Mrs. Anna Baker died at the homo of her son, Daniel Baker, at this place Tuesday evening, November 28, 1893, in the 86th year of her age. Mrs. Baker, whose maiden name was Welch, was born near Lake George, N. Y., on Sept. 9,1807. She married Daniel Baker and settled in Stuben Co., N. Y., where they lived and raised a family of nine children, six of whom (two boys and four girls) survive her. In 1867, Mr. and Mrs. Baker moved to Michigan and settled on a farm near Williamston. In 1872 Mr. Baker died, and since that time Mrs. Uaker has lived a widow. For tbe past 18 months she has made it her home with her son at this place, and has been in quite poorj health most of the time. In early life she gave her heart to the Saviour, and since that time has been a devoted christian and a mamber of the M. E. church.

She passed away peacefully and quietly on the morning of the 25th of Nov. 1893. During all her sickness not a word of complaint escaped her lips; but always looked to Jesus in trouble and affliction. She had only taken her bed five short days when tbe summons came and she closed her. eyes only to open them in heaven She was_ an earnest member of the M. E. church and a devoted scholar in the Sabbath school, always attending when able, where she will be missed by her many little friends and tcacber.

CHAPTER IIL—CONTIXURIX It was very small, very shabby; arid cheap •lthough It was, the rent seemed a great deal to Rose, after her experience of village lodgings on the way; but her new friend told her she might walk miles and get nothing so cheap In all Paris; so she took heart, and hired the apartment for a mouth certain, paying the fifth of her golden pieces, of which she had spent Just four upon the road, as an instalment of the r e n t And then, still directed by her stout friend, she went to a cremeiie round the corner, and bought some milk and rolls and a little cheese for supper; and the sister sat down in their new home, so bare of many things essential for oomfort, and laughed and cried jover their first meal in Paris. Kathleen was almost hysterical with fatigue and exciteanent. All the way they had come, even in the midst of her girlish gladness, she had been haunted by fears of pursuit, The Reverend Mother would send the gardener after her, and have her taken back and shut <up In the suu-baked room where the rats lived. "But now we are safe," she said, with her head on her sister's shoulder, and Hose's arm round her, "we are safe in Paris; and if Reverend Mother sends after us, we'll go to the Emperor and ask him to take care of its. We are his subjects now." This was •in '62, when the Empire was In its glory, and there was a sense ot power and splendor in the third Napoleon's dominion over this beautiful modern Babylon, such as must have been felt in Rome under the politic sway of Augustus. These giris felt as if they were In a fortress, now they were within the charmed circle of imperial magnificence. • Years of struggle and. poverty and indust r y and self-denial came after that happy evening when the girls sat in the twilight, •dreaming of a bright future; but though the training was severe, it was perhaps, the best and noblest school in which humanity can be educated. The sisters were never unhappy, for they were together, and they •were free. Rose was sister, mother, guardian, all the world of love and shelter for Kathleen, who bloomed into exquisite loveliness in that humble Parisian lodging, a fair flower blossoming unseen, with, happily, few to note her beauty. Rose found only too soon that education was a drug in the Parisian markets. After heroic efforts to get employment as a morning governess in a tradesman's family, she fell back upon the only industry which offered itself, and, by the help of her first Parisian friend, Madame Schubert, the stout matron who had found her a lodging, sha got employment as an artificial flower-maker, in which art she progressed rapidly, and, in a couple of years, attained a perfection which insured her liberal wages—wages which enabled her to maintain the little lodging, and feed and clothe herself and her sister. The fare was of the simplest, and there was a good deal of pinching needed to make both ends meet in that luxurious expensive city of Paris; especially in winter, when fuel made such an inroad upon the slender purse; but somehow the girls never knew actual privation, never went to bed hungry, or were haunted in their slumber by the nightmare of debt. The little rooi*s on the third, story were the pink 0«. neatness. Kathleen waj nousekeepe*, ^ i d her busy hand* swept and dusted and polished, and kept all things bri;rht. The modest gray or brown merino gowns were never shabby or dilapidated. Collars &nd cuffs were always spotless, and the little feet neatly shod. There were arways a few halfpence for the has; at Notre Dame, and there was always a loaf to divide with a poor m-iglibor, or a cup of soup for a sick child. On the-other hand, the pleasures of the pisters were of the rarest, and, perhaps,that is why they were so sweet. A steamboat excursion once or twice in a long summer/ to some suburban village that was almost: the country ;n visit to a cheap boulevard theatre once or twice in the long winter. But O, how heavenly was the scent of/lime !»lo>si>ms, how exquisite the verduieo/summer meadows, to those who tasted riie luxury so seldom ! And how vivid ant/real was that sham world of the stage to those who so seldom saw the curtain r i s / u p o n that paint and tinsel paradise! / Hose and Kathleen lived ,as humbly as grisettes live, and dressed a^grisettesdress; but they preserved the secluded habits of English ladies—knew no/one, and spoke to no one, outside the narrow enclosure of that little stone-paved yard in the Rue Git le Coeur, with its t h r e / houses divided into twenty domiciles. /Among these dwellings the sisters had made a few respectable acquaintances, including Madame Schubert, the stout matryh who grew more and more obese as the ^ears went by, who was described somewhat vaguely as a pelttrentier, *nd whoseonly business in life was to know the business of her neighbors, and to attend upon ap ancient coffee-colored pug almost as obese as herself. As'she was their first, so was Madame Schubert their best and most intimate friend, arid, indeed, the one only person whom the .Demoiselles O'Hara visited and received in / t h i s vast city of Paris. She was always their companion and protectress in those happy excursions to the country, those fairylike nights at the theatre. It was she who supplied the secluded damsels with news of ie outside world. She knew, or pretended tnow, everything that was going on in Parts; and she certainly did know everyweut on in the Rue Git le Cceur. It w a k Madame, or in familiar parlance Mam an, Schubert who gave Rose and Kathleen the first information about a new lodger who had takju up his abode in the two litt l e garrets over their ow>n apartment—a young man/with a handsome face, and gentil—ah, But how gentft/ tout^L-fctU talon rvuge. He/would bear comparison with any ganditi on the boulevard, although his coat looked as if It had been well worn, and all his wonldly goods consisted of one battered portmanteau and an old egg-box full of b o "He Writes for the papers—for the Drapeau flouge," said Maman Schubert. "I Seen the printer's devil going up stairs wltl/prools. But he is not rich, this youth, for he breakfasts at Suzon Michel's cremerie, and he often buys a slice of Lyons sausage a n d a loaf as he gem home in ^he afternoon, when other young men are going to their favorite r e s t a u r a n t " "Doar" maman, how Is it that you know everything about everybody?" exclaimed Rose. She had mrt the new lodger on the stairs that morning, and could not deny his good looks. He was tall and slim. He had dark eyes—eagle eyes—and a black moustache, and features as clearly cut as a profile ou a Roman cameo. "I have eyes and ears, and a heart to sympathise with my neighbors in their joys and sorrows," said Madame Schubert. "One might as well be the statue of King Henry on the Pont Neuf as go through the world caring for nobody but oneself." This was a clever way of making a feminine vice seem a virtue; but Maman Schubert was really a good soul, and always ready to help a poor neighbor. She was very torn! of the O'Hara girls, and already she had begun to build her little eastles ii the air for their benefit. Rose was to marry Philip, that honest young mechanic from the far south, beyond Carcassonne, who was doing so well as a journeyman cabinetmaker, and who was something of an artist in his way, and thus a little above the average mechanic. And now here there had dropped from the sky, as it were, the very lover of lovers for Kathleen—young, handsome, refined, as charming as a lover in a play. Maman Schubert told herself it was high time Kathleen should have a lover, whoso duty it would be to protect and cherish her, and to marry her so soon as ever they were rich enough to marry. Site was much too pretty to remain unguarded by a strong man's love. For such fresh and innocent loveliness Paris was full of snares; she could not go the length of a street alone without encountering perils. The wolf was always on the watch for this lamb. Rose O'Hara'9 avocations compelled her to be absent all day long, and she was obliged to mew her young sister in the little sittingroom, forbidding her to go a step beyond her daily marketing within a narrow radius of the Rue Git le Coeur. The wolf, as represented by the gandln or petit creve, was not often on the prowl in this humble locality. The pavements were too rough for his dainty boots, the region altogether too shabby for »?Ls magnificence. But from the Sorbonu<.\ from the Luxembourg, and from the Hotel Dieu issued wolves of another and rougher s p e c i e s - students of all kinds; and Rose lived in ever-present fear lest one of these should assail her cherished lamb. Maman Schubert was often too lazy to go marketing; and then Kathleen must needs go alone on her little errands to the green-grocer, or the pork-butcher, or the crcmerie. The cremerle was just round the corner—/ one of the neatest daintiest little shops Iri j Paris, or at least it was so thought by ttfie i inhabitants of Git le Coeur who patronised' it liberally. It was a tiny shop in a narrow street, and one descended to it by t W stone steps, trodden hollow and sloping/by pilgrims In past ages; for the shop y/as an old shop, coeval with the departed/glories of the Faubourg St. Germain. I t / w a s cellarlike and dark, but that was an advantage on a hot summer day. It was" cool and shadowy, like a rustic dairy, and it was clean— ah, how it was clean! Ypu might have offered a napoleon for every cobweb to be found in Suzon Michel's shop, without fear of being out of pock/t by your ofl'er. The little tables at which Suzon's customers breakfasted were jdl spotless marble. Her thick white crockery had never a stain or a smear. Her brass milk-cans and tin coffeepots were as bright as' silver in a silversmith's shop/ It was in this half-underground apartment that GiLst*/n Mortemar. the young journalist, took his/breakfast every day—coffee and evrgs, vf>\\ and butter, occasionally diversified brf a plale ot redishes. This simple and wholesome fare was enlivened by the society of Madame Michel, a hrixom black-eyi'd widow of six-and-twenty, /Who had always the last news of the quar- /fer, and a cheery word for every comer, and who found a great deal to say to this particular customer. Sue stood behind her bright little counter, flashing her knittingneedles, or moved deftly about the shop, polishing and arranging her pots and pans, while Gaston Mortemar breakfasted, and that hour seemed to her always the brightest in the day. By the time he had lived six months in the Rue Git le Cieur, they were on very intimate terms. She used to upbraid hini if he were five minutes later than his usual hour, and site would pout and look sorrowful if he seemed in haste to depart. Once she served him a better breakfast than he had ordered, and wanted to supply him with a dainty dish gratis; but Monsieur Mortemar drew the line here. His angry flush and haughty frown told the little widow that she had gone too far. "Please to remember that I am a gentleman, and not a piqiieassiettc," he said, "and that I eat nothing 1 cannot pay for." Madame shrugged her shoulders, and said it was hard she could not offer an omelette aux points d'asperye* to a friend if she liked. "When I visit my friends I take what they choose to give me," answered Gaston coldlv; "but I have no friends in this part of Paris." Suzon Michel looked as black as thunder, and took the journalist's money in sulky silence. She broke a jug before dinner-time, and was snappish to her customers all the rest of the day. "What Satan-like pride!" she exclaimed, thinking of her favorite patron; and then she muttered a remark which might have found a place later In the^columns of the Pert Zhidienc. She cried when she went to bed that night, cried and sobbed, and swore an oath or two by way of solace, before she laid her head on her pillow, thinking that Gaston Mortemar would come no more to the little table at the end of the shop. But at the usual time he walked into her shop, and sat himself down with an Imperturbable visage. She served his coffee as carefully as ever, but said never a word. He read a newspaper while he breakfasted, paid, and went, without a word on his part. Next morning there was a bunch of daffodils on the little table, a bunch of yellow bloom lighting up the shadowy corner. Suzon had trudged to the flower-in arket before she opened her shop, to buy these spring flowers for the man she loved. Yes, she loved him, and meant to marry him If t h e could, l i e was a gentleman, and she canaille de canaille. But what of that? Did not the gutter throne it yonder on the side of the Seine, In the Bois, In the Paro Monceau—the gutter made glorious in silks and satins, driving thoroughbred horses, scattering their lovers' substance in waves of gold'? Did not all that was noblest in the land lay itself down and grovel at the feet of the gutter? And her gentleman was poor and friendless; lie lived in a garret, and toiled for a pittance. Surely he would be willing and glad to marry her, when he knew that she had saved money, and had her little Investments in the public funds. H e smiled at sight of the first flowers of spring, looking up at the widow, saw that ahe was smiling too. Ail her sullen gloom h a d melted at sight of him. She was so glad he had not forsaken her shop. Perhaps it would have hurt her even more than his desertion to have known how insignificant a figure she made in his life, and how little he had thought about yesterday's dispute. H e asked her the news, and her whole face beamed at the sound of his voice. Slie prattled away gaily for the rest of the hour, and considered every other customer an Intruder while Gaston sat at his little table. *'Vou ought to put up a placard in your window, wirli "Relache" upon it, whe.\ Monsieur is here," said a grumpy porter, to whom she had served a pat of butter with scant civility, and whose keen eyes saw the state of affairs. This kind of thing went on for mora than a year. Now and again, when Ga-ton was in luck and had made a few franc* muru than Itis ordinary earning* from the news, papers, he rewarded the little widow's attentions by taking tier to a theatre, and giving her an ice or a supper in the Passage Jourt'roy before he escorted her home. He treated her eu (jrand seigneur on these occasions, and these evenings were to Suzon Michel as nights spent in paradise; hours to dream about for weeks after they were gone, to long for with a passionate longing. Yet they brought her no nearer to the man she loved or to the realisation of her hopes. Not a word was ever spoken of love or marriage. When they parted 9/1 the steps of the crenverie, while the bells of Notre Dame were chiming one of the quarters after midnight, they were as far apart as ever. If she was ever to be Madame Mortemar the offer of marriage must come from her own lips, Suzon thought; and she would not have shrunk from telling the man of her choice of those sninj little investments, and her willingness to share her economies with him. Feminine delicacy would not have hindered stichan avowal; but there was something in tin/man himself which sealed her lips. Gaston was as cold as ice, as calm as marble. He had that amiable languorof speech and manner which clever young men are apt to aftect, until it becomes a second nature. He talked like a man who had lived through every experience that life could offer to reprobate youth, who had grown old in evil before Time had written a wrinkle on his brow. "Ah, but he has lived, that youth !" said t h e knowing ones of the quarter. "He has squandered the paternal fortune on actresses and cocottes, and now he has to write for his bread." The fact was that Gaston Mortemar had never had a napoleon to bestow upon anybody, for good or eviL H e had worked for his daily bread ever since lie left the school of Albert the Great, where he had been one of the brightest pupils of the good Dominicans. He had never been rich enough to be profligate in a grand way; and he was too proud,'too refined to stoop to cheap vice. H e w a s , like Alfred de Musset, a dandy born, created with relined tastes and lofty aspirations; but poverty had embittered him. He had fed his mind with the writinns of Villon and Voltaire and Rousseau, Theophiie Gautier, Musset, Baudelaire, ami Flaubert, lie was a cynic to tlie marrow ot his bones. He tried to surpass Voltaire in acrimony, Rousseau in discontent, ami lashed himself into fury when he wrote about the great ones of the earth. One d a y he met Kathleen O'Hara in the morning sunshine, coming in from hot marketing, just as he was going out to breakfast, with a neat gray gown and a paleblue neck-ribbon, and a basket of lettuce and redishes on her arm; and he thought he saw a Greuzti that had suddenly become flesh and blood, and had walked out of its frame in the Louvre yonder, across the shining river. He forgot his good manners, and turned to look after her as she crossed t h e yard and tripped up the steps of thai house which he had just left. He knew that two girls occupied one half of the third story, but they had kept themselves soclos* that he had only seen the elder sister, ones, in a way, on the sta^case. Madame Schubert was standing in iter doorway, scenting the morning air, and watching the goings and comings of her neighbors. She anV Gaston had long been on friendly terms, s<i she gave him a little nod, and laughed as ha passed her door. "Gentillc, n'est-ce pat, mon garewnt" she screamed, in her shrill treble, with the Boulevard St. Michel twang. "Gentille! She is adorable," answered Gaston, "is it possible that such an ang-d i:ih;ibits the same dull walls that shelter me?" "Dangerous, is it not? But she is as good as she is pretty. A gentleman's daughter too, though she and her sister have to work for their bread, poor orphans. The father was an Irish captain." "Irish!" exclaimed Gaston, with a touch of surprise.

N T H E E V E N I N G o f T h a n k s g i v i n g d a y J o h n Inglefield, the b l a c k smith, sat in his e l b o w chair a m o n g those w h o had been k e e p i n g festiva at his board. Being the central figure of the domestic circle, i he fire t h r e w its s t r o n g e s t l i g h t on his massive and sturdy frame, rendering his rough visage so that it looked l i k e the head of an iron statue, all a-glow from his o w n forge, and w i t h its features rudely fashioned on his o w n anvil. At John Ingletield's right hand w a s an empty chair, The other places round the hearth were tilted by the members of the family, w h o ail sat quietly, while, w i t h a semblance of fantastic merriment, their shadows danced on the wall behind them. One of the group was John Inglefield's son, w h o had been bred at college and w a s n o w a student of t h e o l o g y at Andover. There was also a daughter of 16, w h o m nobi dy could look at- witho u t t h i n k i n g of a rosebud almost blossoming. The only o t h e r person a t the fireside w a s Robert Moore, formerly an apprentice of the blacksmith, but n o w his journeymen, a n d w h o seemed more like an o w n son of John Inglefield than did the pale and slender student. Ouly these-four had kept N e w England's festival beneath that roof. The vacant chair at John Inglefield's r i g h t h a n d w a s in memory of his wife, w h o m death had m a t c h e d from him s i n c e t h e previous T h a n k s g i v i n g . With a feeling that few would h t v e ooked for in his rough nature the be- «e*ved husband had himself set the chair in its place n e x t his o w n . and o uen did his eye glance t h i h e r w a r d as if he deemed it possible tr.at the cold grave m i g h t send back its tenant to the cheerful fireside, at least for t h a t one evening. Thus did he cherish the grief that w a s dear to him. B t there was another grief which he would fain have torn from his heart; or, since that could never be, have buried it too deep for o t h e r s < o behold or for his o w n remembrance. \N ithin the past yciir another member o ' his housebo d had eone from him; but not to the grave. Yet they kept no va ant chair for her. While John Inglefield and bis family w e r e bitting around the hearth, with t h e shadows dancing behind them on the wall, the outer door w a s opened and a l i g h t footstep came a l o n g the passage. The laich f he inner do r w a s lifted bv s <me familiar hand, and a y o u n g girl came in, w e a r i n g a cloak and hood, w h ch she took off and laid on the tnble beneath the lookingglaes. T h e n after g a z i n g a m o m e n t at the fireside circle, she approached and too the seat at John Inglefield's right hand, as f i t ha.i beeu reserved on purpose for her. "Here I am at last, father," said she. "You ate your T h a n k s g i v i n g dinner w i t h o u t me, but I have come back to spend the evening w i t h vou." \ es, it was Prudence Inglefield. She wore the same neat and maidenly attire which sne had been accustomed to p u t on w h e n the household work was over for the day. and her hair w a s parted from her brow in the simple and modest fashion that became her best of all. If her cheeK m i g h t other- "WOX'T YOC 8HAKK HAXI>S WITH AN OT.D FRIKMV'" I w i s e have been pale, y e t the g l o w of the fire sufficed it w i t h a healthful bloom. If she had spent the many i m o n t h s of her absence in g u i ' t ami '• infamy, y e t they, seemed to have left no traces on her g e n t l e aspect. >he ! could not have l o o . e d less altered had she merely stepped a w a y from her father s fireside for half an hour and | returned w h i l e the bl<ze wa,s quiver- [ i n g upward from the tajne brands j \^m:d. that were burning at her departure. And to John Inplefield she was the very image of his buried wife, such as he remembered her on the first T h a n k s g i v i n g which t u e y had passed under their o w n roof. Therefore, t h o u g h naturally a s t e m and rugged man, he euuld n< t speak unkindly to his sinful child, nor y e t could he take her to his bosom. "You are welcome home. Prudence," said he, g l a n c i n g s i o e w a y s at her, and his voice faltered. "Your mot er would have rejoiced to see you. but she has been gone from us these four m o n t h s '' "I k n o w it. father, I k n o w it," replied Prudence, quickly. ''And yet. w h e n I first came in. mv eyes were so dazed by the firelight '^at she seemed to be sitting in this very cha r." Bv this time the other members of the familv htveTbegun to recover from their surorisft_jand became sensible t h a t it was n Q g h o s t from the grave nor vision of their vivid recollections, but Prudence her o w n self. Her brother w a s the n e x t t h a t greeted her. He advanced and held out his hand affectionate^, as a brother should, y e t nut entirely like a brothe for with all his kindness, he w a s still a clergyman and s p e a k i n g to a child of sin. "Sister Prudence,"' s-id h e e a r n e s t l y 'I rejoice t h a t a merciiul Providence h a t h turned your steps h o m e w a r d in t i m e for me to bid you a last farewell. In a few weeks, sister. I am to sail as a missionary to the far islands of t h e Pacific. There is not one of. these beloved faces that I shall ever hope to behold again on this earth. Oh, may I see all of them—yours and all—bey o n d 'he grave " A shadow flitted across the girl's countenance. " The grave is very dark, brother." answered she, w i t h d r a w i n g -her hand s o m e w h a t hastily from his gra-p "You may look your l a s t at me by the l i g h t of this fire," While this was p a s s i n g the twin-girl — the rosebud that had g r o w n on the Bxrne stem w i t h the castaway—stood g a x i n g at her sister, l o n g i i g to fling herself upon her bosom, so that the tendrils of their heart m i g h t intert w i n e again. At first s h e w a s res t r a i n t by minarled grief and shame, and by a dread that Prudence was too much changed to respond to her affection, o r t h a t h e r o w n purity would be felt as a reproach bv the lost one But, as she listened to the familiar voice, w h le the face g r e w more and more familiar, she forgot e v e r y t h i n g s a v e t h a t Prudence had come b:u*k. Springi n g forward, she would have clasped her in .« close embra e. A t t h a t verv instant, however, Prudence started from her chair an<i held out both hands w i t h a w a r n i n g gesture. '•No. Mary: no, my sister." cried she: "do t ot touch me. Your bosom must not be pressed to mine ' Alary shuddered and stood still, for' s h e felt t h a t s o m e t h i n g darker t h a n the i:rave w a s b e t w e e n Prudence and herself, though t ey seemed so near each other in the l i g h t of their father's hearth, where they had g r o ^ o up together. Meanwhile Pr«d#fice t h r e w her e y e s aro nd the room in search o f one w h o l a d n o t y e t b dden hei wel* come. He bad w i t h d r a w n from h i * B< at by t h e nreside and <vas s t a n d i n g near t h e door w i h his face a v e r t e d , so t h a t his features could be d i s c e r n e d o n l y by the flickering shad w of the> profile upon the wall. But Prudence* called to him in a cheerful and kindly/ tone: "Come. Robert," said s^e. " w o n ' t y o u s h a k e h a n d s with your old friend?'* Robert held back for u. m o m e n t , b u t affection struggled p o w e r f u l l y a n d o v e r c a m e his pride and r e s e n t m e n t . He rushed toward P r u d e j c e , seized her hand and pressed it t o his bosom. "There, there, Robert." s id s h e , s m i l i n g sadly as she w i i h d r e w her h a n d , "you m u s t not give me too w a r m a welcome." And now, h a v i n g excha,ntred greeti n g s w i t h each member of the f a m i l y , Prudence again seated herself in t h e chair a t . ' o h n Ingletield's right band- She wns n a m a ly a gi 1 of quick a n d tender sensibilities, g l a d s o m e in h e r general mood, but with a b e w i t c h i n g p a t h o s interfused a m o n g htv merriest w o r d s and deeds It w a s remarked of ner, too, t h a t she had a faculty, e v e n in childhood, of t h r o w i n g her o w n f e e l i n g s like a spell over her compani o n s >uch as she had been n the d a y s of her innocence, so did sue appear this e v e n i n g Her friends, in t h e surprise and bewilderment of her return, almost forgot t h a t she had ever left them, or that she had forfeited a n y i f her claims to their affection. In the m o r r i n g , perhaps they m i g h t have looked at her witu a tered eyes, but by the T h a n k s g i v i n g fireside t h e y f e l t o n ! y t h a t iheir o w n Pruden e h a d come back t o t h e m and were thankful. J o h n Inglefield's r u g h v i s a g e brightened w i t h t h e g l o w of his heart as i t g r e w w a r m and merry w i t h i n him. Once or t w i c e he even l a u g h e d till theroom r a n g j g a i n . yet s e e m e d startled by the echo of his o w n mirth. T h e grave y o u n g minister b e c a m e as frolicsome as a schoolboy. M ary, too, t h e rosebud, forgot that her t w i n blossom had ever been torn from t h e s t e m a n d trampled in the d u s t And as for Robert Aioore, he gazed at Prudence w i t h the bashful earnestness of love newborn, w h i l e she, w i t h sw> e t maidencoquetry, half smi ed upon and h a l f discouraged him In short, it was one of those intervals w h e n sorrow v a n i s h e s in its o w n d e p t h of shadow and joy starts forth in transitory brightness. When t h e clock struck 8, Prudence poured o u t her father's customary d r a u g h t of herb tea, w h i c h she had been s t e e p i n g by t h e hreside ever since t w i l i g h t ' G o d bless you, child! ' said J o h n Inglefield. as he took the cup from her hand: "you have made y o u r old father happy again. But w e miss y o u r m o t h e r sadly. Prudence, sadly. I t seems as if she o u g h t to be here n o w . " " N o w , father, or never,'' replied Prudence. It w a s n o w the hour for d o m e s t i c worship, b u t while the family w e r e m a k i n g preparations for their duty, they suddenly perceived t h a t Prudence had put on her cloak and hood a n d w a s lifting the latch of the door. "Prudence, Prudence, where are y o u g o ; n g ? " cried thev all w i t h one voice. As Prudence passe t out of the door she turned toward them and flung back her hand with a gesture of farew-eli^ but her face was so changed t h a t t h e y hardly recognized it- Sin a n d e v i l passions g l o w e i t h r o u g h its comeliness and w r o u g h t a horrible deformity ; a smile beamed in her e y e s as a triump h a n t mockery at their surprise a n d grief. " D a u g h t e r , " cried J o h n I n g l e f i e l d , b e t w e e n w r a t h and sorrow, "stay and be your father's blessing, or take h i s curse w i t h you!" For an i n s t a n t Prudence lingered and looked back into t h e fire-lighted room, while her c o u n t e n a n c e w o r e alm o s t the expression fis if she w a s s t r u g g l i n g w i t h a tiead, w h o h a d p o w e r to s i / e his victim e v e n w i t h i n the hallowed precincts of her father a FOR AN I>STANT rRL'DENCK MNOKRKD. hearth.

Michigan B r o t h e r h o o d of St. A n d r e w . The first meeting of the Michigan State Assembly of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew was held in Harris hall, Ann Arbor. This is one of t h e strongest organizations in the Protestant Episcopal church in America. The national assembly was held in Detroit some weeks ago. President James 8. Rogers, of Detroit, made the opening address. Other addresses were by Rev. Henry Tatlock, of Ann Arbor, and •Rev. Dr. ' William Prall, of Detroit, outlining the policy and objects of the brotherhood, which is " t o spread Christ's kingdom among men." Officers elected: President, George II. Pond, of Ann Arbor; vice-presidents, A. N. Patriarche, of Saginaw; Leonard Make and P. Hazleton, of Ann Arbor; secretary, D. 1*. Sullivan, Vpsilanti; assistant secretary, H. M. McPherson, of Detroit. The state councillor the ensuing year consists of Jarafe S. Rogers, of Detroit; George H. Pond, of Ann Arbor; George 11. Thompson; of Detroit; Prof. David E. Smith, of Ypsilanti; William Aikman, Jr., of Detroit; H. J. Brown, of Ann Arbor; John R. Brown, of Fort Gratiot: H. H. Snowden, of Pontiac, and Milton G. Smurthwaite, of Manistee. The delegates were given a luncheon in the afternoon by the ladies of St. Andrew's parish, and were entertained in the evening by t h e various Episcopalian families of the city. Killed a t F o o t Ball. A game of foot ball was being played a t Adrian between the Toledo High .School team and the Adrian College club. The game was a hot one and in a rush Ray Carew, right half back, of Toledo, was crushed to the ground and fully 20 comrades piled upon him. When the mass of legs and arms was untangled it was found t h a t Carew was badly injured. He was carried from the field and an examination showed t h a t his spine was dislocated in the cervical region. Carew died the following morning. Toledo special: The body of Ray Carew has arrived here. The boy's mother is prostrated by the shock, she being in a sickly condition and her reery is improbable. The young man 1 and favorably known here, his ejr being publisher of the Game Breeojer. The accident has put an end to foot t a l l for this year. The high school boys say they were never treated so brutally as by the Adrain team. Two others of the team are in bed from injuries received in the game. • 2 0 0 , 0 0 0 Blaze in a Lumber Town, A furious fire, and one t h a t in loss of property has seldom had its parallel in the north woods, broke out at Keno, Newaygo county, and was not extinguished until 8200,1)00 worth of lumber had been destroyed. The lumber was the property of William Peters, of Toledo. A strike occurred a few weeks ago because pay was delayed. The firm next day paid off the help and discharged the strikers, hiring new men. The tire broke out in the lumber piles, hence the reports of incendiarism. Still it may have been caused by men smoking or by a spark from a locomotive engine passing through the yard. The mill was saved by workmen sweeping off the falling sparks and using water freely. One house two barns and tive freight cars destroyed. and were Williams Is still AUve. Mrs. Charles M. Williams, of Saginaw, whose husband has been on the lakes, sent a description of him to Tawas, which tallied exactly with that of one of the unidentified bodies of the victims of the collision between the propellers Philadelphia and Albany on Lake Huron recently. The body was forwarded from Tawas to Saginaw, and waa fully identified by Mrs. Williams as that of her husband. Arrangements were made for the funeral, but before it took place Mr. Williams returned home, safe and sound, much to the surprise 0¾ his family and friends. He had shipped on the steambarge Donaldson two months ago, and went t o Lake Superior. The body of the supposed Williams is held for further identification. Tried to Barn HJH Way_ta_IdbM?ty. Qeorge Wristley, a 15-year-old boy, was placed in the Flushing lock-up for house breaking. He didn't like th>> place and made a desperate effort to escape by setting fire to the building near the door, and by the time a stream of water was thrown on the tire he was smothered. His lifeless body was taken out of the burning, ruins before t h e fire actually reached him. Wristley was the only inmate. He was found in a corner with his head wrapped in a quilt. lie had evidently emptied a straw tick near the door and set it on fire, expecting to burn a hole through the door. Wristley claimed his home was in Vestaburg, Montcalm couuty. The Vlcthn of a r i o t 1'nr.loned. Gov. Rich has pardoned Frank Matthews, sent to the Marquette prison from near Cadillac in December. ls'.H, for four years; for assault with intent toscommit rape.

SEVEN LIVES LOST A N D OVER $ 7 0 0 , 0 0 0 P R O P E R T Y L O S S . Kelson, Moore <& Company'* Wholesale Dry Uooda House Dentroyed Within Twenty Minutes,—Two of t h e Employes Leaped t o D e a t h and Five a r e liurned. It required just about 20 minutes for the tire demon to wipe out of existence one of Detroit's largest wholesale dry goods houses iu one of the principal buildings at a loss of over 8700,000 and at the same time snuff out seven lives as if they had been candles. It was just 12:45 p. m. when the automatic fire alarm notified the people in the business office of the firm that something was wrong on the fifth fioor. A moment later the alarm had spead throughout the building with all speed. The same automatic alarm had notified the fire department and by the time the cry of fire had spread through the building engines were on their way to the scene. At the same instant passera-by on Jefferson avenue saw a dense cloud rolling from the windows of the fifth story and had scarcely comprehended the trouble when the whose upper part of- the structure was a mass" of smoke and flame. It did not take long for a crowd to gather. Two minutes after the alarm had been given a young man, his face black and grimy with smoke, appeared on a window ledge on the fifth fioor. He glanced down the awful distance then, grasping a rope, he slid down to the ground and disappeared in the crowd. The rope was at once burned near the top and fell. Still the flames and smoke rolled and crackled. Suddenly a man crawled but upon the ledge of a fourth story window and sat there wringing and shaking his hands, as if in terrible pain. His face was black and his hands looked from the street ; as if they were burned to a crisp. From time to time he glanced down at the pavement below him as if he was about to jump. Some men from the store had rolled a few bales of jute out under the window. At this moment there came dashing down the street a hook and ladder truck. "Hold on! Wait a bit! The hook and ladder truck is coming!'' the crowd shouted, waving their hands wildly to the man upon the ledge. Down the side of the building near the allevway another form had appeared amid the, smoke. The crowd called to him to hold on, the truck was coming, and both men clung for life to the hot and blistering ledges of the windows. On and on came the truck. The men in the windows could hear it nearer and nearer. It was a race for life. The flames and smoke were swirling around the helpless men, burning and suffocating them. They grasped the ledges with their hands and hung down to avoid the heat about their heads, but the blistering flames burned their hands to a crisp and the first man"suddenly let go, dropped to the pile of bates and bounded to the sidewalk. This wus Rradley Dunning, a porter. A few seconds latter the other burned and blackened figure dropped into a net the fireman had stretched, but the fall was too much for him and he never spoke; he was dead. His name was .lames McKay, a packer. Dunning died in a short time. < The hook and ladder truck had arrived too late. Meanwhile scenes more terrible had been enacted inside the burning building than those witnessed upon the exterior. In the space, of ten minutes tive men had been burned to death. Patrick J. Markey, a packer; Edward N. Viot, clerk; Edward J. Genther, clerk;, Daniel A. Raker, clerk, and Henry Rider, packer. These with Dunning and McKay, killed by their falls; Paychek, who slid down the rope, and Relanger, a carpenter who escaped in the first minute, were on the fifth floor where the flames first started. The floor was used as a packing and checking room; there were piles of cotton and other inflammable stuffs which burned like a flash when once started. Undoubtedly these poor fellows were crazed by the stifling smoKe and heat and lost their presence of mind. Eddie Leach, the elevator boy, ran the elevator to the fifth floor through the flamesand shouted for the men to get into the elevator, but they ran about the room like mad and would not come near. The heroic lad continued his efforts until his position was positively dangerous and reluctantly left them. Just how they met their deaths can never be known, but the probability is t h a t they were burned to death, adopted a resolution which compels The fina-neiaJ-less;—The-greater-por^ the electric car company to operate its line every lo minutes or forfeit its charter. The line has suspended operations for the winter. It is thought t h e company will forfeit its charter. The supreme court stood on its dignity and issued an order demanding that the Detroit aldermen named in Judge Speed's application for a mandamus shall show cause why they failed to comply with the court's order to approve his bond as city counsellor.

Men 'working with him tried to rescue him, b u t could not reach him. A message was then sent to the works and the current shut off. Ta<-kmann had both hands terribly burned to the bones, besides blistering his hands and arms near!v to the elbows. It is estimated he took a current of 50() volts for at least 10 minutes. He will survive. Scores of Steamers and Fishing Vessels | Destroyed and Over MOO Lives Lost. ' A gale of hurricane proportions swept over the coasts of Great Britain for , over 48 hours and spread death and destruction among the shipping and fishing vessels. Returns are naturally slowly in coining in but it is known t h a t fully 200 lives have been lost. Some idea of the force of the gale can be gathered from the fact t h a t two heavy railroad engines were blown off the track near Iverness. From all ! parts of Ireland where there is telegraphic communication come reports of the severity of the gale which has been accompanied there by heavy snow storms. Hundreds of fishing boats are missing, and numerous wrecks are reported. In addition, the harbors were filled with weather-bound vessels. | The landing stage at Londonderry has vanished and the steam ferry was sunk. During the height of the fury of the gale the steamer Hampshire was driven ashore in St. Ives' Ray, Cornwall, and was pounded to pieces near Gurnard's Head. Twenty-one of the Hampshire's crew were drowned, only one man managed to reach the shore alive. The guardsmen of St. Ives rescued 40 other seamen and officers by j means of the rocket apparatus. Only four of the twelve members of the crew of the steamer Cjntra which was wrecked near St. Ives, escaped. The steamer Rosedale entered the harbor of St. Ives, but affer letting go her anchors both chains were carried away and she drifted toward the rocks. The coast guardsmen manned their lifeboat and were preparing to go to the rescue when the Rosedale stranded on the rocks and they with difficulty managed to rescue the crew by means of the rocket line. Three yachts and two coasting vessels were ashore near Greenock. Dispatches received from Ranff say t h a t the seashore for thirty miles is strewn with the wreckage of three vessels. At Grangemouth the barkentine Hetty was wrecked on the rocks, but the crew was saved. An unknown steamer was next wrecked on the Headland and soon went to pieces and seven lives were lost. Several fishing boats have been lost off the same spot. In Lough Foyle two Wrecks are reported with 12 lives lost. Many vessels sought shelter badly damaged under the lee of the high, jutting cliffs of the English channel and two vessels perished on the Goodwin Sands. The Deal life boat went to the assistance of the crew of one of these vessels but both vessels disappeared before the life boats could get alongside of them and the sailors perished. The Ramsgate fishing fleet was caught in the gale and nearly all were badly battered by the sea, two of the fleet were stranded and their crews were rescued by the life boats. The schooner Wicklasses was wrecked near Yarmouth and five of her crew were drowned while the boat lay on a ledge of rocks, pounding to pieceso in full view of thousands of spectators who were utterly unable to be of any assistance to the drowning men. It was impossible to launch the lifeboat on account of the tremendous sea dashing upon the coast, and the schooner was too far out too be reached by the rocket line. The Great Lake* «re "tiluh S*-as." The great lakes are high seas according to the construction announced by Justice Field in the I'nited States supreme court in the consideration of an act of Congress providing for the punishment of offenders on the high seas. The case was one against Robert G. Rogers who assaulted another man on a steamer in the Detroit river. Justice Field said that formerl ' e term high seas was used to designate open or enclosed waters of the ocean, but t h a t there has been a development of the term and that it does not now have the significance formerly attaching to it. The statute of the United States for the punishment of offenses on the high seas and connecting waters, he holds, was intended to all navigable waters outside the jurisdiction of any particular state. He believed it was a matter not of local name but of facts that the designation "great lakes" could hot withhold jurisdiction, where waters were open to free navigation of other countries. STILL A REPUBLIC. QUEEN MLILM O F HIAWAII NOT* YET ON T H E T H R O N E . Minister WIIUs Rather Blow In Presenting His Instructions and Cleveland's i n - tention Still a Mystery—Alleged Synopsis of Blount's lieport. The Oceanic steamer Australia has arrived at San Francisco from Honolulu and the news she brought wa$ hardly what the American people were expecting. It was almost generally believed that the ex-queen would have been restored to the thorne by the new minister to Hawaii, Willis, and that the provisional government had been overthrown. This anticipation was well grounded upon the recently published letter of Secretary Gresham which showed the present administration's feeling that it would be but justice to give the ex-queen her throne. It was therefore with considerable surprise that it was learned that Minister Willis had merely presented his credentials to the provisional government and had not even mentioned his instructions from President Cleveland. There were several Hawaiians on board the Australia and they expressed great surprise when they heard of the letter of Secretary Gresham and intimated that Minister Willis had found affairs in a differeut state than he had anticipated, and, seeing t h a t the provisional government was well prepared to hold their own against any unaided action of the royalists, had concluded to await further instructions from the United States. The steamer China had arrived a t Honolulu with Minister Willis over a week before the Australia sailed for San Francisco and but little of a definite nature had occurred in the islands. Among the passengers on the Australia vvere the ex-United States consul at Honolulu, H. M. Severance. In an interview ex-Consul Severance said: 'No one at Honolulu has heard anything about the restoration of the queen b*- ing intended by President Cleveland. There was no talk of bloodshed or resistance. In fact, so far as I have been able to learn, all the recent excitement over Honolulu affairs appears to have been stirred up in this country." The dispatches from Honolulu detailing the reception of Minister Willis by the provisional government give President Cleveland's l e t t e r introducing Mr. Willis, which reads; To His Kxcellency Sanford H. Hole, President of tiie i rovi-lonul (jovenimenr- of t h e H a w a i i a n i s l a n d s ; ( J r e a t and (ioocl Kilend— I have m a d e choice of Albert si.

V o u r good friend. U l l D V K l l lU.KVRr.ANP. The Honolulu papers were in ecstasies over the evident good will expressed toward the provisional government. The passage in President Cleveland's letter: "He will constantly endeavor to advance the interests and prosperity of bcth governments and so render himself acceptable to your excellency.'' is one which calls forth especial editorial comment, and one of the papers, the Hawaiian Star, prints the sentence for several days at the head of its editorial column in bold type, under the heading, "Good Cheer from Cleveland.''

He soon went into politics. After having held several county offices he was elected to the state legislature in 18()2. When the war broke out he was commissioned major of the Wisconsin volunteers.

The deed was done, the let* ter mailed; a little later it would be on its way to its destination in a A s l a n t Northern city. Yet, Stella felt strangely uneasy. Had she been too precipitate? Perhaps tnere was some mistake, after all. Oh, how she wished it mijfht be so; she would humble herself upon her knees before him, if she could only prove herself mistaken, Yet, it was there—in black and white before her—the evidence of his guilt. What could sh« do but believe? She went home to the pretty cottage nearby, where she had lived all her life, still with that uneasy feeling rankling in her heart, t h a t troubled expression in her gray eyes. ' doing straight to her own room, she opened her writing desk and took from it a letter—the letter which had told her of Teddy DaneV, perfidy. Teddy Dane, her own dear lover, to .'whom she was betrothed. / Far away, in his Northern home, he <%vas working for her—waiting for the day when he could claim her for his %vife. Stella was working, too, with her pen: for she was quite a successful -writer of stories for various publications, and earned a very comfortable income. So she devoted herself to her literary work, and her bank account gradually increased. For Stella was [independent, and was determined not to come to Teddy Dane's home penniless; and all her worldly possessions -consisted of the income derived from h e r writing. Teddy was so loving and tender, so t r u e and honorable, no wonder she |loved him; and if there was a little •jealous terror lurking in h e r heart, 3est some one else should learn to care sfor him also, one cannot wonder at it. 'For in all true love there lurks a spice of jealousy. It is the human element, •and since we are all poor, erring mortals, our love must partake of t h e liuman—more or less. But n o t h i n g had ever aroused the slumbering demon, jealousy within Stella's h e a r t u n t i l now. The first seed was sown now—what would the harvest be? She stood holding in her hand t h e l e t t e r which had been the cause of h e r disgust ever since its reception •that morning. This is what it said: "Miss S T E L L A LOKNK: Pardon me, a stranger, for venturing to address a word of warning to you. I understand t h a t you are .betrothed to Mr. Teddy Dane, of W . Are you aware t h a t h e is a constant visitor at Miss L a u r a Latimer's residence in Ii ? It is generally understood here that. Mr. Dane is going to marry the lady. I have been aware of this for some time, and as I have the greatest respect and admiration for you as a lady and a •writer, 1 have ventured to drop you this hint. If I have blundered in doing so, I beg your pardon. My intentions are good, and I trust you will not imagine, for a moment, t h a t my motive is otherwise than honorable. 'A word to the wise is sufficient.' "Yours very respectfully, "OSCAR SMITHSOX." Slowly, carefully did Stella L o m e read this letter ovt;r, Jier face growing very pale, her eyes tilling with tears of bitter sorrow and regret. Sorrow for her own suffering, her lost faith, lost trust, and regret that her idol should be thus rudely dethroned. For Stella could not close her eyes to the warning conveyed in Mr. Smithson's letter. She had never met the gentleman personally, out he had attended to some business matters upon several occasions, inyosting her small funds in such an advantageous manner t h a t the investments had largely increased her modest bank account. She knew t h a t he was shrewd and keen, a fine business manager, and, as far as she w a s aware, a gentleman. She felt t h a t his letter was entitled to consideration at least. For what object could he have in deliberately misrepresenting and attempting to make trouble between her and Teddy? Yes, it must be true, poor Stella •could not believe otherwise. Laura Latimer was an animated fashion f»late, a soulless woman, who deighted in angling for men's hearts, and entering into engagements, "just i o r fun;" engagements which she had not the slightest intention should culminate in marriage. She was too fond of her freedom, she was wont to say. And so she went on in her game of hearts, and more than one man hadL learned to despise her. To Stella L o m e who knew all about her, though personally a stranger, the very sound of her name was sufficient to arouse all the worst attributes of her nature. And now to read in a stranger's letter the shameful announcement of Teddy Dane's falseness seemed more than she could bear. Soon after the letter from Mr. Sraithson had arrived Stella had seated herself at her desk and there she had written a few scathing lines t o Teddy '(true and faithful, she'had always called him), and had coldly broken the engagement between them. "Mature deliberation has convinced roe that we should never be happy together." (so she wrote), "and I therefore cancel the engagement between us. You will find sweet consolation in Miss Latimer's affection (while it lasts), and I—well, no matter about me,-£9od-by." And if t h a t was not a cruel letter, then I am no judge. And now the letter was mailed; was •ftfe in Uncle Sam's letter-box, and Stella was home again. B u t somehow t h e spirit of defiance and anger which had upheld her during the entire episode, seemed to have deserted h e r now. Across her memory some words of Teddy's crept with slow and monotonous footsteps—words which he had spoken to her before he returned home. "I trust nothing on earth, circumstantial evidence or anything, will change you. I t r u s t you with my very soul." Somehow these words kept flitting through her brain, ringing like death bells; she felt strangely u n q u i e t Had she betrayed his trust? Might she not have been too precipitate, after all? " I trust you with my very soul!" The words chased her about like tormenting demons. Was she worthy of his trust? Oh, if she only had t h a t l e t t e r back from the mail-box—that cold, doubting, scornful letter! She would think twice before she would send it. But she could never get it back. She knew better than to cherish any such hopes. Once, a wild temptation assailed her to appeal to the postman—a pleasantfaced young fellow, who was never too fatigued or busy—even in his long and wearisome rounds—to offer a cheery greeting. Then she recollected the impossibility of his granting such a request, so decidedly "against orders;" and so, a t last, poor Stella resigned herself to the inevitable. The letter was gone—no doubt it was on its way, even now, to t h a t far-off Northern city; she must be resigned, andfsubmit humbly to the consequences of her own rash a c t But Stella was destined to retrieve her error in a way least expected. Ulanfting over the evening paper she saw in the list of letters "held for postage"—one addressed to the n a m e of her lover. A great hope sprang up in her heart t h a t it might be the letter; for no one else in t h a t town corresponded with him, and, in fact, Teddy was quite a stranger there. So, full of-hope, Stella hastened to the postoffice. She knew t h a t she would not be permitted to claim the letter, b u t only to affix the necessary stamp. In her a n g r / haste to mail t h e letter, which would dissolve all bonds be- Don't Forget it is BAKING POWDER that makes the delicious biscuit, griddle cake and doughnut.

BEGGED SO 1TAHD FOR THE LETTER. tween Teddy and herself, she had utterly forgotten to place a stamp upon i t Hut Stella was in luck again. The postmaster was an old friend of her dead father, and to him she told her story—all, omitting" nothing-. She beg-ged so hard to be allowed to claim possession of her letter, t h a t he smilingly consented; and so—perfectly happy—Stella carried the letter home. Once there, the first thing she did was to put it into the fire. The a she seated herself and. wrote Teddy a tender, loving letter, telling hinvof the communication which she had received from Mr. Smithson, and inclosing the letter itself to Teddy. This time she did not forget a postage stamp. The letter was hardly mailed when the postman brought her one from Teddy Daen: "Dear, I have something to tell you" (the letter said). "1 have secured a home for us at last. Such a lovely cottage here in W , and have paid for it, too. I purchased the property from Miss Laura Latimer, of B .

The snow of Saturday right came at just the right time. Bailnetf Pointer* Her tmit was fully in Jesus, How sweetly she leaned on His hreas And through His infinite mercy, Was called to the home of the blest. Our home will ever be lonely, We will miss the sweet ring of her voice. Her chair at tbe table is empty. But to die was dear Luie'B choice. We may weep o'er the tomb of our loved one, We may moisten her grave with tears: But Jesus, our merciful Shepherd, Can comfort Bis children dear.

The hitter's claims were strongly urged, it being contended that the valley was without a single state institution, but it was thought by members of the commission that the water sirpply was not of the right quaiiiy, which was an insurmountable objection. Nearly the entire afternoon wa-s consumed in listening v.. "'.ne arguments. A ballot, was finally taken to determine the views of the commission. Kx-Gov. Luce' voted tor Greenville, Sharp for Saginaw and Sherman for Lapeer. Gn the second ballot Mr. Luce voted with Sherman in favor of Lapeer, but Sharp stood by Saginaw. The latter, however, when the odds were against him. consented to the Lapeer site being selected upon condition that the >trcam of water flowing through the city should be found to be sufficient to accomodate the sewage of the institution. arid there the matter stands. 1 f the stream is too small or if there is liable to 1 e an injunction served restraining the state from using the stream for sewage, the home will doubtless go to Greenville. Lapeer gives the state MO acres of land, upon which there is a tine grove of 15 acres, and an option on ">G2 acres until ls'.i'.i, at a price not to exceed S50 an acre. It furthermore agrees to put in water mains and supply t h e home with water for five years free of charge. NEWS PARAGRAPHS OF A G E N E R A L N A T U R E IN A C O N D E N S E D FORM.

Waldron was fatally stabbed Jack Abbott in a quarrel over a store bill, a Negro left Keystone carrying a keg of whiskey and a new pair of shoes, his body was found in the woods with two bullet holes in the head; in a tight a t Kimball Jiiram Dey. white, and .Jim Hums, colored, shot each other to death. At Davis station the body of Hulda Mitchell, a respectable white woman, was found in the woods. Deering, a French barber, has been arrested and charged with the murder. K n e i n e K x p t o d e d a n d T w o K i l l e d . Kngine bo? of the Lehigh Valleyroad, drawing freight from Manchester to Sayre, Pa., exploded at Vauetton tank. Two men were blown into pieces. T w o more were seriously injured. The explosion is supposed to be to inexperienced handling of the engine by scabs who had taken strikers places The strikers' committee at Rochester, Pa., are more confident than ever. The trades and labor assembly will probably ask manufacturers here who employ union labor to desist from sending freight by the Lehigh road. H i t N a v a l H . i t t l e hi I'ro-tpert London cable: A dispatch from Rio de Janeiro says that Admiral de Mello has left Kio de Janeiro with several of his swiftest war vessels in order to intercept the new ships which are on their way from the I'nited States to reinforce President Peixoto. The dispatch adds that great excitement prevails at Rio de .Janeiro, and it is believed t h a t a great naval battle will shortly be fought off the llrazilian coast. S e v e n T r a m p s K i l l e d . A freight eastbound. No. 7", on t h e Baltimore it Ohio road, was derailed by an axle breaking on a car on a bridge near Hyndeman, Pa., eighteen miles west of Cumberland, Md. T h e bridge was completely torn down and fifteen cars were precipitated to t h e creek below. Seven tramps were buried under the wrecked cars in t h e creek below. The cars were all loaded with coal. B o y ' - I n d i a n * " T r i e d t o B u r n " C a p t i v e * , " Two boys named Willie Harvey and Thomas Wilson, aged about 15 years each, took two lads much smaller , uhan themselves to the bank of the Kalama/oo river near Otsego and proceeded to make a burnt offerir.^ of one. The lad was gagged and securely tied to a stake, a tire was kindled about his legs and his clothing had taken fire • when the other younger boy cut t h e cord and liberated his companion. This angered the two who had planned the offering and the rescuer was tied to the stake and served in t h e same ] manner. His coat had taken fire when his cries attracted help and he was rescued before he had been seriously: burned. T h e V i k i n g S h i p S a n k . Cable from Buda-Pesth says t h a t the Yiidng ship, which was on exhibition at Chicago, and which was on her return from the I'nited States to Christiania, has been wrecked in the Ray of Biscay and sunk.

Cobbs KV Mitchell have shut down both their mills for all winter and will buy ! no logs this season, though they will run a few camps in Grand Traverse county. Mitchell Brothers' mill at Jennings has also shut down for the winter, and they are operating no camps. F. A. higgins t& Company will probably shut down as soon as the logs on hand are cut. Blodgett, Cummer »fc ' Diggins are the only concern whose plant is running at its full capacity. j K i l l e d W h i l e H o n t l n j r . While four young men were hunting about five miles northwest of St. Clair Charles Smith in climbing a hill stumbled and fell across the muzzle of his gun. both barrels of which were discharged and sent their contents through his body, killing him instantly. It is certain t h a t the Dow tax on saloons in Ohio will be increased from S','50 to 3500. President Cleveland is very busy on his forthcoming message and receives no visitors. The Hawaiian matter will probably be omitted and handled later in a special message. John F. Anders, assistant cashier of the Bank of Niagara, Niagara Falls, N. Y., was discovered to be a defaulter in the sum of sr^u and when threatened with exposure committed suicide. John Boards, whiie laving pipes for a system of water works at Hillsboro, O., was instantly killed and blown to atoms by the explosion of a package of dynamite, which he was wheeling.

Cable from Berlin: An attempt has been made on the life of Chancel lor Caprivi. A box was sent to biin accompanied by a letter saving it contained a sample of a wonderful radish seed. The box was opened by those who received it. and found to contain a hammer which " a s kept down by bands of india rubber. T h e hammer was so arranged that if the box should have been opened in the ordinary way it would strike the cap of a nitro-glycerine cartridge. It has also been learned that Kmperor William received an infernal machine from Ostens similar to the one which was scut Chancellor von Caprivi. The infernal machine sent to the emperor was accompanied by a letter, j Roth letter and machine were delivered at the office at the emperor's civil cabinet, where some of tlie employes became suspicious of the contents of the box, aceidently discovered its real nature ami soon managed to render it harmless. From the postmark it was judged that both machines and letters came from Orleans. France, and the police of that place ar« in active communication with the authorities of Berlin. Chancellor von Caprivi's machine,when opened, proved to be similar to the one exploded at Spandau last summer. C o l u i u l i t i s , O., Snff rs» a s e v e r e B l a z e . The Henrietta Theater a t Columbus, O., was discovered on tire as the curtain was about to rise and the manager requested the audience to quietly retire. All passed out in order. It soon U'l'iiiue evident that the n e w Chittenden hotel, which was a portion of the same structure, would also burn. Within two hours the whole of the quarter block had been burned, entailing a hxss estimated at from SiiOO,- 000 to 8700,000. The loss of the Felix Morris company is about S',',000 on wardrobes which were burned. T h e fire takes from Columbus her best theater, her best hotel and a number of flourishing business enterprises. V i c e - P r e s i d e n t S t e v e n o o n ' * M i n e r * S t r i k e . Fifty employes of the McLean County Coal company at Bioomihgton, 111., struck on account of a cut of l:.'1* cents per diem. On account of this strike the whole force of miners were obliged to quit work because it was impossible to move coal. The men were getting $1 and the boys SI.-5. Vice-President Stevenson is president of the company and the strikers decided to appeal to him, but were unable to obtain an audience. The manager of the coal company says the reduction was abst>- lutelv necessary on account of hard times and recent fire losses. F o u r K i l l e d in a F r e i g h t C o l l i s i o n .

A GREAT historian does n o t obtain t h a t immediate recognition t h a t is accorded to t h e g r e a t orator, t h e g r e a t novelist or even the g r e a t poet. So Francis Parkman worked for years in obscurity, and even a t h i s d e a t h he was not a popular author, lit it Is more than probable t h a t he will take h i s rank, ultimately, among t h e 'great historians of t h e world. N o w t h a t t h e casualties of t h e Louisiana storm have been footed up it is found t h a t only fifty-three of t h e 2,008 victims were negroes. T h e Acadians, whom Longfellow immortalized in " E v a n g e l i n e , " outnumbered all other races, but there was a large, admixture of Austrian*. Creoles, Islingues, Italians. Manillamen, Chinese and Spaniards in t h e list of t h e dead. A MAN, so called, h a s just been «ent t o jail for four m o n t h s for having amused himself bv pouring water from a window upon a family Bleeping on ragB under a bit - of canvas. While evolution is being particularly studied i t would be interesting t o find out what jarred t h e protoplasm t h a t resulted in such a c r e a t u r e otf t h e track. I t evidently s t a r t e d o u t to be a beast with horns. T E K O A , Wash., has adopted t h e ball and chain punishment for tramps, and i t s first application is interesting. T h e t r a m p was made fast to a ball and chain and ^ put to work on the street. While his g u a r d was taking a rest the prisoner picked up the cannon ball and started to walk out of town with it. l i e was captured, however, and was penalised lor h i s attempted escape by having three balls and chains attached to him. IT is gratifying to our racial pride to learn t h a t manv of t h e crafty oriental fakirs in Midway who have been selling plasters worth four cents to the guileless American public for $3 all summer found t h a t a goodly proportion of their ill-gotten gains consisted of Confederate and extinct state bank bills when they came to "cash in." Fair exchange is no robbery, and a $0 Confederate bill is surely as valuable as a souvenir in Syria a-* a bogus Turkish plaster is as a souvenir in America. T H E St. James Budget pokes fun at We newspapers of this country because they print personal gossip concerning literary people, who are possibly quite interesting, and at least earn an honest living. Then in a succeeding column t h e Budget proceeds to detail a lot of t a t t l e about royalty, and His Nobs this and Her Nibs that, people who have not even t h e m e r i t of being interesting and for t h e most p a r t . a r e paupers, living off t h e oharity of a nation to which they a r e of no use even as ornameu ts. 1» his brave plea for justice to t h e Matabeles, a t the hands of Great Britain, Mr. Laboucheie found himself in a minority in parliament, but he is supported by t h e better sentim e n t of the English people and civilized nations generally. In a second so-called battle between t h e natives and British soldiers 1.0)0 of t h e former were mowed down with machine guns, while t h e British loss is givei* a t five. Whatever t h e pretext for eeizlng t h e Matabele territory, this wholesale slaughter of t h e natives cannot be justified on any grounds consistent with humanity. T H E discovery of poison in Boston pies is likely to shake the American Athens from Commercial street to Back Bay park. N e x t to baked beans, pie has been t h e staple on Boston bills of fare. Pio for breakfast, pie for dinner aim pio for supper, with an extra large slice as a s o r t of nightcap just before going to bed, h a s ouen the regular gastr.momio succession. The use of pie as a vehicle for t h e introdiu tion of cold poison-into the human anatomy will s h a k e Bostontan confidence, and will, as a m a t t e r of fact, cast a »ver t h e entire community. With t h e bijf number of railroad accidents which have marked t h e Columbian year t h e r e h a s been a widespread boom given to t h e a r t of t h e tattooer. There h a s been such a large percentage of unidentitied dead among those killed in the amash-ups on t h e railroads of t h e country during the past few months that i t h a s a r e m a r k a b l e effect on t h e traveling p u b l i c Men and women who a year ago would have shuadered at t h e mere suggestion of having t h e point of a tattooing needle touch their skin a r e having their names, monograms and even crests tattooed upon t h e i r bodies. And they all say t h a t they have been tattooed in 1ht» belief t h a t t h e m a r k s made by t h e needle will bo Iho best means for the indentilication of t h e i r bodies should they meet death away from their homo and friends, says the Philadelphia Record. But there is Another class of people who, caught by t h e popular fad, are having emblems of secret societies and fraternities to which they belong, mark&d upon their skin. Many of the best known college men of t h e country carry t h e insignia of their fraternity worked upon their arms. I t is among the d r u m m e r s and members of t h e theatrical profession, however, t h a t t h e tattoo man finds his greatest n u m l e r of p a t r o n s They spend a large portion of their lives in railroad cars: their danger from death in wrecks is g r e a t e r than any other class of people, excepting railroad men. postal clerks and express mes.-eng.3rs, and t h e tattooer is reaping a rich reward of coin from them. With t h e spread of t h e tattooing fad in all parts of t h e United States the work with the ink and needle has been made wall-nigh painless. | The tattooing a r t has kept step with the march of progress in other directions and a brand-new method of puncturing t h e skin has taken the place of the old; Instead of t h e laborious work of early days an electric tattoo machine has been invented. Where it r e h i r e d an hour in t h e old-fashioned way to tattoo a namo or a figure, the electric machine docs it in a few minutes. T h e inventor of the. machine is in the city, and lately he chatted interestingly of tattooing in general and the prevalent craze in particular. He is Professor O-'Riley, probably the best known tattooer in either t h e I'nited States or (ireat Britain. Many of the most noted tattooed men .and women who have been on exhibition on both sides of the Atlantic are examples of his skill. " I have tattooed thousands of persons, both in this country and Kngland," he said, " b u t at present the craze exceeds anything I have ever exprriene. d during the last twenty years. Most people believe that only sailors and a vulyar class in general have tattoo marks put upon them. That is true in many instances, but by far the largest number of those that I am tattooing now are men and women of intelligence and refinement. T h e only explanation that I can make for this is that the danger of being buried among the unknown dead in case of a railroad, steamboat or other accident has been so strangely emphasized during the past year that men and women who travel much very wisely have the needles and ink place sure identic fication marks upon their bodies. "Many of those tattooed, the ladies especially, have t h e work done with artistic surroundings. Men generally want to bo tattooed on the arms, while t h e women almost invariably have t h e decoration placed on the lower limb. I recently tatooed a serpent in brilliant colors around the leg of one of the best known comic opera prima donnas of the country. It bears her name in delicate letters. Another popular actress had me place a garter in vivid hues below the kneo of her left leg and tattoo upon it 'Tom.' t h e name of h e r sweetheart, and one of t h e most prominent juvenile men in the profession. j "I tattooed the insignia of Delta ' Kappa Epsilon, one of the strongest of college fraternities, upon tho a r m of almost every member of the society. George Gould is one of the ' young men upon whose arm I placed i the symbol of tho fraternity. " j •"Almost every day I put secret society mat*ks on the arms of patrons. ' Two months ago I was surprised by ! a call from a tramp. He wanted a p e c u l i a r mark by which he was known to knights of the road tattooed in the I palm of his right hand." ' !

He had a vague idea that Irish men and ^ornen were a kind of savages who inhabited a barren island on the wild Atlantic, and ran about half-naked among the rocka. "Yes, but these girls have never been In Ireland. They were educated in a convent near Bruges. They are young ladies, pious, well-conducted, although they work for their daily bread. Durand, my neighbor, the yountr. cabinet-maker, is over head and ears in love with the elder si.iter, and 1 think there wlU be a marriage before l o u g . \ „^m • "Durand! What, the sturdy broad-shouldered youth at No. 7, who whistles aadsiugd 60 loud as he go.'s in and out?" "Yes; a tine frank nature." "Noisy enough, in all conscience," said iiaston; and he went on to get his breakfast. lie was in no humor for conversation this morniiii?, and Suzou Michel's prattle bored liim. Hi' lead, or seemed to be reading, the Fi{mro while she was talking—a rudeness which galled Die widow. "Do you know those two young ladles in the Kue Git le t'ceur, the house I live in?" lie asked presently, without looking up from his paper. "Young ladies!" echoed Snzon contemptuously. "A gentleman may live in the line Oit le Coeur, a gentleman may live anywhere, that is understood; but young ladies —that is too much ! I know two girls who vrork for the ariifk-ial flower-maker on the Boulevard St. Germain." "They are ladies by birth and education, I am told." "They are stuck-up minxes; and although that young one has come to my shop every day for the last six years she does not think me worthy of five minutes' conversation; a little nod and ''lion-jour, madame," and ehe's out of my shop as if she thought the place polluted her." "She is shy, perhaps," said Gaston. "I should not think she could be proud-" Suzon looked at him sharply with those flashing eyes of hers—tine eyes, full, black, luminous, but not altogether beautiful. "What does monsieur know of this young person that he is so ready to answer for her'.'" She asked, with a mocking air. "Very little. I passed her in the street Just now. I doubt if I ever saw her till that moment, though we live in the same house. Some faces can be read at a glance. In hers I saw purity, sweetness, truth, simplicity." "My faith! You are skillful at reading faces!" retorted Madame Michel; "but it is easy to see virtues of that kind in a pretty woman. Had Ma'mselle Hara been ugly you would not have discovered half these qualities in her face." "They might have been there, perhaps; but I own I should not have looked so keenly. She is the image of a Greuze in the Louvre. You know the picture in the Louvre?" "Not much," said Suzon, with a careless Shrug. "Why, you go there nearly every Sunday afternoon." "True; but I go to look at the people, not the pictures." Gaston paid for his breakfast, and-strolled on to his newspaper-office, thinking that Suzon grew more vulgar every day. He was vexed with himself for having allowed her to establish a kind of friendship with him. She! the keeper of a milk shop! "And to think that I come from one of the best fnmilies in Brittany," he said to himself. "Well, I have thrown my lot in with the people. I have made myself their advocate; I have asserted the equal rights of man. Ought I to feel offended if a milk woman treats me as her friend? A handsome woman, too; bright, agreeable, not without Intieiigenee.and full of strong feeling. Poor little Suzon!" Poor little Suzon! Gaston began to lessen his visits to the cranerle. He took a cup of coffee in the garret, and went straight to his day's work. lie was too busy to breakfast in the old leisurely manner, he told Madame Michel, wlien she reproached him With this failing off from the old ways. "Have I done anything to offend you?" she asked, looking at him with eyes which took a new beauty, softened by sadness. "Offend me, dear Madame Michel I But assuredly not. You are all that is good. But I am working hard just now. It does not do for a niau*o saunter through life, to be always a trifler. 1 have, a good def 1 to do for the paper; and I spend an hour or two every day at the Imperial Library." "If you are getting a learned man I shall see no more of you," sighed the widow. "You will not be able to endure my ignorant chatter." "Gaiety of heart is delightful at all times," said Gaston. "I begin to think that monsieur must be writing verses, he has grown so grave and silent," remarked Suzon. And then they parted, with ceremonious politeness on his side, with keen scrutiny and suspicion on hers. Monsieur was not writing verses, but he was living a poem. Maman Schubert, the good-natured busybody of the Kue Git le C'oeur, had planned a little tea-party—unthe a VAnglaUe—and had invited the two O'Hara girls—known in their little circle as the Demoiselles Hnra, sii>ce the 0 was too much for a Parisian mouth—and Philip Durand, the cabinet-maker,an honest young fellow, a thorough workman and artist, in a very artistic trade.and a prominent member of theworkmen'ssyndicatejandthecabinet- , makers' syud cate ranks high among the so- I cleties of French workmen. So far the party , consisted of old friends, since good Madame j Schubert had been almost asa mother to the girls whom she had seen arrive In the Kife Git j le Cceur,dustyand bewildered-tooking.on the I evening of their entry into Paris, and Pnllip l had been Rose's devoted lover for the last ] three years.hauntiug her like her shadow as '> she went to and from her work,in the early ; mornings when PurLs was being swept and garnished, in the dusky evenings when its million lamps were being lighted. Never was there a more unselfish, a more patient wooer. Pone had been hard with him;Rose had kept him at arm's length. She never meant to many. She had her mission In life; and that mission vras to take care of Kathleen. "Will you be less able to guard her when 700 hate a strong wan to help you?" asked FhTllp. "Do you suppose I slfall grudge her a room In our lodgings, a place at our table? She will be my sister as much as yours, and as dear to me as to you." 'That cannot be. She is more than a sister to me. She Is the one love and care of my life. Work would lose all its sweetness if I did not know I was working for her as well as for myself. 1 am sure you are good and generous. 1 daresay you would be kind to her; but you might grow weary of her; bad times might come, and you might think her a burden. 1 will run no risks. I should feel as if I were giving her a stepfather." "And have you made up your mind never to marry?" "Never, while Kathleen is single. If she were well married it might be different." "Then it shall be my business to find her a good husband," said Philip. "With such a pretty girl there can be no difficulty." But Philip Durand was a poor hand at match-making. While he was thinking about the business, and wondering which of the men lie rubbed shoulders with at the workmen's chamber was worthy to mate withlio.se O'Hara's sister, Madame Schubert, who was an incorrigible schemer in the matrimonial line, had brought Kathleen face to face with the man whom Fate meant for her husband. The fourth guest and only stranger at Madame Schubert's English tea was Gaston Mortemar; and that evening completed Kathleen's conquest. He was her adorer and her slave from that hour. It seemed to him as if all life took new colors after that evening. The leopard cannot change his spots all at once;but the leopard's ways and manners may be considerably influenced; and although Gaston was still Voltairian in his way of thinking, still a leveler in politics, lie worked more earnestly and more honestly than he had ever done before; for he had assumed the responsibility of winning a bright future for Kathleen O'Hara. The wooing and winning were easily done, for the girl's young heart went out to him as Gretchen's to Faust, A little walk on the bridge in the summer twilight, a flower or two—bought in the dower-market, but cherished as if it were a blossom of supernal growth—a chance meeting in the sunny morning,when Kathleen was marketing, and these two were pledged to each other for life. But Rose was terribly wise. She seemed the very spirit of worldliness, and she refused her consent to an imprudent marriage. When Gaston had saved a little money, and could earn, say, three napoleons a week—which was less than the skilled cabinet-maker earned—Kathleen should be his wife; not sooner. Gaston was earning on an average two napoleons weekly, and there was not much margin for saving out of that. Hitherto he had found himself just able to live, clothe himself like a gentleman,and keep out of debt And to do even this he had been thrifty and self-denying. But what will not love do? He became as sparing as Pere Grandet; except when he wanted to Offer a little pleasure, a theatre or a cafe ' chantant, to the sisters. inch offers were but rarely accepted. Rose watched Kathleen like a lynx, and allowed few tcte-a-tetcs between the lovers, Never was girlish simplicity guarded more c.osely from all peril of pollution. But, once in a way, this severe damsel relented so far as to allow the two lovers to organise an evening's dissipation; and it was on one of these occasions, almost immediately after Kathleen's engagement, that Suzon Michel saw Gaston and his sweetheart together for the first time. It was a sultry August evening, the Seine shining in the golden light of the western sky, the air heavy with heat. Durand and Gaston had bought tickets fur the side-boxes at the Ambigu, where a new play, by Dumas the younger, was being acted, to the delight of all Paris—or, at least, that inferior and second-rate Paris which had not migrated to fashionable watering-places and mountain springs. Kathleen and Gaston walked armin- arm along the quay, so engrossed in each other as to be quite unconscious of passersby. Faces came and went beside them, voices sounded; but it was all dim as the sounds and faces in a dream. They lived, they saw, they heard, they breathed only for each other. Close behind them came Rose and her faithful swain; and Rose, even in her tenderest moments, was mindful of her sister. She was fond and proud of her stalwart, good-looking workman-lover, who was so fine a specimen of his rank and race, as much a gentleman by nature as Gaston Mortemar was a gentleman by hereditary instinct; but she was not lifted off this dull earth by her love. As they walked towards the Pont Neuf, with their faces to the west and the sun shining on them, Suzon Michel met them. She saw them ever so far off; the tall slight figure of the man, whose look and bearing she knew so well; the golden-haired girl at his side, radiant and lovely in her plain alpaca gown, and neat little black lace bonne. t, with clusters of violets nestling between the lace and her sunny hair—those violets which the auburn-haired Empress loved so well. Suzon slackened her pace as they drew near her. He would recognise her, of course —the false-hearted one; and speak her fair, albeit he had broken her heart by Ms coldness and ingratitude. He would stop, the audacious one, and brazen out hlstreacheiy, and make light of his heartlessness. But Gnston walked on without seeing her. He passed her by. unconscious of her presence, his eyes bent with impassioned love upon the pure pale face beside him, his lips breathing softest words. Snzon drew aside, and stood upon the pavement, looking after them with diabolical hate in her face. Rose saw that look, and clutched Philip Durand's arm. VDid you see that woman looking after my sister—the woman at the crcmtTief she asked. But Philip had been too much absorbed in his betrothed to have eyes for the divers expressions of the passers by. He was full of gladness, thankfulness for hi3 lot. He had been eminently successful as a craftsman, had won a medal for a piece of fine workmanship^ in the Exhibition of '76; he j was looked upon as a leading light in the I syndicate, ami the dearest woman in the world had promised to be his wife. Now that Kathleen was engaged there was no more difficulty. So soon a* Gaston was in a fair way to maintain a wife, the two couples would be united. j The evening at the Ambigu was enchant* j a e n t ; but both girls refused the luxury of ices at Tortonl*". Hovr were lovers to be thrifty if their betrothed were ready to aeecpt costly attentions? Besides, as they passed the famous confectioner's, Rose caught sight of a couple of carriages setting down some ladies and their eavaJiers at a side door, and those painted faces and rustling silks belonged to a world from which Rose O'Hara recoiled as from a pestilence. So they all walked home in the August moonlight, talking of the play, and were safe in the Rue Git le Coeur before midnight. Rose did not forget that look of Madame Michel's. Her intense affection for Kathleen made her suspicious of Kathleen's lover. Such a look as-that in. a young woman's face could but have one meaning. It meant jealousy; and there coald hardly be jealousy without cau.se. The look suggested a history, and Rose set herself to find out that history. S ie consulted Madame Schubert, the one friend whom she could trust in so delicate a matter, and! the good Schubert was r»ot long in enlightening her. One does not live in such a place as the Ruo Git le Coeur for live-and-twenty years without knowing a good deal about one's neighbors. "Yes, my dear, there is no doubt this dear Mortemar had ouee a tenderness for the Michel. He used to breakfast at her shop every morning—a leisurely breakfast,during which those two talked—ah, great Heaven, how they talked! one could hardly get properly served while he was there. And he danced with l*er in the winter at the Bullier balls, and he usod to take her to the theatre. Friends of mine saw them there, as happy as turtle-doves. But what of that? A man must sow his wild oats; and Gaston is not the less fond of your sister because he has played fast and loose with the Michel." "My sister shall not marry a man who has played fast and loose with any woman," said Rose. "That is rank nonsense," answered Maman Sci.ubert. "Mark my words, Rose; if you try to part those two, you will break Kathleen's heart." "Better her heart should be broken than by a bad husband," said Rose. "He will not make a bad husband. Do you think a man is any the worse for a flirtation or two in his bachelor days? That is the way he learns the meaning of real love." Rose was not easily appeased. She saw Gaston next day, and taxed him with his dishonorable conduct to the widow. He was indignant at the charge, and declared that there had never been anything serious between them. She had been attentive to him as a customer at her crcmerie; he had been civil to her—that was all. The visits to the theatre meant no more than civility. 'There was something more than civility on her part, and I think you must have known it," answered Rose, intensely in earnest. "If you knew-nt and fooled her, you are not a good true man; and you shall not marry my sister." Gaston protested against this absurd decree: but finally admitted that he had been to blame. Yes, perhaps he had known that Madame Michel was just a little taken with him, inclined to like his society, and to be Jealous and angry when he deserted hex shop. The shop was convenient; the woman was handsome and amusing. Why should not a man who was heart-whole.who had not one real woman-friend in the word, talk and laugh with a pretty shopkeeper? It could do no harm. "It has done harm. I saw «3 much in Madame Michel's face the other evening." And then she told Gaston the story q£,.that encounter on the quay. "Mademoiselle Rose, you exaggerate the situation. The Michel has a spice of the devil in her, and can giv« black looks on very slight provocation. For the rest, she and I have seen the la>t of each other. I have never crossed the threshold since I was betrothed to Kathleen;! never shall cross it airain." "Promise me that," said Rose. "I promise, from my heart.'' This happened in the year '09; and now it was midsummer in the fateful year '70, a id France was treading daily, step by step, nearer the edge of the abyss. C H A P T E R l y . THE SONG OP VICTORY. It was at the beginning of August, Just after the victory of S.irrehruck, and while Paris was (stirred »nd thrilled with dreams of conquest, and ail a-flutter with warlike feeling, that the two sisters were married in the cathedral of Notre Dame, on a sunshiay Saturday morning. There was no finery at this wedding, no train of friends, Madame Schubert; a young Journalist and playwright who wrote foi Mortemar's paper; a middle-aged graybearded artist, who had painted plaques for some of Durand's cabinet-work—these were the only guests. The little procession walked across the bridge in the morningsunlight, the sisters dressed alike in gray cashmere, with white bonnets, and each wearing a cluster of white roses at her throat Nothing could hi simpler or less costly than thii wedding toilet, yet both brides were charming; neatness, purity, nrndest cqntentmenl with humble fortunes, were all expressed ia their bearing and costume.

Cutler, has arrived at I'ort Townsend, Wash., from Honolulu, with advices to Nov. ao, four days after the steamer Alameda sailed for San Francisco. In an interview published in the Evening Star, Minister Willis is reported to have said: "You are authorized to state that no change in the present situation will take place for several weeks. I brought with me certain instructions from the United States government on the Hawaii situation. Since my arrival contingencies have .arisen about which neither the United States government nor myself were aware when I left Washington. I have thought best, in exercise of the discretion allowed, to submit those mutters to Washington before proceeding further to carry out my original instructions. No one need fear trouble and no lawlessness will be permitted.'.' Capt. Cutler in an interview said: "Minister Willis told me he was surprised to meet so many broad-minded, lawabiding and thoroughly.intelligent people in Hawaii. Willis, who is religiously inclined, to a considerable extent associated with the missionary elements in the islands and came in contact with the ablest, most of whom are strongly opposed to the restoration of the monarchy and especially the queen, on account of her supposed unchaste conduct. This class of citizens were careful to see that Willis was correctly informed of certain facts that iilouut did not chose to consider."

Til riff l l e f o n i i . After a h a r d stmpwle, tariff reform is directly before us. N o t h i n g so i m p o r t a n t claims our a t t e n t i o n and n o t h i n g so clearly presents itself a s both a n opp o r t u n i t y and a duty—an o p p o r t u n i t y to deserve the g r a t i t u ' • of our fellow-citizens a n d a duty imposed upon us by our oft-repeated professions and by the e m p h a t i c m a n d a t e of the people. After full discussion our c o u n t r y m e n h a v e spoken in favor of this reform, and they h a v e confided the work of its accomp l i s h m e n t to the h a n d s of those who a r e solemnly pledged to it. If t h e r e Is a n y - t h i n g in the theory of a r e p r e s e n t a t i o n in public places of the people and their desires, if public officers are really t h e s e r v a n t s ot the people, and if political promises and professions have a n y binding force, our failure to give the relief so long waited will be sheer recreancy. Nothing should i n t e r v e n e to d i s t r a c t our a t t e n t i o n or disturb our effort until this reform is accomplished by wise a n d careful legislation. While we should s t a n c h l y adhere to the principle that only t h e necessity of r e v e n u e justities the imposition of tariff d u t i e s and other federal taxation, a n d t h a t they should be limited by strict economy, we c a n n o t close our eyes to t h e fact t h a t conditions have grown up a m o n g us which in justice and fairness call for discrimin a t i n g care in the distribution of su-e4» duties and taxation a s the emergencies of the government a c t u a l l y demand. M a n i f e s t l y , if we a r e to aid the people directly through tariff reform, one of the t h r o u g h tariff reform, one of its most obvious features should be a reduction in present tariff c h a r g e s upon the necessaries -of life. The beiielits of such a reduction would be palpable and s u b s t a n - tial, seen and felt by t h o u s a n d s who would be b - t t e r fed and better clothed and better sheltered. These gifts should be the willing benefaction of a government whose highest fun* tion is the promotion of the welfare of m e people. Not less closely related to our people's prosperity and well-being Is the removal of restrictions upon the importation of t h e r a w m a t e r i a l s necessary 10 our m a n u f a c - t u r e s . The world should be open to our national ingenuity and enterprise. This c a n n o t be while federal legislation, t h r o u g h the imposition of high tariff. ! forbids to Ameriea.11 m a n u f a c t u r e r s a s cheap m a t e r i a l s as t h o s " used by their c o m p e t i t o r s . It is quite obvious t h a t t h e e n h a n c e m e n t of the price of our m a n u - factured products resulting from this policy not only eoniine.s the m a r k e t for these products within our own borders, to the d i s a d v a n t a g e of nur m a n u f a c t u r e r s , but also increases cheir o,>st to our cit- • izens. The interests of labor are certainly, though indirectly, involved in this feature of our tariff s y s t e m . T h e s h a r p competition a n d active struggle a m o n g our m a n u f a c t u r e r s to supply the limited d e m a n d for their goods, soon lill the n a r r o w m a r k e t to which they are confined. Then follows a suspension of work in mills and factories, a discharge of employes, and d i s t r e s s in the homes of j our workingmen. E v e n if the often dis- ' proved assertion could""Be m a d e good ' t h a t a lower r a t e of w a g e s would result from free raw m a t e r i a l s and low tariff duties, the intelligence of our worKingmen leads them quickly to discover t h a t t h e i r steady employment, permitted by free r a w materials-', is the most importa n t factor in their relation to tariff legls- ' latlon. A m e a s u r e h a s been p r e p a r e d by the a p p r o p r i a t e congressional committee embodying t a r i n reform on the lines h e r e - in suggested, winch will be promptly s u b - mitted for legislative action. It is t h e result of much p a t r i o t i c and unselfish ' work, and I believe it deals with its s u b - ject consistently a n d thoroughly, as existing conditions p e r m i t . I a m satisfied t h a t the m i n c e d tariff duties provided for in the proposed legislation, added to existing internal r e v e n u e taxation, will, in the near future, though p e r h a p s not immediately, produce sufficient r e v e - n u e to meet the needs of t h e g o v e r n m e n t . The committee, a f t e r full consideration and provision a g a i n s t a t e m p o r a r y deficiency which m a y exist before t h e business of the c o u n t r y a d j u s t s itself to the new tariff schedules, h a v e wisely e m - b r a c e d in their plan a few additional int e r n a l revenue taxes, including a small t a x upon incomes derived from c e r t a i n c o r p o r a t e i n v e s t m e n t s . T h e new a s s e s s m e n t s a r e not only at>* solutely just and easily borne, but t h e y h a v e th£ further m e r i t of being s u c h a s can be remitted w i t h o u t u n f a v o r a b l e business d i s t u r b a n c e s whenever the necessity of their Imposition no longer exists. In my g r e a t desire for the success of this m e a s u r e , l c a n n o t r e s t r a i n the belief t h a t a revolution can only bo a t t a i n e d by m e a n s of counsel OTi the ^">rt of th« friends of tariff reform, and as a result of their willingness to s u b o r d i n a t e personal desires and a m b i t i o u s to th* general good.

At first the life-saving crew went to her, but the captain declined assistance and sent for men to jettison the cargo. The boat was lying easy on sandy bottom and in no danger, but the wind shifted and blew a gale. The crew of the Wheeler signalled for the life-saving crew to take them off. The sea was washia-j clear over the , boat. The life-saving crew .launched their boat off the ice banks which lined the shore, and made two trips landing them all in safety.

They were a quarter of an hour too aoon; and Philip Durand, who loved the grand old pile with the artist's ardent love of line artistic work, walked In the shadowy aisles with his painter friend, and expatiated upon the beauties of the building, while Rose walked by his sidn, proud of her lover's learning and enthusiasm. Kathleen and Gaston waited nearer the .ftltar, the girl kneeling with bent head and hidden face, deep in prayer; the lover sitting: near, dreamily watcliiug the graceful figure In soft er.iy drapery, touched with glintings of colored light from the old stained windows. There were no other weddings at that particular hour on that particular morning. These two couples and their friends had the mighty fane ail to themselves. As the clock struck ten the or#an began to peal, and the priests came slowly towards the altar in their rich vestments—for the vestments worn upon the humblest occasions at Notre Dame are splendid—and the ceremonial began. All was over in less than half an hour, and Kathleen and her sister went back into the sunshine, out of the gray shadows, the magical lights from painted glass, the glory of gold, and splendor of chromatic color. "L* tha't all'."' asked Kathleen, looking up ftthvr lover-husband. "Am 1 really and truly your wife?'' "Really ami truly; and you would have linen just as truly my wife if we had never gone further than the mairie." "No, no, Gaston; for then Heaven would have no part in our marriage." "My sweetest, 1 am content that yon should be content. Women love old-world fancies." There was a stand of carriages in front of the church. Philip Durand hailed two of them, and the wedding-party got in. The two bridegrooms had planned the day between them. They were to breakfast at the restaurant in the Place de la Bourse, chosen for the sake of its winter-trarden, which gave an air of prettiness to the sordid fact of dinner. And just now, too, in this time of anxiety and ferment, the Bourse was the central point of Paris, where one could always hear the latest news. Just now Paris lived on tip-toe, as it were, palpitating, thrilling with the expectation of great victories— an Austerlitz, a Jena; the news might be flashed along the wires at anymoment^ of the day or night. The telegraph1 clerks were waiting, fingers itching to record the triumph of Gallic arms. No one thought of Waterloo. The bridal-party drove across the rivpr, past the Louvre, into the Rue de Rivoli. What meant this new life and movement in the streets—men running to and fro, women standing in little groups, laughing, crying, hats waved in the air—the wild excitement of a race-course? "One would think our happiness had driven all the world out of their wits," said Gaston, with his arm round his wife's slim waist There was only Madame Schubert with them in the carriage. She had insisted on • taking the back seat, and sat smiling benignly on the happy lovers. The coachman turned round and shouted to them as he rattled his horse over the broad space in front of the Theatre Francais. The pavement before the cafes was crowded with the usual loungers, smoking, talking, drinking; only the talk and the laughter was louder than usual, the crowd was denser, the a^f was full of electricity. victory 1''shouted the driver, looking rolmd at his fare, and cracking his whip ferociously; "a groat victory! MacMahon has made mincemeat of those Prussian dogs!" "A victory, and on our wedding-day!" oxclaimed Kathleen joyously; and then the sweet sensitive face clouded suddenly, and she said, "There can be no victory without soldiers slain. Many hearts of wives and mothers will be mourning to-day amidst all this joyousness. 0 Gaston, how thankful 1 ought to be that you were past the age for service 1" "True, dearest, I am better off here than with the Moblots; but if the National Guard were called out I should have to shoulder my musket." "But not to leave Paris," said Kathleen, nestling closer to him; "and there can be no fighting in Paris." "Heaven forbid! No, love; one or two victories, and Prussia will give us whatever terms we ask. What can a herd of Huns and Vandals do against the fine flowers of our army, the heroes of Magenta and Solferino, the graybeards of Alma and Algiers?" They drove along the Rue Vivienne. The narrow street was all in commotion; people at the shop-doors, people at the upper windows; a Babel of voices, a shrill uproar of laughter and exclamation. But in the Place de la Bourse, and on the boulevard beyond, the excitement culminated. It was the fever of Epsom when the Derby has just been won—the stir and tumult of Doneaster at the crowning moment of the Leger; and yet a deeper and stronger fever, fortius had the awfulness of life and death. Vie-tory, yes; but where? Which of the armies was.it—MacMahon's or Bazaine's? Or was it the two armies which had crushed the Prussian forces between them—which had met and joined, like two living walls, deadly, invincible, squeezing out the life-of the enemy? Everyone was asking questions, every one answering, stating, counter-stating, denying; but in this tumult of statement and counter-statement there was a difficulty in arriving at any positive fact, except the one all-inspiring fact that there had been a tremendous victory on the French side. Flaes were flying at all the windows—flag? produced as if by enchantment; and here came an open carriage slowly through the mob—pie carriage of a famous opera-singer. In anuistant it was stopped, surrounded by that surging sea of humanity; and the Diva stood up in her carriage at the entreatynay, almost the command—of the public, to king the "Marseillaise." The glorious finely-trained voice Tolled out the soul-stirring words, the notes rising bird-like and clear in the summer air, float* iftfiptotho summer sky; and then fifty thousand voices, the deep rough tones of an excited populace, burst forth in the chorus, like human thunder. Impossible to resist the magnetism of that passionate patriotism. The eyes of strong men grew dim, womeo sobbed hysterically. France, la belle France —she had been in peril perhaps; yes, strong though she was, there was never war without peril; but she was saCe—safe, trlum* phant, glorious, with her foot upon the enemy's neck. Alas, to think how the Gallic cock crew and flapped his wings during that offe wild hour! The bridal-party pushed their way into the Restaurant Chanip!;aux. Under the glass roof, in the covered flower-garden, there was such a mob that it was very difficult to get a small table in a corner, and a waiter who would cease from hurrying to and fro to take an order from the newcorners. Every one- was celebrating the victory with irood cheer of some kind. Champagne corks were flyln?, plates clattering, spoons and forks jingling, and everywhere rose the same din of voices. Purand and Mortemar contrived, by strenuous exertions, to secure a bottle of champagne and another of borbeaux, a poulet {\m* and a Chateaubriand, some fruit, cheese, salads and the wedding-party breakfasted merrily amid <t the din, squeezed together in their corner, stiilingly hot under the burning glass roof and in the crowded atmosphere. But who would not be happy on a wedding-day, and in the hour of victory? They sat at the little table for more than an hour, nearly half of which time had been wasted in waiting; and when they went out again it seemed to Durand's keen eye as if a change had come over the spirit of the crowd outside. There were only about half the people, and faces were graver —some faces of business men looking even perplexed and troubled; voices less loud; no more hats thrown into tiie air, no more laughter. The rest of the bridal-party were too much absorbed in each other to note this change In the public temper. The carriages were waiting to take them to the Buttes Chaumont, where it had been decided to spend the afternoon. They were to go back to a dinner, which Madame Schubert and Rose had planned between them, in Madame Schubert's apartment, which was spacious and splendid in the eyes of the dwellers in Git le Cceur. Durand and Mortemar had wished to give a dinner at some popular restaurant—au Moulin Rouge, for instance; but the women had set their faces against such extravagance. Rose argued that it was a sin to squander money on eating and drinking. She had heard that at such places a napoleon was charged for a single dish, a franc for a pear or a peach; yes, when peaches were to be had for three or four sous at the street-corners. So Maman Schubert and Rose had held grave consultations, and had gone marketing together on the eve of the wedding; and now, while they were driving merrily towards the Place de la Bastille, the duube a la Provcna.de was simmering slowly on the little charcoal stove in la Schubert's tiny kitchen. The petite fours from the confectioner's in the Rue du Bac were ready in the doll's-house larder, and the dinner-table was out with its fruit and flowers and golden-crusted loaves of finest bread, and bottles of innocent Medoc, ready for the feast. The excitement of the good news pervaded Paris. The Rue St. Antoine, the Place de la Bastille, were alive with idlers. They drove by the long dreary RuedelaRoquette, past the prison-walls, away to Menifmontant and Belleville, where the honest harmless working population, the blue blouses and w hite muslin caps, were all astir in the sunshine—a seething crowd. There was a kind of fair on the Boulevard, Saturday and Sunday fair—swings and roundabouts, and a juggler or two—all merry in the white August dust, under the hot blue sky. They drove through narrow old streets on the top of the hill—dusty, crowded, unwholesome, wretched dwellings;a truculent rabble, blue blouses, white night caps, everywhere; queer little wine-shops, queer little eating-houses, an intolerable odor of petit hleue and absinUie. simsc, a tumult of harsh voices—and so to the wonderful gardens, the green valleys and Alpine crags, the blue lakes and Swiss summer-houses, and Grecian temples of the old, old quarries that have been made into a pleasure-ground for the-people of Paris; surely the prettiest, gayest, most picturesque playground that ever a tyrant gave to his slaves. Let us call him a tyrant, now that lie is asleep in his English grave, and all the good he did for the Paris he loved so well is appropriated by new masters, his name obliterated from all things which his brain devised and his enterprise created. The wedding-party drove in by the gate that had admitted so many brides and bridegrooms, smart and smiling, in their new clothes, their new bliss. They drove a little way into the grounds, and then alighted, and climbed one of the Alpine promontories, and looked down upon the gay scene beneath. Never was a more joyous crowd beneath a brighter sky, amidst a fairer landscape. It seemed as if all Paris was taking holiday. The verdant valley was a palpitating mass of blue blouses, white caps, parti- colored raiment,brightened here and there by the uniform of a scrgcnt de ville. One could hardly see the greensward, so dense was this muster of human beings. The chalets were crowded with customers; lenV onade, syrups, coffee, ices. Bavarian beer, were being consumed wholesale. Mothers and children, fathers, sweethearts: Paris was all here en fiimillr,, all elated at the great news, somewhat vague at present But Gaston and his.young wife went higher and higher, seeking some solitary spot beyond this holiday throng, and at last found a hill upon which vegetation was wilder and more romantic, and where they were alone for a little while, looking down upon Paris lying in an oval basin at their feet, a city of white houses and church towers, domes and statues, girdled with gardens, flashing with fountains, the beautiful river winding through the white streets and quays like a broad blue ribbon, touched witk gleams of gold. "Is it not a noble city?" asked Gaston, proud of his birthplace, the only home he had ever known. Yonder to their left, on the i'opeofthe hill, lay the cemetery, crosses and columns, Egyptian sepulchres, Roman temples, glittering whitely in the sun, amidst a tangle of summer foliage. "Shall we be there, among the lines, when our life is over, I wonder?" mused Kathleen. "Perhaps you will have a tomb like BaUac's or Mussel's. Who knows?" T "Who knows, indeed, dearest? I have been earning my bread by my pen for the last ten years, and do not find myself any nearer the fame of a Balzac than when I began. Yet who knows what I may do now 1 have you to work for? Balzac had a long time to wait. Fame comes in an hour sometimes. And of late, inspired by thoughts of you, I have nursed the dim idea of a novel, as I tramped backwards and forwards to the office. Yes, I believe 1 have a fancy which, worked out faithfully, might hit the Parisians. But a journalist is the drudge of literature. Ail his faculties are the slaves of a tyrannical master, whose name is To-day. He must think only of the present, write only for the present. He must harbor neither memories of the past nor dreams of the future. If Shakspeare and Goethe had written for the papers we should have neither Faust nor Haintet." "But you will not always have to work for the papers?" "Who can tell? I must be at work early to-morrow to write a description of that scene on the Bourse for the Monday number." "If I could only help you!" sighed Kathleen. "You do help me, dearest You have helped me to nobler ambitions, to purer hopes. You liavo made me work with higher purpose, with steadier aim. You are the good spirit of my life," , "Tell me about your story," she said, "the story you have in your mind." "It is all about love—and you. I will tell you nothing. But some day I shall contrive to write it, between whiles, between paragraph and paragraph, leader and leader, and I shall get a publisher to produce it, under a numi de phmie, and the book shall be the talk of Paris; and you shall read it with smiles and tears, and you shall say, "O Gaston, what a painter, what a poet, what an inspired dreamer this man must be! 1 only wish I knew who he is, that I misht worship him.'* And I shall say, "Worship me, love. I am the poet and th«» dreamer; and you are my only Egeria." He looked like a poet, as he lay athei feet on the sun-burnt sward, his eyes gazing dreamily over the city in the valley—dreamily away towards Mount Valerian and the fortifications on the other side of Paris. They loitered away the long summer afternoon in serenest contentment, In deep Inexpressible bliss. It seemed to them as if life were henceforward perfect. They had nothing left to desire—except, perhaps, on Gaston's side, fame and wealth, in a remote dream-like future. Kathleen had no desire to be rich. Poverty had never hurt her; except in that one sad time, when her sister was ill. And now she had a little money, put away in a secret place, against any such evil hour. Poverty had no flavor of bitterness for this easily satisfied nature. Sh« rose as gaily as a lark; she went about hex little duties singing for very joyousness. Her humble fare was sweetened by her contented spirit. Her humble home was beautified by all those little arts which endeai lowly rooms to the dweller. And now, to begin life anew, on the same third floor, in the Rue (lit le Cceur, with her lover-husband, wa* like the crowning bliss on the last page of a fairy tale. The streets were very quiet, and had a somewhat gloomy look as the weddingparty drove back to Git le Cceur; but they were all too happy, too much engrossed by their own bliss, to remark the change that had come over the aspect of the city. Nr more flags, no more cheering, no mof*«ong of triumph. "I wonder they did not Illuminate some of the public buildings," said Durand, as they passed the Palais de Justice. Not a festival lamp twinkled in the August .sundown; not a star f colored light sparkled on all the length the quays; not a rocket shot up above the estnuts in tin Gardens of the Tuileries. Paris wore hei every-day aspect. However elated the city had been this morning, she was taking he triumph soberly to-night. The little dinner in the Ruo Git le Ccem was a great success. The feast was held in Madame Schubert's apartment, and that kindiy matron presided at the banquet Never was there a merrier meal; voices all mingling now and then in a joyous tumult of speech—voices low and sweet deep and resonant—and ripples of happy laughter; a frequent clinking of glasses, and anecdotes and calcmbors. Gaston's friend the Journalist turned out a wit of the first water; and the gray-bearded grave artist proved wonderfully good company; he was loaded with anecdotes, like a six-chambered revolver, and before his audience had done laughing at one story he had begun another, still funnier, and then another, funnier again, a perpetual-crescendo of mirth. Just as a crowning feature, with the dessert, came a single bottle of champagne, whose cork, exploded with the force of a cannon. "Listen there!" cried the journalist "How that thunders! It is the true wine of war." And at this a burst of gaiety. It is such a droll thing, la guerre, when oue's own country is winning. "Just one little glass more, une polichinellc, my friend," said Gaston, filling his fellow-scribbler's glass, "to fete our arms." After the champagne, Gaston slipped out quietiy, with just a whispered explanation to his wife. He had to go round to the newspaper office, in the Rue St Andre des Arts, to arrange about his descriptive article for Sunday, or, in point of fact, to write his paper on the spc"..

My wife has for many years been a sufferer from aever« Nervous Headache for which she found little help. She has tried many things that promisotf well but performed little. Last fall a friend gave her a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla. It seems surprising what simply one bottle could and diu do for her. The attacks of headache decreased ia number and were less violent in their Intensity, while her general health has been improved.

One of the larger ones that boils 150,000 pounds, or 3i car loads, was boiliug tbe day we were there and we «ere informed that it took five days to make a kettle full ot soap, five days to cool it and two days to em sty it. Then it has to go through the moulding, wraping and packing process which takes i about eight or nine more davs, or j about three weeks in all, before the soap is ready to ship. To charge one of the large kettles it requires 134 barrels of tallow and resin nearly toe entire amount of course being tallow, which is shipped to the firm by the train load.

M U S T HAVE T H E N E C E S S A H J E S OF LIFE AT ONCE. A Summ*rv c»f the Report of the Commillet Which Investigated the Condition «f lh* Destitute Miners tu the Upper 1".DJD*U1U—Prospect for Work, At the last meeting" of the fourth dist r i c t Y. M. C. A., it was decided to hold a series of meetings at Allegan, Dowagiac and South Haven. T h e Marine Band, a t South Haven, is composed entirely of ladies, and r a n k s among the leading bands in southwestern Michigan. The members have just donned handsome new uniforms of white broadcloth, plentifully t r i m 7 »i with gold fcraii. After over u week of thorough investigation into the condition of the destitute miners of Gogebic and Dickinson counties, in the upper peninsula, the relief committee—composed of- Wm. C. Maybury, E. \V. Cottrell and 11. H. Fyfo, prominent Detroit citizens—have made au exhaustive report to the executive relief committee. In substance the report says: The annual tax levy in Gogebic lias long since been expended and that the private charities of the counties have given to the full extent of their abilities until now almost all tlie citizens are reduced to the same level. In Dickinson county the public funds are down to the lowest notch and there has been but little actual suffering as yet, although help will be needed at once and for some time to come. In both counties there is but one industry- mining—and this industry was the first to feel the business depression which has covered the whole country, •consequently the mines have nearly all been closed since last spring. The miners could, not leave the district with their families, or, if able to do so, no employment opened up to them elsewhere to encourage such a step. liut little is produced in this district and everything which enters into daily living—food, •clothing, etc., except wood—must come from without. These circumstances make their disadvantages almost appalling. The proportion of families living without the aid of husband and father, is greater by far in the mining district than in any other. The casual ties, fatal in character, frequently occurring, soon invests a mining community with widows and helpless •children, who must be a^ charge in whole or part upon the community- In Iron wood more especially and elsewhere on the Gogebic and Menominee ranges, typhoid fever and other diseases have been epidemic. Many have <iied and multitudes are in stages of •convalescence. The physician whom they could not compensate and the medicines for which they could not pay •were indispensible. Both were present we are happy to say without money and without price, through the noble self-sacrifice of the physicians of the stricken counties. From these and o t h e r reasons which might be advanced, it will be seen how far-reachi n g the scene of dependence is and how absolutely beyond the miners' control are the conditions out of which dependence cume. and from which it is likely to continue. As to the number of persons who will require aid until mining operations are resumed, your committee obtained the most exact information possible. To this end. a thorough canvass was made. In Gogebic county there are the towns of Iron wood with 4,O')0 destitute: Bessemer, 1.."»()(); Laketieid. »»D0. In Iron Mountain and Norway a total of -J,000 persons must depend upon charity this winter. Making the total number 8.100 at the present time with the unhappy prospect t h a t the number will probably be increased as the weeks go by. The copper mining communities of Ishpeming, Marquette, etc.. will try to care for their own destitute. The committee personally investigated the condition of the miner's homes and found that not only was food in instant demand, but children .could not attend school for lack of footwear and clothing. The imminent need is boots and shoes, German socks and overshoes and secondhand clothing of every description, more especially underwear for women and children. Nothing of this charac ter can go amiss. Everything can be made available. Prompt giving in this -direction is double giving. As to the donations of food, supplies and money, these will be continuous and apportioned as the needs increase or decrease. A t least $20,000 per month in supplies and money, one-fourth of which should be cash, will be needed, if even the necessaries of life are to be supplied. This would be on the basis of only 82.50 monthly for each person, a n d is"scant relief at that. In each of the counties of Gogebic and Dickinson a central committee has been formed composed of three representative citizens in the former and five in the latter county. The designation of such committees by name will be the Gogebic and Dickinson County Reiief committees respectively. It is suggested t h a t all contributions be consigned to either of these committees, who will apportion contributions t o the several localities in proportion t o the number of their dependents. Gen. Alger has communicated with owners of several of the mines with a view of inducing them to resume work. A number have agreed to do so if they can get a little more than the operati n g expenses. There is also a disposition on the part of the big fee (land) owners to make a reduction of their royalties for the present in order to aid in giving employment to the miners. THe state Grnntre. The annual meeting of the HtchigMi State Grange wus held at TrtBT"Hjf Reports from the secretary an4 other minor officers indicate t h a t the ffcrances of the order are in excellent condition, although the organization has experienced small growth during the past year. T h e executive committee's report handles national issues. The financial stringency, the committee says, is due to the withdrawal of interest and dividends on foreign capital and the withdrawal of foreign securities. The lack of confidence is attributable to the i eastern bankers, who, by painting I gloomy pictures, tried to force the I government to issue bonds. In course of time the people began to believe the bankers and to share their distrust. The committee deplores the repeal of the Sherman law, Tjhey say that a siugle gold standard rs not sufficient as the basis of a healthy currency. The grange is in favor of restricting the capitalization of railroads and other corporations to the actual value of the property they own, so that watered stock may be done away with. The3r believe iu a government postal telegraph, and also in a government parcel delivery under proper restrictions. They believe thai penalties, even imprisonment, be imposed upon railroad men for violating the railroad laws, as, for instance, those laws which require railroad companies to issue tickets good for any member of the family. They denounce the repeal of the mortgage tax law of lS'Jl and say t h a t the law of 1803, which replaces it, shows no signs of ability, research or industry. Free coinage, government loans and warehouses for grain are treated as dead issues, and no recommendations are made. N O T O N E P E R I S H E D . Steamer K. * P. ftt. No. 3 Strikes Rockt tn a Heavy Sturm—Life Havers' Work. • In a blinding snowstorm and a terrific easterly gale, the passenger and freight steamer F. «fc P. M. No. 3, of the Flint & Pere Marquette line, was driven on the rocky shore of VYhitetish bay. six miles above Milwaukee. The steamer left Ludington, Mich., with a crew of about 15 men and with a passenger list numbering 18 persons. The lake was exceedingly rough during the passage, but it was not until the vessel was approaching the Wisconsin shore that her situation became alarming. In the storm the steamer was carried off her course and in attempting to feel her way into the bay she brought up ou the rocks in Whiteiish b '. As soon as the steamer struck the bowlders she sounded signals of distress. The life-savers promptly responded. The surf boat was placed on the surfcart, and the boat was taken overland to the beach opposite the spot where the disabled steamer lay. Great difficulty was experienced iu reaching the beach, and when the crew tiually arrived on the scene it was found that the high seas and the rocks and bowltiers t h a t lined the bottom of the bay made it difficult to use the surfboat. Nevertheless, it was speedily trundled to the t-il^e of the ice-covered beach and two scores of willing hands forced the boat into the waves. The crew pulled against a high gale and big seas, but after a struggle of l."> minutes the life savers reached the side of the vessel. Two women were rescued V.V.: : » : • :.v- HAWAJfp W*:.i A S S E N T T H A T T H E M ^ P A R C H Y SHALL N O T BE R E S T O R E D . Preparation!

C , give some very interesting news from t h a t place. The dispatches recite the astonishment expressed by the American Hawaiians *vheu they received from the steamer Warrimoo, on Nov. 21, the tirst knowledge of the expressed intention of 1'rts'dent Cleveland und Secretary Gresham to restore the queen to che throne. The royalists became very jubilant and the annexationists at once began preparations to resist either internal or external force. Uver l.tiOO determined annexationists assembled and rousing speeches were made by President F. M. Hatch, of the Annexation club, and others, and resolutions were adopted. The trend of the speeches was wholly in the direction of resistance and defiance. Secretary Gresham had said in his letter to President Cleveland that the monarchy must be restored. President Cleveland had pretended to act as a judge, but his acts do not justify the assumption. His first move had been to strike tiown the American nag in Hawaii; he had not given notice of any judicial investigation. It had been asserted " t h a t there has been submitted to arbitration to the President of the I'nited States the question whether or not we had a right to establish a government in this country. Gentlemen, 1 challenge that assumption. The assumption is false in every respect. "Gentlemen, it can hardly be contended that the provisional government and we, representing the supporters of that government, have submitted our rights to exist to Colonel James lllount, of Georgia. •'We are a power de facto: we were recognized bv certain great powers of the world which made us a power de jure and we were a power having trtuty relations with the Fnited States of America. A treaty had been negotiated when President Cleveland took his seat. T h a t treaty awaited ratification to make it final, but it nevertheless was a treaty binding the executive. Now, gentlemen, I challenge the right of the chief executive of t h a t nation, of his own motion, to undo the act of any of his predecessors. ((ireat applause.) Congress may do it. Congress has full power, but Grover Cleveland had no right, legally or otherwise." Orders have been given to those governments having, or to have hereafter warships in Honolulu harbor that no nation will be allowed to land troops without the written consent of the provisional government. This notice was served upon the foreign diplomatic corps in writing. Two hundred and fifty men were put to work fortifying the executive building. In case it is the intention to carry out the instructions for the restoration of the monarchy Minister Willis has promised to give the provisional government 3<1 hours notice before acting. In case such notice comes, :»0'J men will be at once put to work and before the time expires the executive building will be surrounded on all four sides with rifle pits 150 feet from the building, which will defy attack and be absolutely safe from the guns of the ships. It has been learned upon the best authority coming directly from royalist sources, t h a t British Minister Resident Wodehonse has lately stated to different persons in Honolulu t h a t there was an understanding l>etween President Cleveland and the English government t h a t the monarchy should be restored. This theory reached the executive and an advisory council's special session was held in which the following resolution, was unanimously recommended to the executive: Resolved, That the executive council inquire of the American minister whether his instructions were covered by and in harmony with the letter of Secretary Gresham to President Cleveland. If so, whether he was instructed to use force; and. that, should the answer be in the affirmative, these coun cils recommend t h a t Mr. Willis be immediately given his passport and the ex-queen be made a prisoner of state. The fear of the councils seems to be that the British will offer protection to the ex-queen in case Cleveland fails to restore her. Immediately upon the arrival of the Australia the council held a special session to hear official dispatches from Thurston. These strongly advised' the provisional government to hold the fort. The idea is growing here that Minister Willis will refuse to act and will probably resign before he will carry out Cleveland's restoration policy. Hon. Mackenzie Bowell, minister of trade and commerce, of Ottawa. Ont.. addressed the Honolulu chamber of commerce. Mr. Bowell's speech consisted mainly of an appeal for aid from the Hawaiian government to encourage the Canadian-Australian steamship line. He told of the market in Canada for Hawaiian products, and spoke of the necessity of cable communication between Hawaii and Canada and Australia. The members of the cabinet were seen shortly after the meeting the next morning, and even their guarded expressions of opinions concerning the intent and purpose of Mr. Bowell's proposition showed t h a t the *eal scheme behind his speech, as rex> rted, was preliminary to a proposal .'or new treaty to be entered into on the part of England, through Canada, -vith Hawaii. Horab Kxploded In the Chamber of Deputies— The Miscreant Caught. While the chamber of deputies was in session a bomb wa* . t h r o w n from one of the galleries and exploded with a double report in the midst of the law-makers. A scene of terrible excitement followed. The crowds in the galleries were seized with panic and through blinding smoke and dust fought fiercely to escape from the building. The police, however, with great promptness had closed every exit to the streets and instituted at once the most searching investigation for the criminals. Both in the galleries and on the floor of the chamber many persons, including women, were h u r t more or less seriously, but so far as is known only one was fatally wounded. The deputies displayed great coolness, and their president, M. Dupuy, appealed to his colleagues to continue their discussions with calmness. His remarks were loudly cheered and partial order was restored. The police detained on suspicion 200 persons, but after a day of great excitement the authorities announced t h a t they had the bomb thrower iu custody. The miscreant is named Marchal. He is an anarchist and has made a full confession. Marchal, it appears, was among t h e injured persons taken t o the Hotel Dieu, the largest hospital of the north side of the Piace du Parvis, Notre Dame. He soon fell under the suspicion of the authorities, and pressed by the perfect of police, he decided to make a full confession and did so, glorying in his dastardly crime, and said the bomb was aimed at President Dupuy.

Paris awoke in a very savage humor on Sunday morning; and then came laujihfc'r and cynical jests. i Everybody accused his neighbor of having eagerly swallowed the lie. Everybody declared that lie, fur his own part, had*never believed the news so greedily accepted by the mob. But in those two new homes in the Rue Git le Cceur there was bliss, whether the arms of France were victorious or otherwise far away in those unknown lands, which the Parisians were picking out with pins npon gaily-colored maps, sticking up tiny flasrs here and there <m the map to show where the French troops were, the very spot where great battles might be expected momently, great victories—a new Auerstadt, a Becond Jena. What do little birds, in their nests on St. Valentine's Day care what battles the big eagles, the hawks, and the vultures are fiehting far away amonsr, Scottish mountains, on Alpine MiuimitsV The birds have their nests, and each to each is the world in little. "Let the world slide, we shall never be younger," said Gaston, who knew Shakspcare, in the translation of Charles lingo. He and his young wife were utterly happy. If there were dark clouds impending they could not see them. Is not love blind —blind to all things except the Iwloved? The faintest shadow" on Gast'm's brow troubled Kathleen, but not those sitrns of tempest which were trat lerinc; round France. Tue new home was full of smiles. Kathleen and Gaston had smartened the old furniture by some modest additions bought before their marriage—A writing-table, a cabinet, a bookcase filled with Gaston's hooks, the accumulation of the last ten years, a few old mezzo-tints picked up from time to time at the print-shops on the quay. Kathleen and Rose had toilet! for months to make both homes complete and pretty. Curtains and chair-eowrs were all the work of those two pairs of industrious hands. Durand, who was 'richer than Mortemar, had taken the lower floor for his own menage. In the Rue Git le Cceur that second floor ranked as a rather important suite of rooms. The apartment consisted of an/on, fifteen feet by twelve, with two casement windows commanding the shabby little courtyard; a bedroom somewhat smaller; a little room which would serve as workshop lor Durand, who did a good deal of artistic cab net-work on his own account after business hours; and a tiny kitchen. Durand'* skiiful hands had made all the best of the furniture in the dead watches of the night, when other men were sleeping or dissipating; so the home of Rose and Philip was famished in a style I worthy of a man who stood high in the syn- ! dicate of cabinet-makers. j But while life was so full cf happiness , fotfthe newly-married, the sky was darken- , ing outside. An army of undeniable valor, j but in number terribly inferior to the toe, t and led by generals of scandalous incapac- I ity, was brought face to face with the whole j of Germany, in arms as one man, burning I to avenge the agony and shame of sixty j years ago. On the 4th of Aogust came the 1 defeat of General Do nay, beaten and slain j at Wissembourg; and on the fi:h the still ' mope deplorable reverses of MacMahon at ! Woerth, at Freischwiller, and at Reiehshoffen. By the breach thus opened the enemy poured into France like a torrent. They came, the fete* ctirreat! There was no longer room for sell-deception. This was invasion. And now far ofLotimly as in a dream, Paris beheld the pale spectre of siege and famine. The Parisians knew hardly anything of the truth, which came to them only in garbled frajrmentsv They knew not that upon the heels of these three or four hundred thousand men let loose upon France would follow hundreds of thou>ands more; yes, ne-arly all the male population of the old German Empire. ' Dark rumors of evil without the walls only drew those two households nearer to each pther. made home joys sweeter, love closer., But now Kathleen learnt the meaning of fear. She was full of morbid terrors when her husband was away from her. she pictured an advance guard falling upon j him in the street; a shell from the enemy's ! artillery bursting at his feet. And Gaston j went every day to the office of the Drapeau | Rffuge. He had leaders to write, tartwes, letters, patriotic articles breathing warhke 1 fire, every full stop seeming like a shell. France beaten. France invaded? Ah, but there was nothing in this world so unlikely, «0 near the impossible; and yet, while he wrote, French aims were Hung down, French ioldiers were flying—a wild rabble—from before the face of the foe; and the invader's foot wat on the soil, tramping onward •t*adily, gigantfa, invincible. lUu aonu mighty force of Nature, slow, cumulative, pitiiess. But say that the soldiers of France j had fled; say that Achilles himself had ! flung down his sword and shield, and taken to his heels; whow was the fauit? Why, naturaliy, it was the government that was i to blame, shrieked the lied Flag- Down I with the Ministers! Let us have new Winj isters, and our arms will be victorious. Mac- Mahon and Bazaiue will unite their forces, I and the tidy of victory will roll backward ! across those advancing herds of Huns and j Pandours, and sweep the savages back to their native pine-woods, their desert wastes beside the Danube. There was a sudden shuffl.* of cards in the j political game. Gramont and Olivier retired, driven out by a vote of censure, and General Moutauban, Couite de Palikao, took the helm. "A military Mereadet with a touch of Robert Maci.ire,"said the lied Flnrj. "What good could bu expected from such canaille J*'' The month of August wore on—a month of anxiety, of wavering hopes, of strengthening fears. History records no bloodier battles than Rezon\iille and Gravelotte, fought in the middle of that anxious month; and although Bazaine claimed the first as a victory, he was still steadily retreating: everyday brought him nearer Metz; where he finally retired, abandoning his communications with MacMahon and the rest of France. *Ttien came the rumor lhat Metz was blockaded; Bazaine and his hundred and eighty thousand men were bound round with bonds of iron, useless, helpless. MacMah<>ii was encamped at Chalons, re-creating lis army, and thither regiment af:er regiment of undisciplined youth was sent to him: and undisciplined youth made the country ruund ring with the noise of its follies, made France blush for her sons. And still the flood of invasion rolled on, steadily as the rising tide; a week, a fortnight at most, and the Crown Prince with his victorious army would debouch upon the plain of Genevilliers. And now in earnest this time, seeing the enemy so near, Paris awakened to the possibility of a siege; but even yet fear was not so serious as to stimulate the city to prompt and earnest action. The people waited—expectant, hopeful still; something would happen, something unforeseen—a miracle, perhaps.- Something unforeseen did happen; but the unforeseen wore the shape of shame, defeat, humiliation—an empire overthrown in one bloody day; Emperor a state prisoner, Empress a fugitive, army prisoners of war. First came the tidings that MacMahon, instead of trying to block the passage of the Germans, instead of falling back upon the capital to fight one of the world's decisive battles under the walls of Paris, was moving northward, obviously intent upon joining and releasing Bazaine. What might not be hoped from a coalition between two such generals—one who had risen with every defeat, the other as famous for indomitable energy as for military skill? What might not be hoped for frornBazaine's hundred and eighty thousand men, the flower of the French army? For two days, the first balmy days of September, a restless, feverish, over-excited populace lived upon the boulevards and in the streets; questions, statements, counterstatements flew fiom lip to lip, while false reports and monstrous exaggerations were in the very air men breathed. Then, on a Saturday night, came the news of a great calamity; a terrible battle had been fought, was still being fought, with fluctuating fortunes, in the environs of Sedan. But the ultimate result? For this Paris waited w ith inexpressible agitation. The newsvendors' kjosqnes were besieged by tumultuous cfowds; hands were stretched forth tremulous with excitement, clutching at the papers ; men stood upon the boulevard benches, reading the news aloud, above a sea of heads. Nothing was certain in• the news thus devoured, nothing precise. The crowd, deprived of ofiicial information, was consumed by a nervous irritability, a fever of hopes and fears. Men were impatient, captious, quarrelsome. At the first word of doubt they were ready to treat each other as Prussians or traifTs; for a mere nothing they would have challenged each other to mortal combat Voices were sharp, strangers glared at one another with angry eyes. Lamps began to shimmer in the summer twilight, cafes and wine-shops shone out ii|>- on the night, and gradually, imperceptibly, the knowledge of a great catastrophe spread and circulated on every side. Details were wanting; but France had suffered some terrible defeat. That was seen in every face. No one in Paris slept that night. The Corps Legislatif cal.ed a midnight sitting:and the Empire sank through the stage of this world to the realm of chaos and night, evanescent as a scene in a fairy play; and the curtain rose npon the Republic. The next day was Sunday, September the 4th, and the newborn Republic began in the glory of a cloudless summer sky. O strange people, children of smiles and tears! Last night Paris had been plunged to the bottom j of a black abyss, steepitl in the horror of j calamitv, brought face to f.u?e with the cer- ' [ tainty of an imminent siege, her army an- • I nihilated, her Empire fallen. Paris hud i , laid herself down in dtist and ashes, with 1 weeping and wailing for the .splendor that I had peiished, J lie glory that was gone. To-day, Sunday, and a holiday, Paris awoke radiant. Again the excited populace filled the boulevards, poured along th:» streets, a strong current of humanity trending towards the Champs Eiysees and the Bois. But to-day the note is changed. Ir Ls no longer the harsh minor of Rachel's wail for her Inst sons, bet the glad psalm of Deborah. The Empire has fallen, has fallen. Long live the Republic! Let them come, the ices ntrncf! We are more than a match for them mnr. Joy beams on every fae;>. The crowd wears its ho.iday clothes, its holiday aspect. Every n<w and then* a battalion of the National Guard tramps singing along the roadway. They stop their song to cry, "Long live the Republic!"' and thunderous acclamations reply. "Long live the Republic r And now came a time of preparation, expectation, anticipation. The days of uncertainty were over, and William and his conquering hosts were pouring steadily on towards this beautiful city Paris. Bismarck had avowed that he bore.no grudee against France the mad..* w ar only on the Empire. And Jo, the Empire was ended like a morning; dream, the eagle* were draggled in the blcod- : stained dust of disastrous battlefields; and ' still G 'rmariy pressed onward, laughing with a sardonic laug iter at the impediments that France set in her way. Here a bridge blown to the four winds, there a viaduct shattered, railway-lines cut, destruction everywhere; and yet the barbarous hordes Iraraped on over the ruins that strewed the way, pouring, pouring, pouring onward, like the army of locusts in Holy Writ. The Parisians expected an assault, a great battle, victory or speedy doom. They waited boldly, stroug in their faith that Bellona was on their side. The goddess of battle had hidden her face from them hitherto, but it must be that she loved her France, laurel-crowned Victrix of so many gloriou>. fields, mother of heroes. Yet, although expectant of short and sharp strife, P a r s prudently prepared against the hazard of a blockade. She gathered in hpr flocks and herds, she heaped up corn ami coal. The Grand Opera, that palatial pile which was to have been a crowning glory of the E.npire, was converted into a storehouse, half reservoir, half granary. She set to work to complete her unfinished fortifications, hut passingslowly. She armed all her cit P I K Ciiassepotsand Remingtons were your only wear. And honest shopkeepers, who had never pulled a trigger, swaggered and strutted in warlike gear. Every head wore the kepi; every man told himself that c n u e what might, let tni.ie or family perish, li.; must be there, on t':e walls, reaily to receive William and his Pandours. With some there was an idea that those advancing hordes were fresh from their native tine-forests, half-naked savages, with longhair and wolf-skins slung across their brawny shoulders—such men as destroyed Varus and his legions—such men as fought and died for Vercingetorix. "Let them come," said the sleek grocers and bakers of Paris. "We are getting ready for them." She cut down her wood, her beautiful •Bois de Boulogne, the happy holiday ground of high and low. Those leafy arcades were given over to the woodman's axe, those trees were! mutilated or hewn down. The swans upon the silvery lake, the fauna of those shadowy groves, were abandoned to the guns of the Mobiots. Everywhere the creak and crash of falling timber, the scream of dying beast or bird. There, where the gay procession of carriages used to circulate in the afternoon sunlight, were now lonediiess and ruin; here and there a few scattered plumes, white on the greensward, showed where death had been; here and there the thick black smoke, and fitful flame, marked a newly fired thicket. Paris was a camp, and every citizen 8 soldier. But the soldier's duty was nerthei onerous nor varied at this period. There was the morning rendezvous from seven to eight, the day and night watch on the ramparts, short slumbers und»r canvas, for the casements which were to shelter these heroes biter on were not yet built. AmotJg these soldiers of the National Guard lVtilip Durand and Gaston Mortemar were both numbered. The charmed life of the newly wedded was over. The domestic heurtii was lonely. The husband could only return to his home in the intervals of his service as a defender of his city. And the w iie was full of fear in her lonely home, or prowling in the neighboring streets on some small household errand, loitering with other wives on doorsieps or at street corners, devouring the last news from the ramparhs. Trade was at a standstill. ELICII National Guar I hail his allowance of a frai c and a half a day. with a small sum for wife or family; but it was almost inpossiblefor him to carry on any handicraft during this reign of chassepot and Remington. Some there were—the few. the elect among worki rs— who contrived to accomplish something in their br.ef respite from soldiering; and among these was Durand. His employer had shut up his factory. What good was there in creating articles of luxury—artistic cabinets « l>i Renaissance, writing-tables a la Dubairy, commodes a la Maiutenon, what use in imitating the finest works of Buhl and Reisnler.- when the city was girt with iron, and might ere long b? girt with tire? when at any evil hour, as yet unmarked upon the calendar, a bomb might explode in the mldd'e « f the factory, and send Buhl aiid Reisnir-r, delicate iniaid-work, ormolu and cherry-wood, pear-tree and ebony, in a shower of splinters through the shattered i r< o;'? The proprietor stowed avray his j cho'eest woods in his cellars, and locked up j his warehouses and workshops. No goods could be exported from a blockaded city; and in the city there were no purchasers of art furniture. TO BE COSTIXL'ED. A T r i l l i o n o f KlfMea.

People watched his movements for a whole block, until he was seen to ! t u r n with the cloth pressed to his nose.

T H E little town of Wakefield in Virginia is like its prototype, Bethlehem, not so important of itself as it is for being a birthplace. It was where George Washington was born, nearly 162 years ago.

After so many years a monument is t o mark the spot of Washington's b i r t h , which, though visited by hundreds- every year, has been left so far unmarked and entirely desolate.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Doc. 10.—Kev. Dr.Talwho lectured in this eity yesterday, spoken during tbe week at Nash- •file, Memphis, and other cities, preached here this afternoon to a large audience, under tbe auspices of the Baptist church. The subject was: "Unhorsed," and the text chosen was, Acts 9: 3-5: uA*d as he journeyed, he came near Damascus; and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven; and he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto kim, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou m»! And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said: I am Jesus whom thou persecutest." The Damascus of bible times still stands, with a population of 135,000. I t was a gay city of white and glistering architecture, its mhiurets and creseents and domes playing with the light of the morning sun; embowered in groves of olive, and citron, and orange, and pomegranate; a famous river plunging its brightnessMnto the.scene; a city by the ancients styled "a pearl surrounded by emeralds." A group of horsemen are advancing upon t h a t city. Let the Christians of t h e place hide, for t h a t cavalcade coming over the hills is made up of persecutors; their leader small and unattractive in some respects, as leaders sometimes are insignificant in person; witness the Duke of Wellington and Dr. Archibald Alexander. But there is something very intent in the eye of this man of the text, and the horse he rides is lathered with the foam of a long and quick travel of 135 miles. He urges on his steed, for those Christians must be captured and silenced, and t h a t religion of the cross must be annihilate.!. Suddenly the horses shy off, and plunge until the riders are precipitated. Freed from their riders, the horses bound snorting away. You know that dumb animals, a t the sight of a n eclipse, or an earthquake, or anything like a supernatural appearance, sometimes become very uncontrollable. A new sun has been kindled in the heavens, putting out the glare of the ordinary snn. Christ with the glories of heaven wrapped about him, looked out from a cloud -md the splendor was ins\ifferable, and no wonder the horses sprang and the equestrians dropped. Dustcovered and bruised, Saul attempts to get up, shading his eyes with his hands from the severe luster of the heavens, but unsuccessfully, for he is struck stone blind as he cries out, "Who art thou, Lord?" and Jesus answered him, "1 am the one you have been chasing. He that whips and scourges those Damascene Christians, whips and scourges me. It is not their back that is bleeding; it is mine. It is not their heart that is breaking; it is mine. I am Jesus whom thou persecutest." From t h a t wild, exciting and overwhelming scene there vises up the greatest preacher of all the a g e s - Paul, in whose behalf prisons were rocked down, before whom soldiers turned pale, iato whose hands Mediterranean sea captains put control of their shipwrecking craft, and whose epistles are the avant courier of a resurrection day. I learn from this scene that a worldly foot in stirrup, but yon will never be worth anything spiritually until you fall off. They who graduate from the school of Christ with the highest honors have on their diploma the seal of a lion's muddy paw, or the plash of an angry wave, or the dropof a stray tear, or the brown scorch of a persecuting fire. In nine hundred and ninety-nine cases out of a thousand there is no moral or spiritual elevation until there has been & thorough worldly upsetting. Again, 1 learn from the subject t h a t the religion of Christ is not a pusillanimous thing. People in this day try to make us believe t h a t Christianity is something for men of small caliber, for women with no capacity to reason, for children in the infant class under six years of age, but not for stalwart men. Look at this man of the text! Do you not think t h a t the religion that could capture such a man as that must have some power in it? He wus a logician, he was a metaphysician, he was an all-conquering orator, lie was a poet of the highest type. He had a nature that could swamp the leading men of his own dav, and, hurled against the Sanhedrim, he made it tremble. He learned all he could get in the sehool of his native village; then he had gone to a higher sehool, and there mastered the Cireek and the Hebrew, and perfected himself in belles lettres, until in after years he astonished the Cretans, and the Corinthians, and the Athenians by quotations from their own authors. 1 have never found anything in Carlyle, or Goethe,- or Herbert Spencer that could compare in strength or beauty with Paul's epistles. 1 do not think there is anything in the writings of Sir William Hamilton that shows such mental discipline as you find in Paul's argument about justification and the resurrection. I have not found anything in Milton finer in the way of imagination t h a n I can find in Paul's illustrations drawn from the amphitheater. There was nothing in Robert Emmet pleading for his life, or in Edmund Burke arraigning Warren Hastings in Westminster hall, t h a t compared with the scene in the court room, when before robed officials Paul bowed and began his speech, saying, "I think myself happy, King Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day." I repeat, t h a t a religion t h a t can capture a man like that must have some power in it. I t is time you stopped talking as though all the brain of the world were opposed to Chris* tianitv. Where Paul leads, we can > breathed out slaughter." He wanted them captured, and he wanted them butchered. I hear the click, and clash, and clatter of the hoofs of the galloping steeds on the way to Damascus. Oh! do you think t h a t proud man on horseback can ever become a Christian? Yes! there is a voice from heaven like a thunder-clap uttering two words, the second word the same as the first, but uttered with more emphasis, so t h a t the proud equestrian may have no doubt as to who is meant, "Saui! Saul!" T h a t man was saved, and he was a persecutor; and so God can by his grace overcome any persecutor. The days of sword and tire for Christians seem to have gone by. The bayonets of Napoleon I. pried open the "Inquisition" and let the rotting wretches out. The ancient dungeons around Rome are to-day mere curiosities for the travelers. The Coliseum, where wild beasts used to suck up the life of the martyrs while the emperor watched and Lolia Paulina sat with emerald adornments worth 60,000,000 sesterces clapping her hands as the Christians died under the paw and the tooth of the lion—that Coliseum is a ruin nowj The scene of the Smithfield fires'is a hay market. The day of tire and sword for Christians seems to have gone by. but has the day of persecution ceased? No. Are you not caricatured for your religion? in proportion as you try to serve Clod and be faithful to him, are you not sometimes maltreated? That woman finds it hard to be a Chiistian, as her husband talks and jeers while she is trying to say her prayers or read the bible. That daughter finds it hard to be a Christian with the whole family arrayed against her—father, mother, brother and sister making her the target of ridicule. That young man finds it hard to be a Christian in the shop, or factory or store, when his comrades jeer at him because he will not go to the gambling hell or other places of iniquity. Oh no, the days of persecuj tion have not ceased, and will not until the end of the world. But, oh! vou persecuted ones, is it not time t h a t you began t o pray for your persecutors? They are no prouder, no fiercer, no more set in their way t h a n was this persecutor of the text. 'He fell. They will fall if Christ from the heavens grandly and gloriously look out on them. God can by his grace make a Renan believe in the divinity of Jesus, and a Tyndall in the worth of prayer. Robert Newton stamped the ship's deck in derisive indignation a t Christianity only a little while be captive of their sins a* much so as t h e young- man wjia said in regard to his dissipating habits, " I will keep on with them. I k n o w I am freaking my mother's heart; and, I know I am killing myself, and I know t h a t when I die I shall go to hell, but it is now too late to stop." The steed on which you ride may be swifter, and stronger, and highermettled than thut on which the Uilician. persecutor rode, but Christ can catch it by the bridle, and hurl itback and hurl it down. Thero to mercy for you who say you are too baft to be .saved. You say you have put <x',' t h e matter so long. Paul had! neglected it a great while. You say t h a t the sin you have committed h a s been amitlst the most aggravating circumstances. T h a t was so with Paul's. You say you have exasperated Chrifo and coaxed your own ruin. So did Paul. And yet he sits to-day on ofce of the highest of the heavenly thronis; and there is mercy for you, and g o x l days for you, and gladness for yoo, if you will only take the same Chjist which first threw him down and t h e n raised him up. It seems to me as if I can see Paul to-day rising up from the highway to Damascus and brushing off the dust from his cloak and wiping the sweat of excitement from his bro.v, us he t u r n s to us and all the ages, saying, "This a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, t h a t Christ Jesut came into the world to save sinners, of whom 1 am chief." Once more: I learn from this subject t h a t there is a tremendous reality in religion. If it had been a mere optical delusion on the road to Damascus, wasnot Paul just the man to find it out? If it had been a sham and pretense, would he not have pricked the bubble?" He was a man of facts and aiguments, ost gigantic inteUectual nanot a man of hallucinations. I see him fall from the sadand overwhelmed, I say ve been something in it. brother, you will find is something in religion The only question is, afferd to follow. I am glad to know j fore he became a Christian. "Out of Christ has in the different ages of the world had in his discipleship a Mozart and a Handel in music; a Raphael and a Reynolds in painting; an Angelo and a Canova in sculpture; a Rush and a Harvey in medicine; a Grotius and a Washington in statesmanship; a Blackstone, a Marshall, and a Kent in law; and the time will come when the religion of Christ will conquer all the observatories and universities, and Philosophy will through her telescope behold the morning star of Jesus, and in her laboratory see " t h a t all things work together for good," and with her geological hammer discover the "Rock of Ages." Oh, instead of cowering and shivering when the skeptic stands before you and talks of religion as though it were a pusillanimous thing—instead of that take your New Testament from your pocket and show him the picture of the intellectual giant of all the ages, prostrated on the road to Damascus while his fall sometimes precedes a spiritual up- i horse is flying wildly away; then ask a- MAXUIAGE of the only daughter of t h e Mackays to an Italian prince was m a d e occasion, when it occurred ten years ago, of much roseate comment In order to meet the charge t h a t Prince Ferdinand C'olonna was adv e n t u r i n g for money to retrieve decayed fortune he took the bride w i t h o u t a dowry, but there seemed flome cons61ation in the allowance of $175,0 >U a year given by her mother in addition to gifts worth as m i u h more.

A man does not get much sympathy by falling off a horse. People sav he ought not to have got into the saddle if he could not ride. Those of us who were brought up in the country remember well how the workmen laughed when, on our way back from the brook, we suddenly lost our ride. When in our Grand Review a general toppled from the stirrups it became a national merriment Here is Paul on horseback—a proud man, riding on with government documents in his pocket, a graduate of a most famous school in which the celebrated Dr. Gamaliel had been a professor, perhaps having already attained two or three titles of t i e school—Rab, the first; Rabbi, the second; and on his way to Rabbak, the third and highest title. I know from his temperament that his horse was ahead of the other horses. But without time to think of what posture he should take, or without consideration for his dignity, he is tumbled into the dust. And yet t h a t was the best ride Paul ever took Out of that violent fall he arose into the apostleship. So it has been in all ages and so it is now. You will never be worth much for -God and the church until you lose your fortune,, or have your reputation upset, or in some way, somehow, are thrown and humiliated. You must go down before you go up. Joseph finds his path to the Egyptian court through the pit into which his brothers threw him. Daniel would never have walked amidst the bronzed lions t h a t adorned the Babylonish throne if he had not first walked amidst the real lions of the cave. And Paul marshals all the generations of Christendom by falling flat on his face on the road to Damascus. Men who have been always prospered may be efficient servants of \ the world, but will be of no advantage your skeptic what it was that frightened the one and threw the other? Oh no, it is no weak gospel. I t is a glorious gospel. It is an all-conquering gospel. It is an omnipotent gospel. It is the power of God and the wisdom of God unto salvation. Again, 1 learn from the text a man can not become a Christian vtntil he is unhorsed. The trouble is, we want to ride into the kingdom of God, just as the knight rode into castle gate on palfrey, beautifully caparisoned. We w a n t to come into the kingdom of God in fine style. No kneeling down at the altar, no sitting on "anxious seats," no crying over'sin, no begging at the door of God's mercy. Clear the road, and let us come in all prancing in the pride of our soul. No, we will never get into heaven t h a t way. We must dismount. There is no knight-errantry in religion, no fringed trappings of repentance, but an utter prostration before God, a going down in the dust, with the cry, "Cnclean, unclean!"'—a bewailing of the soul, like David from the belly of hell—a going down in the dust, until Christ shall by his grace lift us up as he lifted Paul. Oh, proudhearted hearer, you must get off c>£ that horse. May a light from the throne of God brighter than the sun throw you! Come down into the dust and cry for pardon, and life, i>nd heaven. Again. I learn from this scene 03 the text that the c,r;icc of God can CTercome the persecutor. Christ and Paul were boys at the same time in different villages, and Paul's antipathy to Christ was increasing. He hated everything about Christ. He was joing down then with writs in his pockets to have Christ's disciples arresU»i. He was not going as a sheriff goes, to arrest a man against whom he i a d no spite, but Paul was going down to art o Christ. You may ride majestically ' rest those people because he was glad seated on your charger, rein in hasd, • to arrest them. The bible sa*ft, "He my house," said a father to his-daughter, "if you will keep praying," yet before many months passed, the father knelt at the same altar with the child. And the Lord Jesus is willing to look out from heaven upon that derisive opponent of the Christian religion, and address him not in glittering generalities, but calling him by name. "John! George! Henry!—Saul! Saul! why persecutest thou me'.'" Again, I learn from this subject that there is hope for the worst offenders. It was particularly outrageous that Saul should have gone to Damascus on t h a t errand. Jesus Christ had been dead only three years, and the story of his kindness and his generosity and his love filled all the air. It was a new story. Jesus had only three summers ago been in these very places, and Saul every day in .Jerusalem must have met people who knew Christ, people with good eyesight whom Jesus had cured of'blindness. people who were dead, and who had been resurrected by the Savior, and people who could tell Paul all the particulars of the crucifixionjust how Jesus looked in the last hour—just how the heavens grew black in the face at the torture. He heard t h a t recited every day by people who were acquainted with all the circumstances, and yet in the fresh memory of t h a t scene he goes to persecute Christ's disciples, impatient at the time it takes to feed t h e horses at the inn, not pulling at the snaffle, but riding with loose rein faster and faster. Oh, he was the chief i of sinners. No outbreak of modesty ] w i o n he said that. He was a murderer. He stood by when Stephen died, ; a ad helped in the execution of that ! good man. When the rabble wanted i to be unimpeded in their work of dej stroying Stephen, and wanted to take off their coats, but did not dare to lay them down lest they be stolen, Paul said, "I'll take care of the coats," and they put them down at the feet of Paul, and he watched the coats, and he watched the horrid mangling of glorious Stephen. Is it a wonder t h a t whe.a he fell from the horse \n did not break his neck—that his foot : did not catch somewhere in the trap- ] pings of the saddle, and he was not ; dragged and kicked to death? He deserved todie miser.iblv.wretchedly*,and forever, notwithstanding all his meta- | physics, and his eloquence, and his ] logic. He was the chief of sinners, j He said what was true when he said j that. And yet the grace of God rmved 1 him. and so it will you. If there is any i man in this house who thinks he is too 1 bad to Iv saved, and says, "I have j wandered very grievously from $od, I j do not believe there is any hope for j me," I tell you the story of th/.s man ! in the text who was brought to Jesus I Christ in spite of his sins and opposij tion, There may be some here who 1 are as stoutly opposed to Christ as Paul ' was. There may be some here who are of the tnre, And v die, b\\ there rri And, m t h a t the1 somewhere. where? / There was a man who rode from Stamford to London, ninety-five miles in five hours,* on horseback..

May Almighty God, from the opening heavens, flash upon your soul this hour the question of your eternal destiny, and oh t h a t Jesus would' this hour overcome you with his pardoning mercy, as he stands here with the pathos of a broken heart and sobs into your ear, "I have come for thee.

We tried every tiling to cure it, but no help came, and for four long years it continued, unsightly and very troublesome. Several persons urged us to give him Hood's Sarsaparilla, and we found that he improved while taking the first bottle. "We kept oo EAST PUTNAM. Annual Hood's ?»Cures giving it to him until he had taken four bottles. The sore has entirely healed up, nothing remaining but the scar, which he will carry all Ills life. He is sound, strong and healthy, and we give all tho praise to Hood's Sarsaparilla." MH. and Mas. G. W. DAVIS, Constantine. Mich, Hood's Pllla are prompt and efticicnt, yet easy in action.

"German Syrup" My niece, Emetine Hawley, was, taken with spitting blood, and she became very much alarmed, fearing that dreaded disease, Consumption. She tried nearly all kinds of medicine but nothing did her any good. Finally she took German Syrup and she told me it did her more good than anything she ever tried. It stopped the blood, gave her strength and ease, and a good appetite. I had it from her own lips. Mrs. Mary A. Stacey, Trumbull, Conn. Honor to German Syrup. & WAS A PHYSICAL WRECK.

Animal flesh somes next, then vegetables, and fourth In rank we have cereals and pulses, kwbich are shown to have the0 largest 'amount of the earthy matters. From the analysis we see that fruits as distinct from vegetables have the least amount of earth salts. Most of them contain a large quantity of water, but that water is of the purest kind—a distilled water of nature—and has in solution vegetable albumen. We also notroe that they are to a great extent free from oxidized albumens— glutinous and fibrinous substances; and many of them contain acids—citric, tartaric, malic, etc.— which, when taken into the system, act directly upon the blood by increasing its solubility, by thinning it; the process of circulation Is more easily car* ried on and- the~blood flows more easily In the capillaries—which become lessened In calibre as age advances— than'it would if of a thicker nature. These acids lower the temperature of the body and thus prevent the wasting process of oxidation, or combustion in the system. Exhilarating and stimulating effects produced by tea, coffee, and chocolate are caused by theine in tea, caffeine In coffee, and bromine in cocoa or chocolate— the latter containing a smaller percentage of the stimulant than the •thers. All have a similar alkaloid base. Milk has become extremely popular with all classes of physicians of fate years. Formerly a fever patient was forbidden to take.milk. In modem* practice milk is about the only food allowed/ An exclusive diet of milk is found very efficacious in diabetes. At the German spas, Carlsbad, Weisbaden, etc., a very little bread is allowed and the diet mostly made up of milk, eggs, grapes, and lean beef.

NpE in a while the sun.shines out And the arching skies are a perfect blue, in a while 'mid clouds of doubt F a i t h*s fairest stars are peeping through. Once the greatest privilege Is in being born among people who are free from foolish superstitions. Suppose you bad been born on the Congo river, for instance, How would you like* that when you consider some of their beliefs? It is told by persons supposed to be well informed that the people inhabiting the district round the Congo river share with the Ashautees, of whom we have recently heard such a lot, the belief that if their high priest, the Chitome, were to die a natural death the whole world would follow suit at once, and would dissolve into air. for it Is, according to them, only held together by his personal will. ~ Accordingly, when the pontiff falls ill, and the illness is serious enough to make a fatal termination probable, a successor is nominated, and he, so soon as he is consecrated, enters the high priest's but and clubs him or strangles him to death. A somewhat similar custom obtains in Unyore when the king falls seriously ill, and seems Our paths lead down by the meadows fair, _ W h ,lr !f,h _e 8 W € e t e S t b l o s . s o m 8 n o d " » d iTkelyTo dTrroThTs^wW^'toTlirhlm" The same smile rule is followed if he gets And we lay aside our cross of care, Once in a while.

Joseph Grimajdi was jthe inventor of the present clown's dress. Before Joey's time,1 the clown—in costume, but in nothing else—was a sort of English Pierrot, an impossible combination, and a necessary failure. Joey seems to have recognized the fact that English low humor was unsuited to a Frenchman's dress. He broke up, therefore, the blank white of Pierrot's dress with the variegated spotsv stars and patches to which we are now accustomed. But Grimaldl \ civilization will allow was a man of inventive resource—to some extent a genius. Nearly all the so-called "comic business" is of his invention. x - x The Harlequin—probably without knowing it—continued to dress himself a la WatteaU until the year 1 of the present century, when James Byrne inbeyond a certain age, for an old Unyore prophecy states that the throne will pass away from the family in the event of the king dying a natural death. The Eiil of the "Chesapeake." An English journel contains the following item, for the truth of which we cannot, of course, vouch; but it is interesting if true: It is not by any means widely known, says the journal, that the Chesapeake, famous for her historic encounter with the British ship Shannon in 1813, is in existence to-day, but is used in the somewhat inglorious capacity of a flourmill, and is making money for a hearty Hampshire miller in the little parish of Wickham. After her capture by Sir Philip B. V. Broke, she was taken to England in 1814, and in 1820 her timbers were sold to Mr. John Prior, miller ot Wick-- ham, Hants. Mr. Prior pulled down his own mill at Wickham, and erected a new one from the Chesapeake timbers, which he found admirably adapted for the purpose. The deck beams were thirty-two feet long, and served, without alteration, for Joists. Many'of these timbers yet bear the marks of the Shannon's grape-shot, and in some places the shot are still to be seen deeply embedded in the pitch pine. .The metamorphosis of a man-of-war into ' s? peaceful life-sustaining flourmill is, perhaps, as near an approach to the prophecy »that spears and swords shall be beaten into ploughs and pruning- hooks as the conditions of modern A Perfect Identification. Signor Arditi, the well-known musical conductor, has recently published ! his memoirs in London. Among the [ many anecdotes he tells is the fol- . lowing adventure h» had with a bank cashier. He was in an American city 1 and wished to have a check cashed, roduceda -change.—In t h< imeMmt tier-did noHtnow Signor of "Harlequin Amulet, or The Magic of Jtfona," produced at Drury Lane, he appeared in Harlequin, in a tightlyfitting white silk habit, into which the well-known colored silk patches were woven, the whole being profusely covered with spangles, and presenting an unusually sparkling appearance. This is the costume worn by all the Harlequins of the present day. The Old Oaken Bucket. A dear little girl, named Elsie, was quite a singer, and very~lond of an old song, familiar to most children, called "The Old Oaken Bucket." Elsie was taking lessons in drawing, which interested her very much. She drew pictures in all -her spare time, and often teased mamma with the question: Arditi, he told him he must get himself identified before he could receive any money. "But I do not know any one here," protested' the musical conductor. "I am very sorry," said the cashier. Signor Arditi thought for a few moments, and presently said: "Did you ever attend the opera, young man?" J>-'' "Frequently," said the cashier. "I am very fond of m u s i c " - { "Then you must know me," continued Signor Arditi; and taking off his j hat he turned his back upon the cashjer, and' beat time vigorously to an imaginary orchestra. "Oh, yes!" exclaimed the cashier at once. "I know the back of your head well. You are Signor Arditi." And he handed out the money to the mu- 8PECIAL A N N O U N C E M E N T . "What shall I draw next, mamma?" Mamma always suggested cows, or | siciau'without further ceremony, cording to the first idea_whlch ™m* into her head. One day, in answer to Elsie's usual question, mamma replied: "Draw the 'old oaken bucket,' Elsie. You are very fond of singing 'The Old Oaken Bucket.' Sit down and make a picture of it." This was new. -Elsie, with a deep satisfied breath, sat down and staid -quiet about five minutes. At tha en^ Of that time she brought mamma this picture. "What upon earth does this mean?" asked mamma. "It looks like a conundrum, Elsie; or like the sun, moon, and starsr - EJlsle looked at her design with great pride, and a little impatience at mamma's obtuseneas. "Why, don't you see. mamma?" she cried, "Thefirst'one Ts~Tfhe" old oaken bucket/ and the next one is 'the ironbound bucket,' and the next is 'the mctas-covered bucket.that hangs in the well!*" - Then nmmma laughed hard, leaning, back in her chair, while she held Elsie's sketch at arm's-length to see it better, as artists always look at pictures. "And what are all those little spots far, Elsie?" "Why—those, mamma?" said Elsie. "Those are 'the spots that my infancy knew!'" ~ Humility. - -' I believe the first test of a truly great man is his humility. I dp not mean by "humility" doubkof his own power, or hesitation in speaking his own opinions, but a right understanding of the relations between what he can do and say and the rest of the world's doings and sayings. All great men not only know thftlr own hnslnpss, hnj psiiftllyL know that-they know it, and are not only right in their main opinions, but usually know that-they are, only they do not think much of themselves on that account. They do not expect their fellow men to fall down and worship them; they have a curious under-sense of powerlessness, feeling that greatness is not in them, but through them. They do their work, feeling that they cannot well help doing If. A Peculiar clock.

She was<; vu confine?! to her bed for more than two \ eks at a time suffering untold agouy. Si..! has doctored constantly, and 1 have paid out in doctors' bills for her alone as much us $900.00, and then her relief was only SLKIU that she would be able to be aromid for a spell. Some time ago she felt the symptoms of another attack coming on, such as a pain in through the kidneys and back. I hardly know what induced me to get a box of Doan's Kidney Pills, instead of sending for the family physician; however, I got some and she commenced their use. It was a surprise to us both to see* their action; the attack was warded off, and she continued taking them with marked improvement each day of their use. She is better now than she has been in years, the pain in the back and others.in the kidneys have entirely gone. Hardly a day goes by thai we do not men* tion the great good Doan's Kidney Pills have done her.

The scene is in the gay Crescent City, twenty years or more before tho war, when New Orleans promised to be the largest city ou the continent. when its shipping was enormous and when dueling was the gentlemanly and approved method of settling disputes. The services a t the large Catholic cathedral had just been concluded, and, through the entrance, out Into the public square, sauntered a middle-aged man with a young woman, a s fair as any desired to look upon, a t his side. Her cheek had the hue of the sunkissed peach and her sparkling glance showed that she was by no means a demure*' madonna, although she had Just come from the church. Her companion was tall and distinguished-looking, dressed in the height of fashion and carrying himself with a military L'tectuess. Everyone "admired Mr. Marsden, the eloquent lawyer, tho superb orator and the brilliant soldierstatesman. Kindly, b u t impetuous; with generous instincts, but a fiery temper., he was the ideal type of a gallant, chivalrous southerner. The tender regard he exhibited for the young girl with the sparkling glances was in keeping with the attention he had bestowed upon h e r for twelve months past, giving rise to much speculation as to whether or not Jte would carry off the prize.. Many disappointed suitors for Helen ManvHle's. hand felt extremely vengeful toward the gallant statesman, none more so than Jack Culvert, a rich, talented and extremely reckless young man. F o r several months he had sighed before the shrine of the divinity without making marked progress, ?nd then the statesman had | appeared land seemed to be carrying | her off, despite the young lover"s most BtrenuousTefforts. So it happened that Jack, no better than h e should have been, resorted t o the consolation of 'I mint juleps and similar beverages, becoming a constant frequenter of the St. Charles cafe. In that great subterranean resort, where were found men of all nations, it might be said, he made the vain attemjit to drown his sorrow and his chagrin by means of the beverage he so persistently drew through two straws. He even plunged into greater dhsipat 1 ;ns. Helen once saw him driving to the races; (there were two great tracks in operation then) with the prima donna of the French opera, whereupon the society belle deliberately looked the other way. A n d m - i n v wftrp t h e pypningrw pa.sstvl. a% "You imply intention. You shall ipologiae." "Beneath the Oaks, a t your convenence." "Very well; I will send a friend to f'OJL "I will be glad to receive him. T h e iooner we meet the better. There isn't oom for both of us in New Orleans." The rival bowed and left the room. Twice more he danced with the belle, jvhile Jack resumed his attentions t o ihe line -wines of his host. Late that aight, or rather early next morning, \'hen the French maid was disrobing ler mistress, the girl appeared anxious ,o impart certain information. "Mademoiselle, the butler a t the ball told me something." "* "What fxijl^' indifferently. "He served Monsieur Jack with much w i n e a n d m a n y cigars. 'Monsieur Marsden eijteretl; Monsieur Jack jostfed him; Monsieur Marsden responded with anger; they exchanged words and are to meet early this morning at the Oaks." "At the OaKs!" exclaimed Mademoiselle. "Oh, this cannot be. Are you sure?" '•The butler saw it all." "It is terrible;" it is terrible!" "Well, mademoiselle," said the girl, consolingly, "Monsieur Marsden is one of the bes.t swordsmen in New Orleans. It is not he", but Monsieur Jack who will be killed." "Silence!" commanded the mistress. Bright and early the next morning Jack found himself beneath the Oaks, with his second. His head felt a little heavy and his hand shook, but not with fear. "We are early," he said to his second. "Here they come," was the response, Mr. Marsden was soon on the spot and the swords were brought out. Afar was another group and they knew that another dispute was being settled in this popular and gentlemanly fashion. The elderly contestant drew the lover aside. "Sir, must this matter go on? An apology-—" "I have no apology.'" "Vcr? well." "To him who-survives she shall belong." The rival smiled rather pensively. "Are you r^ady, gentlemen?" "We are."" They were about to throw themselves into position when a carriage was heanl in the road near by and the next moment a figure rushed forward. It was the young won .n herself. I m - petuously she threw herself, not upon the l';v:\st of ihe rival, but" into the f «auie week. P U B L 1 S U B D fCVKJiy T H U R S D A Y MJUNI.NO B T FRANK 1.. ANDREWS Editor a/iti "Proprietor.

At a fashj ionable ball that night he again met jiris divinity,, who looked simply inde- | scribable. Jack forgot his resentment in a sudden spell of admiration, and, approaching, begged the privilege of a polka. She responded that she was engaged. •"•*•'You are always engaged when I happen- around," said Jack, savagely. "You, too, have certain engagements, I believe," she retorted, with biting sarcasm. i • Jack thought of t h e prima donna and was silent. As he turned away Mr7~ Marsden cazried off the young lady. Feeling the most profound aversion to witnessing his rival's happiness, Jack plunged into the smoking room and Immediately ordered a bottle of champagne. Then he lighted a cigar and cogitated bitterly, trying to shut out :he rhythmical melody of the orchestra. The more h e dra»k-^ajui the mnn» he smoked the more enraged he became. • When,1 after a considerable interval, his "rival entered. Jack arose and deliberately jostled against him in moving toward the door. A flush of anger irossed the other's face, while the lover then confronting with commanding gesture the .soldier-statesman. ~~ LKA<il."l>. Meets v\ery Sunday . ^ n% .it tr.oO i>a>n'k in ihe M. K.

Work would soon become popular if it "were forbidden by few. It is fun to receive orders that you .need not obey unless you choose. The real purpose of arbitration is to *how that the other fellow is wrong. Dissipated men do not even havu the respect of their associates and imitators. Enthusiasm is a thing that is of no particular use unless it is of the spoi> taneous kind. The t.r/vable with most schemes is thai they are based on theories that are not practical. The best c-vtiversationalist is the one who can listen the longest without betraying hi* annoyan^. Some young men would get along better if they had less point to their shoes and more to their conversation. Lucky is the" man who stands so well among his fellows that they will accept his conclusions without inquir* )ng into his reasons. Human nature does not value .'JL thing so much for its real worth as for the fact that it is better than something similar possessed by a neighbor. After all a man's household goods have been carted around the streets on a moving van he ftels as though the neighbors had taken an unfair advantage of him. Some folks,, like tug boats, seldom accomplish anything without a great dealjpf puffing and blowing; but, unlike tug boats, they often puff and blow without accomplishing anything. , The offer of fifty thousand dollars to Doctor Nansen for the exclusive right to publish the account of his exploration in the icy north is justly regarded as a substantial tribute to the value *t. coldlacts. The interval between.a presidential election and an inauguration affords • hniit fonr TYinnfha f n r ontjr^lv profitless newspaper speculatlotf as to the make-up of the in-coming president's cabinet. Coming immediately after the seeming hysteria of partisan appeals to voters, this variety- of newspaper folly amounts, almost to a public offwise. r r o m t h e Text: King*, 8 : 1 8 - 8 3 — " I Will Deliver T h e e T w o T h o u s a n d Horse* If Thou 11« Able uu T h y P a r t t o Set Hitters I'pon Them." P by the waterworks, the upper reservoir of Jerusalem, the general of the besieging army and the generals of besieged Jerusalem are in c o n s u l t a t i o n . Though General Rab-shakeh had been largely paid to stop the siege, he kept the money and continued the siege—the military miscreant! Rab-shakeh derides the capacity of the city to defend itself, and practically says, "You have not two thousand men who can manage horses. Produce two thousand cavalrymen, and I will give you a present of two thousand cavalry horses. You have not in all your besieged city of Jerusalem two thousand men who can mount them, and by bit and bridle control a horse." Rab-shakeh realized that it is easier to find horses than skilful riders, and hence he makes the challenge of the text, "I will deliver thee two thousand horses, if thou be able to set riders upon them." Rab-shakeh, like many another bad man, said a very suggestive thing. The world is full of great -energies and great opportunities, buX few^know how to bridle them and mount them and manage them. More spirited horses than competent rioers! The fact is that in the church of God we have plenty of fortresses well manned^ and plenty of heavy artillery, and plenty of solid columns of brave, Christian soldiery, but what we most need is cavalrymounted troops of God — for sudden charge that seetns almost desperate. If Washington, if New York, if London are ever taken for God, it will not be by slow bombardment of argumentation, or by regular unllmbering of great theological guns from the portholes of the churches, but by gallop of sudden assault and rush of holy energy that will-astound and throw into panic the long lines of drilled opposition, armed to the teeth.

You hear the clatter of the hoofs and the whirr of the arrows and the clash of the shields and the bang of the ( carbines as they ride up and down the centuries. Clear back in time, Osymandyas led twenty thousand mounted troops in Bactrlana. Josephus says that when the Israelites escaped from Egypt; fifty thousand cavalrymen rode through the parted Red Sea. Three hundred and seventy-one years before Christ, Epaminondas headed his* troops at full gallop. Alexander, on a horse that no other man could ride, led his mounted troops. Seven thousand horsemen decided the struggle at Arbela. Although saddles were not Invented until tho time of Constantine, and stirrups were unknown until abput four hundred and fifty years after Christ, you hear the neighing and snorting of war-chargers In the greatest battles of the ages. Austerlitz, and Marengo, and Solferino were decided by the cavalry. The mounted Cossacks reinforced the Russian snow storms in the obliteration oXjthe French army. Napoleon said if he had only had sufficient cavalry at Bautzen and Lutzen his wars would have triumphantly ended. I do not wonder that the Duke 6f Wellington had his old war horse, Copenhagen, turned out in best pasture, and that the Duchess of Wellington wore a bracelet of Copenhagen's hair. Not one drop of my blood but tingles as I look at the arched neck and pawing hoof and, panting nostril of Job's cavalry horse: "Hast thoti clothed his neck with thunder? He paweth in the valley: he goeth on to meet the armed men. The Quiver rattleth against him, the glittering Bpear and the shield. He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting." e e « Standing as I do, in this National Capital, let me say that what we want in the Senate and House of" Representatives and the Supreme Court is a Pentecostal blessing that • will shake the continent with divine mercy. There recently came into myhand* the records of two Congressionarprayer-meetings, "OTl LIIH i'»H«-qi_wh,lrh wpfp t h p n a m e s of Mp^cTTwTrea-thirir^^ Senators anil: Reprethem from the south.

What if Napoleon could'have availed himself of such a contrivance at* Waterloo? Would history be just the same? A man carrying an armful of firewood would not ordinarily be made the subject of. comment. When, however, the fc^an represents a people wto used to think that such labor was- a degradation, he is interesting.from a sociological point of view.

The opportunities for this assault are great and numerous, but where are the men?" "I will deliver thee two thousand horses, if thou be able to set riders upon them." The opportunities of saving America and saving the entire planet were never so many, never so urgent, never so tremendous as now. Have you not noticed the willingness of the printing press of the country to give the subject of evangelism full swing in column after column? ' Such work was formerly confined to tract distribution and religious -Journalism Now the morning and evening newspapers, by hundreds and thousands of copies, print all religious intelligence and print most awakening discourses. Never since the world has stood has such a force been offered to all engaged in the wood's evangelization.

Suppose all business men should manifest the spirit of helpfulness here shewn. Suppose, too, they avoided, forcing the wages of persons in their employ down to the last dollar under which employment can be obtained. Suppose, also, that wise, yet generous oenslderation was shown in the payment of wages. Would employes then be reetlees and resentful? The uneasy mischief-makers would still be heard. They would make trouble under any condition of Hie.

The record is in the •hand-writing of the philanthropist, William E. Dodge, then a member of Congress. There are now more Christian men in the National Legislature than, ever—before. Why will they not band, together in a religious movement which before the inauguration of the next President, shall enthrone Christ in the hearts of this nation? They have the brain, they have the eloquence, they have the influence. God grant them the grace sufficient! Who in Congressional circles will—establish the Capitoline prayer-meeting in 1897? Let the evening of the last decade^ of this century be irradiated with such a. religious splendor. There are the opportunities for a national and international charge, all bridled and saddled. Wrhere are the riders to' mount them? Here also are opportunities all ready for those who would enter the kingdom of God. Christ said that the kingdom of ~heaven was to be taken-by violence. By one flash you may enter. Quicker than any equestrian 'ever dashed through castle gate you may pass into the pardon and'hope of the •» Gospel. As quickly as you can think "Yes" or "No," as quickly as you can make a choice, so quickly may you decide the question of eternal destiny. No one or too quick pardon Or too quick emancipation? The Bible recommends tardiness, deliberation, and snail-like movement I n some things, as when it enjoins us to be, slow to speak, and slow to wrath, and Blow to do evil, but it tells us, "The King's business requireth haste," and that our days are as the flight of a weaver's shuttle, and ejaculates, "Escape for thy life, Look not behind thee: neither stay thou in all the plain." Other cavalry troops may fall back, but mounted years never retreat. They are always going ahead, not oh an easy canter, but At full run. Other regiments hear thev command of "Halt!" and pitch their tents for the night. The regiments of the years never hear the command of "Halt!" and' never pitch tent for the night. • ^ e e e Oh, my friends, if all right for the next world, the years cannot gallop past too rapidly.

"Well, then, I am ashamed to .confess it, but I put the photo in my pocket, and forgot all about it until I had recognized the man, and pulled out the likeness toxmake sure. I didn't even know there was'a printed description at the foot, nor that any member was wanting. Contound it, Brand! I'm not such a duffer as you think." * Brand did not retaliate. He turned to his friend and said gravely, "To me the matter is inexplicable. Take your own course, as I promised you should." Then he sat down, looking deliclously crestfallen, and wearing the discontented expression always natural to him when worsted in argument. It waB now Carriston's turn. He plied me with many questions. In fact, I gave him the whole history of my adventure. "What kind of house is it?" he asked. "Better than a cottage—scarcely a farm-house. A place, I should think, with a few miserable acres of bad land belonging to i t One of those .wretched little holdings which are slmpiy-curses to the country." He made lots of other Inquiries, the purport of which I could not then divine. He seemed greatly impressed when I told him that the man had never for a moment left me alone. He shot a second glance of triumph at Brandr whonstttt—kept7 sllen%—and looked as if all the wind had been taken out of his sails. "How far is the place?" asked Carrteton. "Could you drive • me there after dark?" At this question the doctor returned to life. "What do you mean to do?" he asked his friend. "Let us have no nonsense. Even now I feel sure that Fenton is misled by some chance resemblance M -V,- •• ORE than half an hour went by. I w a s growing numbed and tired, and beginning to think that we were making ^ asses of our-seiveey when I heard the rattle of a chain, and felt Carriston give my arm a warning touch. No doubt my late host had made sure that his new door fastenings were equal to a stronger test than that to which I had subjected the former ones, so we. were wise in not attempting to carry his castle by force. The door opened and closed again. I "Deuce a bit, old chap," I said. oaw the feeble glimmer of a lantern ""Well, whether or not, We needn't | moving toward the outhouoo in which K J re do foolish things. We must go and swear information and get a search warrant,-an* the aftflhUa.nce_ of the po-_ ' lice. The truth is, Richard," he continued, turning to me, "we have reason to believe, or I should say Carriston persists in fancying that a friend of his has for some time been kept in durance by the man whom you sajf you recognized." "Likely enough," I said. "He looked villain enough for anything up to murder." "Anyway," said Brand, "we must do everything according to law." "Law! I want no law," answered Carriston. "I have found her s&k I knew I should find her. I shall simply fetch her, and at once. You can come with me or stay here, as you like, doctor, but I am afraid I must trouble your friend to dtfive me somewhere near the olace he speaks of." Foreseeing an adventure and great fun—moreover, not .unmoved by thoughts of revenge—I placed ^myself entirely at Carriston's disposal. He ^expressed his gratitude and suggested lEhat we should start at once. In a few minutes we were ready, and mounted the dog cartT Brand, after grumbling loudly at the whole proceeding, finished up by following as, and Installing himself in the back seat Carriston placed a parcel he carried inside the dart, and away we went. ^ I t w a s n o w n e a r l y dark, a n d r a i n i n g very heavily. I had my lamps lighted, so we got along without much difficulty. The roads -were deep with mud; but by this time the snow had been pretty nearly washed away from everywhere. I don't make a mistake in a road twice, so in due course we reached the scene of my upset Here I drew up. "fhe house lies about five hundred jBgaJi up the lane/' I told Carriston; "Wthad better get out here." **What about the hone?" asked BrandT f any one passing this way on such a night as this, so let us put out the lamps and tie him up somewhere/' We, did so, then struggled on afoot until we saw the gleam of light which had been oo welcome to me two nights before. It was about as dark as pitch; but, guided by the light, we went oa until we stood in front of the house, wfctre i turf bank and V or* hedge **# ua fromaight, although on such a night we had little fear of our presence being discovered. "What do you mean to do now?" asked Brand, in a discontented whisper. "You can't break into the house." Carriston said nothing for a minute, then I felt him place his band on my ahoulder. "Are there© any horses, any cows about the place.'" he asked. I told him I thought that/ my surly friend rejoiced in the possession of a horse and cow. "Very well. Then we must wait. He'll come out to see them before he goes to bed," said Carriston, as decidedly as a general giving orders Just before a battle. I could not see how Brand expressed hie feelings upon hearing this order from our commander—I know" I shrugged m^ shoulders, and, if I said nothing, I thought a deal. The present situation was all very well for a strongly interested party like Carriston, but he could scarcely expect othem to relish the prospect of waiting, it might be for hours, under, that comfortless hedge. We were all wet to the skin, and, although I was extremely anxious to eee the end of the expedition,* and find poetical justice meted out to my late host, Carriston's Fabian tactics lacked the excitement t longed for. Brand, in sp4te of his disapproval of the whole course of action, was better off than I was. As a doctor, he must have felt sure that, provided he could survive the exposure, he would secure two fresh patients. However, we made no protest; but waited for evente to develop themselves. woman sat on the floor and rock ad herself to and fro. / x For some moments, while recovering bis breath, Carriston stood and positively glared it his prostrate foe. At last he found words. "Where is she? VTiere is the key, you hound?" he thundered out, stooping over the fellow and shaking aim with a violence which did my heart good. As he received no answer save the unrecordable expressions above mentioned, we unbuttoned the wretch's pockets and searched those .greasy receptacles. Among the usual litter we did certainly find a key. Carriston •snatched at it, and shouting. "Made* line! Madeline! I come," rushed out of the room like a maniac, heaving Brand and me to keep guard over our prisoner*. ** I filled a pipe, lit it, and then cam* back to my fallen foe. "I say, old chap," I said, stirring him gently with the toe of my boot, "this will be a lesson to you. Remember, I told you that civility costs nothing. If you had given me Christian bed accommodation Instead of making me wear out my poor bones on that in fern ak chair, you could have jogged along in your rascality comfortably, so far as I am concerned." He was very ungrateful—so much so that my desire to kick him was intensified. I should not like* to swear I did not to a slight degree yield to the temptation. "Push a handkerchief In his mouth," cried Brand suddenly. "A lady is coming." With right good will X did as the doctor suggested. Just then Carriston returned. I don't want to raise home tempests, yet I must say he was accompanied by the most" beautifulvcreature my eyes have ever lighted upon. True, she was pale as a lily—looked thin and delicate, and her face bore traces of anxiety and suffering—but for all that she was beautiful—too, beautiful for this world, I thought, as I looked at her. She was cTingTngln^rhsTt-frightened, half-con^ tiding" way to Carriston, and he—happy fellow!—regardless of our presence, was showering down kisses on her sweet pale face. Confound it! I grow quite romantic as I recall the sight of those lovers. A most curious young man, that Carriston. He came to, us, the lovely girl on hie arm, without showing a trace of his recent excitement; "Let us go now," he said, as calmly as if he had been taking a quiet evening dffve. Then he turned to me. "Do you think, Mr. Fenton, you could without much trouble get «the dog cart up to the house?" I said I would try to do so. :,..-— ^'But what about these people?" asked Brand.

Just as the door was opened for the boor's readmRtance, a dark figure sprang Upon him.- I heard a fierce oath and cry of surprise; then the lantern flew out of the man's hand, aad he and his assailant tumbled struggling through the narrow doorway. "Hurrah! the door is won, anyway!" I shouted as, followed closely by the doctor, I jumped over the hedge and rushed to the scene of the fray. Although Carriston's Jtej|.conceived attack was so vigorous and unexpected that the man went down under it; although our leader utilized the advantage he had gained in a proper and j-teudable-"inaimer, by bumping that thick bullet head as violently as he could against the flags on which it lay, I doubt if, after all, he could have done his work alone. The countryman was a muscular brute and Carriston but a stripling. However, our arrival speedily settled the question. "Bind him!" panted Carriston; "there is cord in my pocket."

Brand examined them, and handed to CarrlstoA an envelope which contained what appeared like banknotes. Carriston glanced at It.

Ml* Old Enemies, Trusts, Combinations, Watered Stocks, Railroads. Etc., Get Dae Attention—Other 8objects of4 Intercut Well Handled. I desire to urge upon you as the law* making power the necessity which exist* for the amendment of several laws of the state, for the repeal of others and for the enactment of a few which I deem of vital importance. As representatives and aervants of the people let us endeavor to work harmoniously, with no object In view hut the public good. Michigan ought to stand In the front rank of progressive states. Her people desire that .aho should. Just laws will aid her, unjust laws will retard her. Whatever stumbling blocks have heretofore been placed in her pathway should be removed. It remains to he seen whether we shall be - equal to the great work, it is within your power to make the coming session of the legislature an ideal one. This can be done by the enactment of a few laws which will meet the approval of all patriotic citizens of this state and the commendation of every true member of our great republic. Abolish Primary E l e c t i o n s . If we would Inaugurate reforms in our atate government we must commence where the governing power originates, in party organizations and conventions. I would recommend that the political party caucus laws already upon our statute books be BO amended as to abolish party conventions. If political corruption exists its origin' can here be found. The trjje theory of party organisation is that the best men should be chosen for election to ofhee. This theory cannot be carried out under the present system. The caucuses and conventions have become the means by which the few obtain power and place. Under a representative form of government the people should have free choice of their representatives. Any obstruction to such free choice should be removed. Syndicates of otUce seekers are formed, corrupt combinations are made, delegates Are bought and sold, promises of position 4o unworthy men are often of necessity made, and the example Is set before us that those who In the ordinary walks of life pass for honorable* men enter upon the duties ,0/ public office under a cloud of suspicion and shame. The convention has become the medium of trickery, bribery and fraud. The direct vote of the ballot holder for party candidates is the simplest meanB of expressing preference for representatives. The direct vote and the Australian5 ballot system is of less cost to the people than the convention system, v it is remarkable that so great has been the power of the few and ambitious that In a nation having a representative form of government and composed 'of forty-five great states, but two of those states vote direct to put.party .candidaie3 in nomination, while every Canadian province has the direct vote, and for that reason Is so much nearer the Ideal republic. T a x a t i o n . The question which is always present and Is never solved in any state or municipal government is the question of taxation, direct and Indirect. Taxes are burdens which must bo borne.' The theory of the republican form of government is that they are borne equally by all owners of property in proportion to their wealth. If thiB principle does not prevail the government has favorites and therefore is hot republican. All exemptions and variations from this fundamental principle .should be upon lines of public policy and for tfie greatest good of the greatest number. The policy of continuing thensystem of specific t a x a t i o n nf r n r p n r a t I r m a a a t h e the presence of a threatened destruction ever rights are required by reason of the of individualism and the breaking of the spirit of Independent effort, It is high time that the makers of the laws should be the people's representatives, whose names are upon the rolls of rour houses, and net members of a third bouse who infest the halls of legislation for evil purposes. s t a t e Control of C o r p o r a t e Stock a n d B e a d lassies. We should be extremely jealous of the reputation of our business Interests, All Investments should he given such guar- »ntee of safety by law as to Inspire condence in those who deal with ua. Capital should be encouraged to Invest In the development of our varied resources. Investments made within the state should be governed and protected by wise laws and not be disturbed by frequent changes In the laws that govern them. • The burden of taxation should be equally distributed, all property bearing Its just share. The Issuing of Btocki and bonds should be so regulated that when the Investor seeks for proper security, he will find that the state has guarded him In his Investment against the purchase of artificial values by way of watered stocks and bonds. It is in your power to materially aid owners of corporate property in Michigan in disposing of -their securities if you will pass such laws as will protect the Investor therein, by making the sale of, the securities easier and at a lower Pate of interest. Under the laws that now exist manufacturing and other corporations are permitted to do business after having paid in 10 per cent of the authorised capital without the residue being subscribed for, and upon this payment of 10 per cent, and upon the strength of the authorised capital, and the fair standing of the men connected with the corporation, and possibly to some extent the fair prospects of the business, large credit has been obtained by the corporation, In some cases many tlmeB larger than the actual capital paid in. The practical workings of this law are unsatisfactory to creditors because in many Instances the creditor after the corporation has failed to be successful has been found to be the largest investor In the venture. In order to protect the creditors of corporations of this character, I recommend that you increase the responsibility of the shareholder by making him individually liable .for such debts as are incurred beyond the amount of capital actually paid in, at least up to the amount of the authorised capital of the corporation. In other words when a . corporation obtains authority to do business with a certain amount of capital, that capital should exist In good faith for the security of the creditor. In the case of banking corporations, much greater nihility of the stock t sole resource of the state from such or ganizations, which originated when the state was new and which favored the promoters of needed works for small and scattered communities, has long been regarded with disfavor by the people of this state, who contend that the time has arrived when the well-known inequalities of taxation should be adjusted and proportioned according to values. While I do not bejieve that the system of specific taxation and the method of its distribution in support of- the common schools should be disturbed, I recommend that steps be taken in the form of local • or general taxation to make corporations bear their proper share of taxarion. — F i x i n g R a i l r o a d T o l l s . The right of the legislature to fix the maximum rate for passenger fares has been exercised ever since the first general •enactment as to railroads, in 1855. In 1870 the people of the state amended the constitution, expressly conferring upon the legislature the power to fix such maximum rates. In 1873 there was a general revision of the railroad laws and certain rates were fixed. Amendments were made changing rates at various periods up to the final amendment in 1891, and generally speaking there has been a reduction of rates bv legislative enactment. It will thus be seen that any proposed reduction of railroad passenger rates o' fare or of freight charges has Its precen- <dents in the changes made from time to time in the past history of these corpora-, tions. The right of the legislature to fix the maximum rates has been contested by InteT^fft*^ corporatiftna and the Supreme Court has held that thT reg.sTaJure has the right to ftx such rates.. At the present time such inequalities of passenger fares exist which, should be adjusted by the legislature. What is true of discriminations by railroads in favor of through passengers as .ap*.:nst local passengers. and of discriminations by the state In favor of one railroad as against another in the matter of maximum passenger rates, is true as to discriminations by railroads in favor of terminals as against local stations in the same state. All of these inexroalrties- trf charges are within the power or partly within the power of the legislature of Michigan to correct. And their •correction in my firm belief would prove to be for the benefit of the railroad companies as well -as for the people of the state. • I therefore recommend that the legislature take into consideration the question of rassenser fares at two cents per mile for Michigan. The Referendum^. The referring of important acts of the legislature to a popular vote for final adoption by the people Is the extension o f the well known principle -underlying the practice in this state of referring proposed ohaaaeiijrf the constitution.

Trnntn o » * C«s*l»lsuitiosM». There- is growing up in this country a «ystem of trusts and combinations which is becoming more ana more impudent and extortionate. Its influence is felt in the home of every cltlaen. The necessities of life are made instruments of oppression in the hands of those who reap a rich reward from the weak and the helpless. Such trusts and combinations destroy competition and throw thousands of worthy people/bat of employment. For this reason the consuming power of the people is destroyed and the producing power to just that extent i s asteoisd. Such oomMnatlons ara illegal skpoa the broad Is /of public policy, &ut wholesome lid be enacted .ajKtast them. In satisfactory results^to the creditors of the banks and to the people generally. In this -connection It would l«» well to consider such supervision of corporations by a corporation commissioner, whose duty it shall be to ascertain what the exact available assets of a corporation are before it is permitted to enjoy corporate privileges and enter upon the» business for which It is created. {Jreat care should, be used ln~pi-eventing corporate bodies frojn__cornJng_ Into existence on values that are artificial. In short. I deem it as important that all corporations dealing with- the public shotitd be under the supervision of a competent statp official as that railways and banks should be iT''er the supervision of the proper officials. L i a b i l i t y of S t o c k h o l d e r s . I am not unmindful that there are^onie legitimate advantages In organizing partnerships and other enterprises Into corporations. The death or withdrawal of a partner sometimes compels the winding up of the affairs of a partnership. This and several ether inconveniences are obviated by converting the partnership into a stock corporation. While partnerships are often converted into corporations for legitimate purposes and with honest intentions, it is equally^truo that this opportunity afforded by'the law is seized by the dishonest for the purnone of avoiding non-payment of taxes should be ucqulivd by the state, Whatever penalties are added for the non-payment of tax should inure to the state. I would also recommend the adoption of a general enabling act, If such can legally be done, by which all.property in tue state which has been sold for tax en either to the state or to the individual can be redeemed by the original owner, or by his heirs or assigns, at any .time within five years from the passage of such an act upon the payment or\the original tax and costs and tf per cent interest to the date of redemption.

The educational, charitable, reformatory and penal Institutions of the sta'e should all command your earnest attention, and be subjected to such Inspection as will enable you to provide lntehlgeatly for their needs. Economy in their management should always be practiced, but the necessity for reducing the post ?f maintenance, If possible, was never m o n keenly felt than at the present time The number of officers and employes <it\ the pay rolls should not exceed actual need for safe and efficient service, and high or extravagant salaries ought in no case to be paid. False economy and retrenchment generally rejult in loss and poor service, and therefore should be' avoided. In my Judgment some reforms In the matter of buying suppl.es for the institutions might save to the state many thousands of dollars annually. I am very strongly of the opinion that supplies for the various institutions should be bqught of MJchigan producers. Considerable sums of money arc annually expended for beef and other supplies that come to our Institutions fit-n other states while the farmers of our own statu who are' taxed for the support of the institutions, are compelled to^go away from home to find a market' for their cattie and produce.

This groat institution should under no circumstances be crippled. its reputation as one of the great American universities, should be. sustained. it has uetn eiiuowed by the people and has been maintained by them with a spirit of pride and often at a eTeat sacrifice, Its teachers should be equal to any in the world and they should be men of Independent thought, ready and willing to meet all great questi' n» of modern civilization and advancement with an Intelligent ard enlightened public spirit. The Lobbyist. I cannot refrain from expressing my views upon the subject of the professional lobbyist. At every 6et>t-lon of the legislature just measures are kUed by the enemies of good government and equal whqm It can be *nVen advantage of must be wisely considered by you.— In addition to *vhat I have already said under the heat) of public franchises-1 make the follov 'ng suggestions as to telephones: (1.)

Many worthless corporations are organized, electing for its president a person of well-known financial ptrpr.rrth, thus pivinsr to this institution a flct'tious credit. When the affairs of the concern become involved and creditors seek to get their money, it Is found that the aforesaid president has only a few dollars stock In the concern, and therefore 1« only liable to the creditors for a small amount. The creditors are thus swindled by the use of the rich man's n<wne Therp Is an easy remedv frr all this—the law should make a distinction between pub- He and auasi-publlc cornoratlors nnd those which are stclctly private: the latter should, In my judgment, for convenience and distinction, be designated as joint Stock companies and all holders of stock in such companies should he liable for the debts of the concern precisely the same as though they were partners. Michigan railway commissioner for 1895 to show the inequality of the present distribution of taxes, and. he says, a like inequality applies to the telephone, telegraph and express companies* and' to large amounts of other property in the state. The governor gives the following items from the report: •— The total cost of railway property in the *tate of Michigan in the y e a r 1895, according to t h e report of the railway commissioner (not yet In print) was »310.333.027 IK).

The Preneat Tax' 1,1«. I am of the opinion that some radical changes should be made in the present tax law. The taxation of mortgages upon land must-be considered double taxation.

If the members of the legislature are not Intelligent enough to give Independent thought and action to great public measures w.thout the aid of those who wine and dine and cajole and flatter and bribe, at least some step.! srouhi be taken to modify the nuisance. It has come to my knowledge that some of these profetsioneh? have received large retainers from individuals and corporations who are interested in obstructinghonest legislation, and I trust a roll w.U be made of all such in order thr.t their particular purpose may be clearly known and understood. It unfortunately happens that In the past at least a few of the members of both houses have .occupied the dual ca paoity of legislators and lobbyists,, b-ing paid by the .people a small salary to serve in the former capacity and being hired by the people's enemies at hi.'-rh salar ep to serve In the other capacity. It ha? not been necessary for th<sv to bo enrolled as t^elr real employers are generally discovered early In the sonsion-of the legislature. 'Public F r a n c h i s e * . The question of prantlnj; public franchises by the Btate and bv municipal authorities, and t i e conditions:, und.r Yihich they should be granted and operal< d Is One Of t h ^ E ^ 1 " " ^ p r o M o m a withwhich we have to deal A public fran chlse, when It has passed bej und 'slate or municipal control, may become u power greater than th« sovere gn or municipal power. It may become an engine of oppression and e'en upliou. The moment a franchisee Is grunted the whole people surrender to -a few" of thrir number the right to exercise a pubLc function, and the question which should be considered is what proportion of that right should* be reserved to the pehpie themselves In the wuy of regulation and contrpl. Combinations r.r.d consol:dations by franchise owners In cities are going on all over the United States. These combinations and consolldat ons are for tne purpose of keeping up tolls. The amount of wealth that is being accumulated in the hands of a few by thi«e favored holders of special privileges'.s appalling. These to.**, are Indirect, taxes, and to the extent that the right to regulate the tails is abandoned by the sovereign or the local power to the franchise owner, to that extent the right to levy taxes thoritles in en.h municipality or town. (2.) All companies should he required to charge the same price for the same service and no one should be permitted to give free service upon any consideration. A company which for years has charged* double rates could for a number of years give free set.'Me, and the result might e to wreck a >uunger company, destroy capital and enterprise and leave the community in the hands of *>ie old monopoly. (8.) All telephone comp nies In a city should be compelled to exchange telephone service, upon terms to be fixed by the municipal authorities. The present law contains a provision looking to that end, but I am satisfied that It is too Indefinite to be made svallab'.e. U.) The lawagainst consolidation of telephone companies should be made so positive and emphatic and contain such penalties and forfeitures that it would be impossible to evade it. / P r i s o n s . The treatment of criminals Is one of the vexed questions of the age. Criminals arc of two classes, corrigible and Incorrigible, There should be kept separate In all reformatory institutions. The original purpose of the establishment of the prison at Ionia was to provide a place for thorte who were not deemed to be hardened criminals. I fear that this purpose has not always been kept In view. I recommend that some discretion be lodged In the prisonrmards for transferring from Ionia prison those who have been found to be incorrigible; and also for transferring from prisons to Ionia such inmates as may be deemed to be corrigible. There can be rib greater nursery for crime than a prison which permits the association of the vicious with those who are merely unfortunate. The care of criminals Is another question which .becomes every year a subject for, more serious and thoughtful consideration. The employment of machinery and the manufacture of articles which compete with the products of our great Industries Is In my opinion fundamentally and radical J v I'TIIKT, Hundreds of great prisons In the United States have become immense manufacturing establishments, Will It not be proper to make an effort to pecure a change from the present system? Would it i.ot be well to Investigate the question of utilizing and enlarging the present system of prison farms to the greatest possible extent for the production of such articles of food as may be necessary to feed prisoners? If hand Ifbor only were employed both upon the farms and within the walls, it seems to me that the prisoners could be kept at work and could produce enough for their iwn support without creaMng a surplus and thus crowding the market with prison mnde Broods. The sale of prison made •roods In competition with the products of rree labor has a tendency to reduce prices for siph poods and hence reduce wages. The mlnvrllng of prison made sroods with otjiersenaltles those handl'r.g the-same to cut the prices bt'ow a fnlr profit, and in order to obviate this I am 0' the opinion that all prison made goods should be labeled and ro bhe* j>honld be -removed until the final purchase from the retailer, Co*I find Other S t a t e R e s o u r c e * .

As a guard against coercion of voters; a provision for the safeguard of the ballot an additional assurance of t i e ladepend* ence of the voter and the purity of ele* tions, I would reoommeod that a penalty be provided by an act of the legislature severe enough to prevent corporations of a public character exerting undue lnflu* ence In elections. F i s h P r o p a g a t i o n . The importance of the work of tho *sh commissioners cannot be overestimated. The Introduction of brook trout Into the streams of the lower peninsula, where none were found before, demonstrates the possibilities of fish culture. The labors of the commission have been directed to the question of the productiveness of our great commercial fisheries. The Sreat lakes have ever been great storeouses from which have been drawn annually an Important revenue to the state, and have produced a substantial portion o ! our food supply. Our people have never appreciated the Importance of these fisheries. Under proper regulations, and with little care and attention, a given area of water may produce as great a quantity of food as an equal area of land. With proper methods instituted aB to the planting of fish and the control of the fisheries, the waters of the great, lakes lying within our borders can be made a source of great revenue, and any Investment made in Btocklng these waters with young fish will return a thousand- fold Increase. The indifference hitherto manifested regarding these fisheries has been because of lack of knowledge of what might be derived from them with an exercise of proper care. The state should, each year, place In these waters the greatest number of young fish they can possibly hatch, and to this end additional hatcheries should be established to carry on this work whenever required, and at a s early a date as possible. The commercial fisheries have been subject to abuses for years by the methods of fishing. The product of the commercial fisheries,, even fn their depleted condition, amounts annually to more '• than a million dollars, at the lowest wholesale price of not mora than three cents per pound. With the passage of just laws protecting the fisheries, preventing the capture of young and Immature fish, and protecting' the spawning' fish upon their beds, ana: their stringent enforcement, the result in the next five years would be an Increase in the value of the product of at least one-third, and if continued for ten years would treble or quadruple this amount. As a business proposition solely, this matter should appeal with the greatest force to the legislature. It must appeal to the common understanding that If we are t« preserve our fisheries .Immediate, steps must be taken to secure propep**reguTatlon and enforcement. I therefore recommend that the legislature, at its coming session, pass such lt»ws as may he needed to Increase the productiveness of the fisheries and maintain their benefits for future generations. An act should be passed enlarging the meshes of the nets and imposing a severe penalty for the taking oT small fi>h; a close season "should be made to protect the spawning fish, and a license be laid on the boats and nets similar'to the one now in force in Canada, and In Marie river, is unsurpassed. The vast 1 come derived from such licenses- must not resources of Michigan may be best illus- , only maintain the fish commission in their trated by citing the fact that less than work of artificial propagation as at presflfty years auo there were but three mil- t ent established and its enlargement liv the Uonaires In the United Stateb and by con- [ future to Its fullest possibilities but at trusting this with the more startling fact ' the same time provide a substantial revih. u Michigan utjies have been making at ' c n u ^ t o T 2 B w a b l n a D e p a r t m e n t * While I believe that most of our .state banks are .well managed and In good condition, still the lessorts taught by the t'a.lures during the past two years should not be unheeded nor forgotten and I feel that I cannot too strongly urge attention to th.s subject. From the report of the commissioner on banking, it appears thai there now upwarde* Of tfO state banks and three trust conobanles In existence in this state wfth a liability to depositors of 196,000,000.

I would suggest the following amendments to the laws permitting the granting of franchises to public corporations such— as street-cai's, electric 1 ght, telephone and gas companies. (1.) Reserve the ;ight to flxrates of tolls or charges. M2.) Let the construction of jf every such corporation be •late generally; butTainacquaTh^ed with - t h e mortgage or by ooni veiling h'm t execute a mortgage which contains a clause requiring him to pay the tax upot the mortgage direct. The effect of the present law is to prevent residents of the state from loaning nr-.n»v Ve-"iv. and f> avoid the payment of tax, frauds are- permitted, and the mortgage is taken tn the name of a none-r*>»idert »<•:• • t wh"rr» the collection of the tax cannot be enforced. It would be far better to permit the borrower to have the advantage of a, lower rate of-interest than to allow the lender to exact a higher rate upon the plea that a portion of the Interest received must be used for the payment of the tax. _ __ I am also of the opinion that a radlr-al 1 public "franchise change should be made in the present law by which tax titles are acquired. While *r«rr facility •boutt he anWaw* for tne oolleotlon of taxes, yet It snomd not be possible for one Individual to ooaable system of taxation. It is plainly ap parent that on;1 class of oar citizens, the farmers, is bear.tig a greater share of the taxation...^/ tHe-mate proportioned to values than another class, the organizations receiving corporate privileges from the state government. $o long as this ituquai.ty exists just eo long will the farming communities have manifestly Just cause' to uppo»e appropriations from which at the best they can draw no more benefit than the rest of the people of the state, and from which, as a matter of fact,, they draw ltSs. Good-wagon roads ate" a direct benefit to villages and cities and to • transportation companies. Each should pay a pioportionate share of suih boneiit. There is absolutely no question as to the receeslty of good roadtr for Michigan; but the state rendered poor by unequal direct taxation and exorbitant IrdirecflaxatioR, cannot afford at the pivsent time to enter into the great work hast one millionaire a >ear for the cities of the east besides sustaining in large part as g>'eat a fleet for other states as that passjr.g thiough the Suez canal. This comrared with, what Michigan has received as her sha.'J 1» as the bounty of i.ature to the cruat of chur.ty You are ht'Fe to legislate for Michigan, and I desire to. freely express the opinion that wore these conditio/,:* mastered there would be much le.-is need for the maintenance of charitable institutions? by the state, and much less valid complaint of excessive taxation.

Something certainly should be done that will make bank directors more familiar with the affairs of the bank and thus prevent mismanagement for « h i c h they are morally and should be legally responsible. The quarterly reports, which axe now acquired to be mad?" to the commissioner, should be verified by the o«th of all those who are required To sign tho report and the oath should contain a statement that they have pflBsonaily examined the books and assets of the bank and that from such examination they personally know that the statement signed by them is true in substance and in fact. The bar fctng comm^etoher ahquld be given power to close a bank afc.Once whenever it is Insolvent. A n * •HrfpSneral, I bel'eve, he should be given the same power under the supervision of the munic ity, so that the actual cost tthail be known. (3.) Provide that no morigage shall be executed and no bonds issueJ to a greater amount than one-ha.f of the actual cost of the plant. (4.) Require the corporation each year to hie a-sworn statement of its receipts and expenditures, certified by a public accountant who shall have access to its books. (5.) Provide that there shall be no con sol - dation of one company with another and that no Individual stockholder of«one company shall own, either directly or indirectly, any stock in a n c c e r company operating in the sui.ie city, rtil) \ provide that no franch se or license now | existing or «T"be grauted in the future ; shall be renewed or extended beyond tne j terms of the original grant clwlng the life of the or ginal grant.

Thirty years ago I had nervous prostration while iu the army, where I served for over four years. I think it was duriug this service that the seeds were sown which have caused all my trouble. Severe bilious attacks bothered me, and at such times my kidneys were worse. It is almost hnpossible to describe the pain which so often lamed me. I have been so lame that to stand up after I had beeu sitting down required a great exertion. Walking was 1^ times an impossibility, even at night I, did not rest, being forced to get up during the night. I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and wondered if they coukj make an almost lame man well. I got some, and soon after taking them-began to feel their good effects. I used them for some t i m e / m y lameness ail left me and I have not felt it since.

The wheat area of the Argentine Republic had come up from 600,000 acres in 1883 to 5,000,000 In 1893. and to something like 6,000,000 acres a year later, while its exports of surplus wheat had risen from an average of 2,000,000 to 35,000,000 bushels a year. Since 1880 the capacity of Russia to export wheat has grown at least 40 per cent, and It is still growing. The quantity exported in 1893 was 90,000,- 000. in 1894 116.000,000. and in 1895 130,000,000 bushels. But, in spite of this, there Is a shortage in the world's crops of this year, variously estimated at from 80,000,000 to 90,000,000 bushels. — A t the Hotel Alcaimr, at Auynniinft, Fla., a letter was received the other day which has been constantly on the go since the middle of last July, when it arrived under a foreign postmark at the Grand hotel inT New York, addressed to Catherine Wynn. TLe proprietor of the Grand was requested to forward it if Catherine wasn't at his hotel. He did so, and each hotel man who has received it since has also forwarded it.—The Alcazar maaag< likewise, and if the addressee's name Is known at any of the t i g hotels in America she is likely to get her letter some day. It has been down the Atlantic coast pnd as far west as St. Louis, It has now been sent to Asheville, and will travel through the south. Michigan Feaag-oaues. The attendance at the forty*sixth annual meeting of the Michigan State Teachers' association at LariMng was unusually large. The feature of the opening session was the address of the president, Prof. C. O. lioyt, of Ypstlanti. It was an interesting and scholarly discussion of the subject of sociology and child study. Fullowing* this address a child study round table was conducted by Supt \Y. J. MeKone» of Mason, and then several relative topics were jibiy discussed. In the evening Dr. Arnold Tompkins, of Illinois university, addressed the teachers on "the subject "The Beautiful as a Phase in Education.1' The second day's session* was opened by Mrs. Anna A. Sehryer, of Ypsilanti, who read a paper on "Nature Study in the Rural Schools," making a plea for science teaching, in such schools. The paper which called out the most discussion, however, was that of Commissioner R. D. Bailey, of Gaylord, on •'The Remedy for the Weakness of the Small Rural School." He thought the principal correction to be made was to induce school commissioners not to give certificates to., poor teachers. Sppt.

Immediately afterward the woman was arrested and jailed. She said that she did not regret her action as Anderson will no longer be able to slander her.

In one of his sermons he spoke of travelling with a literary man who had just returned from India.

Befog Ignorant of CarristmVs true position In the world, •he oould conceive no reason for }he elaborate scheme which had been de- Tised to lure her so many miles from her home and make a prisoner of her. A prisoner the was. Not only was the door locked upon her, but a slip of paper lay on the bed. It bore these words: "No harm la meant yon, and In due time you will be released. Ask no questions, make no foolish attempts it escape, and you will be well treated." Upon reading this the girl's first thought was one of thankfulness. She saw at once that the reported accident to her lover was but an invention. The probabilities were that Carriston was alive, and in his usual health. Now that she felt certain of this, she could bear anything!. From the day on which sho entered that room, to that on which we rescued her, Madeline was to ajljntents and purposes as close a prisoner in that lonely house on the hillside as she might have been In the deepest dungeon in the world. .Threats, entreaties, promises of bribes availed nothing. She was not unkindly treated--thM is, suffered no absolute iU-asagp. Books, materials for needio work;* and other little aids to while awajy time vere supplied. But the only living creatures she saw were the woman of the house who attended to her wants, and, on one or two occasions, the man whom Carriston asserted he had a seen in hts trance. Hhe had suffered fruiii the close confinement, but had always felt certain that sooner or later her lover would And her and effect her deliverance. Now that she knew he was alive she could not be unhappy. I did not choose to ask her why she lad felt so certain on the above poinds. I wish to add no more pussies to the one which, lo tell lh» autVe^srrolaeaT | blackness, ^asfr presently even annoyed me, more than I care to say. But I did ask her if, duMng her Incarceration, her jailor had ever laid his hand' upon her. She told me that some short time after her arrival a stranger had gained admittance to the house. While he was there the man had entered her room, held her arm, and threatened her with violence if she made an outcry. After hearing this, I did not pursue the subject. Carriston and Madeline were married at the earliest possible moment, and left England immediately after (the ceremony. A week after their d tare, by Ganistoh's request, I forw; ed the envelope found upon our prisoner to Mr. Ralph Carriston. With it I sent a fewjjnee stating where.and under what peculiar circumstances we had become possessed -of i t I never received any reprr to nnj communication, so, wild and Improbable as it •seas, I am bound to believe that Charles Carriston's surmise was right —that Madeline was decoyed away and concealed, not from any ill-will toward herself, but with a view to the possible baneful effect which her mysterious disappearance might work upon her lover's. stras«e and excitable organization; and I firmly believe that, had he not In some inexplicable way been firmly convinced that she was alhre and faithful to him, the plot would have been a thorough success, and Charles Carriston would have spent the rest of his days in an. asylum. Both Sir Charles—he succeeded to bin title shortly after his marriage—and Lady Carriston are now dead, or I should not have ventured to reU'e these things concerning these. They had twilve years of happina ; if by time the period was hat a short one, s e t ? fleet sure that in It they enjoyed saore true happiness than many others tad 4a the course of a. protracted life, thought and deed they were She died in Eome, of fever, hsoband, without, so far as I r, any particular complaint, simply followed her.

I am far from saying there may not be a simple nawral explanation of the pussle, but I, for one, have failed to find it. so.close this tale as I began it, by saying I am a narrator, and nothing more.

Most of you boys will have heard of Allan Quatermaln, who was one of the party wno^ discovered King Solomon's mines some little time ago, and afterward came to live in England near his friend Sir Henry Curtis. He had gone back to the wilderness now, as these hunters almost invariably do, on one pretext or another. They cannot endure civilization for very long, Its noise and racket and the omnipresence of broadclothed humanity proving more trying to their nerves than the dangers of the desert. i think that tbey feel lonely here, for it is a fact that is too little understood, though it has often been stated, that there is no loneliness like the loneliness of crowds, especially to those who are unaccustomed to them. "What is there in the world," old'Quatermaln would say, "so desolate as to stand In the streets of a great city ani listen to the footsteps falling, falling multitudinous as the rain, and' Watch the white line of faces as they hurry past, you know not whence, you know not whither.

Do you know, it? Well, it is, or was, one of the queerest little places you ever saw} The town itself was pitched in a sort 01 stony valley, with mountains all about It, and in the middle of such scenery as one does not often get the chance of seeing. , "Well, for some months X dug away gayly s t my claim, but at length the very sight of a pick or of a washingtrough- became hateful to me. A hundred times a day I cursed my own folly for having invested eight hundred pounds, which was about all that I was worth at the time, in this gold-mining. But like other better people before me, I had been bitten by the gold bug, and now had to take the consequences. I had bought a claim out of which a man had made a fortune—five or sit thousand pounds at least—as I thought, very cheap; that is, % had given him five hundred pounds for it. It was all that I had made by a very rough year's elephant hunting beyond the Zambest I sighed deeply and prophetically when I saw my successful friend, who was a Yankee, sweep up the roll of the Standard Bank notes with the lordly air of the man who has made his fortune, and cram them into his breeches pockets. 'Well/ I said to him^the unhappy vender—'It is a magnificent property, and I only hope that my luck will be as good as yours has been.' He smiled; to my excited nerves it seemed that he smiled ominously, as he answered me in a peculiar Yankee rawl: 'I guess, strangers as I ain't the man to want to turn a dog's stomach against bis dinner, more especial when there ain't no more going of the rounds; as far as that there claim, well, BWS been a good nigger to me; but suIm sphtaiolln refcaorm manedn dw Pidiseo.

Yes, that is loneliness pure and undented; but to one who knows and loves it, the wilderness is not lonely, because the spirit of nature is ever there to keep the wanderer company. He finds companionship in the rushing winds—the sunny streams babble like Nature's children at his feet high above him, In the purple-sunset, are domes and minarets and palaces, such as no mortal man hath built, In and out of whose flaming doors the glorious angels of the sun do move continually. And then there is the wild game, following Its feeding grounds in .great armies, with the spring-buck thrown out before them for skirmishes; then rank upon rank of long-faced blesbuck, marching and wheeling like Infantry; and last the shining troops of quagga and the fierce-eyed shaggy vilderbeeste to take the place of The great cossack host that_hangs upon an army's flanks. "Oh, no," be would say, "the wilderness Is not lonely, for, my boy, remember that the farther you get f oni m*n. the nearer you greir to God," and though this is a sayinj^iiai might well be disputed, it is one I am sure that anybody who has watched the sun rise and set on the limiUess^deseried plains, and seen the thunder chariots roll In. majesty across the depths of unfathomable sky, will easily understand. Well, at any rate he went back again, and now for many months I have heard nothing of him, and to be frank, X greatly doubt if anybody will ever hear of him again. I fear that the wilderness, that has for so many years been a mother to him,'will now also prove his monument and the'monument of those who accompanied him, for the quest upon whick he aad they hare started is a wild oae indeed. But while he was in JSnglind for those three years or* so between his return froas the successful discovery of between you and me, stranger, speaking man to man now that there ain't any filthy lucre between us to obsculate the features of the truth, I guess she's about worked out!'

"'Don't look so vexed, stranger,' went on the tormentor, 'perhaps there is some shine in the old girl yet; anyway, you are a downright good fellow, you are, therefore you will, I guess, have a real Al, plate-glass opportunity of working on the feelings of Dame Fortune. Anyway, it will bring the muscle up upon your arm if the stuff is uncommon still, and what is more, you will in the course of a year (earn a sight more than two thousand dollars in value of experience/ "And he went, Just .in time, for in another minute I should have gone for him, and I saw his face no more. "Well, I set to work on the old claim with my boy Harry and a half a dozen Kafirs to help~me7 which, seeing that I had put nearly all mjntrorldly wealth into it, was the least I could do.

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

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

Chase, who attempted to murder his wife, Catherine Chase, and then commit suicide, at Detroit,, was sentenced by Judge Chapin to life imprisonment at Jackson ^prison. He took the sentence coolly, and did not exhibit the slightest trace of emotion. The crime for which Chase was sentenced was attempted December 14, l a s t He became jealous and charged his wife w i t h unfaithfulness. She denied the accusation, but Chase decided to kill her aud do away with himself, so he took a razor, went back of his wife, w h o was sitting in a chair, and pulling her head backward, he drew the razor across her throat, slashed the poor woman across the face, neck and hands. Thinking he had succeeded in killing his wife, Ohase then went to a looking glass and drew the razor across his own throat. For many days the couple hovered between life and dead, but finally^recovered and were discharged from the hospital. Mrs. Chase went to her old home, and Chase was locked up to ft»„it hi* trail. Chase is 38 years of 1J years for shooting age, and comes from a respectable family, being a son of the famous late Dr. Chase, of Ann Arbor. Reeves is serving Hagudorn.

The Ithaca Milling Co., controlling the largest flouring mill aud elevator in that part of Michigan, has been closed indefinitely. This is a serious blow to the village, and a mass meeting has been called to consider the matter. As a result of the resolution of the Michigan Soldiers' home board to discharge all able-bodied inmates, about 40 veterans will be turned out to shift for themselves.

Maximo Gomez, the insurgent commander - in - chief, with 6,000 men, stormed and captured the important city of Santa Clara on Jan. 9, and is now moving on Havana with 18,000 meu. On Jan. S, Gomez invested the city, which was garrisoned with 2,500 Spanish troops and was strongly fortified. Gomez sent the infantry under Gen. Rabi to the west of the city. The cavalry, 4,000 strong, under Quintin Bandera*^ was placed on the other three sides, its main strength being on the east. During the n e x t three days there was almost constant skirmishing and on the third day Gen. Luque, commander of the Spanish, was wounded. On the 0th at daybreak the Cubans closed in on the town, the cavalry charging over the Spanish earthworks and putting the e n e m y to flight.

Resolutions were adopted asking t h e legislature t o provide relief for Privates Kelly and Lent, of mending its ratification. Ample provision h a s been made in the treaty to ^uard against a failure of the arbitrators to agree through a tie vote. King Oscar, of Sweden, h a s been selected as the final arbiter in case of a tie vote by the arbitration tribunal on any matter. The treaty is to run for five years.

Washington: The last step, aside from the ratification of the treaty b y the congress of Venezuela, necessary to give effect to the Venezuelan arbitration agreement between the United States and Great ^5ritaib, has been completed by the formal assent of King Oscar, of Sweden, to the clause of the arbitration convention w h i c h makes him the final arbiter in case the other members of the tribunal a r e u u - able to agree. T h e congress of Venezuela meets in February and while there has been some objections raised in Venezuela to the arrangement for a settlement of dispute, it is understood that these objections are not p o t e n t enough to prevent ratification of t h e agreement in t h e face of its strong indorsement by President Crespo and t h e members of his cabinet.

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

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

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

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

The teeth are made of rubber, the base or plate and the teeth being formed integrally. These new artificial masticators will be sold for $1.50 and $2 a set. The word trocha is of such frequent occurrence in dispatches and news from Havana that it seems likely in time to become incorporated into the English speech. An explanation having been askedjof the termr^whtch is proneuncedtrotsha, with the accent on the first syllable, it may be staled that originally it denotes a footpath, pathway, or sometimes a short cut. Daring the present Cuban unpleasantness its significance has been applied to a fortified ~£igh road. on an anv^a3id^thea-4he-«ighlngL^._a^ium and puts up most of the iron the wind across the reeds suggested the flute, and then the strained sinews of the tortoise across its shell gested the harp. But far "back of that, Dr. CJiarles Sweet, the bone-setter, died at his home in Lebanon, Conn., last week. He is said to hard operated in more than 100,000 eases of bone-setting. His family for three generations have been renowned for bonesetting abilities, although no member has had more than a common school education, and none of them, ever studied anatomy. Dr. Sweet waa In Wisconsin aboat twenty ysara ago and many people will remember hit marvelous success in fixing dislocated joints. aild nearly ~ba«ck as far as the moral collapse of our first parentage Is the Song of the Drunkards. That tune was sung at least four thousand two hundred and forty-three years ago, when, the deluge past, Noah came out of the ark, and as if disgusted with too much prevalence of water, he took to strong drink and staggered forth, for Wl ages the first known drunkard. He sounded the first note of the old music of inebriacy. An Arab author of A. D. 1310, wrote: "Noah, being come out of the ark, ordered each of his sons to= build a house. Afterwards they were occupied in sowing and in planting trees, the pippins and fruits of which they curtains, and horrified ai what was done, withdrew the sword from the dead body and attempted to take his own life. In the time of Oliver Cromwell the evil was so great that offenders were compelled to wear what was called "the drunkard's cloak," namely, a barrel with one end of it knocked out and a hole in the opposite end, the arms thrust through holes at the sides of the barrel. Samuel Johnson made merry of his own inebriacy. Oh, this old song! All the centuries have joined in. Among the flrst songe ever sung was the Song of the Drunkards. Again, this Song of the Drunkards is an expensive songr The Sonntags and the Parepa Rosas and Nilssons and the other renderers of elevated and divine solos .received tbeir thousands of dollars per night in coliseums and acad? emles of music. Some of the people of small means almost pauperized themselves that they might sit a few evenings under the enchantment of these angels of sweet sounds. I paid yeyeu dollars to hear Jenny Linrl sing when it was not easy to afford the seven dollars. Very expensive is such music, but the costliest song on earth is the drunkard's song. It costs ruin of body. It costs ruin of mind. It costs ruin of soul. 'Go right down among the residential streets of any city and you can find once beautiful and luxurious homesteads that were expended in this destructive music. The lights have gone out in the drawing-room, the pianos have ceased the pulsation of their keys, the wardrobe has lost the last article of appropriate attire. The Belshazzarean feast has left nothing but the broken pieces of the crushed chalices. There It stands, the ghastliest thing on earth, the remnant of a drunkard's home. The costliest thing on earth is sin. The most expensive of all music is the Song of the Drunkards. It is the highest tariff of nations— not a protective tariff, but a tariff of doom, a tariff of woe, a tariff of death. This evil whets the knives of the assassins, cuts the most of. the wounds of the hospital, makes necessary most of the almshouses, causes the most of the ravings of the insane hand to-day on the throat of the Amer *u 8_ | lean republic. It is the taskmaster of nations, and the human race crouches under its anathema. The Song of the Drunkards has for its accompaniment the clank of chains, the chattering teeth of poverty, the rattle of executioner's scaffold, the crash of shipwrecks, and the groan of empires. The two billion twenty million dollars which rum costs the country in a year in the destruction of grain and sugar and the supporting of the paupers and the criminals which strong drink causes is only a small part of what is paid Tor this expensive Song of the Drunkards. Again, this Song of the Drunkards is a multitudinous song—not a solo, not a duet, not a quartette, not a sextette; but millions on millions are this hour man whose voice YOU hear on the street under-the starlight. • * * Furthermore, the last characteristic of the DrunkardsH Song is so tremendous that I can hardly bring myself to mention it. The Drunkards' Song is a continuous song. Once atai% £hat tune and you keep it up. You have known a hundred men destroyed of strong drink. You cannot mention five who got fully started on that road and stopped. The grace of God can do anything1, but it does not do everything. Religion saves some. Temperance societies save some. The Bowery Mission saves some. The Central Mission saves some. But one hundred thousand who arte annually slain by strong drink are not saved at all. I have been at a concert which went on for two hours anil a half, and many people got up and left because it was too/Toiig; but 95 per cent of those who are singing the Drunkards' Song will to the last breath of their lungs and the last beat of their hearts keep on rendering it, and the galleries of earth and heaven and hell will stay filled with the astounded spectators. It is such a continuous and prolonged song that one feels like making the prayer which a reformed inebriate once made: "Almighty God! If it be thy will that man should suffer, whatever seemeth good in thy sight impose upon me. Let the bread of affliction be given me to eat. Take from me the friends of my confidence. Let the cold hut of-poverty be my dwelling-place and the wasting hand of disease inflict its painful torments. Let me sow in the whirlwind and reap in the storm. Let those have me in derision who are- younger than I. Let the passing away of my welfare be like the fleeting of a cloud and the shouts of my enemies like the rushing of waters. When I anticipate good, let evil annoy me. When I look for light, let darkness come upon me. Let the terrors of death be ever before me. Do all this, but save me, merciful God! Save me from the fate of a drunkard. Amen." You see this sermon is not so much for cure as for prevention. Stop before you start, If you will forgive the solecism.

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

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

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

T was two years since Joe Beatiey had left his home in a quiet little y & ^ s w ,v-/ ^ Ohio town to seek S3 jUr^s l b n l * fortune in the wfaJXs* <* West. Fortwoyeara each working day had found him at his desk in a large mercantile house in Chicago. He had been fortunate in securing a position at once, through a brother of his town postmaster, who was now chief clerk In the office. Joe will never forget those two years—lonesome two years they were, the more lonesome, perhaps, because he had never been away from home and among strangers before. When he first came to Chicago the World's Fair and other attractions ^ a d e the city a wonderful place for the country boy, but these soon paled or passed away, and the loneliness settled upon him as he felt himself a stranger in a strange land. For a time he attended church, as had been his habit at home, but they were such large places, and the congregation and young folks dressed and acted so differently from the church folk at home that he finally got in the habit of staying away. He sorely missed his town acquaintances, the companionship of his sisters and brothers and the bright smile of Cousin Fan, who used to pop in so unexpectedly and leave such a volume of sunshine behind her when her father would come to town to do his marketing. The girls with whom some of his fellow-clerks associated, and with whom they tried to make him at home, somehow failed to fill the bill. Somehow it didn't seem right for the fellows to greet them on the street with a familiar slap on the shoulder and a "Hello, Kit, old girl, how you is?" and in spite of himself he felt too much of an aversion to them to enjoy himself or make himself entertaining and dropped them. At last a change came—gradually, to be sure, so slowly that Joe hardly knew there had been a change till It was there. For several days' the seat at the opposite end of the table in the restaurant Joe ate lunch had been occupied by a modest-appearing little woman, whose long lashes fringed the darkest of blue eyes and whose slightly pouting lips- and roundeeV-cheeks I seemed to be able Traffic In t h e Strand. A statistician says 12,000 vehicles, including 3,000 omnibuses, pass through the Strand, London* in the day, and the glowed with the natural health which can never be duplicated by art, and which only country air can give. The next_day she was in the same seat, and the next and the next, and Joe soon came to look forward, unthinkingly, to seeing the bright face of the unknown. One day the chair was vacant, and Joe, with a sense of deep disappointment, knew why it wrfs he„looked fornarrowness of-the street causes each ward so eagerly to the noonday meal. -of-the 63,0o0 occupants to waste, on_ljji0 ^iifixLimQ^time_^took particular the average, three minutes.

Pa. pains with his toilet and wasTsolm^ patient that he was at the table five minutes before his accustomed time. She was not there and his heart sank. A minute later it bounded again as he saw the well-known figure coming down the aisle. As she pulled back her chair preparatory to taking her seat, somehow or other, Joe never quite knew left, the <ehair was still vacant The next day the same experience. He reproached himself for not finding out more about her—perhape she was sick or had met. with an accident. At any rate, she knew his name and address why dldr£ she at least drop him a line? Sorery It was erttel to leave him in such uncertainty. He brooded over what might possibly have happened to her, till his health began to fail. He had never thought the daily walk of a few blocks could mean so much to him. Several weeks passed by and the chair still continued vacant On the very day his two years was up Joe remembered that she had spoken of. Oconomowoc one day in connection with her family. He would ask for a few days' respite from work and go up there. He had never asked for a vacation and they surely would not refuse him. Besides, it was not far from Chicago and many ChV^ge men went up Saturday nights to spend Sunday with their families who were stopping there. Anyhow, he would go for the rest of the week—possibly he might see her or learn of her and the change would do him good even if he didn't. The next morning, Wednesday, he started. He could only be spared for for the rest of the week, but what might not happen in four whole days? When he arrived at the depot of the pretty little Wisconsin town he found himself anxiously looking around, though he condemned himself for his foolishness in doing so—why should she be around the depot if she was in the town? After he had registered at a hotel he wandered aimlessly about the town, admiring the handsome houses and the beautiful twin lakes, and watching the launches, filled with happy campers, darting to and fro. In the afternoon he hired a boat and tried to fish, but after a couple of hours' effort, when only a couple of,sickly looking dogfish rewarded his efforts, he gave it up in disgust and returned to the hotel. At dinner that evening he was made aware of the fact that a circus was in town by a couple sitting across the table from him, who had come in from the surrounding country and were going. In the barber-shop also there was nothing talked of but the circus. It made him feel quite at home to see the enthusiasm created by, the mere "tact of-a circus being in town. How different from Chicago, where . nothing to command but passing interest. Then he remembered that at home everybody went to the eircus—why shouldn't they do it here?—and perhaps she might be there. He would go to the circus. It was a little late when Joe reached the tent: He had not calculated on how many would pe ahead of him for the single barber's chair nor how long it would take the hotel bootblack to put a satisfactory gloss on his shoes.

The boldest holdup in the history of Toledo occurred at the octtee of the Northwestern Elevator and Mill Co., when a man dashed in and pointing a revolver at the head of the cashier, cried out: "Throw up your hands, give me your money or I'll blow your head off.''

It was pa^ day at the mill and the cashier was in the act of making up the envelopes when the robber entered. Deep Waterways from Lake* to Oceans.

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

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

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

Msfcsit awhile the columns of the ^advancing cavalry are seen tossing on the ridge of the hill, apd then the flash of swords, and then the long lines of mounted troops, their horses in full gallop, and the general. says, "All is well,. Hold out, my men, a little longer. Let the sergeants ride along the lines and cheer the men and tell them reinforcements are coming." And now the rum Wing of the batteries and gun-carriages is distinctly heard, and soon they are in No more is infidelity character- j Hoe, and at the first roar of the newlyarrived artillery the enemy, a little while before so Jubilant, fall back in wild retreat, their- way strewn with canteens and knapsacks and ammunition, that the defeated may be unhlndf ered in their flight. That Is Just the way BOW. In this great battle against sin and crime and moral death the enemy seem too much for us. More grogshops than churches. More bad men than good men, and they come up with bravado and the force of great numbers. They have opened battle^upon us before we are, in our own sjC«ngth, ready to meet them, and great are the discouragements. But steady, there! Hold on! Reinforcements arecotning. Through the glass of inspiration I loojk,* and see the flash of the sword of "him who hath on his vesture and on <his thigh a name written King of kings and Lord of lords." Ail heaven is on our side and is coming to the rescue. I hear the rumbling of the King's artillery, louder than any thunder that ever shook the earth, and with every roll of the ponderous wheels our courage augments, and when tluee reinforcements from heaven get into line with the forces of God already on earth, ail the armies of unrighteousnees^ xfll see that their hour of doom has .come, and will waver and fail back ^and take flight AnOothing be left of them save here and there, strewn by te—-great j the wayside, an agnostic'^ pea broken decanter or a torn playbill of a debasing amusement or a blasphemous paragraph, or a leper's scale, or a dragon^ tooth, to show they ever existed. Let there be cheering all along the lines of Christian workers, over the LdCt that what the shovels fail to do will be accomplished by tye-thunder- bolts "Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain." . . Thn mountains look on Marathon, - And ^Marathon looks on the sea, .Shrine of the mighty can It be That this is all remains of thee! ized by its blasphemy than by its ignorance, but oh! what a high mountain of prejudice against the Bible, againsrChristianity, against churches, against all evangelizing enterprises—a mountain that casts its long, black shadows over this continent and over all continents. Geographers tell ua that Mount Everest is the highestmountain in the world. Oh, no! The mountain of prejudice against- Christianity is higher than the highest crags that dare the lightnings of heaven. Before our Zerubbabel can it ever become a plain?

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

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

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

Memorials were presented from the presidential electors of Delaware asking for a congressional investigation of alleged frauds and political irregularities in that state and Mr. lUirrows, of Michiganypresented petitions 'on the same subject which make sensational charges of briber}', corruption aud defiance of law in the political contests of Delaware.

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

It Is in two parts, the first of which makes pins and the second sticks them in paper. This will be done In full view of the visitors. A slender thread of brass wire is started in one end of the machine, ( It is cut, pointed and the head put on and the completed pin is dropped into a bath which plates it with white metal. From this receptacle the pins are dropped into a nifter, which carries them rapidly to the sticking machine, where they are stuck in regular rows in the paper and a complete paper of pins is turned o u t The mechanism of the machinery la delicately elaborate and it is one^of the most interesting exhibits in the machinery hall.—Exchan** FRANCE TO AMERICA, M A S S E N ET, T H E COMPOSER SOON TO COME.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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