of so little account to anyone in her lifetime, bad suddenly become invested with all the dread importance which death gives oven to the meanest and lowliest ones. Mrs.Callender, who had systematically overlooked and ignored hor when alive, now spoko of hor with lowered voice and in a tone of deepest respect and affection, which half amused, hulf irritated Tessa. The girl had slipped unobserved out of the drawing room—where the female relatives wore discussing under their breath the merits of the dead woman—into tho cool scented garden. Austen and moat of the gentlemen were still in the dining room, and sho was free to wander up und down undisturbed. She opened the gate by-and-by and looked out in o the quiot lane. The twilight was gathering rapidly; hero and there a glow worm twinkled its tiny lamp on the hedge, and a few stars shone feebly in tho clouded sky. As she stood leaning against the gate she noticed a man's tigure approaching down the lana. He walked slowly, and his hat was pulled down over his eyes, and, as he came nearer, Tessa recognized Antony Bevan. With a quick impulsive movement sho went forward to meet him and held out her hand. "Mr. Bo van—you know?" she asked softly. "Yen, I know. I got your note this morning; and I could not rest—I folt I must come; I fancied I might possibly j see you,11 he said hurriedly. "Whon was it?11 "Throo days ago,11 lessa glanced anxiously back at the house. The dining-room windows overlooked the laurel walk; but, to hor relief, the blinds were drawn down and the gas lighted. "Did she speak of mo?1' "Speak of you? I don't think she ever thought of anyone but you,11 Tessa said with sad directness. "Sho sent you a message with her dyin<" breath.11 "What was it?" Resolutely Anthony forced himself to speak calmly; but the drawn face and set lips told Tessa how hard tho struggle was, and her heart ached for him. " *My love to Anthony—my best love'—that was all. Sho never thought of Austen—of anyone but you,11 Tessa said sadly. "I am glad of it; confound him!11 and Anthony's eyes flashed angrily. "He has kept us apart all these years. She would have forgiven me and sent for me long ago; but she dared not because of him.11 Tessa's cheeks flushed. It was one thinsr to be sorry for Antony, but quite another to stand by and hear Austen blamed-whether justly or unjustly mattered not to her one whit. She was his chosen wife; Bhe must stand up for and defend him loyally before all the world. She looked up with indignant eyes. ' "ABk yourself-was there no cause?" she said coldly. "Contrast his life, his pure blameless life—with yours:11 "Oh, I know! Austen was always a saint"—and Antony gavo a bitter Bneoring laugh—"always the straitest member of the atraite.it sect of the Pharisees! He was never like other young men—never knew their temptations and follies.'1 "You have no light to speak against him"—Tes-a raised her pretty pale face proudly—"to mo at all events— and I will not listen!11 "Ah, I forgot! ] and Anthony put a detaining hand gently upon the girl's arm. "No; 1 had no right to do so. You are to bo Austen's wife, I hear?'1 "Ves.11 To sa looked bsick into tho eyex which wero regarding hor with an odd companion with a defiant smilo. "Ah he was always tho lurky ono!'1 —and Antony gave nn envious laugh. "He gets all tho good things of life! And so you are to be my sister Miss CardineP Well, I don't envy Austen many of his pos essions, but I do envy him his wife,'' he added with a hard laugh. Tossa looked at him wis! fully. "You are married yoursolf, «re you not?11 she asked. "Is your wife living? 11 "Yes; we have three children now. I dare say they have told you hard things about my wife, Miss Cardine— have they not? She is not a lady, you knew; but she is a good woman, and she has been a good wife to me. Poor Milly!" he went on, with the old indetinuble regret in his voice. *'I should like you to know her some duy, Miss Cardine. I think you would like her.11 "I should like to see the children. Perhaps Austen will let me come some day." Tessa said doubtfully. Antony laughed. "If you wait till then—till Austen forgives," ho said, with an expressive gesture which finished the sentence as completely a»s any syoken words could have done. "But you will be equally welcome, Miss Cardine, whether you come with his permission or without it. Let me give you my address/1 He wrote a few words on a card and gave it to Tessa. "That will always find me. And now 1 want to ask of you one great favor—let me see my mother once more.11 Tessa shank back. "Oh, I cannot! Mr. Bevan. you ought not to ask me—Austen would bo so angry,'1 she faltered. "He need never know. Where aro thoy all now?1' "The ladies are in the drawingroom; Austen and tho gentlemen in the dining-room," Tessa answered; "but, indeed, you must not ask me. (Jo to the house, Mr. Bevan—ask Austen yourself. He will not deny you this, I am sure/1 "Go to the house—ask a favor of Austen and bo refu ed? No, Mis3 Cardino, I enn't do that,1' Austen answered firmly. "Then I am very sorry, buo I can not do what you ask/1 Tessa answered tirmly. " I have stayed too long as it is; I must fro back now." She cast an anxious glance behind her as sho spoke, then held out hor hand to Antony. •'Good-bye; I am sorry, but I cannot do it," she faltered as she met the look of intense pleading in his eyes. Vainly she tried to draw her hand from his determined clasp. "Think a little, Miss Cardine, before you refuse," he said in a low passionate voice. "Perhaps you cannot understand what this is to me—how I long to see her aga'n. No, you don't understand me—how can you? But some day, perhaps, whon the ono who loved you bo-t is lying dead and cold, and your heart is aching vainly for one last look before the earth hides the dead face "from you forever, then you will understand.'1 Tessa looked tip with awe-struck solemn eyes. Tho words sounded like a prophecy in her ears. What if Antony should be right—that some day she should long and long vainly for ono last look upon some dear dead face? She drew her hands suddenly away. "Wait here. I will see if it is possible/ 1 sho said; and, without waiting to hoar Antony's incoherent words of gratitude, sho ran quickly back to the house. TO BE CONTINUED. Mummies as Medicine. Among the standard medicines quoted in the medical books of Nuremberg of 200 years ago are "portions of the embalmed bodies of men's flesh brought from the neighborhood of Memphis, whoro there aro many bodies that have been buried for more than 1,000 years, called mumia, which have been embalmed with costly salves and balsams, and smell btrongly of myrrh, aloes, and other fragrantthings/' The learned doctors of France, Germany and Italy all made gj^eafuse of this eccentric drug, and in the seventeenth century grievous complaints arose of its adulteration. Mr. Poinet, chief apothetary to the French king, recorded that the king's physician went to Alexandria to judge for himself on this matier, and, having made friends with a Jewish dealer in mummies, was admitted to his storehouse, whore he saw piles of bodies. He asked what kind of bodies were used and how they were, prepared. Tho Jew informed him that he took such bodies as he could get, whether they died of some disease or some contagion. He embalmed them with the sweepings of various old drugs, myrrh, aloes, pitch and gums; wound tiffin about with cere cloth and then dried them in an ovon, after which he sent them to Europe and marveled to see that tho Christians were lovers of such filthiness. But even this revelation did not suffice to put mummy physic out of fashion, and wo know that Francis I of France always carried with him a well-tilled medioine chest, of which this was the principal ingredient. A traveler a so records how one of his friends found in the tombs of (ihizoh a jar carefully sealed, which he opened and found to contain such excellent honey that ho could not resist eating a good deal of it, and was only checked in his feast' by drawing out H hair, whereupon ho investigated further and found the body oi' an ancient Egyptian baby in good condition and adorned with jewels.' He does not record how he enjoyed that meal in retrospect. Imagine dining off tho honeyed essence ot a baby Pharaoh! Lack j* Cfaenej. Fort Smith (Ark.) Times, Oot. 10, Mr. D. H.

A good newspaper is the grandest temporal good that God has given to the; people of this century. My idea of a good newspaper is a mirror of lift? itself. Some people complain because the evil of the world is reported as well as the good. The evil must be printed as well as the g^od, or how would we know what to </u ird ajjainst, or "what to reform? There is a chance for discrimination as to how much space shall be given to reports of such things as priz^ lights; but the newspaper that merely presents the fair and the beautiful and the bright side of life, is a misrepresentation. That family is best qualified for the duties of life who have told them not only what goot.l there is in the world, but what evil is in the world, and to select the good and reject the evil. •'Doctor,*1 sae said, " I have sent to consult you on a very serious matter. 1 have for a long time Buffered f*om pains iii my head, and have consulted many physicians without receiving any benefit.

They were sent there for punishment for crimes they have committed, not as subjects of charity.—Ann Arbor Courier. r On Monday evening, just after the convicts at the Jackson state prison had been marched into the chapel for night schocl, a dynamite bomb was exploded in the west window on the south side of the old west wing, shattering the window-sill badly and cracking the heavy stone wall for some distance, but did not loosen the bars so it would be possible for anyone to escape. The suspected perpetrators are three prisoners engaged on the Webster contract that were considered trust-worthy men. The officers state that while they are not fully satisfied whether the bomb came from the inside or ontside, they think they have the right parties. Shortly after the explosion a fire was discovered in the basement of the building used by the Fargo shoe company. This was probably a part of the scheme to break prison.- Stockbridge Svn.

CHM-AOO, NOV. 22.- The great eourt thus far made by tht* defense in me Cronin murder trial is in the direction of au alibi for tue men charged with the conspiracy. O'SulliYan's attorney is making a strenuous effort to shield his client undet the cover of this form of defense. The questions put to Witu ess Mulch aey elicited the statement that, on the niyht of the murder, O'Sullivan goi up wheu the men who were out , came to the door aud let them in. The 1 witness got up at about 7 o'clock on tlie ; following morning, leaving O'fc>ullivan iu ] bed. O'Sullivan, he said, never left the bouse that night. The witness' memory as to events immediately preceding and , following the night of the murder was de- I fective. Then the cross-examination took I uu unexpected and sensational turn, the evident mteutiou being to direct suspicion toward the witness as the mau who drove the white horse which d;o\v Dr. Cronin to his death. Severul other employe* of O'Sullivan gave evidence iu the line of an alibi lor their employer. I John Dwyer, a member of tho Clan-na- (!•.el, declared that he had never heard of an inner circle in the organization. On the cros-.-e .animation this passage occurred: "Now this order h.id what vvus called au t'xecuti t°e body.-" "Yes, air." ••Were you ever permitted to know tho names oi the e.vecutive body''' ' • . \ D , sir." "That was a secret from you !" ''Yes, air.'' ''Then you don't know whether they had au inner circle uv n o t f "No, sir." Th*J state's attorney—''That is all." This point of an inner circle is being closely pressed on witnesses who are or ha\ e been members of the Clan-na-Cael, and Dwyer s admission is significant. The prosecuting attorney, Jud^e Loneenecker, w..s en led by the delense. There •was some leg'il sM>:irriug but tlio object of calling the .jud.ue as set torth by .Mr. Fostei" Was accomplished.

Ihe brass knobs on the dresser, aad even the pouduluui ot the loud ticking old clock shone like burnished gold, reHecting the beams of tiruliglit which brightened the dusky room. The tea kettle sang merrily, and Aunt Esther passed to aud fro, preparing the evening meal, and watching for the reluru of her husband from the wood lot. A little girl stood by the western window, trying to read by the fastfading light. Her delicate fa^o, long, shining curls and dainty apparel, formed a bright contrast to the plain room. "What are yvon looking for in the almauac, my child? jour eyes-" "I'm trying to find i 1 ' You'll injure when Thanksgiving is ; but 1 can't see any long- er. " "You'll he more ant to find it in the last paper, Lucy: but lean tell you: it is a week from next Thursday.*1 "Oh, goody! so soon? We'll hure • s e *t those big turkeys, aud a jolly tint, won't we?" "I'm airaid not, dear, what put fbftt in yoar little head? " "Why, auntie, you told me when I first came that those turkeys were for Thanksgiving, I've thought ot'ifc erer rinee.*' Oh, yea, I did tell yon BO, Lucy, but 1 meant that we raise them to sell for Thanksgiving. We havu not kept the day sine* we were tirst married; your ancle doesn't care for such things. I miiswed it sadly at tirst, for we always kept the holidays when I was a girl at Jhowe, but I've got use to it now after all these years. "I don't think I could," ventured the child, looking solemnly through the tw light at the turkeys, comfortably settled for the night on the bare limbs of the old applo tret*. "Well, don't shed any tears yet, Lucy; if you can get Uncle Jerry to consent, I'll do IUV part. Better not speak of it until after supper," t*lio added in a whisper, as she heard her husband's footsteps at the door. So, with what patience she could command. Lucy wainted till tho supper was cleared away, ami they were gathered around tho crackling woodtire. Aunt Asther with her knitting And Uncle Jerry with his paper. , Lacy was his only sister's child, 8h* was spending sevemi months With him, while her purenis traveled IB the South, hoping to benolit her mother's health. Two brothers and one s st.er were at college, and were to spend their Christmas holidays at the farm house. 'Ibis was tho lirst time Lucy hail been so long from home, and occasionally sho sufl'ercd from homesickness; anil now, with the fear that the loved holiday was to be slighted, an attack of that dread malady wa.s certainly imminent. She felt her courage ebbing away, and hopelessly sat very still, looking straight into the tire, till all the curling, writhing tlames melted into one broad shnot of bright mistiness, and then—there were two big tears on Ler rosy cheeks. Uncle Jerry, who, underneath his hard exterior, had a really kind heart, was watching her over his paper, r»d •aw the tears, the sly, quick brush of two little white hands, and a brave effort to keep back a sob which was struggling to escape. "Homesick!" t t f c h t 'and no wonder, with two folks like us," and tor a le wanted to take her in his sooth her as her own father )ut he had so lqtfig repressed all tender ways, that lie could not manifest his sympathy. But something must be done. Rising abruptly, he took a pan from the dresser and started for the cellar.saying: "Esther, hold the light for me; I want some of them fall apples; they won't keep long." By a time a share of the fruit had disappeared, Lucy had regained her good spirits, and. with new courage, exclaimed: "Uuple Jerry, c;iu't we hare Thanksgiving this year? I'd like to.1' M n , child. What would it p MR '' liy/we'd have a jolly time. We always did at home.1* . "Yes; a big dinner one day and the doctor the n e x t " 1 "It never made me sick—never in the world.11 •« "But what*s the good, anyhow?'1 > "Mamma thinks it's good, and she's always right. Just last year papst thought we'd better not have a dinner, for mamma wasn't strong, and we were i o dteappo nted — I was. anyway I mamma put her arm round me sald: 'We'll all help and do the we ©an* for we musn't uiias keeping a holiday. When my boys and givls have left home aud goae out into the world, I want them to have the remembrance of a happy ch Id hood and a pleasant home to help Lhvm over the hard places they will tind. It will make them better men and women, I'm Bure; so order the turkey, papa.1 I remember it all, Uncle Jerry, cause 1 thought maniRja was going to cry, her voice trembled so, and I believe I should have cried myself if she hadn't said 'turkey.'" "She never had many good times to remember,11 said Uncle Jerry, thinking of their hard, orphaned hie. "Perhaps that is why she wanted her children to be always happy," suggested Aunt Ksther. "Yes, she said so once," continued Lucy, picking apple seeds out of a core; "and 1 think. Uncle Jerry, if you had some little boys and girls, you'd feel diftereut about it. But I'm your little girl this) ear; won't you do it lor rue?" She was almost frightened us she looked up and met his stern, white face. ••It's your bedtime uow, Lucy," interrupted her aunt. "We'll think it over lill njoruiny." And Lucy was glad to retire to the adjoining room, wondering what she "could have said to make Lncle Jerrv look so—so dreadful!" An hour later Jerry Winters broke the silence, which wus already becoming oppressive: "I suppose we must do something or the child will be homesick." **Ye8." answered his wife. "Don't see how 1 <;an stop ehoppin' a day, with that contract on my hands, and Jake and Steve have both be^tred oil' for Thanksgiving. 1 suppose nothing less than a turkey will satisfy that child?" "No; but we can well afford it. Who is goin<r to have our money after we are gone? We may as well muke the child happy and have a good time once in our live-*.'"' "She might be happy anyhow. It seems a waste to me, 1 must confess." "Well, Jerry, we never wasted very much that way, anil it strkes me that if we had had more holidays, sind had made the old larin house more eongenal to a young, lively spirit, we would have had our sen wiihas in oar old age*", "Esther!*' "1 know we haven't mentioned hint for years. Jeremiah; but, for all that, neither of us has lived a day without thinking of him." "Well, 1 did my dutv by him, if ever a father did by his c h i l d " "We did what we thonght was for his best good; but I fear we made some mistakes." "Ho was wild as a young coalt: nothingcould tnmehim!" Ihe lather spoke impatiently and .scowled hard, lest his face miirht show the lore aud lou^iDg in his heart. "Ho was full of life and tiery, too; and, instead of guiding him ^eutly in traces which could not gail, we bound bun, as it were, so tightly that he broke tho fetters and disappeared. We warned him to be old and stcadv, and his young spirit could not be subdued. 1 see it all no v. There were no companions for him, no 'jolly times,' as Lucy says, and noihing about the old farm worth staying for." Mo answer but a smothered groan. "There, Jerry, I ain't blaming you more than I do myself. We were wrong, and tho bov was wrong, too. If wo only knew where to lind him, we might make it all rijrht before we die. I'll wariant he has longed io return, but pride and feur have kept him back. He can't know how we long tor him, for lie never knew how nuieh we loved him; we never told him!" "Oh, Ksiher!" "WelC father, I won'ts^y anymore. All these thoughts have been crowded ilowd in my heart so lon<r that I bad to speak, und I tuJuk it'll do us good, after all." She drew nearer and laid her head on his shoulder, while tears rolled down her wrinkled cheeks, and thus they sat far into the night The next day, among the families of the neighboring farmhouses, there was but one topic ©f conversation: The invitation to spend Thanksgiving with Jeremiah Winters. The eventful day came at last. Lucy with a dozen boys and girls, made the rafters ring with their glad shouts. Downstairs the best room was filled with the hum of elderly voices recount ng "old times, ' while in the sitting-room the young people were eating apples aud'eonuting the seeds, with much jest and laughter, sly glances and blushes. In the ktchen a long table was loaded with ^ood things, while Aunt Esther, with plenty of lielp. was completing the preparations for dinner. Uncle Jerry excitedly went from room to room, trying to appear as if this sort of thiny was of common occurrence in h s house. For the tirst t me in her life, h s wile had asserted her right to <>nt»>rl>i n her fr ends, and now he felt glad llmt she had persevered. He was surprised to lind what pleasant neighbors he had. It was night, and 1he merrymaking was at its height. The walls echoed laughter and song, and from every window lights gleamed far out into the darkness. From the village depot, live mile* nway, a traveler was walking over the lonely road as if eager to join the joyous party; but when at length he camt! MI sight ot the many lights, he stopped in amassment. Nearer anil nearer be came, till through the unshaded windows he saw the friendly aoetie within. With a ylnd smile on his INCH he turned away, and, standing in the drop shadow of a pine, he watched lon^j and patiently. At last, after a host of thanks and pleasant "farewell*," all was still and only three sat in the deserted rooms. A hush fell over them, and they looked thoughtfully mlo the flickering tire. Lucy, climb.ng on her uncle's knwe, thanked him MO prett Jy tor the day's pleasure that he bent aud kissed her. Then, holding out his hand loh.s wife, he sakl: " I'h's little lady has thanked me, but we both ought to thank you. It has been aplea>ant day t o m e . " This wftsa great deal for this man to say, and thuy were silent again, but each one happy through makingoihera glad. Then tho door opened und a stranger entered. h u was tall and heavily bearded; hut a mother's eye will know her own, and, with a cry which expressed the yearning of years, 'My boy!" she was folded in his strong embrace, wi» le about them both were clusped the father's trembling arms. No one knew how long they sat together— the long separated family once more united. Lucy with wide open ev<'S, enjoyed to the utmost this crowning excitement, much pleased with the tall cousin of whom she had never heard. "Oh, John, why did you stay away so long?" ventured the mother. "1 came back ouce, tive years ago, and saw you and father through the window, lint, know ug 1 d» served no welcome, I feared to enter. To-uigtit I should have entered at all events; but when 1 saw you w th your friends atiout you, and, later, silt.ng here with clasped hands. I felt sure ot u welcome —sure that you had forgiven the past and f* It only p.ty for your way ward son. Now 1 mean to cancel the sufi fering of the past by making the luture happy." "Now, Uncle Jerry, I told you Thanksgiv ng can amount to a great deal sometimes!" and the merry 1; ti^h which followed wan not less hearty because it broke through tears of joy. LOOSE CT so! The Treaty-Making- Power. A Washington correspondent of 77/e New York Evennig l'e*t writes asfolfovrs: Frank llurd, of Oh o, has tho reputation wt being one ot the a b e s t institution:*! lawyers n either branch of congre-s, lie is now here, and intends to remain here during the winter if he shall have the good fortune to have the contest lor his seat in the lower house aga nst Koineis decided in h.s favor. He thinks that of tiiis there can be no doubt. Referring to the^report that there will be formidable opposition to the Mex can treaty abi.ng act Mr. Ilurd said that in h.s judgement there is no nted of an enabling act, and that if the president des res to have; that treaty go into effect he need only is*ue an executive proclamation announcing that the treaty has been ratilied. Mr. Hurd takes the ground that unless tho treaty in its terms expressly declares that it is not to go into effect mini some specific law shall have been enacted by congress there can be no doubt that the treaty, when ratilied and so declared by executive proclamation; is the supremo law of tho laud, mid that it repeals all acts ot congress which are inconsistent with it. This he maintains is the proper interpretation of the treaty-making power under the constitution, and it is tin* v e w which is sustained by all of the leading judicial deciMons. Tim proposed reciprocity treaty with Mexico does not mention any spec; lie act that must be passed to g.ve it oll'eet. It speaks, only ot the "necessary le.gisiatiqu^>"in the broadest way. ^ The theory which M~rT Hurd advocates is one thatjs-ifollv contested by protectionist>'-"6f the house, and by those who; while not protectionists, Dunk that the exercise of the treatymaking power by the senate, in the manner suggested by Mr. Hind, is an encroachment on the prerogative of the house and a violation of the provisions ot the constitution of tho United States which g j o to the hou e the right to originate revenue bills. If the theory that the treaty-making power is supreme is to be maiutaned, its opponents hold that it is quite possible for the senate and Ihe executive to usurp all the functions of the house in the matter of revenue legislation. Mr. Hurd does not undertake to say whether the reports that the administration is opposed to giving effect to tho Mexican treaty are true or not. But Mr. Hurd expresses a very positive opinion as to what he understands to be the policy of the treasury department with respect to specific duties. He gives credit to the reports which state that Secretary Manning is likely lo recommend to congress the substitution of specific for advalorem duties as a means for the prevention of frauds through undervaluation. Mr. llurd even says: "1 do not see how any man can advocate specific duties and be a democrat. The old historical contest between the whiffs and the democrats turned np- OK this quwtioi, and if the democracy shall declare tor spec tic ma against R-dvalorem 4aties, it will violate all of its tradition!, and will increase the U..-J— -« --."^MBS t&xatioa which will k*9» ft* \n ft«?a* by the pour.1' Mr. HardtiaAerrtaMt* -that the interrogatortoi w%i*k rfc* treasury department has seat o»t for the purpose of obtaining information upon tho tariff are directed to the substitution of specific tor ad valoremjlwtfes. "The WAV to prevent fruu.4- through undervaluation," said^Mr. llurd, "is to have elUeje-Hf' and honest collection ortieen*, find not to substitute speciho for ad valorem dMties. •LOYER RLOSSOM CO TKADS XAJQE • 33?

I gave up, having tried all remedies I knew or heard of. My neighbor, Mr* Miller, came to see me, one day, and said try Loose's Extract of Red Clover, as he had known of its working remarkable cures. I told him I had lost hope, that nothing would do me any good in this world. He insisted, and taking his hat went to the drug store and bought- me one bottle nnd urged me to try it, which I lid. Ten days afterwards I sent for two more bottles, and it was wonderful how I improved. I continued usng it and to-day I am better than I have been in years.

On anothe r occasio n an enginee r was rendere d blind by exposur e to th e light of ix powerful electri c arc. Tho intense - glaro of tho eno w is also productiv e of blindness .

Th e intens e glare of th e tropica l seas also produce s blindness , known as "moo n blindness, " erroneousl y attribute d to th e effect of th e rays of th o moon , but in realit y caused by th e sun' s rays.

I n illustratio n of thi s fact we may bimply refer to th e blind fish of tho Mammot h cave. Disease in various forms plays a par t in causin g blindness .

AT the Paris Hippodrome the chief attraction for the season was the spectacle of a lion taking equestrian exercise— the animal really mounted on the baok <\t a horse and being carried several times around an enclosure. T h e receipts accruing from this novel performance are stated to amount to more than half a million dollars. LATJGHINQ is catching and it also may be attended with pain and mortification. Miss Taggart of Plainfleld, N. J., laughed so hard at one of her escort's jokes that she dislocated her jaw. For two hours, before a doctor could be found, she suffered terrible agony. It eventually took two physicians forty minutes to get the jaw back to its socket W H E H a Chinaman 1B arrested in California he does not give the correct "celestial" same, but puts up an America combination. This is often amusing. For instance, when Hop Lee v u brought in before a San Francisoo justice he gave his name as Cabbage Cow.

One evening at dinner a rather fresh young iady turned to him and said: "Your father 1B one of the big guns of England, is he mot, Mr. F«rrar?M "He was at one time," replied the young man, politely. "He was a canon, you know.1' THE French republic is stronger today in the affections of the French people than ever before. For the first time since its establishment after the fall of the commune the world can tee no formidable dangers threatening its security. The monarchy is a ghost of the past, which rises no more from the bloojjy grave where it was laid a hundred years ago and where at last it rests in peace. WHATEVER progress has been made in the improvement of society has been secured by the exposure of its evils and the attack upon injustice, dishonesty and wrong wherever it exists. There is plenty of room for improvement; and the critics of evil in the present day are furnishing the influence which, if effective, will make the next generation better than this, as this is better than iU predecessor. IT was hardly a month after the Emperor of Germany tried to put down the excessive love of dancing among his subjects, uatil a kind of counterblast raised by the Borlin Academy of German Dances, which offered a prize for the best **new German square dance.1' But the edict from the throne evidently frightened competitors, tor the results were not very satisfactory. SHAKKBPKAUK had the richest vocatv alary and the longest lingual string to his literary kite of any Englishman, and a Buffalo school teacher has figured out that he employed «aty 16,000 words.

GENERAL SHERMAN. He 8ayi True Courage Is Pounded on Presenoo of Mind. Sir Edward Arnold in a UtUr to las tondon Tslsf raph Writes Host I&ttrtaiaiaf ly of Amtrioa's Qrsatsst Living Military Commander—A Jew Anecdote*. It was my good fortune to make at New York the close acquaintance of another, and hardly less renowned soldier of the republic, General Sherman, nor could any conversations have been more interesting than those in which he did me the honor to describe and discuss, among other, matters, that wonderful and memorable march led by him, which pierced the confederate states like the thrust of a rapier, and helped largely to bring about the collapse of "secession." The general was evidently and justly discontented with certain criticisms which have appeared in England, from a high military source, upon the conduct of the campaign. "We had," he said, "to create armies before we could use them in the established and scientific way, and it is unfair and illogical to judge the first two years of our war as if we had been commanding trained and seasoned troops In the third year we had regiments to lead as good and skilled as commanding officers could ask for, and to the movements then made the rules of military scieuce may be properly applied.1' General Sherman spoke of the quality of courage in soldiers and men generally, " distinguishing it impatiently from brutish age,11 he said, "is founded on presence of mind. The man who, in the face of imminent peril, oan hold up his hand and count the fingers on it quite calmly is the brave, selfpossessed, reliable individual. Moreover, true courage goes with unselfishness. I have seen an . officer fight on unflinchingly in my presence, bleeding from many wounds, of which he was disdainfully heedless, and* in later life, have witnessed the gentleman turn deadly white while he held the hand of his child that a surgeon might operate for some trifling abscess.11 Many were the thrilling episodes and adventures of the great war which fell in fascinating recital from the lips of General Sherman, but they are either recorded in the pages of his autobiog* raphy, or are too long and discursive to set down here. One little flash of humor is, poctjaps, wdrth preserving from all the war talk which we enjoy. "General Thomas,1' said he, "junior to me in rank, but senior in service, was a stern disciplinarian. He had received many complaints about the pilfering and plundering committed by one of his brigades, and being resolved to put this offense down, he issued some very strict orders, menacing with death any who should transgress. The brigade in question wore for its badge an acorn, in silver or gold, and the men were inordinately proud of this distinctive sign. "Several cases of disobedience had been reported to the general, but the evidence was never strong enough for decisive action until one day, riding with an orderly down a by-lane outside the posts, Thomas came full upon an Irishman who, having laid aside his rifle, with which he had killed a hog, was busily engaged in skinning the animal with his sword-bayonet, so as to make easy work with the bristles, etc., before cooking Bome pork-chops. 'Ah,' cried the general, 'you rascal! at last 1 have caught one of you in the act. There is no mistake about it this time, and I will make an example out of you, sir!" " 'Bedad! General, honey!1 said the Irishmau, straightening himself up and coming to the salute, 'it's not shootiu1 mo that you ought to be at, but rewardin1 me.1 " 'What do you mean, sir?1 exclaimed General Thomas. .« 'Why, your honor!1 the soldier replied, 'this bad baste here had just been disicratin1 the rigimental badge; and so I was forced to dispatch him. It's 'atin1 the acorns that I found him atP Even General Thomas was obliged to laugh at this, and the soldier saved his life by his wit11 Popular Science. Molds for casting iron can only be made in sand. Iron or other metallic molds chill the iron and it doea not fill well- The great hoat at which iron meltstwill burn any other metal, or will stick so as to break the mold. The supposed oldest pieces of wrought iron in existence are a sickle blade found near the Sphinx, near Thebes; a blade found imbedded in the masonry of the Great Pyramid, and a piece of a cross-cut g;iw exhumed at Nimrod, all of which are now in the British mueeum. The magnetic needle points in the game direction as to the magnetic poles in all parts of the earth. The magnetic poles do not correspond with the of the earth, which makes a variation of the needle at places not on a meridian which coincides with both pole*. The needle is uever inverted, but dipt aa It approaches the magnetic poles. The heart sends nearly ten pounds of blood through the veins and arteries each beat, and makes four beats while we breathe onoe. One hundred and seventy-five million cells are in the lungs, whicb would cover a surface thirty times greater than the human body. The average of the pulse in infancy is 120 per minute; in m mhood eighty; at sixty years, sixty. The pulse of females is more frequent than that of males. Prof. Fresenfus of Wiesbaden, after a long series of chemical unalysea, declares that an. egg contains as much nourishment as a pound and an ounce of cherries, a pound and a quarter of grapes, a pound and a half of russet apples, two pounds of gooseberries and four pounds of pears, and that 114 pounds of grapes 127 pounds of russat apples, 192 pounds of pears and 327 pounds of plums are equal in nourishment to 100 pounds of potatoes. Cement should never be disturbed after commencing to set It should be kept moist and wet until hard. Cold retards, heat quickens settings. Brick or stone should be wee or moist, or cement will not adhere well. Portland cement requires less water than natural or American cements. It sets in from three to twelve hours. It must be kept dry, or it will become lumpy and spoiled. It need never be used pure, but should always be mixed with sand. The president of the British Association, Prof. Flower, endorses Sir John Lubbock's idea that the field of inquiry ia limitless, and that there may be "fifty other senses as different from ours as sound is from sight; and even within the boundaries of our own senses there may be endless Bounds which we cannot hear, and colors as different aa red from green of which we have no conception. These and a thousand other questions remain for solution. The familiar world which surrounds us may be a totally different place to other animals. To them it may be full of music which we cannot hear, of color which we cannot see, of sensation which we cannot conceive." An Aristocratic Canine. "You mean dog collars," said a New York Press reporter to the omniscient society man. "No, sir; I mean a dog ring. You see, fashionable people who love their pets tired of gold and silver and studded collars, so, after much laborious brain searching, they hit upon the Idea of a jeweled ring.'1 '•Isn't the ring liable to slip off the animal's leg when in action?1' "It isn't for the leg. It's for the tail." "Don't you think their jewels will excite the cupidity of dojr-stealers?" "Undoubtedly; but you must remember they will only be worn by animals who are well able to take care of themselves." "Don't you think that it would be an excellent idea if society people provided their dogs with eye-glasses and toothpicksP" "I never gave the subject any thought1' "And with increasing civilization, culture and refinement oughtn't society cats to be provided with bracelets ?" "Really, now, don't ask me such questions. We men look after the dogs. The welfare and adornment of the cats is a matter for the conaideration of the ladies." At first the reporter was inclined to believe that his informant, who sucked most of his knowledge from the head of his wnlkingr-stick, w.is lying with Munchausen-like aplomb. A stroll up Fifth avenue, however, convinced him that he had not been listening to an innocent fiction. Within a quarter of an hour half a dozen ring-tailed bulldogs were encountered. Each of them waddled along with a proper pride, and. each of them was accompanied by one or more of those vapid specimens of incipient manhood known aa dudes. Alaska Resources. The list of Alaska resources grows larger almost every month. Not only is it said to have an abundance of minerals and an inexhaustible supply of coal, but it ia now claimed by a few enrthuslasts that it is a great natural wheat country in some p irts. Still further, a learned crank now comes forward to prove that the heart of Alaska is a magnificent petm-tropical region, being protected from the cold of the north by a lofty chain of mountains and artificially warmed by vast a number of volcanoes and hot ttprincrs. He admits that he has never b-aen in Alaska, but the fact, he says, is really- a point in favor of his theory, for he is not burdened with any prejudices on the subject. * Caacsra, Humors, Bores, Ulcere, Swelling*.

IN, MASS., NOV. 26.—Lynn, tbe city of , was visited this afternoon by tae greatest lire ia ite history, snd with two •exceptions the conflagration is the most disastrous that has ever visited New England. The exceptions are tbe great Boston fire of 1672, which destroyed $100,000,- 000 worth of property, and tbe Portland flre of 1*18, which caused a loss ^H&etween ton mi MOD and 12 million dollars. To-day's lire started at 11 ;56 a. m.» raged over eight hours, devasted a square mile •of the business section «f the city, and caused a loss estimated at about $10,000,- O00. In fact the greater part of ward four is wiped out as regards the important JCboe manufacturing blocks and prominent # places of business. The fire started in Mower's wooden building on Almont street, over the boiler, aud spread with su«h rapidity that the fire department of the city was powerless to cope with It This large wooden building was soon •doomed and the flumes leaped across a narrow passageway and communicated with the sixsto ry brick block known as Mow- •er's block. Almost simultaneously the four-story "woodea shoe factory of Bennett & Barnard •on Central avenue and tbe four-story wooden building on Almont street caught tire, and after a time a hurricane of flame 'was in progress which blanched the cheeks -of all the spectator*. The efforts of firemen and citizens seemed of no avail, although they did heroic work. Aid arrived from Boston, Salem, Marblehead and surrounding towns, but their united efforts Beemed to have little effect on the hurricane of flame. Scenes of the great Boston and Chicago fires were repeated In all their horrors—mothers fleeing with babes in their arms, express wagons loading at business and dwelling houses and transferring goods to a place of safety, in many oases a second removal being necessary. After the fire bad been in progress two hours everybody declared it would not stop until it reach ed the ocean, and this proved to be the case. There were many narrow escapes from accidents, but no fatalities are reported. Tbe high brie* fire-wall on the B. F. Spinney block served as a barrier to the further, progress of the flames up Union street after that handsome structure was gutted. The streets were covered with a network of fallen wires which somewhat impeded the progress of the firemen. The Central station of the Boston & Maine railroad was burned flat, and the flames then leaped across ML Vernor street. Dynam ite and powder were used at frequent intervals to blow up wooden buildings but with little effect. The fire virtually burned itself up, aud at 7:30 was considered under control. Both companies of the Massacbusetts militia located at Lynn were called out and put on putrol duty. A house blown up with powder at Broad and Exchange streets at 8:45 o'clock shattered windows in all directions, and the rubasure was effectual in stopping the progress of the flumes in that direction. A narrow escape from de.ith was that of Ernest Williamson who, in the early stago of the fire, volunteered to take a line'of hose up a ladder in front of the Dugyr building on Willow street. He was followed by several other venturesome men, gome of whom were firemen, but almost as soon as they reached the roof the inteD9e heat compelled them to beat a hasty retreat and the hose fell to the sidewalk. Williamson was the lust man to descend and was nearly suffocated before he could get a footing on tho ladder, owing to its being "dogged." He finally scrambled down it) tin exhausted condition, to the intense relief ot hundreds who expected to see him perish. A few minutes later the upper west wall of tho Mower block fell through the Dugyr building with a terri tic crush. The left side of William's face wa s blistured before he started down . four daily newspapers are burned ou t— tho Item, Bee. Press and NewB. Three National banks, the Central, Security and First N itionul, together with the Lynn Institution for Savings, located in the First National block, are all wiped out. Twelve of the finest shoe blocks in the city wre in ruins, und about twonty-tlve stores. At this writing it is importable to state how many dwellings are burned. They are mostly occupied by the poor class iu the vicinity of Beach street and the wharves. It is impossible to give i.ny estimate of the insurance, but conservative estimates place the loss on property at ten millions. Mrs. Parnell is Indignant. Mrs. Paraell claims that President Fitzgerald, James Kedpath and. others of the league have interfered with tho raising Of a fund for fcor. She siys: When I would appeal to prominent mem bers of the league, 1 would be told thatniy son Chnrlos had sufficient means to help me. This is false. Charles Stewart Parnell has not a dollar of his own in the world. What money he has has been contributed for the cause of Ireland, and he has no right to use it for my support. True, he gave up his private fortune for the cause, and when my boy entered Irish politics I g.ive up my dowry to aid him and Ireland, but what is that if ho wins home rule for tlmt nation." Mrs. pHrnell spoke of the injustice being done her by the land ldague, and said she would curse the day Bhe ever married a Parnell, it that was to be used against her A Meaningless Flaar. An idea of how strongly public feeling if. ruuuing in tho direction of Canadian independence in the maritime provinces of the dominion may be gathered from the following criticism of the Eastern Chronicle, an influential newspaper published in Nova Scotia, on the proposal to hoist the Canadian ting on all public building in Can da. The Chronicle says: ''What good in a Canadian flag! It is not recognize.! by any nation on earth. It has no place among the flags of the nations of the world, and affords no protection to any one. Why, then, should our children fee taught to place confidence in a flag that «an give them no protection when they leave their homes? If Canada is ambitious of h.iving a flag worth a baubee, let her strike out for herself among the nations of the world. Until she has the courage to do so, for goodness sake, let up on the flag business." Arrested for Bank Kobbery.

Nine-tenths of all troubles which require the aid of plasters are rheumatic in their nature. A change of weather or a sudden draught causes a cold wbioh developes into muscular and that into inflammatory rheumatism.

No t man y years ago a promi - nen t Now York merchan t became quite enthusiasti c respectin g the prospects of Liberia, sendin g out sugar mills, encouraging " coffee culture , and aiding in the deportatio n of American uegroes, but tho so-calle d "republic " now exists scarcely in name . In like manne r a steamshi p project which for a time engaged this fostering interest s of several New York geutlemo u philanthrupieall y inclined ' never tooc a tangible form and passed out of mind , j Hut a line of sailing vossels from Now iTork to Liberia has been maintained , ! and American exports,o f manufacture d | cotto n to Africa throug h various chan - nels form a eousiiLir'abl o item.

Furthermore , accordin g to tho author - ity just quoted , "the whole trade of the coast is in the hand s of some 10,- 000 British subjects from India , includin g tho ivory ' trud' \ copra , gum opal, india rubber, hide and grain trades. Those British Indian s have lent largo sums of mone y to the Arab ivory caravans. They have also invested their profits in mortgages on the houses and plantation s of th o Arabs, fooling quite secure unde r the shadow of English justice. Tho British Indian s havo £500,000 of floating capital employed at this time in the ivory trade in the far interior, and unless some decisive measures are undertaken by the English gmvnnuonl. this large sura must | inevitably be lost." England appears to have boeomo inextricably involved by joining in an agreement with (ierj many to man tain a blockade "to put down the slave trade," a feat somewhat difficult of accomplishment where • every African and Arab trailer is a i slaveholder oil her in will or deed. i Clearly enough, ii would now appja-r- \ tho "development of Africa," whatever this may mean, lias received a check from which there will be tardy recovery.

Alexander McKenzie of Grand Rapids, a Scotchman b.y birth, a painter by trade and recently arawed from Chicago, shot his wife tbe othej"Tnorniai?. The bullet from the revolver entered the right temple and will probably prove fatal. Domestic infelicity in at the bottom of the trouble. Mrs. McKenzie had recently applied for a divorce. The couple had two children, a boy of eight and a girl of 11. McKenzie has been arrested. MoKenjie gives his age as S3 and that of that of bis wife us 2S. When searched there were found in his pockets a box of 82 calibre cartridge*, a Few pieces of soap rolled up in p* per, some horse chestnuts and a few matches. The revolver he had previously given up. He will neither denv nor affirm that there is another man in the case, but says time will show. He seems quite cool, but •ays he now bitterly repents what he has done. Mrs. McKenzie had left her husband on account of his drinking, it is alleged, and had goue with her children to live with his mother, Mrs. Catherine Wood, at Traverse City.' McKenzie went to Chicago. A few days ago she came to visit her relative, Mrs. Freeman, iu whose house the shooting occurred. McKenzie learned of it and followed her, not knowing that a divorce had been actually applied for. On Saturday evening he went to the house and asked her to live with him again, but she refused, and he swore he would shoot her. He again asked her to live with her, she again refused, and drawing the revolver from his pocket he fired. WH1TEFISH CATCH IMPROVED. The Fisk Law Regarded as a Wise and Just Oue. The catching of fish is one of the leading industries of Michigan, its extensive coast lines furnishing the best fresh water fishiag'groundB in the world. Fora number of years fishing on the Michigan shores was remarkably poor, and was continually growing worse, and would undoubtedly have kept on in that bud way had not the state passed a law regulating the size of net mesh to be used. J. X. Dewey of Monroe, a well-posted fish dealer, said reeeutiy that before that law went into effect there were c ught•. nnua.ly on the e .st shore of Luke Michigan alone no less than ;i,uuu.UUU,, young whiterisb, weighing from one-third to one-half u pound euch. These were all thrown uway, bu. if they bad been allowed to mature and reach their proper weight they would have exceeded in pounds the entire catch of marketable fish lor any one year. 1 his is the tirst year that the protective law has had a chance to be of any appreciable effect, as it has allowed the ^youug fish nn uniterrupted growth of three years, and the result is manifest in tbe increased catch of whitefish this fall. For a number of years there were practically no Ash in Grand Traverse bay; but this year the fishermen are getting boatloads of them .and the same is true of the entire lake -coast, from Traverse bay to the straits of Mackinac and thence down to the entrance to Green Huy.

TERfUBLE CONFLAGRATION. Boston Suffer* a Lot* by Fire of From 96,000,000 to •10,000,000 Over Two Acre* or Territory B u r n e d BO»TOX, Nov. 28.- The most disastrous fire from which Boston baa suffered since 1"5<2, and one which in property loss more than rivals the great conflagration at Lynn on Tuesday, broke out at about 8:20 a, m. to-day in the six story granite building owned oy Jordan, Marsh it Co., and occupied by Brown, Durrell & Co., dealers in dry goods, of Beirord street, corner of Kingston. The great tire of 18?2 broke out at the corner of Kingston and Summer streets, and the alarm of to day's tire was rung in from the same box which did similar duty at 7:15 p. m. on the evening of November U, 18TJ, when tbe nre fiend broke loose, and before being subdued consumed nearly 1100,000,000 of property. The first alarm rung in to-day was immediately followed by the first general alarm in Boston since 1872, Today's contiiigration raged for aiz hours, burned over two acres of territory covered by magnificent structures, and entailed a loas now estimated at »10,000,000. The fire was discovered by a letter carrier, who noticed tianies bursting from the top of the Browu building over the elevator shalt. iu which it evidently originated. This letter carrier notified the .nearest ]K>lice oitioer, who sounded the first alarm. As soon as Chief Webber of the protective department arrived it became apparent that A LONG, HARD FIttHT With the fiery element was before the department, and a general alarm was sent out and this was soon followed by a call upon all neigh boring cities and towns for assistance. The flames were soon pouring from all the windows and the roof of the Brown- Durrell building. At 8:45 they had spread to the Shoe & Leather Exchange building, unother large granite building adjoining Brown, Durrell & Co., on Bedford street. From both buildings the flames swept in great masses across Bedford street to the opposite corner, thence across Kingston street, along Bedford to Chaunce.v street, where it was stopped in the store of Farley, Harvey & Co., the upper stories of woich were burned. Three stores along Chauncey street toward Summer were burned. On tbe south side of Bedford street the hames jumped across Kingston street from the hot blaze from Brown, Durrell & Co., to a big sandstone build lug owned by F. L. Ames, and occupied by Taylor Bros., and this was consumed. The great granite building known as Nevins' block, at the corner of Chaunoey street, was the next victim for the flames, and the entire block, clear around Itowe Place to Kingston street, was consumed. Crossing Chauncey street, the fire soon had a good head on all the streets which are inc.osed in Exeter Place, a small street running from Harrison avenue to Chauncey street. Here the firemen got control. At Rowe Plaoe the flre was partiahy checked from going toward Essex street, but quickly moved the opposite side to the immense Alleh & Larrabee buildings occupying the square between Bedford street and Harrison avenue extension and Exeter Place, at which point its further process was checked There are about 'JOO firms bujned out and 100 agents of New York and western flrmB have had their headquarters4 destroyed. The seventy-nine iusurance companies known to be interated carry an aggregate insurance of |2,ttOO,000 on burued property. UKOOKAPIIY OF THK HirKNBI) DISTRICT. The burned district begins at Columbia street on the e 1st and extends two blocks westward, along Bedford street to Chauncey street on the west: on the south side of Bed lord street the fire consumed the entire block bounded by Bedford, Kingston Essex and Columbia utree 9, westward of this the entire block bounded by Bedford. Kingston, Chaunco.v streets and Kowe l'lace, and westward of this the building on L'hiiUncey street from Bedford to Exeter Place. It iilso badly damaged the building on the southeast corner of Bedford andCo.umbia streets. North of Bedford street it consumed the buildings on both the northeast ,nv\ northwest corners of Bedford and Kingstou si reels, ;aid dam ak'cd the block at the corner of Bedfordand Chauncey.

After having been a member of tho Ohio senate in ISM and 1S.>5 he was elected to congress as a democrat, and served in the 3.r>th, tttith, ;i7th aDd Jlsth congresses.

The twilight had deepened rapidly during the last half hour, and it was now as nearly dark as it ever would be on that midsummer night. Tessa entered the hall, paused a moment by the dining-room door, and listened till she distinguished Austen's deep tones among the voices of the other men. Then she entered the drawing-oom. No one noticed her. Mrs. Callender had forgotten her grief for a time, and was discoursing on the misdeeds of the county member, who had absolutely so far forgotten himself as to vote against the Sunday closing bill. IJoonohad moved during the time Tessa had been absent from the room, or seemed likely to move; and Tessa, after a few minutes, slipped out unobserved. Now, if ever, was the time, she thought. Trembling at her own boldness, she went back into the garden and motioned to Antony, who had ventured up the laurel-walk and was btarfding half hidden behind some thick bushes, to approach. She led him through the side-entrance, across thj0Tb.aH, up the stair-case to the door of his mother's room. Oh, how the boards creaked—how the balustrades groaned! Tessa was in an agony of fear lest some one should hear the strange noises and come to ascertain the cause. With a heart beating fast with anxiety she stood outside the door and waited while Antony said his last farewell. Perhaps ten minutes passed while she waited, though it seemed more like an hour to her; then the door opened, and Antony came out. His head bent, and Tessa noticed that he groped his way along the passage like a man suddenly stricken with blindness. She noticed too that he held tightly in his fingers a half-opened rosebud which that morning she had brought, fresh and dewy from the garden, and placed between the fingers of the dead woman. "I may keep it?11 he said; and Tessa bent her head silently. As noiselessly as before they crossed the hall, passed the drawing and dining-room doors, and reached the outer door. Tessa breathed more freely as at last they stood outside in the laurel-walk. She would have flown back to the house at once; but Antony detained her to ask a few more questians about his mother's illness, ami Tessa—impatient as she felt—was too sorry for him to refuse to listen. "You have been very, very good to me, Miss Cardino!'1 he said at last. •'How can I show my gratitude, I wonderP If you were really my little sisteV'—and his voice grew deeper,his manner more impressive with each word—"I should take you in my arms and bless and thank you for all your kindness to me and her. As it is"— and he lifted Tessa's clasped hands to his Lips and kissed them with a chivalrous tenderness that reminded Tessa of Cleveland—"I can but thank you thuay-bid Heaven bless you and make you>»ery happy in the life that lies belore you. Tessa gave a low sob. Sadly she her hands away from the detainclasp. Jood-bye," she said gently; and tony turned away. He ran down the path, and, pausing at tbe gate, waved his hat in a last farewell. Tessa kissed her hand in return. "Oh, good-bye, good-bye!" sheBaid. The tears^were standing in her eyes; but a tender little smile hovered round her lips as she turned to re-enter the house—turned and saw Austen standing on the step behind her with such a terrible look of concentrated anger and loathing on his face that her htftrt s ood Htill with terror. She £|lt,fthe blood rush to her face, ebb bMfctto heart as quickly; but. with a g p p t effort, she forced a pitiful smile to her lips. ••Were you looking for me, AuatenP" she said, putting her fingers lightly on his arm. "I thought you were in the dining-room with the othersP" "I have no doubt you thought I was saf*ly out of the way somewhere!11 Aqtttft returned with a sneer. Hit btftd closed over the little fingtfi# itfc a cruel clasp. Silently he l<t lw* across the hall into a small wfcich was Bet apart for hia 9*6* *nd •&"* and locked the door behind him. At any other time these solemn proceedings and his stern manner would have moved Tessa to laughter and defiance, but she was too frightened and nervous now to feel amused. She was quite ignorant how much Austen had seen or heard of the parting interview with Antony —whether or not he had recognized his brother—and she determined that she would wait to be accused before she defended herself. She folded her hands patiently and stood quietly by the table waiting for him to apeak. There was a long silence. Tessa would not, and Austen could not, speak. Tessa's eyes wandered restlessly round the room, noticed with a curious interest a cobweb in one cor1- ner which the careless housemaid had overlooked—an ink-stain on the carpet. "I am waiting, Tessa." Austen spoke at last. Every trace of softness had died out of his voice; cold and chilling as an icy blast the words fell upon Tessa's ears. She shivered a little, looked up piteously into the face which had suddenly grown so cold and stern. "Waiting? For what, Austen?'1 she faltered. "For the explanation which even you—hardened, abandoned, lost to all sense of shame as you must be—will acknowledge I have a right to demand, 11 Austen returned coldly. Tessa's fingers twined and untwined nervously. Oh, if only he could go on, if he would but tell her how much he knew, the girl thought passionately, it would make her task so much easier! "Explanation of what—I don't understand, 11 she stammered. "You must be remarkably dense!11 —and Austen sneered again. "Well. I will tell you then, as you ask. 1 missed you from the drawing-room, went in search of you and found you— oh, you know well enough, there is no need to assume that look of virtuous indignation—with your hand clasped in your lover's—witnessed your farewell! 11 •lMy loverP" Tessa started and looked up with a sad little smile. "I thought you were that, Austen,11 Tessa went on softly. "I was; but I resign the privilege; I have no wish to share it in common with other men,11 Austen said haughtily—" either with Cleveland nor any one else.'1 "Cleveland?11 Austen could almost have fancied that Tessa looked relieved. "Yes, you need not deny it—it was Cleveland; I am sure of that.11 he returned coldly. "It would have been bad enough if it had been any one else but Cleveland—a married man! Oh, it is shamful, horrible! You must indeed be lost to all sense of decency when you can steal out of the house, where the woman who was so good to you—the woman you professed to love so well—lies dead and cold in h.er coffin, to hold clandestine meetings with a lover who ib too a married man!'1 Tensa's heart sank at the cold voice. Anything, any anger, however great, would been better to bear, easier to overcome, than his calm, passionless contempt. "Surely, if he knew all he could not be more angry!'1 she thought, and she put out her .hand and touched his sleeve gently. "Austen, will you please listen a momet?" .she began; but Austen moved he hand away quietly, but with a little loathing gesture from which Tessa cowered as from a blow. • 'Why shoulfl I listen? To be fooled again?" he said, in his cold, bitter voice. "It is not the firs* time 1 have seen you together. Scarcely a fortnight ago you were- with him in the laurel walk at an hour when no decent girl would be out of her home even with her promised husband. I saw you with him! Oh, I remember it well enough, and how a few minutes afterwards the lips which had just betrayed me smiled at me and kissed me with Judas'B kisses!11 A strange feeling of unreality and numbness was stealing over Tessa. Oh, well might Austen's enemies call him hard and unforgiving, she thought. Was it possible that those stern cold eyes were the eyes whi^h had so often looked into hers full of intense passionate love—that those condemning lips had ever whispered protestations of endless undying love? She felt powerless to struggle against such overwhelming evidence—against such a stern jiidye. She looked helplessly round the room, noticed with a lingering tenderness each familiar ob.oct. It was a very shabby little room; but Tessa had spent many a happy hour there, and every picture, nay, every chair and table, seemed to bring back with tantalizing distinctness those happy memories. Austen's latho stood in one corner, his fretwork machine by the window. Only a month ago Tessa had received a sharp reprimand for meddling with and breaking some of his favorite saws. She remembered her saucy retort—tho lover,'a quarrel— the pretty little scene of reconciliation which followed. Was it only a month ago? It seemed like a year! she thought. She managed to apeak at last. "Austen, you will please listen to me for a moment!" she pleaded. "I know what you saw to-night and before must hare seemed very strange to you; but If you will listen —if you will let me explain." "Explain? Conduct such as yours is incapable of explanation—satisfactory explanation, at all events,1' Austen answered coldly, "No, 1 will not listen. I believe the evidence of my senses sooner than any lying tale you choose to furnish up. Once before I waited;11 and his voice grow colder and sterner each moment. "I hoped you would explain Cleveland's presence here and at that hour, and you were silent. I am rightly served; I admit I have been warned often enough what you were; but I trusted you, and I would not believe. But that is all over now—I have done with you! You may stay here if you will—there will always be a home here for you, for my mother's sake: or probably11— and his lip curved into an ugly sneer —"since you prefer Cleveland to me, you had better go to him—to your new lover." Tessa gave a little cry of pain and bewilderment as the taunting words fell upon her ears. She clasped her hands suddenly over her heart. Surely this must be as dying people felt! she thought vaguely—just this same swift agony—then the cold insensibility that followed. She felts rangely quiet and self-possessed all at once. There was even a steady smile on her pale face as she looked at Austen. "Yes, perhaps that would be best. As you say, I had better go to my new lover," she said slowly. And then she turned and walked eteadily across the room to the door. She looked back once as she turned the key. "By-and-by you will remember, Austen, that you would not listen,"she said, in a sweet unfaltering voice; then the door opened, closed gently, and Austen was le.t alone. To the surprise of all present, Noel Cleveland, who was nut supposed to be on the Continent, joined the funeral procession the next day. Ho had been in France for a week or two, BO he told some curious inquirers; but business had recalled him to London, and while there he had heard of Mrs. Bevan's death and decided to remain in England a day or two longer and attend the funeral. He was a little disappointed, knowing that it was the custom among the Society of Friends for the ladies of the family to be present at the ceremony, not to see Tessa. He inquired after her, and was told by Mrs. Callender that she was not at all well, and had preferred to remain at home. "You will give my kind regards to her, please?" he said. Austen stared in bewildered wrath at his quiet audacity. It was scarcely the time or place to make a scene, , nor was Austen a likely man to show his feelings; but Cleveland's presence seemed only a studied insult, and it was with difficulty he refrained from requesting him to leave the procession. And, when the ceremony was i ver and Cleveland with one or two others app.oaehed and oifered his hand with a few murmured words of sympathy, Austen pushed it aside with an odd passionate gesture. "Your presence here is an insult to me and mine!"1 he said, in a clear low voice full of intense contempt and wrath. Two or three people standing near noticed and commented on the odd little episode and Noel's startled face. He drew back with a stifled, exclamation, then shrugged his shoulders with careless contempt. Austen had always been a queer crotchety fellow; he grew queerer every day, Noel thought. It did not matter, of course—only he was sorry —unfeignedly sorry for that poor little girl! The "poor little girl11 meanwhile wa» sitting in her"chamber meditating a desperate resolution. The numb deadness of despair which at first had almost overwhelmed her had now given place to a passionate indignation and she would not stay a day, not an hour longer than she could help. She had her own little income—the sixty pounds a year of which Mrs. Callender had once spoken so slightingly; fortunately she had not spent any of the last half year's installment, and there was quite thirty pounds in her desk. This would be sufficient for some little time, at all events, until she would go back to Charente—Madame Fre^us would be dolighted to have her back again, and she had always been happy there: but just now for a short time she would ask Antony to take her in-.- TO BE CONTINUED. He Wanted the Usual Discount. A train in Arizona was boarded by robbers, who went through the luckless pas-engers. One of them happened lo be a Hebrew "drummer" from Now York, who, when hia turn came, with reluctance fished out $200, but rapidly took #4 from the pile and placed it in his vest pocket. "What do you mean by that?" asked the robber, as he toyed with his revolver. Hurriedly camo the answer: "Mine frent, you surely vould not refuse me two per zent discount on a strictly cash transaction like dis?" THREE WARNINGS. Startling Results Attending the Free Us» of Brandy, Whisky and Whalebone. A man who travels a good deal and who has recently returned from London, came into a popular New York resort yesterday, tossed off a drink of whiBky made on the block of 1867, and said as he smacked his lips: "Ah, that1* tbe stuff? I haven't bad any of it since I left Chicago. I don't mean to say that all Chicago whisky is good, for I know it isn't. When I went away from here an alleged kind friend g >ve me a flask of the stuff to accompany me on my journey. He said it was great, but I found that it was regular peevish liquor. After I had taken two drinks of it I felt as though I wanted to lick the train conductor, but I had head enough on me to pause right there. I gave the flask to the sleeping-car porter, and about an hour later he waa lying on the sofa in the smoking compartment, singing negro songs and howling at the top of his voice. Not a single pair of shoes in that car was blacked that night Finally the sleeping-car conductor took the flask from the porter, and it was not very long before he wanted to lick the train conductor. If that flask had ever reached the engineer we would surely have gone off the track. Was it the whisky? Well, you can judge whether it was or not when I tell you that it affected the porter so that the next morning he gave the passengers in his car a quarter each as they came out" "I was presented with a similar gift once," said a young theatric.il manager who had been listening to the conversation. "I was about to start on the road with a company and a reputed friend of mine handed me a bottle of what he said was 1814 brandy and prime stuff. Weil, I tucked it away in my grip, and never thought of it until tbe next morning. Then I felt like a drink and went after it I found to my dismay that the bottle had been broken and the rich contents had thoroughly saturated my belongings in the satchel In the outfit was a pair of fine alligator skin slippers, and when I took them out on reaching my tirst town I found that the choice liquor had shrunk that tough alligator.skin down so close to the soles that a- man could not insert a toothpick in the slippers let a lone his foot Then I wondered what effect that brandy would have on the lining1 of a man's stomnche if it could shrink alligator skin in th.it way. I was glad I did not drink it under the circumstances." "That reminds me of the London liquor," said the much traveled young man,"and," he continued, "the Ix>ndon liquor reminds me of the way they kill polar bears in the Arctic regions. An exploring friend of mine told me about it They kill bears, for fooJ, and iti the killing they take no chances. How do they do it? Well, it's like this: They procure a stiff and sharp piece of whalebone and win.l it tightly in a rolL Then they thrust this inside of a. big chunk of whale's blubber. This mass is exposed until it is frozen. Then it is laid out upon the ice as a sort of bait Tho first polar bear that comes along bolts the mass at a single gulp. Then, of course, the heat of the bear's stomach thaws out the frozen blubber and thft sharp whalebone expands. In straightening out it penetrates the sides of the bear and kills him. He is found dead on the ice and is skinned and cut up. Now London whisky is like that It goes down smoothly, but it subsequently expands and kills a man."—Tribune. Lucky Ineeley. Columbia (Tenn.)

A simple glance over tbe list of American authors is iu itself a convincing evidence that literature is not so profitable as our literary p iragra^hers would have us believe. The Home Journal says few of our molorn authors find themselves able to depend entirely upon the revenues of their worn. I will not say that they could not do so; I merely state the fact that they do not Mr. Cable, for example, devotes considerable time to lecturing. Mark Twain is now more of a publisher than an xuthoi*. Joel Cuandler Harris is an editor as is Richard Henry Stoddard. Dr. Holmes found hia medical practice immensely valuable to him for years beforo he reached an j eminence in literature- accorded to but I few. Marion Marland and Margaret E.

Stanley's friend and companion in Africa and who has only lately returned, is an Englishman only twenty-six years of age. He had a natural fondness for adventure, and, as his parents refused their consent he ran away to tea, landing in Australia where he joined a strolling circus as a horizontal bar prodigy. He did not remain long in this position, but started alone and afoot for the unknown interior of Australia with the purpose of getting as far away from all civilization as possible. He soon found himself ragged, barefooted, and with starvation staring him in the face, and no help within reach; a party of prospectors, however, saved him just in time. Afterwards he traveled in India and Borneo. In the latter country his oompanions died, and it took Ward six months to fight bis way back to the coast He then met Stanley in London, who secured him an appointment in the Congo state. His experiences in Africa have been of a most Taried kind. It lu now five years since he went out; he served his period of three years, and was returning home when he met the Etnin P&gcha relief expedition with Stanley at the head. He offered his services, and has been with Stanley until his return to £ngland a short time ago. The supreme court of New York gives new force to the "unwritten law" that a criminal cannot profit by the fruits of his own crime, A young rascal, fearing that his grandfather would change a will made in his fa- Tor, deliberately poisoned him, and eacaped just punishment for the crime toy going to the reformatory for three years. At the expiration of his sentence he attempted to gain possession of the property, and was sustained by the lower court. The court of appeals, however, viewed the case from the etandpoint of morals of equity and declined to put a premium on murder. The point raised by the court is not covered by common law, yet the justice of the decision is indisputable, and establishes an important precedent for contingencies of the kind. f J The Parnell commission, just adjourned, dragged it§ weary length through a period of one hundred and twenty-eight days, and closed without treating the slightest ripple in pub- Mo sentiment. The even position of the court forbids the hope that its •occlusionB will be based on the evidence and justice of the Irish cause. The court was organized to determine #ie truth or falsity of the London Timee' charges against Parnell, and wfaen they collapsed in an avalanche of forgery and fraud the verdict of the world pronounced Parnell not guilty. The shot the traitor Piggot fired into hie own brain sealed the verdict, and destroyed the usefulness of the court of inquiry from that moment. In the past quarter of a eentury cotton has declined from first to fourth place among the products of ihe United States. The value of this year's crop is estimated at three hundred and sixty million dollars. Those figures are exceeded by the corn and wheat and hay crops. Hut while cotton has fallen from its high estate at home, it has no rival as an article of loreign commerce. The yield this year shows a large increase, but the demand has also increased.

The Salient Point* o f • Very Lengthy D o c u m e n t . ' WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—President Harrison's message opens with the statement that good-will and cordiality have characterized our relations sod correspondence with other governments, and the year Just closed leaves few internal Questions of importance remaining uuadjusted, and no obstacle exists to long iwmpone the adjustment of pending questions. He refers favorably to the me«tiug of the pan-American congress, and the international marine conference; advises that ail the South American and the Hawaiian and H&ytian missions be raised to tirst-claas; wants the Chinese already in this country kindly treated; recommends that provision be made by an international agreement for visibly marking the water boundary between the United States and Canada in the narrow channels that join the great lakes; advises enlargement of the list of offenses for which extradition may be claimed and grunted between this country and Great Britain, by a new treaty to be laid before the senate; says all difficulties that prevented the beginning of the Nicaraguacaual have been adjusted; suys that Persia is treating the missionaries kindly and Inviting American capital; troubles with naturalized citizens abroad, especially in France, Italy, Russia and Turkey need adjusting; and declares that the new republic of Brazil will be recognized as soon as the people of that country have assented to its establishment. TUB 81 Within our own borders a general condition of prosperity prevails. The report of the secretary oi the treasury shows that The receipts lor the year were $387.050,058.- W; derived from customs, $2i3,b3i,741.ti9; from internal revenue, 1^30,5*1,513.V2; from miscellaneous sources, *iii,335,$98.23. The ordinary expenditures, for the same period were $281,yyo,i>l.">.60, aod the total expenditures, including the sinking fund, were $aiS,5Ty,V--KJ.2o. The excess was $57,410,- 129.59. For the total iiscal year the total revenue, actual and estimated, are fc»»o, 000,000, i.na the ordinary expenditures, actual and estimated, is fr.293,000,1)00, making with the Binking fund, a total expenditure of ffel,- 3-1,lit*.yy, leaving an estimated surplus of |43,b78,&<8.01. The existence of so large a surplus should have ihe immediate attention of congress, with a view to reducing the receipts of the treasury to the needs of the government. The collection of moneys not nseded for public uses imposes an unnecessary burden upon the people, and the presence of so large a surplus in the public vaults is a disturbing element in the conduct of private business. DAXGBROUS LOANS. The loaning of public funds to the banks without interest, upon the security of government bonds, I regard as an unauthorized and dangerous expedient. It is not to be expected that the banks having these deposits will sell their bauds to the treasury so long as the present highly beneficial arrangement is continued. They now practically get interest both upon the bonds and their proceeds. The deposits now outstanding should be gradually withdrawn and applied U> the purchase of bonds. TAHIFF KBVISIOV. I recommeud a revision of our tariff law, both to its administrative features and in the schedules. Uniformity of valuation at all our ports is essential. aDd elective measures should be taKen to secure it. Some disturbances of business m.iy result from the consideration of this. Temporary ill-effert will be reduced to the minimum by prompt action, snd by the assurance which the country already enjoys that uny necessary changed will be eo made ;is not to impair the just and reasonable production of our home industries. The inequalities of the law should be adjusted, but rhe protective principles should be maintained andjtairly applied to the products of our farms us well a9 our shops. The free list can very Bafoly be extended by placing thereon articles that do not offer injurious competition to such domestic products as our tVorue labor can supply. The removal of the internal tax upon tobacco would relieve an important ii^ricultural product from a burden which was imposed 0nly_Jiecttiise our revenue from customs duties was insufficient for the public needn. If safe provis.on against fraud can be devised, the removal of the tax upon spirits used in the arts and manufactures would also offer an unobjectiouabl © method of reducing the surplus. SILVER COINAGE. The law requiring the purchase of f2,- 000,000 worth of silver bullion each month, to be coined into silver dollars of 412>£ grains, has been observed by the department; but neither the present secretary nor any of his predecessors has deemed it safe to exercise the discretion given by law to increase the monthly purchases to $4,000,000. Wheu the law was enacted (February 28, ls?b) the price of silver in the market was $1.20 4 10 per ounce, making the bullion value of the dollar ^3 cents. Since that time the price lias fallen as low as 91.02 cents jier ounce, reducing the bullion vah*« of the dollar to 70.He. Within the last i'ew months the market price has somewhiit advanced, and on the flrstday of November last the bullion value of a Bilverdollarw. is 72 cents. The evil anticipations which have accompanied the coinage and use of the silver dollar have not been realized. As H < oin it has not had general use, and the publiv treasury has been compelled to store it. Hut this is manifestly owing to the fact that its paper representative is more convenient. The genernl acceptance and use of the silver certificate shows that silver has not been otherwise discredited. The coinage ot silver at the present ratio free would be disastrous to all business interests. Atalaterd;iy I may communicate further with oougrtss upon tins subject. 1 /JB I H l ^ L TOf.1 CHINAMAN. The enforcement of the Chinese exclusion act haa been found to bo very difficult on the northwestern frontier. Chinamen, landing at Victoria, And it easy to pass oar border, owing to the impossibility, with the force nt Ihe command of the. customs officers, of guarding so long an inland lino. The secretary of the treasury has authorized the employment of additional officers who will be assigned to this duty, anil every effort will bo made to enforce the law. THK COAST Judged by modern standards, we nro practically without coivst defenses. I very urgently, recommoDd an appropriation at this senmon for the construction of such works in our most exposed harbors, 1 approve the suggestion of the secretary of wur that provision be made for encamping companion ef the national gutrd in our jcoast works for a specified time each year, And. for their training in the use of heavy funs. RIVKRfl AKD HARBOR*. The improremeat oi oar important river* and harbors should be promoted by the necessary appropriations. Care should uw taken that tfce government is not committed to the prosecution of works not of public and general advantage, and that the relative usefulness of works of that claas is not overlooked. I do not doubt that the end would be sooner and more economically reached If fewer separate works were undertaken at the same time, and those selected for their greater general interevt were more rapidly pushed to completion. PROTECTION Or FEDERAL OK/KKBS. The assault made by David S. Terry upon the person of Justice Field of the supreme court at LaUhrop in June last, and the killing of the assailant by a deputy United States marshal, suggest questions which, in my judgment, are worthy the attention of congress. I recommend that more definite provision be made by law not only for the protection of federal officers, but for a full trial of such oases in the United States courts. WITNESSES. Events, which have been brought to my attention, happening in other parts of the country, have HISO suggested the propriety of extending, by legislation, fuller protection to those who muy be called as witnesses in the courts of the United States. The investigation of criminal offenses are often rendered futile, and the punishment of crime impossible, by the intimidation of witnesses. The necessity of providing some moro speedy method of disposing of the cases which now come for tin at adjudication to the supreme court becomes every year more apparent uud urgeat The plan of providing some intermediate courts, haying final appellate jurisdiction of certain classes of questions and cases has, I think, received a more general approval from the bench and bar of the country than any other. I recommend that provision be made for the establishment of such courts. 8ALAHIES. The salaries of the judges of the district court* in many of the districts are, in my judgment, inadequate, I recommend that ail such salaries now below $."\000 per annum be increased to that amount. THK TKCST8. Earnest attention should be given by congress to a consfderatiou of the question how far the restraint of those combinations of capital commonly called "trusts'" is matter of federal jurisdiction. They are dangerous conspiracies against the public good, and should bo made the subject of prohibitory and even penal legislation. INTERNATIONAL. COPYKIGIIT. The subject of an interuational copyright has been frequently commended to attention of congress by my predecessors. The en actmeut of such a law would be eminently wise and just. NATURALIZATION. Our naturalization laws should be so revised as to make the inquiry into the moral character and good disposition towards our government of the persons applying for citizenship more thorough. This can only be done by taking fuller control of the examination, by fixing the times for hearing such applications, and by requiring the presence of some one who shall represent the government in the inquiry. Those who are avowed enemies of social order, or who come to our shores to swell the Injurious influence and to expend the evil practices of any assoeiatiou that denes our laws, should not only be denied citizenship, but domki.e. BANKHUHTCY. The enactment of a national bankrupt law, of a character to be a permanent part of our general legislation, is desirable. It should be simple in its method and inexpensive iu its administration. CIVIL SKRVICK. The reform of the civil service will make no safe or satisfactory advance Until the present law ami its equal administration are well established in the confidence of the people, it will be my pleasure, as it is my duty, to Bee that the law is executed with firmness and Impartiality. As a result of the revision oi the rules, of the new classification aud of the inclusion of the railway muil service, the work of the comtmsaiou h.,s been greatly increased and the present clerical force is found inadequate. ; i recommend that the additional clerks asked by the commission be appropriated tor. The duty of appointment is devolved by the constitution or by thv; luw, uud the appointing oltuxjrs are properly held te a high responsibility in us exercise. The growth of tue country and the consequent increase of the ciril hat have BQuguiMed this function of the executive disproportionately. It cannot be denied, however, that the labor couuecltsd with this necessary work is increased, of i en to the point of distress, by the sudden aud excessive demands that are cu.de upon un incoming administration for removals und appovulmonta. But, on tho other hand, it is not true that incumbency IB a conclusive argument for a continuance iu office. Impartiality, moaerution, fidelity to public duty, and a good attainment in the discharge of it muni be added before the argument is complete. When those holding administrative offices so conduct themselves as to convince jUst political opponents that no party consideration or bias effects in auy wu.y the discharge of their public duties, we can more easily stay the domund lor removals. I have suggested to tho heads of the executive departments tbet they couftider whether a record might not be kept in each bureau of all these elements that are covered by thetormB "faithfulness" and "etticiency," and a rating mada showing the relative merits of the clerks of each class, this rating to be regarded as a test of merit in making promotions. I have also suggested to the postmaster general that he adopt some plan by which be can, upon iho basis of the reports to the uepanment and of frequent inspections, indicate the rel tive merit of postmasters of each clsbs. They will be appropriately indicated in the o№cial register and in the report of the department. That a groat stimulous would thus bo given to the. whole service, I do not doubt, and such a record would bo the beat defense against inconsiderate removals from oftice, KDUOATIONAU National aid to education has heretofore taken ihoformof land grants, and iu that form tin: constitutional power of congress to promolo tho education of the people is not seriously questioned. I do not think tt can be successfully questioned when the form is changed to that of a direct grant of money from the public treasury. As tho suggestion of a national grant in aid of education grows chiefly out ol tho condition and needs of the emancipated siave und his descendants, tho ro.ief should, us fur as possible, whilo necessarily proceeding upmi some general lines, be applied to the need that suggested it. I recoup mood that any appropriation made for this purposo bo so liRiitcd ia annuil amount and as to the time over which it is to extend as will, ntt the one band give the local school authorities opportunity to make the best use of the tirst year's allowance, and oil tho other deliver them from the temptation to duly postpone the assumption of the whole burden themselves. THS MB.iKO QUESTION . In many parts of our country where the colored population is large the people of that race are, by various devices, deprived of any effective exercise of their political rights. The wrong does not expend itself upon those whose votes are suppressed. Every constituency in the union is wronged. If it 1% said that these communities must work out this problem for themselves, we have a right to ask whether the/ are at work upon It. The power to take the whole direction aod control of the election of members of the house of representatives is clearly given to the general government. A partial and quttHned supervision of these elections is now provided for by the law, and in m.v opinion this law may be so strengthened and extended as to secure, on the whole, better results, than can be attained by a law taking all the processes of such election into federal con troL MERCHANT MARINE. There is nothing more justly nuxmliatinR to the national pride, and nothing more hurtful to the national prosperity than the Inferiority of our merchant marine, compared with that of other nations whose general resources, wealth and sea coast lines do not suggest any reason for their supremacy on the sea. I recommend that such appropriations be made for ocean muil service in American steamships between our ports and those of Central and South America, China, Japan and the important islands in both of the great oceans, as will be liberally remunerative for the service rendered, and as will encourage the establishment and in some fair degree equalize the chances of American steamship lines in the competition which they must meet, That the American states lying south of us will co/dially co operate in establishing and maintaining such lines of steamships to their principal ports 1 do not doubt. The legislation which I have suggested it is sincerely belived will promote the peace and honor of our country, and the prosperity and security of our people. I invdfto tbejliligent and serious attention of congress to the consideration of these and such other measures as may be presented having the same great end in view.

I Bhnll never forget the time when I f M a band in a emu 11 fishing vessel thai tended the l^ndon market, says a writer in the Boston Globe. The weather was very warm and flan scarce; some of the old hands thought some Icind of a destructive thin was playing havoc for set our trawls where he would they were skinned as clean as though the job was done by hand. One evening two men that went in •dory No. 3 brought the news" that sharks were plenty and we had better chip to Home other berth. The anchor was catheaded, sails hoisted and a, course laid out that would bring us to Jeffries bank, which lies about thirty or forty miles of! Portland. The next morning at duyli<jht we were in our dories and proceeded to set our fishing gear. My partner and I took the oat- Bide on the western end and all went well; we were hauling in fish tor half an hour with every promise of a good catch. I was hauling the trawl at the time, and telt a sudden tug and yank that very nearly took mo out of the dory. I knew it was sharks in a minute, and stopped hauling to see if they wouid show up. Suddenly there was a twitch und a pull hai-der than ever, and I hauled away as lively as possible, knowing he would bite the line if he could to clear himself. I pulled and he tugged, but I kept the line coming all the time. First, he would tow us in one direction and then in another, so I surmised we had him by the tail, and told my partner to have a sharp knife ready to cut away. After a long ;md hard pull I got him to the top of the water and found that he had taken two good hitches around his tail and was working hard to get clear. The next thing to do was to get his tail on the rail of the dory and cut clear. A strong pull by both of.us placed him at our mercy, then I looked overboard to see Jthe kind of chap we had, and if anything would make a fisherman feel blue it vvosuld be a look from that angry man outing shark that we were fast to. He..wonId curl up in a bow, look at us with those cold eyes,, and shp his body about in a very dangerous manner, but tho line was strong and we had him secure. The only thing we could do was to cutoff his tail and let him go clear of the trawl, and my partner held onto one side of his tail while I used the knife. In a minute he was clear, and. with back and bolly fins to propel with, drove for the bottom, leaving a trail of blood after him, that 1 knosv would cause trouble. lie caino up with a rush, jumping full length out of the water, and dropped wo close to our dory that tho splash nigh swamped us. We hauled away clear of him, and after we got out1 gear wo started to row for tho vessel. After rowing a short1 distance we wore in tho midst of a school of man-eating sparks that had scented tho blood of their maimed relative. My partner was rowing a new pair of oars and they attracted tho sharks. They made snap after snap at the blades, and as our dory was deep loaded with fish they appeared to think wo would be an easy prey. So hard did they press us that tho new oars had to be taken in and the fish thrown overboard to distract their attention. We wore within a quarter mile of the vessel and had succeeded in shaking off all but one of them. He was a 6iaallcus3 and would purr up alongside tha dory like a cat an 1 never loft us until we reached our vessel and were safe aboard. Only a Jackass. When men entor the speculative field .' (|hay quickly show how much of the ftbler is in their nature. Some are such born gamblers that they •ever weaken so long as there is a stake to bo obtained with which to operate, while others throw up the sponge after a dose or two of html luck. Not very long ago a gentleman was seized with the fever to speculate, and he made some ventures on 'change. In all of them ho had tho hardest kind oi luck and lost money too rapidly to ieel comfortable or good natured. Ho Was in ill-humor one day when ho met f riend who hud hoard of his specuions. The friend, in tho course of lversation, said: "Well, Jim, are you speculating any to-day?" Tho roply was brief and to the point; it was simply "Xo.11 Without noticing the abruptness of the answer or the tone of despondency in which it was given, the friend said: "I say, Jim, which are you, anyway, a bull or a bear?" To this the speculator replied in such a manner that his friend' could nob help but know tbe state of affairs and be refrained from further questioning. The answer was: "Neither, hang it; I am nothing but a bloody, blooming jackaia." _ LEFT-LEGGED HUMANITY. Why a Ma/n when Lost Always Travels Around In a Circle. ProfeaBor Ball, in "Le Dualisma Cerebral/' speaks of man aa a righthanded animaL Being right-handed, it is popularly assumed that he is also right-legged, but this does not appear to be the case. Standing, working with the right hand, there is a tendency to use tho left ley for balance. Many people find less exertion la going round circles to the ritrht than to the left Race tracks are nearly always made for running circles to the riff lit So the majority of movements are more readily performed to tho right, as dancing, ruuning, etc. The rule in walking is to keep to th e right, and this appears to bo almost universal. It Is more natural to bear to the right. Of a large number of people from the better educated classes are asked about the existence of the rule, only sixty-seven per cent malea and fifty-three percent females were aware of the rule; the large majority obey it unconsciously in walking. Crowds tend lo bear to the right. The left leg Deing the stronger, it is more readily brought into action; hence troops start otf with the left foot; it is the foot which is placed into the stirrup of the saddle or step of the bicycle in mounting; so the left foot is the loot from which a man Btarts in jumping. Jn the experiments of G. H. Darwin, blind-folding boys and telling: them to walk straight, the righthanded one diverged to the right and vice versa. From measurements of Dr. Garson of tbe skeletons of two legs, in 54.S per cent the left was the longer and 55.8 the right For measurements of the feet the writer collected the drawings me*, measurements of 200 pairs with tbe result that in 44 per cent the left was longer^ in 21.5 per oent the right, and in 84.5 per cent they were the same size. Measurement at the first joint gave 56 per cent left large, and at the instep 42.5 per oent From the cable of the figures it is observed that the left foot is more frequently the larger in the male than the female sex, and the percentage of feet of the same size is greater in the female. The percentage of the right larger than the left is very constant, whereas the number of the left larger and those in which both feet were the same size are much more variable. Man, being naturally or artificially righthanded and left-lesfged, tends unconciously to bear to the right; lo'.^er animals, on the other hand, appear nearly always to circle to the left Marriage The Hebrews had a beautiful and elevated idea of the marriage relation, the Greeks had n o t Spwta cared nothing for the sanctity of marriage, and it wan considered customary and reputable for men to ^ive their wives over to their friends. Aristotle speaks of men buying wives from one another. Homor refere to tho fact that the father w s the owner of tho child until s h e was beyond his control, and was paid for her in cattle, and this was called cuttle-finding. A Trojan ally, who wae slain by Agamemnon, had given 100 cattle to obtain a wife, and then promised 1,000 head of sheep and goate besides, if the wife proved unfaithful tho husband could demand back the price. Under the Roman law a dowager had to go with tho wife. Affinity and consanguinity were formerly, in some countries, greater objections to marriage than now. Gregory forbade tho marriage of cousins. The Church of England dooa not forbid such marriages. Some of our states do and some do not. Tho romantic Cleopatra was a daughter of a brother and sister, and she wedded her younger brothe-r, according to the custom of the Ptolemies. Many authorities claim that marriage to cousins is not detrimental where there had not boen such marriages in the family before. Tho marriage ceremony h s differed in all a^res. Among tho ancient Hebrews marriage begcwi with the betrothal, but no Jormality wad required. Ky his teaching Christ became a legislator on this subject and ennobled the relation more than it had ever been in tho world's history.—Cin. Com. Gazette. Tho Harvest.

A Germa n professor of languages at Dresden , in speaking before a class the othe r day, said tha t the next hundre d years would witness th e tota l extinctio n of the Germa n language, and tha t English alone would be spoken on th e habitabl e globe. That' s a good enoug h language for anybody. A scheme is being agitated in some part s of the state to nam e all countr y roads, as street s are now named , and to numbe r the houses along these roads. The plan is a good one and should be adopte d by countr y boards. At presen t countr y roads have no designatio n except as incidentall y fall to them and it is often difficult for stranger s to find their way without frequen t inquiries . Nam e th e roads and let the name s appea r on each corner . I t will then be easy to find any house in tho countr y as it now is in the city where the street and numbe r are given. CALE AT THE in need of PLAIN O O O O ^ O O O © M gtasouable CUR LETT'S Thrush, PinwormJHeav B Remeily. Curlett' s Thrus h Cure . A sure cure for Thrush , and all rottin g awej1 diseases of the feet of stock. Carlett' s 1/inwor m Remedy . (Fo r man or beast.) A compoun d tha t effectually removes those troublesom e parasites, which are such a great source of annoyanc e to stock. Curi e tt's Heave Remedy . A sure cure for heave* in the earlier staces, and warrante d to relieve in advance d stages, but not producin g a cure . Stoc k is kept for profit, th e work team s because the y can be used to an advantag e in th e growing of tho necessar y crop s and doin g th e work tha t can be don e cheapes t by horse power, the milch cows for th e calves and milk, sheep for wool, mutto n and the increase , an d hogs to be fed an d fattene d for market . Th e breed , th e feed and th e care to a great exten t determine s th e profit, and as th e year draws to a close it will be well enoug h to ascertai n as fully as possible whethe r or no t the stock kept on t he farm has been profitable , an d to determin e at th e same time whethe r or •no t by different managemen t th e profits migh t no t be increased . With a small numbe r of stock, an d when the y are fed from th e same bins of corn and th e same lofts of hay, it is mor e difficult t o keep an accoun t tha n if a sufficient numbe r of stock can be kept to have the feed for each different class kept separate . I t can hardl y be considere d good business managemen t to keep stock on th e farm an d no t know whethe r the y arc payin g a profit it is possible t o secure . Even with th e best class of stock the managemen t has muc h to do in determinin g th e profits, an d the managemen t should be looked over carefully, an d where it is possible improvement s should be made . Price s are low and profits are small, bot h in growing th e crop s an d in keepin g stock, and it is an advantag e to feed out th e product s of th e farm to stock an d increas e th e profits rathe r tha n to sell. Ther e is always a risk in feedin g and fattenin g sfock for market , as well as in breeding , and if the work canno t be mad e profitable it should nn t be done . While generall y on th e farm a bette r plan will be to keep a variety of stock, some farms are bette r adapte d to keepin g on e class of stock tha n others , and when thi s is th e case it will be bette r to make a specialt y of this class. Tn man y cases this fact canno t be ascertaine d unless mor e care is taken to keep accounts - with the different classes of stock. I t is some troubl e to keep accounts , bu t certainl y less tha n to keep »tockr breed , feed and care for them , a4id the n derive no profit, and especially v/he n the profits are small, th e only plan of accuratel y determinin g which stock are profitabl e is to keep account s an d look over tho past man - agemen t an d mako such improv e ments as are necessary. Jno . Steele , a miller of Scio, Mich. , says: "Hors e distempe r left my lior^e with a heavy cough which I thin k wo'ilii have produce d heaves, but for th e uss of Curlett' s Heav e remed y which cure d the cough in H short time find left tho horse in a jjood health y condition. " Valentin e Bros., successful Hors e and Shee p dealer s of Webster, (Ml 0.

Have tried Curlett' s Ihrus h remed y with a complet e cure as a result. " McQuilla n lSros., of Dexter , say: "Epizuati c on two different years Ltft two different ' horses with a heavy cough which would have probabl y produce d heaves but for th e uae of Curlett' s heave remed y which cure d the cough s in a short time and left the horses in a good health y condi - tion. " W. II . Lyons, of Lvons & Brownell, liverymen at Stoekbridge , Mich. , says: "We had a very bad case of Thrus h in a valuable mar e an d could not seem to cure it, after tryin g for a year. After tryin g one bottl e of Curlett' s Thrus h Remedy , th e mar e got over he r lamenes s an d ha s as good a foot as any horse , an d to-da y is cured. " Jno . Helber , highway commission - er, of Scio, Mich. , says: "I have used Curlett' s pinwor m remed y several years with the best of success; the "first dost* tha t I gave a horse brough t away a ball of pinworm s as big as my list. Always worked horses while giving Curlett' s pinwor m rem - edy which tone d the constitutio n and mad e them have a good sott glossy coat and my horses always increase d in good sound flesh after its use." H . (Tip. ) Ball, who doctor s th e greate r part of th e horses in ani l aroun d Dexter , and one of th e firm of Phelp s & Ball liverymen , horsedealers, and owners of the handsom e trottin g stallion , Regalia, says: U I have used Curlett' s thrus h remed y a great deal and have never known it to fail to produc e a permanen t cure for thrus h when used as directed,— I conside r it a positive cure foi the disease." J. C. Crawley, horse and cow doctor, of Scio, Mich. , and note d for always successfully removin g th e plaoent s from cowsr says: "I cure d my Frenc h pon y of a very bad case of thrus h with Curlett' s thrus h remed y which 1 have also used for bruisee, wounds , an d scars caused by feet comin g in contac t with sharp or hard substances .

Diptheria caused the death ef a little son of Jno. Caruthers, of Howell, on Sunday oflast week. It is said that Congressman Brewer will be married to Miss Lou Parker, of Pontiac, in the near future. Mrs. Irene Packard died on Monday of last week :it the home of T. J. in Howell, aged 70 years. Alvin C. Latson and Clara J .

There were 35 present to partake of the bountiful dinner the good host and hostess had prepared, and in the evening the young people enjoyed a social hop, in honor of Irwin Webb's 20th birth-day. The good time will be long remembered by all who were there.— Williomaton Enterprise. Mr. C. E. Calley, who for the past few months has been operating a furniture factory, is much interested in organizing a stock company .for the manufacture of furniture. This is an enterprise that com mends itself to the people of this village and vicinity as being worthy of a hearty fostering. It would require fuirds sufficient to erect a building of brick 40x60 feet with iron roof, the cost of which would be about $1500, and could a stock company of say from six to eight thousand dollars be established, Mr. Calley informs us it would be a profitable investment, and one that would at least pay 20 per cent, profit on the money invested. There is no better point in the state than this. The shipping facilities are all that could be desired; the stock of lumber is at hand for the manufacture; it would employ from 15 to 20 men, and add an enterprise to our village that would be felt by the business men of the village and the farmers. Mr. Calley is so certain of its success that he would invest $2000 in the enterprise could some others be induced to join him.— Stockbridge Sun.

I a snake stuck his head through a hole in a wall, a pretty tight squeeze, for the hole was but small. But a sight met his eye* that repaid him for pain. • fat hop-toad sat sunning himself on tbe plain.

Jfcat scarcely his dinner had vanished from \Z7 •*?** the snake found himself in a pitiful W^ plight, With the hop-toad bait down his best efforts were vain, He could not draw hia head through the hole back again; Nor would the small hols let hia body pass through. la such frightful dilemma, what could the auake do t Well—the hop-toad hopped home, and his snake ship backed out, A much wiser and hungrier snake, there's no doubt. This nice little tale (I assure you 'tis fact.) Shows we'd better think twice when boginuing to act, And also, that trouble may sometimes befall From sticking our heads through a hole iu the wall. "You will be welcome with or without Austen's permission," he had said fervently. Tessa resolved to test the truth of the words. Hastily she thrust a few necessaries into her traveling bag, and packed her dresaes and clothes into the large traveling trunk. It could be sent after her at some future time, she thought. As she turned the key the flash of the diamond on her hand caught her eye. It was not usual among the Friends to exchange rings; but Austen, though he laughed at the custom, had gratified Tessa's childish fancy for pretty things and given her a ring she had admired one day in a jeweler's window—a broad gold band \H^h. one large diamond set in the centre. There was a Hash of indignan ttears in Tessa's eyes as she drew this ring from her finger, placed it in an envelope and addressed it to Austen. How well she remembered the day on which he had brought it home from town—the loving words he whispered as he placed it on her linger—the kisses she had given as her thanks! Ah, well, it was all ended now! she thought. She completed her preparations, putting her bag carefully out of sight in the wardrobe, and, having removed all traces of packing from the room, drew up her chair to the window, and sat looking out across the garden with sad dreamy eyes! How pretty it looked that summer afternoon, with the sunshine pouring upon the trim lawn, und the roses and lillies of which poor Mrs. Bevan had been so fond! How many happy hours Tessa had spent there with Austen during the last few weeks! The tears rushed into her eyes at tho remembrance of them. The carriages' returned by-and-by from the funeral. Tessa saw Austen, looking vei-y pale and stern, descend and enter tho house, and heard him cross the hall and shut himself up in his study. The clay wore on; the guests who had been invited to the fuueral departed, and a groat silenco fell^upon tho house. Tessa was startled out of her reverie at last by a low tap at the door. At the sound her cheeks Hushed and bev heart beat wildly. Perhaps it was Austen—Austen who had repented of his harshness, and had come willing to listen to the explanation which she had offered and he had refused to hear. Hurriedl y she rose from her seat and opened the door; but her heart sank again, and she could not repress a tfaint cry of disappointment, for it was not Austen who itood there, but only the under house- »aid. «'Oh, Mary, is it you?" she said. ^ V s , Miss Tessa." '"All the servants were fond of Tessa, and with this girl she was an especial favorite; and now she looked pityingly at Tessa's tear-stained face. •'I came to see if you wanted anything, miss. May I bring you a cup of tea and something lo eat? You have had nothing since breakfast, and you are looking quite pale and ill." ••I have a headache. Yes. you may brinjf mo some tea, please, Mary." "And something to eat with it, mitt? There is to bo no regular din- -day, for master and Mrs. C'aldined early with tho visitot>< took said I had to tell y*rrt'sho would make some soup Utff'Tn a minute." . ^ , - ' ' ' " "Cook is vQry'kind." Tessa, suddenly remembering tho journey that lay,J^fore her, and also that it was .-improbable she would get anything to eat until late at nights-felt grateful to cook for' the suggestion. "1 should like the soupr*' "Then Til bring it at once, miss.'1 . Mary retired, and presently returnad with a tray containing a vory tempting little repast; Tessa, who had eaten very little in the past two days felt her appetite return at the sight of i t She ate heartily, and thoroughly enjoyed the cup of fragrant coffee which concluded the meal. Mary looked on with satisfied eyes. "There—you look better already, miss! It's queer what a difference food makes to one's feelings," she remarked philosophically. "I wish you could persuade Mr. Revan to have something, miss. He ate nothing at luncheon, and directly he came home from the funeral he shut himself up in his study—it is over the housekeeper's room, you know, miss—and we can hear him walking up and down the room and never resting a minute. He do take on sadly to be sure, but he was so fond of the poor old missus! Incteed, who wasn't?"—and Mary put her apron to her eyes and sobbed. "Ah, there's one though that don't grieve much!" "Who, Mary?" Tessa asked absently. "Why, Mrs, Callender, of course, miss! bhe1d barely got home from the funeral afore she was in the poor missus's room, ferreting about her drawers! And you know that white lace scarf which missus said you was to have for a remembrance of her? Well, I saw Mrs. Callender with my own eyes take it out of the drawer and carry it off to her room; and it's my opinion, miss, and cook's too, that she means to keep it." '•Nevermind, Mary; I can remember Mrs. Bevan without the scarf. Now you may take these things away; and, Mary"—Tessa hesitated—"my headache is so bad that I will stay here and be quiet; and as I shall not want anything else, you need njt disturb me again to-night." "Very well, miss. You will be sure touring if you want anything?" "Quite sure; but I Bhall not want anything. Tell Mrs. Callender so, please, if she makes any inquiries about me." "Oh, she won't trouble herself, miss—no fear!'1 Mary gave a sniff, took up her tray, and left the room. Tessa locked the door after her, took out her bag, and looked at her watch. The train by which she intended to travel left Pennington at six; it would take her nearly an hour to walk to the station, and, as it was then nearly five, she had no time to lose. She slipped on a long ulster and a close hat, and, taking her bag in her hand, crept noiselessly down-stairs, and unnoticed left the" house. There was great consternation in the household tho next morning when Tessa's tlight was discovered. Mrs. Callender came Hying into the library, where Auslen was writing letters, full of alarm and wondering conjectures. She was much astonished at the way in which her brother received the intelligence — utterly thunderstruck when he told her calmly, but with a gray haggard look on his face, that he was not surpried—that he had fancied that Tessa intended to leave them, only—-and his face changed a little—• he had not expected she would go so soon or HO suddenly. Their engagement lrid been broken otY two days before; some facts very discreditable to Tessa h»d come to his knowledge, and 'made this course absolutely necessary. He refused, however, much to Mrs. Calender's disappointment, to say what Uiese falts were, and something in his face and mannor forbade even that strong-minded lady to persist in her inquiries.' "Sho left this for you, Austen," placing tho envelope which contained tho ring on the table. Auslen took and opened it slowly— took the ring in his hand. He looked at it for a moment in silence, then, with a sneering laugh, threw it into the drawer of his desk. Tessa's Might had thoroughly convince him that his suspicions were correct. Well, she might go. She had preferred shame to honor—vice so virtue, and he would not lift a finger to drag her back. * • • * * • "Austen have you heard that Noel Cleveland has come back to Priory?'1 Three months had passed since that July evening when Tessa had left her home, and it was now nearly tho end of October. The nights and mornings were cold and frosty, and here and there the trees were beginning- to show the vivid lints of autumn. Austen, who was sitting- by the tire with a book" in his hand, started and frowned OIK grily at the words. "No, I did not know j.t. "When?\ he said curtly. "Last Monday. His wife died, three months ago, you know, jiml he is coming bat'k to live alto^eher at the _Pi»tO'ry, he tells me.'' "Is he married again?' "(Jood'gracious, Austen"—and Mrs. Cnllendor assumed her most severe expression—"and his wife just dead! Of course, he will marry again, byand by." Sho paused for a moment, and then wont on meditatively, "I used to think he admired Tossa very much once, and certainly the ea^er way in which ho asked after her to-day confirms that idea," "After her?" and Austen looked up sx^donly. "Yes, and seemed so astonished when I told him she was not with us —so astonished indeed that he forgot his good manners," Mrs. Callender went on severely. "What did you tell him?" Austen's voice bounded very hoarse and strange, Mrs. Callender thought. She looked at him rather sharply. "What could 1 tell him, except that she had left us quite suddenly, and that I did not know where she was?" she answered in an aggrieved voice. "You were always so very mysterious about Tessa, Austen, and he seemed so surprised." Austen sprang up suddenly from bin seat. Could this be true? Could Cleveland really be as ignorant as he pt-etended to be—know as little of Teasa's movements? Surely he must be either the most consummate hypocrite— the mjbt bare-faced villian; or he—Austen—must be tho greatest fool the world held! He felt that he could not rest an instant lonyer—that he could not let another hour pass by before he confronted Cleveland and learned the truth. Without another word, and with a restless impetuosity which surprised and annoyed Mrs. Callender, he went hastily out of the room, caught up his hat from the hall-tablo, and rapidly walked across the lields to tho Priory. There was a light in the library window— the room which Cleveland generally occupied when alone; Austen saw his shadow move across the blind as he passed, heard his cheery voice speaking to his dogs. The servant who opened the door looked a little surprised when he saw the visitor. It was many a long dav since Austen had been at the Priory. He took him at once into the library where Cleveland was sitting. The room looked cheer.'ul and cosy; a table spread with wine and fruit and flowers wtw drawn close to the fire; a great mastiff and a tiny terrier were rolling about on the rug, and Cleveland, lying back in his chair with his pipe between his lips, looked the picture of comfort and ease. He started up and looked surprised as the visitor entered, then came forward with outstretched hand and a cordial greeting. "Austen! It is pleasant to see you here again!" he cried. "You have come to welcome me home? Sit down, old fellow—I am delighted to see you!" But Austen did not take any notice of the proffered hand. There was an intent questioning look on his face, and his eyes gleamed oddly under their thick brows, and Cleveland noticed that the veins on his clenched hands stood out like knotted cords. "I have come," he said at last, speaking in an unnatural voice, "to ask you one question; and when you have answered it 1 will either ask your pardon on ray knees, or execrate you as the greatest villian that ever walked this earth! Where is Tessa Cardine?" . "Tessa Cardine? How on earth should I know?11 Cleveland cried, in a tone of the wildest amazement. "I should have thought you were the most likely person to answer that question. Why do you ask me?'" The;e was such an unmistakablesurprise in Ins face—such an accent of complete truth in his voice that Austen could not doubt any longer. He gave one long searching look into Cleveland's lace a look which seemed as if it would 'pierce into his very soul, then, with an odd sound, half of relief, half of despair, sank into a chair and covered his race with his hands. Cleveland watched him silently a few minutes with a sympathetic impatient face. "Come, Austen, don't be a fool! Don't you know whore she is?" he said, at last. "Why do you ask me?" "Hecause I thought sho was with you/" Even Cleveland was moved to compassion at the sight of the stricken white face which Austen raised. He Ustoned in silence, but with his heart beating with indignation, as Auslen, in a tone of resolute calmness, told the story of 'his jealousy and anger' and Tessa's tlight. TO BE CONTINUED. LOOSE'S EXTRACT A few milles from the city of London resides a gentleman and his good wife owning and tilling tifty aci;es of land. The gentleman had always had great faith in his cows paying well, but thought the hens a bill of nonsense. Thtrlady, on the other hand, concluded^ that the hons paid better thrtn the cows. Accordingly one spring she determined to keep books for one season and ascertain the respective merits of both. Sho credited j tho hens with all the eggs laid, and interesting indeed was the contrast as the time drew ni^h for receiving the cherk from the cheese factory. But it came at last ami behold the hens were ahead, and so it continued throughout the season. Ono hundred hons to three cows, and ns they had decided that it wo.ild cost about tho same to keep eacu the gentleman was forced to yield the point and admit thnt hens were most proiitable. It is not at all difficult to make hens pay • 1 per head per annum if properly cared for. The writer on one occasion made $H per head on five dark h rah ma hens after payirig all expenses. This, it will be understood, was for eggs and meat alone, not for breeding stock, as half-a-dollar was the highest price realized for young birds. rau» IUBX X3P OUJU3BS Cancan, Homo™, Bores, Ulcers, Swelling*.

The firtt blue book was transmitted to the Senate by Alexander Hamilton, Secretary of the treasury, in compliance with a resolution of the senate. The second blue book was sent to the house by President Jefferson, as he said in accordance with the suggestions made by him in in his last annual message. Some fourteen years elapsed before another blue book was issued, and then in the year 1816 Congress passed a law requiring the secretary of state to compile and print once in every two years "a register of all lofficers and accents, civil, military and naval, in the service of the United States." This was practically the first register of the present series, and the register has been issued every two years since that date. The period of 73 years covered by these publications has been one of almost constant growth in the executive branches of the government. Every biennial register contains more names than the preceding one, and the new one to be issued next winter, it is predicted, will not destroy the precedent. It is estimated that the new blue book will show thM there are between 15,000 and 20,000 persons in this ciby alone in the employ of the government. The complete roster will probably contain over 170,000 names of employes. This latter number includes the post-office and customs employes and the great army of men in all parts of the country who. are needed to assist in keeping in motion the machinery of the government.

Glenn, the canary bird whist- Jifcry received compliments of all, Over fifty enjoyed the evening. Keuka Lake is twenty miles long by two wide. Penn Yan is at oneextremity. Hammondsport the other. While making passage across tht lake a citizen of the former place related this story: Some years ago a friend of mine, taking his, little Bon along, went fishing on this lake. The boy was at the father's back at the stern of the boat. Soon a violent splashing accompanied by a stifled scream startled the father, who a moment later clutched the foot of his son, just disappearing in the waters of the lake. Pulling: him aboard he also landed a salmon trout five feet long, weighing forty pounds, with his teeth firmly imbedded in the boy'i face on either side of the nose. The little fellow, lying on the seat, hia body half over the siu» of the boat, was mirroring hia face in the lake. The fish sprang up, seizing him, and so lost his balance. As quickly aa possible the boy was taken home, a doctor and a photographer were called, nnd to-day a picture of the boy with the fish attached may be seen at Penn Yan. Doubting the story I was taken into the pilot house where the story was verified. The boy, now a young man, was pilot of the boat. He corroborated the story fully, showing mo the scars on hia face.—New York World. A Lazy Man's Hill. When the first settlers came to North America they found the Indians using a pestle or mortar to crush the maize which formed their chief vegetable food. In South America the natives had progressed farther and had contrived the Monjoloi which may be truly styled a lazy man's mill, for while it saves man's labor, only a very lazy man would be willing to await the results of its operations. In form it is like a huge wood hammer, balanced half way up the handle on a pivot. At the end of the handle opposite the hammer is a hollow scoop; into thia a natural stream of water is directed, and when the scoop is filled the extra weight forces it downward, when the water runs off. Thus released from the weight the hammer end returns suddenly to its former position, giving one strong blow in the receptacle made to hold the rice or corn. Thus it goes on day and night as long as thestrenm runs; a monotonous thud, a creaking groan, the sound of a splash of water, a thud, a groan, a splash, over and over, until at last the grain, having been coarsely broken, is taken out and the mortar U refilled.

D. BBSTKBTT. Publisher. \, ?INCKN£T MICHIGAN Jolm Baard Allen, Who has been chosen United Statea senator from the new state of Washington, is a native of Indiana and is fortyfive years of agre. He enjoyed no •pecial advantages in the way of education, but being a bright and indus*- trious boy, he tried to improve his mind by studying and reading in his spare hours. During the civil war he served for two years in the 138th Indiana Infantry. After the war he moved to Rochester, in Minnesota, where for a year he served as agent for a grain firm. Next he read law in the office of Judge Wilson of Rochester, and soon entered the law school at Ann Arbor, Michigan. He was admitted to the bar in 1869 and became a resident of Olympia, the present capital of Washington, where he opened an office in the public reading room, of which he haa become custodian at a salary of 1.5 dollars a month. He was unknown in the territory and had nobody to help him on, but so great was his ability that he came to tho front. In 1875 he became United States attorney for Washington Territory. Since 1881 he has boon a resident of Walla-Walla. In 1887 he was chosen to represent Washington in congress by a majority of 1,000 over his democratic opponent. BARGAINS. JULIA WARD HOWE. Chris. Klointz is a goody-goody boy of I'hiladelphia, fourteen years old, whom his parents want to raise, but the precocious scion of the house of Kleintz will have to reform or the daisies will bloom over him in the early part of the spring. About a year ago Chris was taken ill. and confessed to his anxious parents that he was in the habit of smoking cigarettes, promising, however, to give up the habit. His resolution was broken, and the other day a rash broke out all over his body, followed by a remarkable swelling, until the body became twice its normal size. For ten hours physicians labored with him before they succeeded in starting a prespiration, and when this was accomplished the swelling was reduced. If Chris lives he will solemnly promise never to use the weed in any form. The New York supreme court has decided in the • Vassar contested will case that the executors must pay the sum of twenty thousand dollars and interest to the trustees in charge of the fund. It seems that during his life-time John Guy Vassar gave twenty thousand dollars, contingent upon the raising of one hundred thousand dollars. The death of Mr. Vassar occurred before the fund was raised, and when the whole amount was finally donated the executors of Mr. Vassar's will refused to pay the amount subv scribed by him, hence the suit, and the decision above mentioned. I i A bill is to be introduced in the present congress to set apart Alaska »s a penal colony for the worst clasB of criminals. Such a measure can never be adopted, because, it is antagonistic to a republican form of govern* saent, but rather belongs to the monarchies of the old world. The public lands o( this country belong to th« •people and are open to settlement by Iheu), and should never be set apar* tor criminals. The United.

' • TESSA, CHAPTEi: ; }j '•Poor little Tessa! 1'oor Uttle girl! Oh, 1 had only known!" he thought There was a flash of righteous anger in his eyes as he looked back at Austen. "And you let her go," he said slowly, but with a withering contempt in his voice which sent the blood rushing into Austen's face—"you thought this, and you let her go, and never raised a finger to save from certain ruin and shame the woman you professed to love? Why, jf I had been you"—and his sallow face flushed and his eyes grew bright and angry—"I would have gone after her to the very end of the world—I would have put a bullet through the scroundrel who tempted her away, and I would have saved her —in spite of herself—of all!" With an uncontrolled excitement he sprang from his chair walked up and down the room, Hashing angry glances at Austen's while suffering face. " I would to heaven that you had been right—that she loved me, poor little girl," he cried passionately. Austen "listened, but he scarcely heard the, words. Another voice— other words, forgotten till now, rang in his ears and drowned Noel's passionate words. "Some day you will remember that you would not listen," Tessa had said calmly. He could remember the very tone of her voice see her sad eyes looking back as she lingered by the doorway. Noel, a little ashamed of his excitement, ca.me back to his chair again and resumed his pipe; ho looked furtively at Austen belween the sharp, quick pulls of smoke. "Do you really m^nn to say that you don't know where a'le is? ' he asked. '•No." Austen shook his head. Cleveland hesitated a moment. "You don't deserve it. but I think I may possibly help you to h'nd out," he said after a short silence. "Are you aware that a few days before your mother's death your brother Antony was at the Hall?" "Antony! Impossible!"—and Antony looked up with a startled exclamation. "Quite' possible?' answerer! Nool with a short laugh. "I ought to know for I was the means of bringing him there. It seems that your mother had an intense desire to see him again —a desire which she knew that neither you nor Mrs. Callender would be likely to gratify; and so Tessa—she was always a tender-hearted little soul, bless her!—came to me and asked me to find out his addresfc. I did so, not without Borne trouble; and I know the fact," Noel went on, looking steadfastly into Aufr ns anxious face, "that Antony was once, if not twice, at the Hall unknown to you about the time of Mrs. Bevan's death." "And you think that Tessa is with him now?" There was a new light, a radiant Hush on Austen's face. "1 think it is probable enough; or at all events be may know where she is. I can give you his address if you care to inquire." Noel could not resist the sneer. "Indeed I got Antony a berth in the o.Ike of a friend of mine—a lawyer in Gray's Inn." He turned over the pages of his pooket book until he found the address. ••Yes, hero it is." He scribbled a few lines of a card and gave it to Austen; but he did not wish him God-speed, and he turned impatiently away as the other thanked him eagerly. "Thank you, and forgive me!" Austen said huskily, as he turned toward the door; and Noel laughed oddly. "I will forgive you when Tessa does," he said. He went back to his chair and look up his pipe and book again as the door closed behind the visitor; but the book soon dropped unheeded from his hand, and the pipe went out as he lay back in his chair and meditated over the past interviow and Austen's late repentance. How# would the quest end? he wondered. * Would Tessa forgive Austen? What sin was there too great for a? woman to forgive in the man she loved? But yet Tessa was scarcely one of the tender all-forgiving order of womanhood, he thought, with a half-smile. She was rather one who would passionately resent injustice and harshness. And if she would not forgive Austen—well, there might be a chance for some one else. Noel's lips curved into a tender smile as he fancied what that might mean to him. How good he would be to her! he thought. And so he lay back in his chair and indulged just for a brief half-hour in a blissful dream of the happy future and the perfect life which—alas for poor Noel!—was never to dawn for him. • • * * Antony was much surprised one morning when Austen walked into the dingy little office in Gray's Inn where, by Cleveland's recommendation, he was employed as copying clerk. He bent lower over his desk, which was at the farther end of the room, and turned his face away, and listened eagerly as the familiar voice asked to see the principal of the firm. But he was still more astonished by-and-by to be called into the inner room where Austen was waiting for him. He had said once that ho would never Btoop to ask or receive a favor from his brother; but now the canes were reversed, and Austen had conio to ask a favor from Antony -the elder brother to seek help and advice from the prodigal son; and Antony could afford to bo generous and accept the hand of reconciliation which Austen so eagerlyproffered. 'xea, you are right, Tessa is with us," he said in auswer to Austen's question. "She came to me just after my mother's death, and she has been like an angel in the house ever since. We were at very low water just then: for my wife was ill and obliged to give up her engagements at the theatre; and, as you may fancy"—and he smiled bitterly— "my salary here is not a very magnificent one. I don't know what we should have done without Tessa; and now I suppose you have come to take her away? ' "If she will let me," Austen said doubtfully. His heart was beating painfully as at last he stood before the door of the little house where Antony and his wife had set up their household goods; it beat still more violently as the little maid took him up the narrow staircase and, opening a door, ushered him in with the brief annoUcement, "A gentleman, please, miss!" He heard the door close behind him—felt rather than saw Tessa rise from her seat by tho window. The room was very dingy, but neat and clean enough. Two little children were playing on tho rug before the tire; a canary was singing loudly, and its shrill voice blended with Tessa's cry of surprise as she started to her feet and looked at tho new-comer. Tho color surged into her face, her lips trembled. Mho made one step forward; then, with a little proud gesture, drew herself up to her full hight, and stood looking at Austen with grave questioning eyes. Hurriedly he crossed tho floor to her bide, and took the unwilling little hands in his tipht chis-p. "Tessa, will you forgive me? I know what a fool I have been!" he in a low pained voice. Tessa drew her hands gently away. "Yes—I forgave long ago," she answered coldly. "And you will make your forgiveness complete? You will come back to mo again—lot everything bo as it was before?" Austen pleaded. Tessa shook her head, and the eyes which looked up into Austen's face were full of a great sadness. "I think that could scarcely be,11 she answered, speaking very slowly and quietly. "One cannot so easily take up the broken threads of one's life and weave them into a perfect whole again. I was a child then, and I had a child's perfect trust in your love and justice; but I am a woman now, and I know." Austen's heart sank low. This cold calmness was so different from Tessa's old impetuosity; but still he persevered. "I was mad, Tessa!" he said humbly. "I loved you so dearly, and I was mad with love and jealousy! Can't you forgive me, sweet? Or are you indeed changed so completely? The old Tessa would never have been so unforgiving and hard! Can't you forgive9" Tessa gave a quick passionate sob. "Ah, that is the worst of it, Austen! ' she said sadly. "I am changed —terribly changed! I think the old Tessa whom you used to love died that day when you told her to go. But she can never come back again, my dear. I forgive—oh, yes, with all my heart I forgive—but I cannot forget— I can never be ray old self again!' "You forgive, but you cannot forget? That i» a half-hearted sort of forgiveness, swejt!" Austen's hopes rose at the sight of the tearful agitated face. Once more he took the trembling hands within his own. "Let me teach you to forget; no pupil should ever have a more patient, more zealous master than I will be, Tessa, if you will let me try." "I think It would be better not to try," she faltered. "It might only be a failure again. And I am happy here; they love me, and I am of use to them in many ways; and here no one thinks it is wicked to laugh and.be gay—to dance and sing; there are no chilling looks, cold words! Oh, I think I had better stay! There are the children too—I could not bear to part from them now." "I will not part you from them, Tessa. Antony's place in the bank is open to him—I have just told him so," Austen answered earnestly. "Have you seen him?" Tessa looked up quickly. "You are reconciled then?" she went on. "Yes, we have just parted; he sent me here." "I am so glad! And, Austen"— Tessa hesitated and colored—"you will try to like Milly, will you not? She is not very refined perhaps: but she is very kind, and she has been, oh, bo good to me!" "I will like her for that reason alone," Austen declared. "And, Tessa"— he put his hands upon the girl's shoulders and looked down searchingly into her troubled eyes—"Antony and 1 are friends again. Will you be less forgiving, sweetheart? Will you not forget my cruelty and injustice, and come back with meP" But still Tessa hesitated. Her face was very pale and troubled, and there was great unshed tears in the eyes which she raised to Austen's face. "Oh, what can I say!" she said piteously. "It is so hard to refuse you; and yet they want me so badly here." "But I want you too, my Tessa," Austen pleaded tenderly. "Antony has his wife and children, and I have no one. I want you most of all. Will you not come, sweet?" "I will come, since you want me so much—I will come!" she cried; and Austen bent and kissed the sweet pale face. * * * * So Tessa came back to the Hall again—came back to be, as of old, the brightness and sunshine of Austen's life. Yet not quite as of old either. The gay light-hearted Tessa, whose trust and faith in her lover had once been so boundless, had vanished, and in her place was a sadder, wiser woman, who had suffered wrong and injustice, and learnt doubt and mistrust from both. Mrs. Callender, who removed from the Hall after her brother's marriage, to a house nearer the town, much apr proves of the change in Tessa; and Austen, even while he grieves over the loss of the old bright gaiety, loyes better Btill the sweet seriousness which has come in its stead. Only sometimes, as he watches his wife romping in tho garden with her children, ho fancies that he catches a glimpse of tho old light-hearted Tea-.a. Some one elso looks on and watchos as well as Austen. The old intimacy between the Priory and tho Hall has been resumed; and in tho rooms where the poor mad lady mdaned over her lost child the voices of Tessa's children make sweet music in tho ears of tho man whose life, though lonely, iB far from being unhappy. Noel was always patient and unselfish, and, seeing Tessa happy and contented, ho is, afier a fashion, happy too. THK KM). A Devotional Dog. During a revival at a Methodist church in Orlando, Fla., tho other night quite a solemnly comic incident occurred. There is a certain dog in town who has been taught by his owner to kneel in the attitude of prayer when commanded by a snap of the' owner's fingers. The dog followed a lady and gentleman into tfcfii church and insisted upon making himself at home around the altar, to tho annoyance of those conducting the meeting. One of the congregation, noticing the unwelcome presence of the canine, rose from his seat and proceeded to conduct his do;, hip to the street. He was making slow prqgress in his efforts, and when about midway down the center aisle chirped and snapped his fingers at the animal, who deliberately turned round, placed his paws upon the end of a pew, and bowed his head aa if in earnest prayer. His Conscience Troubled Him. W. A. Cuddy, who was chaplain of the legislature of Arizona which has just adjourned, has sent to the treasury department for deposit in the conscience fund the sum of $22.50, being a part of the salary paid him as chaplain. His motive for this action is explained by him as follows: "I cannot see that it is right for the rulers to take the people's money and pay it out to some hypocrite to stand up before a legislative body and pray for pay." He also states that he once acted as clerk of the legislature and received for his services $640; but while performing this duty he was also employed in whisky selling. He thinks he should return the $640, and would do so, he says, but for the fact that he has not got it. Mr. Cuddy resides at Phoenix, A. T.

The woman in this case is Louise Thibault, * native of Quebec, who went to Washington, met Silcott, and so enfatuated the man that his own cash was not sufficient to enable him to do Justice to his inamoratu, v and he used the government's cash. While several members of the house are mourning the loss of their salaries because of Silcott's crookedness, Congressman Wheeler of Michigan, is happy over the fact that he did not sign the voucher for his November pay, and so he is not caught in the same box. The loss to the members is only a temporary stringency, for they may be safely trusted to speedily pass some measure for their own relief. Of course it is too early in the session to predict what will be done, but it is absolutely certain that the tariff question will be discussed, and it is to be hoped that something may be accomplished. Apropos of this subject, Senator Allison of Iowa, the author of the seirate tariff bill considered at the last session of congress, says: "There will be some legislation on the tariff, but wbethor it will be on the lines of the bill prepared by the senate finance coinaiittee of the last congress is too broad a question to answer now. The house In the last congress sent us a tariff bill, and we did with it the best that we could. Tbe house has the matter in its bands now, und must originate whatever legislation there is." A number of important measures have already beeu introduced, among others a bill prepared by Senator ripooner to secure freedom of voters at the poua. The provisions of the bill are far-reaching in their t scope, and tbe penalties provided for violation of uny one of them severe enottgh to detor tbe most recklesH ward politician. $ Michigan's new senator, McMillan, was on hand eurly in the session with a bill for the payment of the Knaggs claim, which grows out of the use by tbe government of some of the Knag^s buildings in Detroit during the war of 1812. Senator McMillan has also introduced a bill to pay Mrs. Triple r 110,000'for tho use by the medical de partmentof the government of the manual , prepared by her hus:md and in constant use by the medical departments of govern ment work. Through tho exertions of Congressman Bel knap of Grand Rapids, Miss Jennie Harrison, a socund cousin of President Harrison, baa been appointed to a place in the government printing oftice. Miss Har risoo is a very independent young woman who has had to battle alone with the world over since her father and hor brother were oarriexl to tho bottom of Lake Michigan with the ship wtiich her father sailed. Un like many of the Branches of tho H.irrison family tree, she has never made herself I known to her exulted kinsman, and unless he reads this item he will hover know that bis cousin is folding papers in tho government printing oftice. Trio question was raised aa to whether the wur department would take any offl cial action because of the death of Jeffer son Davis. A large oil nuiuting of the leader of the "lost cause" hangs on the wall of the chief clerk's room, and bears the following inscription: "Jefferson Davis, secretary of war, 18.^)^7, Pierce"s administration." When asked what course tho department would pursue, Sec retary Proctor said: "I see no occasion for any action whatever. It would sub serve no good purpose that I can see. It is better to lot tho mutter rest in oblivion's sleep, if it will, «nd to relegate it to the past, than to do anything that would re vive memories butter forgotten." Tho mantle of a noble charity is thrown over the errors of the man who acted froa conscientious motives, und representative men oi both north und south speak ouiy in kindly terms of tho dead. A little over '2."> years ago there was organized in this city an organization of Michigan men cither temporary or perman ent residents of the city, for tho purpose of aiding Michigan soldiers. During the past quarter ot a century the society has been alternately i\ partisan and social club. The members of the society have decided to abandon the political fo.itures of tho organ ization and are planning for u number of social entertainments during this winter. Tbe president nf the organization is Col. C. P. Liucoin of Coidwater, and tho secretary is K. li. Banutrri of Adrian. A bill is now bo fore the senate which that body will ;rio woli to pass speedily. Tho bill is to duly compensate soldiers who woro confined in confederate prisons during the late war for thirty days or more after the expiration of the time for which they enlisted. Tho bill provides thai they shall receive *;i a d.iy for each day's imprisonment until tho day of tboir dischurgo. Washington wants iho World's Fair irr 18!«3, uml much eiVective work is being dono to secure it. A bill has already been introduced in congress which provided for the issuance of *i.\iKH),OUO in bonds by tho district to cover the expenses of the proat exhibition. Tho scheme includes a .statue of Columbus, to bo unveiled October 12, 1802. Kvery prosldent, kinn, emperor and other roignmg sovereign in tho world is to bo invited to attend tho groat show.

The efforts of Congressman O'Donnell to secure a pension for Mrs. Nancy Carey of Charlotte recalls some very interesting reminiscences. Mrs. Carey is now 77 years old, and her father, Thomas D. Cornweli, lost an eye in the battle of Bunker Hill. He bravely persevered to tbe end of that eight years' struggle and lived to the ripe age of ninety. Mrs. Carey remembers tbe day in 1824 when the Marquis de Lafayette visited her father and how tbe two lought over the old battles, particularly the surrender of Burgoyne ai Saratoga. In the early part of 1862 Mrs. Carey, who had beerfe a widow for over eight years, was living at Lewiston, N. Y"., spending much of her time attending the sick and unfortunate among the Indians of the Tuscarora nation, whose principal war chief, C. C. Cusick, bears evidence that she wus lla lady of good reputation, with many good virtues." At that time Mrs. Carey's iwo sous, one of whom was 19 and the other ltj years old, became fired with the patriotic desire to serve their country, and the widowed mother determined to go with and care for tbem. They enlisted In company G, One Hundred and Fifth New York volunteers, and sho joined tbe same company as a nurse. She was sent with the other nnrses to Fortress Monroe, and when Gen. Pope took command of tho army of the Potomac she was ordered hrst to Alexandria, Va., and then to her regiment near Warreuton. While nursing the sick she was prostrated by a sunstroke wtiich disabled her for about three weeks, and from tho effects of which she has never quite reeovered. As soon as she was nble she started to join her regiment, then at Culi>epper. Losing her way she was captured by the rebe.s and taken to the headquarters of CJeus. Lee uiid Longstreet at Waterloo Bridge. There she was charged with beiuf? a spy. For four days she was kept in u sitting posture with her hands tightly bound behind her, and was fed by a colored woman. On the arrival of Stonewall Jackson he ordered her release, and sent her to Washington, whence sho was roturnod to her regiment. in.the buttles of Centerville, Culpepper, Cedar Mountain, second Bull Run, Antio tain, Chuncellorsville and Gettysburg she ministered to the wounded. At Antietam her son, Joseph T. Carey, was wounded, and when he was sent to Washington with CCJL Curl, his commander, und 1700 wounded soldiers, Mrs. Caroy went with them und nursed tho colonel until he died, after having his leg amputated three times. When her other son Calvin L., was wound ed at Gettysburg she accompanied him to the West Philadelphia hospital, at which institutioa sho received her discharge as a nurse March 'J(\ 1M15, after three years of hard service. Now both her sons are dead, she is too old to work, and the only property she has is asm nil house and lot, on which there is a mortage. On this statement of facts, which is amply authenticated, sho asks tho government for a small pension. Several western railroad companies have representatives at Washington who will endeavor to have coupress pivo to cueh of the western states the arid lands within its borders, and the companies will endeavor to get tho several states to combine with them in the formation of irrigation companies to fertilize those lands.

Montana's republican senators ordered tho sernoant at-arms to arrest uud brin* in the democratic senators, but as as tho hitler had not taken tho oath of office, they refused to comply wilh tho sergeant's.request.

In cases where thoro is no intellectual qualification for votors, a voter who cannot road or write limy call on un inspector to Jissist him in prepuntiK his vole. Tho returns must be cunvusoed within Jk) days after election. Government officials havo been officially notified of Uio di\ith of Jeff Davis.

The fine new residence of County Clerk Howlett came near being reduced to ashes yesterday afternoon. Only timely discovery and prompt action saved it.

Betty Martin, an old colored lady, died in the county house Saturday. She is suid to have been 110 years t,ld. Until a few months ago ahe had resided in Ypislanti.

The absurdity of ^he new election law requiring all tickets to be issued from the office of the secretary of state and that they shall bear a suitable vignette or inscription is too apparent.

On Saturday morning Willis, the eight-year-old son of County Clerk Howlett, met with an accident by which he will lose the sight of his left eye. He, with a couple of young companions, was tossing up some horse-shoes nails, and as he was looking upwards one of the nails struck him in the ey»?, the point penetrating the ball and injuring the lens. Dr. Carrow was summoned and thinks that it is very doubtful if he will be able to see again with this eye.

General Manager Ashley was in the city a few days since and these facts are attributed to his visit. By this proposition the company propose to bulldoze the corporation into removing the flagman. Not much.— Livingston Herdld. Every one that has had experience in the use of horses, knows what a sorry, perplexing time and money loseing job it is to care for them through a siege of distemper or epizootic. Edwin Arms had a lively experience caring for three, about a year ago and during the long, still cold nights that he hovered over the dim lantern, he conceived the idea that all infected animals should be quarantined and danger signals put up as iD case of small pox, etc. He button-holed our representative at Lansing and a bill was passed at the last session which makes it the duty of any person who has reason to think that any domestic animal belonging to him or that may come under his observation, is affectied with any contagious or infections disease, to immediately report to the local board of health or some member thereof and it is their duty to investigate the same. The bill is to long to be gone over here but may be found on page 44, public acts of 1^89. Any person knowingly driving, selling trading or keeping an infected animal without giving notice, may on conviction be fined to the amount of one hundred dollars, ninety days in jail, or both at the discretion of the court. — Green Oak Cor.

I Agricultural Colle t Affairs LA««INO, Dec. 13.—Preaideut Clute, who in May lust succeeded Prerfidert Willitt, who had resigned the pnevious ntonth, b.ts submitted his first aunual report to tho state board of agriculture. He pays high tribute to the -worth of his predecessor, and speaks highly of his assistants. He finds that the new horticultural laboratory, completed in March last, proves well adapted for the purpose for which it was built. The new proi»agating house is appro >ching completion, and promises to be satisfactory. It will be of great service to the professor in charge in te ching, and to the practical work of the gardens. It will be ready tor use in tbe spring-. He recommends winter work in the laboratory, because it can be pursued without interruption. He calls attention to the fact that tbe college exhibit, both at tbe state fair and the Detroit exposition, attracted much attention and exutteU surpriso by its excellence. The college is greatly indebted to Sena tor James McMiuun of Detroit, for tbe mod generous gift of « fence collection of butterflies and of beatles. Tbe butterflies irtoluae 8,00° species a&d 13.00W specimens. The beatles include 8,000 species and 40,000 spcimens. This gift is inore fully descrifled in tbe report of Prof. Cook, through whose interest in his department tbe gift was inspired. It is hoped that this kindly act of Senator McMillan is but * forerunner of m^ny other gifts frum patriotic BODS and daughters of Michigan, who would like to have ber state agricultural school thoroughly equipped in every respect Our college has now a valuable beginning in museum, cabinets aud library. And yet those who use these most,'that is the professors in different departments and the special students, nnd them by no means complete. Wo could use much fuller collections wifeb great profit to our students and to the general public. The most pressing need Is boeks for the library in the departments ef history, biography, travel, literature and philosophy, and he asta if there are no wealthy men in Michigan who would be glad to supply this need. President Clute calls especial attention to the great importance of the veterinary department; the necessity of greater care in the breeding of domestic animals, and declares tbat the veterinary course is to furnish a complete traiaingthat will tit the graduates of the coirse f.*r the practice of veterinary, medicine ond surgery.

INDIGNITIES TO AN EMPEROR. l)om Petlro nnd Family Very Un- Treated. v, Dec. 10. - It is learned that Dom •Pedro und his family were at his summer residence at Petropolis, near Kio Janeiro, when the revolution occurred. Upon learning vvh /t had happened he returned to Kio Janeiro and held a meeting of bis ministers and counwelersof state. He tried to forma U-JW ministry with Senor Sarawa at the head, but to this Gen. da Fonseca objected. Haying that a republic has beeq declared ana was supported b.v the mHitary: that the presence of the imperial family in Brazil was incompatible with the existing state of affairs and that they must leave the ocwintr.v. No communications were allowed to pass between Dom Pedro and tbe foreign representatives. At 2 0 clock the following morning Maj. Tompofsei, with a detachment of soldiers, went to 1 ho palace and placod the members of tho imperial family under arrest while they were still in bed. He bore written orders from Gen. da Fonseca that the emperor and his family Bhould embark forthwith. The government would not allow thein to wait until daylight, as they feared tbat any demonstration in the streets in favor of Dom Pedro might result in bloodshed. This measure was considered do.bly necessary as the students in the city were well supplied with arms, and were greatly exoitat. Count d'Ku and his wife, Princess IM», bel, and their children were compouid^1' leave tho palace at 3 0 clock Sunday aefft ing and w«tik to the quay.

One instant a ghastly terror Shot sudden her features o'er; The next, and she rose unclenching, And opened the fast-barred door. "Who be ye that seek admission ? Who cotaeth for food and rest? This night is a night above others To shelter a straying guest. > Deep out of the snowy silence A guttural answer broke: **I come from the great Three Rivers, lam Chief of the Koan-oke." Straight In through the frightened children, Unshrinking, the red man strode, And loosed on the blazing hearthstone. From his shoulder a light borne load; And out of the pile of deer-skins, With look as serene and mild As if it had been bis cradle, Stepped softly a little child. As he chafed at the fire his fingers, Closed pressed to the brawny knee, The gaze that the silent suvage Bent on him, was strange to sec. And then with a voice whose yearning The father could scarcely stem, He said—to the children pointing— "I want him to be like them! "They weep for the boy in the wigwam 1 bring him a moon of days, To learn of the speaking paper, To hear of th« wiser ways Of the people beyond the water, To break with the plow the sod,— To be kind to napoose and woman,— To pray to the white man's Uod." "I give thee my hand!" And the Lady Pressed forward with sudden cheer: "Thou shalt eat of my English pudding, And drink of my Christmas beer,— My sweethearts, this night remember, All strangers are kith and kin.

Forthwith from the congregation iiroke fiercely a suileu cry; "Out! out! with the crafty red-akin! //ave ul him.' A .<utj! A *fjy! And quickly from belts leaped dagger*, And swords from their sheaths flashed bare. And men from their seats defiant Sprang, ready to slay him there. But facing the crowd with courage As calm as a knight of yore, Stepped bravely the fair-browed woman, The thrust ot the steel before; And spake with a queenly gesture, Her hand on the Chief's brown breast, " Ye dare nut iin/jtach nnj honor! Ye dare not itusult tny y ' " They dropped at her word their weapon Half-shamed as tne Lady smiled, And told them the red man's story, And showed them the red man's child; And pledged them her broad plantations, That never would such betray Ttfe trust that a Christian woman, Had shown on a Christmas Day 1 IN THE TRENCHES. Grant's RelUh or Christmas Favors from Thoughtful Friend*. RANT was always mor e at hom e in camp s tha n courts;th e simple soldier's life suited him bette r tha n the etiquett e of Europe or even of Was h i n g ton . I n d e e d , the commande r of all th e armie s lived plaine r than man y of his subordinates , and I doub t if ther e was a headquarter , Nort h or South , durin g the war, where less formalit y prevailed . When Judge Campbell , th e Confederat e commis - sioner , came out from Richmon d in the winter of 18G4, he spen t some little while with Grant , at City Point , wait- The mess was well supplied with beef, canne d vegetables, condense d milk, coffee, rice, etc , but the cookin g could hard y be considere d delicate . In cam p we had soft bread, but on t lie marc h fell back on har d tack, like private soldiers. Chicken s were supplied in the season, and a few othe r such d untie.-* , but not regularly. At Christma s and Thanksgivin g some thoughtfu l patrio t at the nort h would send turkey s enoug h to go round , but I can' t remembe r cranberrie s or minc e pies. Ther e was never wine or spirits on his table in the field, nor was eithe r ever offered at his headquarter s in his presence . If any of his officers kept whisky it was in thei r own tents , and Gran t neithe r saw it nor shared it. Breakfast was rarely earlier tha n nin e and often as late as ten o'clock , for Gran t rose late whenever ther e was no need to rise early, and we always waited till he was ready to sit down. He hardl y ever went to bed till one or two o'cloc k in the morning , and therefor e liked his pillow even if it was hard , lie often used to say* tha t he was an indolen t man , and I thin k Vie was, naturally . His temper - amen t was phlegmatic , if not sluggish; certainl y he was disincline d to exertion after he was forty years of age. After the midnigh t inarc h tha t followed the battl e of th e Wilderness, wo halte d townr d mornin g at Todd' s Tavern where Sherida n had fought the day before, Gran t slept on a rough, bed in th e tavern , and his staff in the porch , or on the (loor, <or on the groun d outside ; Horac e I'orteran d 1 on some board s in a pig-pen . Often 1 have known Gran t to lie on the groun d with his saddle for a pillow. After the: battle of Champion' s Hill in th e Vicksburg campaig n he slept in the porc h of a farm-hous e occupie d within as a Confederat e hospital , and all night he could hea r the groan s of his wounde d '©'• ' lnff 0 * permission to proceed further. i i i •afresse d great astonishment at tto iMplicity he saw. It was far different, he said, from the ceremony that Lee maintained. But Grant never entirely laid aside the habit* and tastes of his early life; he was, indeed, never coarse or vulgar, but he remained a plain man to the end. His dress in camp was inconspicuous; his coat seldom buttoned up to the throat, and often unbruahed, even in battle, a?d during many campaigns he wore a private soldier's overcoat ^ His tent was as plain as that of a captain; a little larger than those of his staff, because be sometimes wasted to invite important generals into it to discuss his i enemies. After the first day's fight at Shlloh he lay at first under a tree, but the rain was furious and he went into a field hospital for shelter, and fell asleep with the surgeons operating around him. It was fortunate that he was not high strung or nervous. Yet he was not indifferent to human suffering. I have Known him leave a hurdle- race because he did not wish to look on life unnecessarily risked. though , when ther e was need, he could witness slaughter , or orde r it, unmov - ed. In th e marc h from Cold Harbo r to the Jame s river th e headquarter s wagons got behin d and Gran t and his staff bad been all day withou t food. We halte d toward night , but th e train was still behind . Some one produce d some gingerbrea d (it must have been taken from a farm-hous e on the road) , and thi s was all th e supper we had; but we munche d it unde r th e trees, thinkin g ourselves lucky indeed , but Gran t smoked his cigar and decline d the .gingerbread . On the mornin g after tha t night at Todd' s Tavern we were breakfrtstless. Officers are worse off tha n men when the wagons are behind , and staff officers are mor e absolutely destitut e tha n regimenta l officers, for these (can borro w from the kettle s of thei r men , but I shared tlie coffee of my orderly, and found it so good tha t I offered a cup to Gran t He smacked his lips over it, and soaked a hard biscuit in the tin cup, and this was all he got till late in th e day we reache d our next cam p in front of Spottsyiv.-nia . Grant' s own servant, of course , had a great idea of his master' s consequence , and when Rober t Lincoln , then just twenty-one , joined tn e staff fora mont h or two. before the end of the war, a knott y poin t of precedenc e arose between his man and Grant's . Lincoln' s servant said his maste r was th e president' s son and th e presiden t could give order s even to General Grant , while the othe r fellow insisted tha t as Lincoln was only a captai n <ind unde r the order s of Grant ; th e general' s servant must be greate r tha n the captain's . The questio n might have occasione d discussion amon g the lord chamber - lains whom Gran t afterward used to meet at Europea n courts . When Presiden t Lincol n himself visited City Poin t ho took as little pom p wfth him as the general-in-chief . He arrived unannounced , and leaving the stenme r at the foot of the bluff, climbed up th e bank alone . Th e sentine l did not know him, and the taH , ungainly civilian in black clothe s and a high stiff hat was stoppe d like any oth - er intruder . The soldier took him for a sutler or a sanitar y commissioner . Jt was a minut e or two before an officer could be found who recognize d the president , and ushere d him in to Grant . The ton e of talk at Grant' s head - quarter s was as familiar as the style uf living. Several of the men who had been longest with Gran t were plaine r than himself"1 in the habit s and tastes. Rawlins, the ablest of all, had been a charcoa l burne r and thoug h of course a man of marke d energy, and able to hold his own in conversatio n with the most competent , was at time s decidedl y uncout h in language. Gran t himself was never profan e in speech, but Rawlins was habituall y and exceedingly so. He was profoundl y attache d to Grant , but did not always display the same respect in manne r or language which the other s maintained , (iraii t pardone d this because he knew ther e was no intentio n of disrespect , and because he valued Hawlins' s regard and services. He always joined the circle aroun d the camp-tir e at night , and his presenc e scemi".1 no restraint , except that , because of his own purit y of conversation , no one ever told, while/i e was by, the sort of stories tha t are often commo n aroun d camp-fires . Grant' s purit y indee d was not confine d to language. In ^H my intimac y with him of twent y years, in camp , at Washington , or abroad , 1 never saw the slighte>t indicatio n of irregularit y ot life in regard to women. 1 opene d all his letter s for years, and not one. was ever1 addressed to him tha t intimate d a lapse or threatene d a disclosure . ADAM IJADKAI: . LOOSESEXTRACT Thp Old Country Deacon. You have met the old man of the village who, having been all his life a devoted churc h membe r and having been a deaco n and a membe r of the counci l of the churc h and all tha t sort of thing , has gradually grown into such familiar relation s with the creato r tha t he advises him every mornin g what to do about the weather , and about the village, and about the government . Ther e is a beauty, after all, about his egotism. It is at least honest , and if he perhap s overrate s his influence with the divine ruler it is because he is consciou s of having led an upright life. He doubt s the chanc e even of the ministe r in the matte r of heaven , but he has no doubt of his own election . "Uncle, " said his niece one day, "are you quit e sure you are going to heaven? " "Sure! Why, my dear child, 1 am just as certai n of it as tha t 1 am sittin g here!" "And about aunt? " "Well, well, my child, I hop e so, but I'm not at all sure abou t her. — San Fraucisc o Chronicle . Rare Old Book*. Among the curiosities to be found in the Minnesota State Law Library are two volumes of the colonial laws of Massachusetts, 1760 to 1772. They are. of course, reprints, but "ye olden style" has beon faithfully reproduced. The code of laws in vogue in those provincial days was truly very crude, ft was then that the whipping post was resorted to as a mode of punishment, but it is stipulated that "no man shall be beaten with above forty stripes, nor shall any truo gentleman, no.r any man equal to a gentleman, be punished by whipping unless his crime be very shamelul and his course of life vicious and profligate." Again the code says: "If any man shall Blaspheme the name of god, the father, Sonne or Holy ghost, with direct, expresse, presumptuous or high handed blasphemie, or shall curse God in the like Banner, he shall be put to death.*1 Caacw*, Rumors, 8ore«, Ulcer*, , Tumor*, Abaceaaca.

Just so with a paper—it has a>. mission and to be worthy of the patronage of the people—it must do its duty in exposing wrong and upholding good.

Henderson, Whose name was prominently men* itioned in connection with the speaker- |ship of tbe house of the present loongress, was born in Scotland 'in 1840. His family came to this country when David was still a child and settled in Iowa. He received & food education ia the common schools and at the Upper Iowa university. He afterwards read law and was admitted to the bar in the fall of 1865, the civil war interfering- with his plans. He lost a leg in 1863 and was discharged from the army. He re-entered the service a year later as colonel of the Forty-sixth Jowa volunteers and fought gallantly, crippled as he was, until the close of the war. Athletic sports, if indulged in judiciously, are to be commended, but when from the ruflianly practices that too often degrade them into mere exhibitions of brute force, there is danger to life and limb, they cannot be too severely denounced. An instance in point was the game of foot-ball in New York a short time aero between the clubs of Yale and Princeton colleges in which several of the players received severe injuries from-the brutality of their fellows. Grant that these games are necessary for the equal or co-ordinate development of mind and muscle, which is a widely received idea we have received from the ancients, there can certainly be no defense for carrying muscular development to such an extreme. Football, which is at present taking precedence of all others in our colleges, as it haB long held the first place among the college games in England, is a most vigorous exercise, calling for all the energy and activity at the command of the participants, but the muscular effort should be directed by a discreet judgment, and not exercised as mere brute force. There is neeJ of better discipline in this particular but it may not be Beoured until a few college boys have been killed by their more ferocious fellowa. Bessie Grevers of Haverhill.

ROMANCE OF THE WAR. Mm Otn. Piokett Tells Sow She Joined the Blue and the Gray. An Stile ia Caaada, and a Pathetic Struggle for Brtad—A School-Mara'• Test ia Latia, and How It Secured a Fl&ee. In the United States pension office there is a lady employe—a first-class clerk—whose history is not only exceptionally interesting, but in a sense nationally so—for to her belong* the honor of bringing about the union of the blue and the gray who survived the late war of the rebellion. Tbe first interest attaches to her us the widow of the late confederate general, George Fickett. whose bravery aud manliness both aides concede. All mankind—and we grant at once that they only are judges of what constitute womanly beauty—consider Mrs. Pickelt a beautiful woman. She is hbove medium height, and she is still In her early forties, and as charming as when she became a bride at fifteen, with that additional grace of manner which comes only with maturity aud experience. Oo a recent occasion Mrs. Pickett was persuaded by the writer to go into the details of the fact so often stated, that after the close of the war Gen. Pickett and wife sought safety from possible arrest for treason by aa incognito residence in Canada. She said: "As I told you once before, I was only fifteen when I was married. My home was in the possession of the Yankees. My lover was on the other side—Gen. Pickett Our wedding day was at hand, and he could not come for me, but he managed to communicate with me. All stratagems are fair in love and war. My family got permission to go through the lines, and Gen. Pickett with a guard came as far on tho way to meet me as he dared. We met half way, and were married at Petersburg. Wo went at once into the field, and I must say I was happier in the midst of 'war's alarms' than I was whea at home with absence and anxiety for companions. "I was as arrant a little rebel as the south ever provided. 1 did not believe a Yankee could be as refined and intelligent a gentleman as those on our side; nor did I think them as well educated or as brave. I would scarcely look at one, much less shake hands. All this amused my husband, for he was educated at West Point, was a cosmopolitan, and looked upon my opinions as the ill-formed ideas of a mere girl. A change in my sentiments came about after the war in this wise. We had become self-imposed exiles, because we supposed all the active participants, such as officers, would be punished,, for treason. Wo fled to Canada tindor my husband's mother's family name of Edwards', and we wore us poor and obscure as church mice. Well', after various vieisitude.s, and remaining there a year and a half, Gen. Grant heard of our case and he telegraphed to Gen. Pickett that he could return to the states, aa the "terms of the surrender would be carried out.1 We returned to Now York and a reception was given to my husband sSjjrfrjftf* comrades in the city, and so many" Union officers came to see us and treated us so kindly, were so well educated, so refined, I was heartily ashamed of my former estimate of a Yankee, especially after Gen. Grant offered to make my husband marshal of Virginia. "Returning to our Canadian experience as I said, we were without any resources. Our home, our country, our cause, each was lost I was only sixteen and one-half years old, and I felt our situation deeply. I had a youngchild, a voice and a tolerable education. These last I looked upon as capital. My husband could not get enough, to do to support us. One day I saw sin advertisement in a daily paper for a school teacher. Being a graduate of Lynchburg Female College, I presented myself us a candidate. An old Scotch servant admitted me, and conducted me up stairs to the principal. She turned me over to him a9 a Miss who thinks she can teach school. His first question was to ask me if I could read Latin. On being assurod. that I could, he proceeded with my examination right before tho school, and I answered questions, or finished questions which he began. Finally ho wrote on the blackboard, 'President Lincoln says nobody is hurt' Quick as a flash I wrote, and as quickly erased, 'Hut somebody was.1 lio (Jjfonod and clasped my hand and saidr 'Madam, you have passed the ordeal, the situation is yours.' I filled it for six months, when wo felt free to return to tho states by tho assurance of (Jon. Grant's recitll. Even now I can not recall my experiences* without mingled emotions. They were pathetic, and yet, in some respects, at this distance of time, I can laugh at them. "Yes, I bave seen a great variety of life—had at manj upe and downs aa the heroine of a romance; but I waa most touched by my reception at Gettysburg* July 4, 1887, when the soldiers' monument was dedicated, and the Blue and the Gray veterans met there. My husband's old comrades, and ihe courtesies shown me by the Pennsylvania troop* obliterated all bitterness of feeling, aud I now feel that for me there is no North, nor South, but my country and my countrymen, as all are equally brave and generous.'1 POPULAR SCIENCE. The electric lights on Eiffel Tower can be seen at Orleans, seveuty miles distant An electric spark has been photographed by means of a special camera, in which tho sensitive plate rotated at, it is said, a velocity of 2.- 500 revolutions a minute. A German authority affirms that oaks are more frequently . struck by lightning than beeches, because the leaves of the beech are covered with a tine down which is a better conductor of electricity than the smooth leaves of the oak. Experiments with electrical machines confirm the theory. {Strangers traveling through or sojourning in districts known to be abounding in malarial fevers and arg-ue, aays Medical Classics, should dress in flannel clothing, avoid fruits, open-air bathing and night air, and drink tea and coffee, or only water that has been previously boiled. Crushed slag is said to be greatly superior to dry earth us an absorbing and deodorizing material for earth closets, both on account of its extreme porosity, which makes the use of a smaller quantity possible, and from its value as a fertilizer, which is vastly increased by using it for the purpose suggested. It is also cheap and plentiful. Human life is estimated to have lengthened tweatv-ti vo per cent, during the last half-century.

It is said that the origin of washing the hands before eating arose from the fact that food at first waa eaten wholly—all around the table dipping into one dish —with the hands. Now, with the finger bowl, an ablution ends as well as precedes the meal.

There is a faith cure not often considered, but which is in operation and quite as effective in its work aa that practiced by professional "healers" or "metaphysicians." It is the euro brought or assisted by the patient's faith in his doctor. Every physician knows the desirability of inspiring this feeling, and the best methods of establishing this confidence in" persons under his treatment are made matters of professional study. It is only in part a question of medical skill. He may be recognized as a man of great knowledge and ability, and m;iy lack that one essen tial characteristic that makes him welcome in every household. The possession of this quality is largely a matter of temperament and it's usefulness is hardly recognized by the fortunate practitioner, though he may conscientiously cultivate it through knowledge of the fact thut cheerfulness is better than gloom in all the relations of life. It is the gospel of cheerfulness that this m;m unconsciously teaches, not the aggressive gayety and unsympathetic jocularity that is an offense to an invalid and his friends, but a brightness of spirit that makes glad all who meet him.—Indianapolis Journal. The Wicked Compositor. The Pittsburgh Dispatch is pained to see that the typographical error hns been getting in its fiendish work on its religious contemporaries, one clerical editor tried to say that a prominent clergyman was tho "Barnabas of the Baptists," but the unregenerated compositor made it "Barraban;" while dnother who intended to declare that no 'Protestant Episcopal Bishop "has any sense of humor," was horrifiod to find that he had accusoil those prominent yp.ntlomen of beiuof without "any sense of honor." Under those circumstances tho religious editors would bo justified in visiting upon tho compositors tho pains and pt-naltios of excommunication. But tho uncomfortable fact remainB that the compositors would not care a snap for that. jf LOOSE'S E Caocatt, Ramon, Sorn, Ulcer*. * , Tumor*, Abscesses, Blood Poisoning, Salt Kb earn.

Must be Built Up by Irishmen. _ i delivered a sptech ia Notiingf «w day* affo, in reply to the addreas _jrd Baiiibury. Be declared that there had «ever been * B»Teneui of tuoh xna^uitude in the couotr/, which was so comparatively free from crime, as the land league movement. The object of the home rule movement, he •aid, was to regenerate Ireland, especially witk regard to her industrial condition. Continuing. Mr. Parneil said that manufactures might be developed to such an extoat as to take the strain off the land and enable tbe people to look to other aeaas than farming for gaining a living, fcut the idea was not tenable that Ireland ild be governed by England promoting 1 industries. Irishmen themselves must remote Irish induitries, by building harrs, cleaning out tbe channels of rivers and reclaiming waste lands, net at tbe expense ef the English exchequer, b.ut of the Irian exchequer, or, best of all, through the efforts of local and individual enterprise and with private capital. Mr. Buifour's plan of making railways through impoverished distriola was a vain expenditure of money. Home rule aimed at Naflonal re-generation, and this implied the regeneration of industries aad the Indus* trial and commercial spirit of the people. If home rule were granted it would not dis- •cqura»e the rich people of England from prometing industrial developments, but the money would be Judiciously aad advantagecoaly employed instead of being wasted, as now, to maintain in power a government of fraud and trickery. Expenditure of thut sort would enable Ireland to get and keep her head above water and to so exercise And develop the qualities of her people that she would be no longer an exhibition for tbe wonder and scorn of the nations of tbe world. Mr. Parnell would not suy that It would 'be impossible to govern Ireland by coercion, but Halfour's mixture of coercion and constitutionality would never succeed. Mr. Balfour had made several mistakes; among them was ta.it he had neglected to^provide for the arrears of rent and the restitution •of evicted recants. This had led to the formation of a new agrarian movement which would sweep Balfour and his props away as chaff is swept before the whirl- -wind. If the government had nothing to be ashamed of in its connection with the Times doubtless it would gratify curiosity by making known the truth about that matit «r. The country wanted to know how far tse government had gone in a •course so mean and so thoroughly contrary to the English spirit as to attack men from ambush and by the use of such disreputable instruments. He knew the .letters were forgeries, but he would rather hare died than have accepted the vindication the government offered him. The i*arneU commission, instead of trying the personal indictment hud tried the Irish nation and the movement of the Irish party. Mr. Parnell declares that all talk about a Protestant minority being animated by a ••pirit of hostility to «n Irish parliament and opposing it, or Catholics oppressing ProteBtants ts fallacious. He further declares that the modified home rule, HS proposed >by Mr. Gladstone, is preferable to Urattan's scheme, which contained several elements of friction. THEY MEAN BUSINESS. A National Convention of Colored People Called. One of the most important moves the colored people Imve taken in a long time in advocacy of their rights is about coming to the surface. A national coaveatiou has been called to be held in Washington the iirst Monday in February, for the purpose -of takiuir some actiou to remedy their wrongs and obtain the exercise of nil political aud civil rights aud privileges by colored Americau citizens as are guaranteed them by tho constitution and laws of the United States. The objects to be attained by this couveutiou are; 1. To orgaui/.o a national association of •colored American citizens by which a united and continuous effort ah,ill be made to relieve them from the personal outrages indicted upon them in tho southern states and to obtain all the rights of American citizens now denied them in parts of the -country. 2. To ascertain the opposing influences that retard the growth of their educational, moral and material interest*. 3. To invoke congress to pass such legislation us will enable the colored Auiericuns to exercise the right of franchise in tho southern stales without feur of molestation; to pa«H a bill to pay tho depositors of tho Froedman's bank in full for their •deposits. The colored clergy in Washington -and other cities have indorsed the scheme, aud this aeutuneut extends over the whoie country. The matter is deemed of such importance to the colored prople that instructions have been sent to all prominent people of that race throughout the country to leave no stone unturned that will tend in any way to accomplish the desired object. Mr. Pledger of Georgia i:dvises the colored people not to permit themselves to be enumerated by4>he census takers in 18'.M), but to "tut£e to the woods" when they come round. His argument is, that as the colored people ure not allowed to vote in the south, they are now unjustly counted as voters in mukfrug up the number of cougressmen allotted to the south, and if they strould not bo counted in the next census the congressional representation of the south iu the new apportionment would be reduced to its proper dimensions.

Fletcher in tbe New York Home Journal, ii produced by tbe eider duok, •A inhabitant of the Arotio ocean. It Is proper to oaij these birds inhabitants of the ocean, for they pane the greater part of their lives far out at •en, only coming to land a little while in spring for ta* purpose of layiug aad batching their ojjfga- They are very awkward on land, but are wonderful Bwimmera and divers, descending twelve fathoms below the surface of the water aad remaining submerged as long as five minutes at a time. Their food conaiuto principally ef moUuska, which they pick up from the bed of the sea. Their favorite laying places are^ertaln small, low islands off the coast of Norway, which are called "eiderkoima." The birds yisit these Islands in pairs, which present a striking contrast in appearance, the drakes being brilliantly colored in black, white, and green, while the females are of a dull reddish brown, matching the color of the •canty regetation so perfectly that even a practiced hunter can hardly discover them when, they crouoh down among the reeds. On coming ashore the duck proceeds yery deliberately to choose a place for a nest, while the drake follows and occasionally gives warning of real or fancied danger. The duck is .very hard to suit, and it is not an unusual thing for her, after examining all likely spots out of doors, to march boldly into a house and cooly select what she considers a suitable place for her nest, such as the oven if it happens to be unused at the time. The human inmates of the house welcome her gladly, supply her with food, and cheerfully submit to any small inconveniences like the temporary loss of their oven, for they know that their guest will pay a good price for her board and lodging. When tho duck has selected a place she gathers grass and sticks and builds her nest Then she plucks the soft down from her breafet and makes a wonderful mat, which not only covers the bottom of the nest but rises so far above the edge that it rain be folded over the eggs when the duck loaves the nest in •earch ot food. When^the six or eight eggs nre liud they are seized, together with the valuable eide--down mat, by the people of the house, and the duck goes off in sorrow to her mate, who awaits her on the shore, as his courage never rises to such a pitch us to lead him into the house. She Ii Wickeder Than 8,000 Bad Men. Burmese women are treated well in the family, and they are the equals of the men in family affairs,* BO says a writer in Bow Bell*. They have their say in all business matters, nnd the only place in which their inferiority is noticeable is in religion. The Burmese are Buddhists, and a Buddhist woman has no chance to go to heaven, save, by her soul" at death passing into the body of a man. If she is wonderfully pious in this life such a transmigration may take place, and I note that the chief worshipers at the pagodas here are women. Buddhist teachers put women much lower in tho scale of morality than men, and they maintain that the sins of one woman are equal to the sins of 8,000 of tho worst men that ever lived. There are about 200,000,000 women in the^world. and none of those havo any ottior hope of immortality than this. Nevertheless, I am told that the Burmese women aro more honest than the mefl and that their business promises are to be trusted. They are not educated as a rule, and it is only lately that there have been schools iu Burmah for women. FOKEIGX. Spain refus-.es to entertain any proposition for the sale of Cuba.

BSNNBTT, Publisher, De«mber 26, Friend* of the DISPATCH having buxiness at the PVobate Court, will pliase request Judge Fishbeck to send their pr nting to this office* The theory that this is a Christian Government, or can become such by the methods which some theologian! are now advocating, receives the following hard comments from a writer in-the Union Signal:— An exchange says: If the membership of the Patron8 of Industry remain at 75,000 in this state, there will be fat in it for somebody. At that figure the annual dues will amouni to about $15,000 per year, and besides this each of the 1,000 or more lodges send §3 to headquartsrs for a charter, and each member institiated after a lodge is instituted has to drop- $1 into the hat. Probably half of the 75,000 Patrons are charters member, to be liberal, which makes $37,500 from this little item alone. Further, the supreme rulers of the roost furnish ail the blanks and stationery for each lodge, which must also be something of a snap, so that it would be of interest to the humble Patrons wno put up the uoodle to know what becomes of this grand aggregation of about $100,000 per annum. No man can be a consistent member of the Catholic church any longer and in any way be friendly to the saloon. The position of that church on the liquor question w&a si early de fanned at a mass meeting at Baltimore recently^and no mau doubts that much good will come of it. Archbishop Iseland voices the sentiment of the meeting as follows: "The position of the Catholio church on temperance and other social questions has been clearly stated in the Catholifif lay congress held in Baltimore. The corru|jt;ng influence of saloons in politics, the crime of pauperism resulting from excessive drinking, requires legislative restriction, which we can aid in procuring by joining our influence with that of the other enemies of intemperance. The Catholio Church is absolutely and irrevocably opposed to drunkeness and to drunkard-making. In vain we confess to work for souls if we do not labor to drive out, an evil which 18'daily begetting sins by the ten thousand an'd weopling hell, in vain we boast of civilization and liberty if we do not labor to exterminate intemperance. Education, the elevatingof the masses, liberty, all that age admires, is set at naught by this dreadful evil- The individual conseience is the first aim in opposing it; but the individual conscience has to b* strengthened and supplcmentod by law. The claim of saloonkeepers to freedom in their traffic is the claim to spread disease, Kin, pauperism Stockbridge Sun. I want to put before you a few questions, and I hope that you will Constitution." Would that make it a Christian Government?—No, verily. When then? When God is honored and obeyed* and the high moral welfare of the people is oared for by. the Government, then it may be claimed to be a one, not till than. And that time will never come, because it is not in the power of the Government to deal with the "high moral welfare" of its people, that being a matter which concerns the heart, and not the out word deportment. Civil government has control over the worship of God, but it is left for the gospel to work that change of heart which promotes an individual's moral welfare; and the freer the gospal is left in its appointed sphere of action, the more effectually will do its work. The Government which allows1 the latter that perfect freedom of earthly ministration which its author intended for it, has gone as far toward liecoming a Christian government as it is possible lor it to go.

EDITOK PINCJCNBY DISPATCH: Before leaving Michigan T prom iaed that I would .write you on my arrival here and give you my idea of this country.* I am not certain that I can write you anything that will interest you or your readers, but it you should consider it worth notice, you can give it a place it in your paper. In the first place, I would say that I am well pleased with my exchange. 1 have a very fine place of 320 acres, a good house, plenty of good water, withiu ten minutes walk of the town, (the town being the county seat,) with two good railroads, and more coming. We havo four banks, four churches, four sohools, and a very lively place. We find the best of neighbors, well educated, and good society, as far as I have been able to burn. A great many graduates have come to this country and attempted to farm it; many have farmed but very little. When they first saw these beautiful plains they thought that all they had to do was to get the land plowed and throw tLe seed onto the ground, then the money would roll in by the bushel. It would seem that this wus the case a few years ago, for many got as high as 25 aud 80 bushels of wheat to the acre, and I have heard several say that they received 50 bushels. Now,sorae may doubt this statement, but I have no reason to doubt it, for the soil is very rich and the season was just right. As near as I can learn the average crop of wheat has been as good here as in Michigan until the past season, when the crop was neatly, and in some instances a total failure. Those who done their work well raised enough to live on, and that is as well as many have done in your state. Wheat has been the staple crop of ihis country, and nearly all depending upon that one commodity for niisiticr money have rondo, ir failure, mid for that reason cm>o the country, and would like to soil or trade and yo elsewhere; they don't care where, only so that they ciin gt't awny from hard times. I imagine if theat* people <^o to Michigan and plant, their corn and sow their wheat without plowing the ground and only going over it once or twiee with a cultivator, that the s;unii hard times will continue with them there that they had here. 1 have been surprised many times while here in talking with fanners about plowing. But very few of them have ever seen a jointer on a plow, and they never use a wheel exeept in breaking up. If they break two, three or four inches deep then they take their stirring plow (which wo call a cross or stubble plow) and make it run the proper depth without a. wheel, and then go ahead. Tlujy plow just as deep as the land hftS been broken, if it is two, three or four inches, year after year, and from sixteen to twenty-four inches wide, and use a plow not capable of cutting over fourteen inches and do a good job. Nearly everybody claims that it does not make any difference here whether the work is well done or half done, the result will be the same. Their a^nment may be all right, but I am confident that it would not do in Michigan, Why should it do in Dakota? As near as I can learn by the observations I have bc»n able to make in the short time that I have been.here,and by talking with the farmers generally, 1 find that any thing that grows in Michigan will QTOW here with less labor and more abundantly than it does there with the exception of fruit. Small fruit does equally as wellhcre as there, and I am of the opinion that apples and cherries will be all right by getting hardy varieties. The climate is said to be the very best. I have talked with men from Michigan, Canada, New York, Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin, and they all claim that this beats them all year through. My has been very fair; we have not had any winter yet. I t has been the most beautiful fall tba£ I have ever pawed, only three or lour cold or windy days. Stock of all kinds ate still runing out and getting their living and doing well, sheep are fat and no grain reqired, the natural graas being very nourishing. I loot for some very cold weather before long , but it can't last long, for they often sow wheat here about the first of March. Now it has been a great wonderment to many of ray friends why people are anxious to trade their land here for land in Michigan. There is only one reason that I can give, and I believe tbat I am correct in my reasoning. They are mostly men who come here expecting to make a fortune in a few years by raising wheat. If the seasons bad continued the same as they were six or seven years ago, land would have been worth more here to-day than it is in Michigan, but the seasons have changed. They have had three dry seasons, but liot a failure until last season, and that has done the finishing work. I believe now is the titne if a man wants to get a home and get it cheap, for if next season is favorable and we get good crops here, this land will thribble in value. The people here are mostly young, they expect to make a fortune in a few years and go back east with more money than their fatners had been able to make in a life time. Because they have not done it they are homesick, and many will sell or trade for what they can get, expecting that when they get back east good times will come to them without much effort. For me, I am pleased with Dakota. I have come to stay. Now, if any of my friends or acquaintances would like to have me help them to exchange for property here, I-1 will be glad to resist tliem. In writing me, if you wish to exchangee land there for land here, state \rhere your land is, how much there is against it, if any, how much ITKI you would like to get here, etc. Give a fair description of you? buildin «rsaud iinprovments on your farm. Tan get you any kind of a farm horo that you wish. Any of my acquaintances coming to this couutry I should be pleased to have them give me a call and Iwill assist them if I can. I think that I am located in as fine a locality as there is in the state, being about the center. A letter will reach me addressed, DAVID ROBERTS. Fanlkton, South Dakota. Bucklen's Arnica Sa'Te.

In thi s flood of bills Michiga n men rode on th e crest of the waves. Gen . Cutcheo n had his pocket full of militar y bills. Could the Genera l have his way be would relieve the regular army of superfluou s officers by sendin g from the limited to the unlimite d retire d list all officers who have reache d the age of 64. He would also have the office ot assistant secretar y of war create d India n fighters; entitle d to brevets, and a militar y an d naval museu m at Washington . H e wonts all men who enlisted in ltkil-2, and who were promote d or discharge d for sickness contracte d in the service, to have the remaining |75 of thei r bounty , and think s ther e is a great need of modifyin g the pension laws, and tha t the bills he has intro - duced will bring about all these changes . Representativ e Alle*n believes tha t when a soldier underwen t a medica l examinatio n at th e time of his enlistmen t and served tiU days, tha t should be prirna faa* evidenc e tha t he was physically sound when he en lUied , and be taken lor grante d upon hl» applicatio n for a pension,.an d his bill is intende d to make it so. Mr. Brewer was on han d with a score of private bills, and presente d a bill asking for one cent postage, a committe e on the alcoholi c liquor traffic, a lour years tenur e of office for postmasters , collectors , etc. ; und a provision for the relief of the Michiga n militar y academ y for loss of governsien t arm s by tire. Representativ e Allen has Introduce d a very importan t pension measure , ltm.ke s the fact of enlistmen t and service for 00 days afterward conclusive proof as the physical soundnes s of a soldier at th e tim e of enlistment . The list presente d by Representativ e Bliss embruce s a numbe r of private bills: to allow re-ratin g in certai n pension cases, and to correc t certai n irregularitie s in the pension laws.

The special house committe e investigating the Silcot t defalcatio n has agreed upon a repor t by the term s of which an appropri - ation will be lisked to make good the losses sustaine d by the member s of the house.

The committe e appointe d to investigate the conditio n of allairs in the otllce of the sergeant-at-arm s in general, and Silcott' s rascalitie s in particular , is hur d at work. Considerabl e testimon y hfis alread y been taken , and tha t of a very damagin g charac - ter. The note s which Silcot t is accused of h iving forged «nd afterward s taken up at the Metropolita n Nationa l b.ink uumbe r ttf>, the sums name d in them aggregatiug about 4i;\00D . The statuB of the sergesit-at-arm s is a stumb.lin g block, of no mean proportion s to a thoroug h examination . One xuombor of the committe e says tha t if It is decide d tha t the sergeant-at-arm s ia a disbursin g officer, then a serious question at once arises as to how the individua l deposit s and accumu - lated salaries of the mumuer a are to be regarded ; while if it is held tha t the serge& nt-at-arm s is not a disbursin g officer, the n the exten t of his agency and othe r vexatious question s must be at once settled. Tlie development s alread y made show an astonishin g looseness in the financial transaction s of the oiiice. The testimon y alread y taken by the committe e shows tha t Leedom simply neglecte d the financial affairs of the office, leaving everythin g to Silcott . The evidenc e shows thu t Mr. Leedom neglecte d to coun t his cash and atten d to the financial affairs of the office. He is severely criticise d for this, and for the practic e he hi<d of allowing member s to discoun t note s on thei r salnries before they were due, und 111 man y cases allowing member s to overdra w thei r salaries. Is is also alleged tha t both Loedom and Silcot t were Jondo f attendin g the races and betting , and that , Leedoin know of this habit of his cashier and of the fast life he was leading. It is indefinit e when th e committe e will finish the work. It is propose d by the committe e tha t the matte r be sent to the Cour t of Claim s for adjustment , und tha t the action of the house in tno matte r of reimbursin g the member s be guided by the decision of the court , and this course may be adopte d us the most expeditiou s way of settlin g the matter . < Supt .

Gen. Alger has written Representat Cutcheon und Superintendent Por ing their.attention to the advisal enlarging the scope of the eaumf soldiers in the census.

The new extradition treaty with Eng land, drafted by Secretary Blulne and the British minister, has been sent to the senate.

' • » < . 1 \ NGEB100S CLERGYMAN, #4 twi days on the Indian 1% r u irtrm there, for it v a i th of August; but it wai a to what wo experienced during th« week in the Bed tea which followed. Capt Hare was a*tremendous disciplinarian. 1 never heard him utter ft word, save to give an order, to any Of hii officer* They would come to the conclusion of each watch, he following apparently idiotic tion would take place: In eight bells, sir." well, Mr. Smith,11 or whatever the officer's name might be, "then make it «o." And then the officer would touch his hat to the captain, and I suppose it did make it so. The great function of the day was the heaving of the log, and we used to jwatch this ceremony with simulated interest. We petted the captain's tame who would rub his velvet muz* le against us and gaze up at us with beautiful oyes in Beurch of eleeosynary biscuit; and we were very attentive to "Grimes." "Grimes'1 was a creature apart; a weird being of strange and unearthly appearance, who pervaded the vessel The* fact was t^tfeat "Grimes" was a rare species of *4l§mur. He was the size of a very new V jy fcaby, and his face was that of tho old "'"'$f&V*-tilan of the sea. His oyes were a " •"•'-Wight yellow and sparkled like cairngorms. The eyes were very intolerant of light and the animal slept the greater part of the day, and when uwake he blinked like an owl, but at night his activity was preternatural, far exceeding that of the monkey. He would cling to the captain, emitting gentle moans of affectation, and staring round an affrighted manner with his yellow es. He wus the picture of helplessness he hung to the ciptuin's neck with or both arms, occasionally extenda very human-looking hand for a fruit or a biscuit ''Grimes," who weighed some 13 pounds, when loose was H different animal. And so we passed our days and the long hot nights, ^ind were very glad, inoeed, when wo off steam for & twonfcy-four hours1 i . We went into the groat cafo of the Emperors, and with tho exception of a couple of Rock Scorpions—who breakfasted there, and afterward quarreled a9 to who should pay for the breakfast—we were the only guests. "Well, gentlemen,11 said Cupk Hare, triumphantly, "you insisted on coming ashore, and now I hopo you are satisfied. I tell you tho peoplo here aro all the same. They live upon the passengers of the big njaii steamers; they succeed in robbing them in some way or other, and thoy get drunk and sleep until the arrival of tho' next batch of victims. Why, you wouldn't know this place at night; but the Arbaces is expected hero this evening, and thon if you want to see pandemonium broke loose, you can come and sea it here.11 I called tho waiter and paid, him 4 franca for tho atrocious lemonade which consumod. if there is a class of men who in the study of bad society it is en; and to missionaries partbe wicked are dear as the f their eye*. W N, U . "Yee'l see no objection to our coming ashore this evening, Capt Hare? 1% will propably be an experience ch ought not to be missed.11 chimed in with Rev. Archibald , for seven teen days of the Inand Red Sea had made me >rJi£8ipatlon and hi^h jinks of anything was preferadummy whist on "You'll have to flutter,' parson/ remarked the captain, **if you come ashore.1' For all objectionable Suez aAd tbelr still more objectionable wives show up bere for the express purpose ol "fluttering/* "Do you mean that I shall be compelled to dance, Capt Hare?'1 "No» you won't have to dance unless you like, but you'll have to gamble." "Rather than miss a unique experience I'm even prepared to do that" replied the missionary. "There is no crime In it if one in determined not to win, aud one is only present professionally." "You need have no scruples on the subject of winning; nobody haa ever been known to do that here. They cheat quite openly, and if anything is left when you are going abroad, the interesting aborigines with their knobsticks are quite ready to murder you for i t " We went aboard again and got through the afternoon as best we could. While we were at dinner tho great P. and O. steamer (the ArbaeesJ dropped her anchor close alongside. We sat and smoked, and at 9 Capt Hare's neat gig, manned by ita six smart red-shirted lascars, took us across the 150 yards of muddy water which lay between us and the adjacent wharf. The captain, the»missionary and I walked over to the cafe of the Two Emperors, which wasn't 500 yards off. Capt Hare was quite right when he said that they woke up in Suez on iho arrival of a mail Bteamer. The whole place was brilliantly illuminated by a profusion of strongly smelling paraffine lamps, the cafe of the Two Emperors was crowded with Turks, Jews, infidels aud heretics. But all this was merely subsidiary to the real business of the evening, which was evidently gambling. There was a big faro table in one corner; a largo crowd surrounded the roulette table; baccarat was in full swing, while a professionals gorgeous attire, seated at a, little marble table, was ready to accommodate all coiners at the threeearu trick. The Anglo-Indian and his wife, military men and civilians were having their first fling of pleasure on their way home. Young Mr. Griffin and Capts. Punter and Doucoace were enjoying themselves. "I wouldn't have missed this on any account" said Mr. Brown, with enthusiasm. "An soon as I arrive I shall point to my society that there is a vast sphero of labor awaiting it lie re," JETf* 'MM ?} "Are you thinking of applying for tho billet, then," said the captain, as he rattled his rupees nervously. We were standing at the back of the crowd which surrounded tho roulette table Before we had quite made up our minds whether we should play or not, tho obliging habitues had made way for us and Capt Hare and I began to plank our money down manfully. I was cleaned out in about twenty minutes. Capt Hare held out for half an hour. We had each lost our 50 rupees, and we felt we had done enough for honor. I think we should have gone on, had we been provided with more capital. Thon we both tried to borrow from Rev. Archibald Brown, but the good man refused to encourage us in our iniquity. "I've only got 10 rupees," said ho "with me, I'll lose that, and then I'll come away" Then he began to ploy—at first very timidly—a rupee at a time. The table won steadily, but so did Rev. Arcnibald Brown. He didn't look a bit like a clergyman in his white linen suit and sola topee. His usually benevolent features were disfigured by a sardonic smile, and he won every time. I looked at Capt Hare, and the Captain winked at me. "You must have made a good thing of i t Brown,11 he said; "hadn't wo better be making tracks before you lose it all again?" "Man," said the parson, ' 'I like to go aw.iy a winner; it would be seemly.'1 Rev. Archibald Brown wont on stale* ing with the regularity of clockwork. He now put down 10 rupees at a sometimes considerably more, bat invariably won, with a few exo when the zeros turned up, course* the bank cleared the was a rather monotonous thing to the Captain and myself to look on at our clerical friend1* good fortune without participating in i t Again we tried to borrow a few rupees of him, but ha reproved UH. "It would but be encouraging iniquity,11 he replied, "and you'll disturb my cal'culations." Time ran on, and we three began to attract the attention of the entire company. As I have bald, Rev. Archibald Brown seldom or never lost So heavy had been his winnings that the rupees in his pocket absolutely chinked as he stretched forward to put down his stakes. I begun to uulerntand why he looked upon Suez as a suitable field for Missionary enterprise. How much he would have won if he had gone on I can npt tell; but just then the steam whistle of the Arbaces began to give out a series of agonizing shrieks. "She'll be off in half an hour,11 remarked Capt. Hare; '-we'd better get back with the crowd while wo can do it in safety, for the place is horribly dangerous at night aud you've quite enough specie on you, parson, to make it worth some ruffian's while to knock you oh the head.'1 We left the place, and returned to the wharf with the numerous passengers of the Arbaces, reached our boat without adventure, and got on board in safety. As we stepped upon the deck "Grimes" with one spring dropped from a yard above our heads. In his usual weird $,nd noiseless fashion, and leaped into tho captain's arms with a tender moan of welcome. We sat down upon the quarter deck at the little table where we used to play whist. "What did you win, parson?" said I. "We'll soon find that out'' said he, with a smile, and thon he proceeded to disgorge. Rupees dollars, napoleons, imperials and British sovereigns, with numerous £5 notes, were soon arranged in little symmetrical heaps; the missionary h id spoiled the Egyptians to the tune of £830. "It's, a little more than a year's pay," said Capt. Hare, with honest admiration; "a good tveuing's work, Air. "Brown, even for a clergyman." "Dinna fleer ut me, man,11 said the missionary, as he neatly secured the miscellaneous plunder in a hu-ge handkerchief- "Tell us now you managed it," said I, with some curiosity. "You must have played before. H:ul you a system?" "It didn't require a system, gentlemen,' 1 said the parson, complacently, as he rubbed his hands. "I am an observant person, and I watched, the game. I very soon saw that, if the bulk of the money was staked upon the red, the black won. and vice versa. I am afraid the proprietors cheated; perhaps I was wrong in taking advantage of their wickedness, but it"wat> very simple." "Bravo, parson!1' 1 exclaimed, with enthusiasm; "tu you belongs the credit of a great discovery. I shall never torget your ingenious system to my dyingday." "We will call it the coup de Suez," s;iid Capt. Hare, with a laugh. "On my arrival in London, gentlemen, I shall place the ill-gotten dross to the credit of my society," s.iid Rev. Archibald Brown. But that money was never destined to reach tho coilers oi the society; it never left Suez, and it is in Suez still. A long and almost human hand was suddenly stretched forth, and 'Grimes" •> ith a single spring disappeared into the rigging with the parson's rightly gotten gains. In vain we called upon tho animal; he ran along1 the yard witli his booty and calmly dropped it into the sen, where it disappeared with a splash. We were lying, alas! in thirty-fathom water with a muddy bottom. Rev. Archibald Brown swore us to secrecy; we promised never to betray him during his lifetime. Alas! poor fellow, ho has been recently devoured by the Caribbees, he must have been a tough morsel; and I now tell the story for the first time for what it is worth."

Got Bffgt Every D»jr Ijwt Winter. In the first place hens should never be crowded in their winter quarters; second, corn should never be fed to laying hens, as it contains no elements that assist in egg production and is only fittor tho fattening process. Now, for my method, not theoretically given, but as a practical experience. I got eggs every day last winter, and expect to this winter. My houses are j not artificially heated, nor are they so I warm as to keep water from freezing in them; but they are tight enough to turn all draughts and the windows are supplied with tight shutters. The apartments are eight feet square, and are intended to hold no more than twelve hens. The floor is of dry dirt covered about a foot with cle n, dry straw. Thia should be forked over every two or three days and changed for fresh as often as necessary. In the morning I give a warm feed consisting oi bran middlings, very small portion ol oatmeal and the refuse scraps from the table, stirred up in hot milk. I feed only what they will eat up clean; then about ten o'clock, two or three good handfuls of wheat oats or barley are thrown into the straw; this keeps them busy scratching the rest of the day. A hen must be given plenty of exercise; she id sure to become too fat to lay if she has nothing to do but stand around and eat "Oh, well,11 some people would say, "all this is too much trouble: it won't pay." All right, then, if it don't pay to sell eggs at twenty-five and thirty cents per dozen, there is no money ia poultry at all- But there is money in it as hundreds of successful poultrymen will amply prove. Court the "Mother's Fundnesa*" Sprinkle a little salt on the lamb so the mother will be induced to' lick it To make a ewe take another Iamb after she has lost her own. tie the skin of the latter on the "aaopted," young- Bter. If at any time the lamb is weak and sk'kly give it half a spoonful of hog's lard. Repeat the dose in half an hour if no better, as this cuts all phlegm, makes breathing more easy, and gives strength and tone to tho system. But of all things there is nothing like sunshine for young lambs, as this gives them more strength and growth than anything else. Should they get chilled at any tinus. give them some rum witn a little as^afoetida dissolved in it. Manure should oot be i allowed to accumulate in tno Darn, as tile gases arising from it are very unhealthful. It is one of the most pro- , lific causes of bad outcome with prejr- . nant ewes, failure of milk, disowning j of hvmbs, shedding of wool, and perhaps death. We would say. in conclusion, that there are but three short periods each year that shoep require any extra attention—that is, breeding season, lambing time and weaning season. Growing Flax. All through the west, a.s is generally known, flux is grown by farmers for seed alone. The fibre, which in Europe is considered the most valuable part of the crop, is here thrown away, as making too much trouble to save. A careful computation shows that tho flax fibre thus wasted would, if utilized. give work to enough population lo make a city of 160,000 people. The , more this subject is studied, the great er this wastage appears. The men^ngaged in working UD the flax/fibre would be withdrawn from agricultural pursuits. Wo should furnl^m a home market for probably 1,>XX),OOO more bushels of wheat than «fe do now. The flax industry, being^nade doubly profitable, most enormously increase. If we are now producing too much other grain, espechifly wheat the increased growth ofttkx would displace a part of the extra product Flax is said to be, and .rs, exhaustive. But the seed makes the most valuable feed for ma- 1 jMire making. The stalk excepting the fibres should be saved and returned to the soil. So, though flarx will always require rich land, its net exhaustion of the soil, with good management, may be less than with many other crops. Arithmetic In the Dairy. Too manj of our farmers neglect their arithmetic in tho dairy business. Very few have any definite iden of the cost of- a quart of milk, yet the matter of « fraction of a cent determines the 9t;'ts%s in the business. They d a oheese meeting in the for hours over the u sixth , and a in the manufacture but neglect en* j * tirely to consider the cost of a pound of milk. Every farmer should nave* some data by which he can tell how much a quart of milk costs him at difdf ferent seasons ol the year. V Each cow should be tested by herself, at least once a year, and twice would be much bettor. In this way the cows that make our profits could, be separated from those that are a positiye loss. It is not every cow that is a success. There are as many failures in the dairy herd as in the human family. Some people should have died before they were born, and some cows should have been oxen, or made into veal ia culfhood. H « « >*ot**H. A very great hinderance to the practical handling of bees, is the fear of stings. Every beginner should guard against them by supplying himseJf or herself, with a bee veil which will protect the face. A prime necessity in handling bees is u. smoke of some kind. Those known as "bellows smokers'' are by far the best This mode of npplying smoke for quieting bees is adopted by nearly: all bee-keepers and is proving invaluable. The extractor for removing honey from the combs without injuring them is a very important implement, and one which no apiary should be without Every one having only three colonies will find in nearly all seasons a use for it which will more than pay for. its first cost in one season. Especially is it valuable for taking the honey out of partly filled sections, so as to leave the combs clear of honey which is darker, so that it will not be mix ed with that which is white that will be stored early the next season. The truth which every beginner should learn, and one that should, stand out with great prominence is, thnt a large farce of bees will do a large amount oi work, and that said force should be on hand just when-the labor or honey harvest is on hand. Failing to have the workers on hand at this time, means a failure to secure very much of a harvest of honey, Therefore every effort shonld be made to secure a large stock of working bees at the time or tirries when the flowers yield the most honey, or when the plants are in bloom which usually gives • the surplus crop. No Two Alike. There are no two things in the?, world just exactly alike. No two now» are exactly alike, and the individual ia constantly changing, like her owner, from ye <r to ye;ir. This calls for constant watchfulness and individual treatment of the vow, according to the demands of her condition. So far as possible the Cow should be given the opportunity of selection of food, and the time whentodrink waterand when, to eat salt; when to stand idle, when to forage, when to lie down and when. to move around. Bee keepers study the habits and wants of their bees; the dairyman should do the same with 2iis cows. Hints for the Kitchen. Cleanse the sink-snout with copperas water. If sassafras bark is sprinkled among dried fruit it will keep out toe woqpas. Tin cleaned with paper will shine better than when cleaned Vith flannel. Ham should be broiled very quickly, and just enough to/cook through. Yeast jars should be washed in cold water and afterward thoroughly scalded. / Oilclothj/will last longer if one or two layers ol wadded carpet lining are laid urfaer them. Cranberries will keep through the nter in a firkin of water, but to have them quite fresh the water must be changed several times during the se.vson. Lay a piece of thick Canton flannel under your tablecloth. Even coarse napery will look a much better quality with a subcover than if spread directly over tho bare table top. Flowers can be kept fresh for some time if a pinch of soJa or saltpeter is added to the water. Wilted roses will regain their freshness if dipped a min~ ute or two in hot water. The elasticity of cane chair bottom can be restored by washing the can$ with soap and water until it is well soaked and than drying thoreughly in, the air, after which they will become as tight and firm as new, if none of the canes are broken. In washing tumblers or goblets that h-ive boon qsed for milk do not plunge them into hot water without first rinsing, as it drives the milk into the glass* and cannot ne removed. To clarify molasses heat over tho fire, pour ;n ono pintof sVeot milk to each gallon of molasses. The impurities will rise in seuru, which must be taken off before broken, by boiling, Saving in the* kitchen tells upon the income aud makes the bank account heavier, br.t the TO is one savin? that exceeds even these; it Is that the and mother save herself* / I / 1 /i v , « ? • ; .
