Mr. Norman had in early life succeeded by questionable means in obtaining a colonelcy which Enfiek would otherwise have obtained. To make amends Norman afterward has Williamson, alias En field, appointed captain of the steamer, "Northern Pinctney File School Column. Eehoea, Item* and Opinion*, "toy «fcu« Belle," which is wrecked. Norman who thinks W. wrecked the vessel intensionally, had him arrested, and W flees from justice. He had at the time of the wreck rescued Stella, who is really Norman's daughter, and left her at an obserurt* place on the great lakes. He afterwards takes her with -him to Bald Point, where ho makes a living" by keeping summer boarders, fishing, etc. The wreck of tho vessel and loss of many lives, together with his wrongs, gradually prey upon Enfield's mind till Stella fears insanity. Mother Foresight knows his secret. Chester Norman is on the lake Survey and becomes acquainted ^rith the Enfields. Charles Norman, his foster father, calls to see him and is recog nized by En field. He and Dr. Valerian, who is a pretty thorough knave. allow Norman to depart in a small boat with a squall coming in. Mother F. gives tho alarm and Norman is saved. Persimmon and Patafford unlimited fun. Altogether the characters are venr evenly balanced. There is not an unimportant part in the play.

A chorus of children is made a court of appeals, before whom a full hearing of the claims of Mother Goose and Santa Claus are presented.

We hope they will never slacken their efforts till our school ia supplied with a good musical instrument of some kind Our school needs it. Most schools have it. A graded school without music is a misnomer. The children love music. Its influence upon them is refining, elevating, civilizing. Music is a great disciplinarian. Music in the house would be a direct benefit to every pu.- pil from the Erst grade to the twelth. The following branches are now taught in thia school: Heading, Writing, Spelling, Drawing, Geography, Grammar, Cotnpo3ifcionf Arithmetic Physiology and Hygiene, Algebra, Greometry, Civil Government, Book? Keeping, Botany, General History, U, S. History, Physics, English Literature, Rhetoric, Physical Geography, Astron* omy. Instruction is thorough and practical. Discipline is based on moral principle.

PROFESSOR OAKLAND hus a story in a recent number of Ilarper's Weekly entitled "Under The Lion's Paw." It is a Kansas story and has reference to the land question. Kansas has the happy faculty of getting into literature more frequently than any of the sisterhood. THE Indians of the Five Nations take great interest in news from th« Burrounding states, as well as within the borders of their own nations. Ten weekly newspapers are published within the territory, and a number of daily newspapers from the states are taken by the Indians. THE great secret of success in life Is this: Do whatever you can do best, regardless of any competition, and when you have decided what you can do best, do it with all your might and with all your energy, not overtaxing the system, but devoting the entire business time to one industry.

THE depredations of the seal pirates in Alaskan waters are becoming no serious that the Alaska Commercial company will not renew its lea#e of the American seal islands unless tho United States guarantees protection from the illicit hunter. The result of the indiscriminate slaughter that is one of the reprehensible features of hunting done on the sly is already evident in a decrease in the ayarage size of seals taken. IT will, perhaps, strike most people as somewhat odd that there is a steady importation to America of Irish jaunting- cars. According to the carriagemakers, a certain number of enthusiastic Irishmen have a yearning after their native form of conveyance at certain periods of their lives, and straightaway send over to Ireland for a car. Once here, however, the cars ore usually laid, .irside after the novelty has worn^ff.

Aud lapsing time but seems to me As foam upou the blue waves' crest; 2 see the Southern Cross at night liurning in spleudor o'er my head, And day but briugs a new delight, • breaking in blossoms 'neatti my tread. Here in this paradise of flowers What bliss to live so close to God, To laden all ttio languid bourn With prayer and iuceuse from the sod, All that 1 kuew in that far laud, Of love and hope and dreams of fame, I write upou the shifting saud, The only record of their name. Henceforth—ah, did that jungle whirr Its blooming branches iu uiy way, While all my pulses rudely sur, As aspen orbs shoot out their ray* Thus 1 forgot a deadly foe That lurks Ltotside my altar stone, That follows mo wher er I >?o, Nor leaves me by my couch alone, I've kuowu the fear, I've felt its breath Steal o'er me w.th its blighting spoil; Sure is the puth that loiids to Death, And I've learned its power well. I've seen upou tho human cheek Tho banners of a dread decay, And seen my own dark sentence speak in gtu&tly faces duy by da-,. A slru ken throng whose steps go by ! Feeble and broken in their tread, I came to close oacli fading eye And pray beside each dying1 bed. I'd feel my young bloods ponouod thrill And die thus slowly for their sako; Even a leper at His will If closer at His feet to wake. TESSA. CHAFIEU IX. forgotten altogether—that the last word—last message should be for Antony! ' With a passionate eob he raised the shrunken form in nib arms, looked once into the face, then placed it reverently back upon the pillowa. '•Too late, Tessa! It is all ended now,11 he said, with a great borrow, a passionate regret in hi» voice. But Tessa, with an expression of awe on her face, had turned away, and was looking from the dead woman's pale face to the golden dawn. "Kuded, do you sayP" she said, gently. "Nay; I think it is%just beginning for her.1' Hour after hour would Tessa sit by her side, holding1 her hund, listening to the stories of Antony's boyhood, and receiving the last messages of eternal love and perfect forgiveness. Mrs. Callonder would come and stand by the bed in awkward silence, or creep about the room in her creaking shoes; and Austen would bring hi*. book and sit silently in tho shadow of the window curtains; but Mrs. Bevan wanted neither of them; it was only Tessa she needed now--Tessa's strong young ringer round which her feeble clasp lingered—Tessa's love and tenderness, which went with her to the very gate of the dark valley, and cheered her through the mists and shadows. Auston grew to feel ashamed of his unworthy suspicions and evil thoughts as he watched the girl's care and devotion. Sometimes he thought ho would tell her what he had seen and ask for an explanation; but still ho hositatod. If he was wrong—if it was not Tessa whom ho had seen in the laurel-walk—tho question would be an insult; and, if she —Auston could not trust himself to think of that alternative. So ho waited; and day after day the shadow of the coming change grow darker over tho household. "She has been much worse to-day. Austen," Mrs. ('allendor said sadly one evening, as she met her brother in tho hall, "^ho does not seem to know me—any one but lessa. And Bho has talked so much of Antony today. 11 It was years since tho name of the one who had disgraced them had boon mentioned between the brother and sister; and Mrs. Callender hesitated and lowered her voice as she spoke. "She has been a little delirious, I think, for she speaks as if she had seen and spoken to him quite lately.1' "Who is with hor now?'1 "Only Tessa; she does not seem to want any one else,1* Mrs. Callender said, with a sigh. Auston went up-stairs and entered his mother's room. One glance told him that his sister was right—that the end was very near. He felt the unaccustomed tears rush Into his eyes as he looked at the still peaceful face and the sunken eyes, which were radiant with a great calmness—a perfect peace. The evening was very hot and oppressive, and Tessa had opened the windows to admit all tho air possible. Mrs. Bevan looked up as Austen entered, and her eyes lingered for a moment on his fate; but there was no trace of recognition in that quiet indifferent gaze, and her eyes soon turned from him and rested on Tessa's fa.ee. "Sing it again, please, Tessa,11 the low voice said. "The same hymn, dear?1' Tessa had to stoop to catch the feoble words. ' " "Yes—tho same." There wore blinding tears in Tessa's eyes; but, with an etlort, she steadied her voice and sang one of the hymns which sho had learned long ago in the convent, while Mrs. Bo van lay and listened with closed eyes and a smiling face. The night passei, and the dawn was breaking before sho spoke again. "Tessa, you will remember—my love, my. best love to Antony,11 she said in a clear distinct voice; and then the tirod eyes closed. Au>ten sprang forward with a little passionate, incoherent cry . It was so hard that she should go likethis—that he, who had loved her so well and dearly, who had been such'a good son, led such a blameless life! should be Tessa was in *he garden one evening, saunieringi up and down the laurel-walk. On the following day the funeral was to take place, and the house was already full of visitors— cousins and nephews who had been invited to attend. No one had been leii out or forgotten but the one person whom poor Mrs. Bevan would have wished to bo present, Tessa thought sadly. The dead woman, who had been of so little account to anyone in her lifetime, bad suddenly become invested with all the dread importance which death gives oven to the meanest and lowliest ones. Mrs.Callender, who had systematically overlooked and ignored hor when alive, now spoko of hor with lowered voice and in a tone of deepest respect and affection, which half amused, hulf irritated Tessa. The girl had slipped unobserved out of the drawing room—where the female relatives wore discussing under their breath the merits of the dead woman—into tho cool scented garden. Austen and moat of the gentlemen were still in the dining room, and sho was free to wander up und down undisturbed. She opened the gate by-and-by and looked out in o the quiot lane. The twilight was gathering rapidly; hero and there a glow worm twinkled its tiny lamp on the hedge, and a few stars shone feebly in tho clouded sky. As she stood leaning against the gate she noticed a man's tigure approaching down the lana. He walked slowly, and his hat was pulled down over his eyes, and, as he came nearer, Tessa recognized Antony Bevan. With a quick impulsive movement sho went forward to meet him and held out her hand. "Mr. Bo van—you know?" she asked softly. "Yen, I know. I got your note this morning; and I could not rest—I folt I must come; I fancied I might possibly j see you,11 he said hurriedly. "Whon was it?11 "Throo days ago,11 lessa glanced anxiously back at the house. The dining-room windows overlooked the laurel walk; but, to hor relief, the blinds were drawn down and the gas lighted. "Did she speak of mo?1' "Speak of you? I don't think she ever thought of anyone but you,11 Tessa said with sad directness. "Sho sent you a message with her dyin<" breath.11 "What was it?" Resolutely Anthony forced himself to speak calmly; but the drawn face and set lips told Tessa how hard tho struggle was, and her heart ached for him. " *My love to Anthony—my best love'—that was all. Sho never thought of Austen—of anyone but you,11 Tessa said sadly. "I am glad of it; confound him!11 and Anthony's eyes flashed angrily. "He has kept us apart all these years. She would have forgiven me and sent for me long ago; but she dared not because of him.11 Tessa's cheeks flushed. It was one thinsr to be sorry for Antony, but quite another to stand by and hear Austen blamed-whether justly or unjustly mattered not to her one whit. She was his chosen wife; Bhe must stand up for and defend him loyally before all the world. She looked up with indignant eyes. ' "ABk yourself-was there no cause?" she said coldly. "Contrast his life, his pure blameless life—with yours:11 "Oh, I know! Austen was always a saint"—and Antony gavo a bitter Bneoring laugh—"always the straitest member of the atraite.it sect of the Pharisees! He was never like other young men—never knew their temptations and follies.'1 "You have no light to speak against him"—Tes-a raised her pretty pale face proudly—"to mo at all events— and I will not listen!11 "Ah, I forgot! ] and Anthony put a detaining hand gently upon the girl's arm. "No; 1 had no right to do so. You are to bo Austen's wife, I hear?'1 "Ves.11 To sa looked bsick into tho eyex which wero regarding hor with an odd companion with a defiant smilo. "Ah he was always tho lurky ono!'1 —and Antony gave nn envious laugh. "He gets all tho good things of life! And so you are to be my sister Miss CardineP Well, I don't envy Austen many of his pos essions, but I do envy him his wife,'' he added with a hard laugh. Tossa looked at him wis! fully. "You are married yoursolf, «re you not?11 she asked. "Is your wife living? 11 "Yes; we have three children now. I dare say they have told you hard things about my wife, Miss Cardine— have they not? She is not a lady, you knew; but she is a good woman, and she has been a good wife to me. Poor Milly!" he went on, with the old indetinuble regret in his voice. *'I should like you to know her some duy, Miss Cardine. I think you would like her.11 "I should like to see the children. Perhaps Austen will let me come some day." Tessa said doubtfully. Antony laughed. "If you wait till then—till Austen forgives," ho said, with an expressive gesture which finished the sentence as completely a»s any syoken words could have done. "But you will be equally welcome, Miss Cardine, whether you come with his permission or without it. Let me give you my address/1 He wrote a few words on a card and gave it to Tessa. "That will always find me. And now 1 want to ask of you one great favor—let me see my mother once more.11 Tessa shank back. "Oh, I cannot! Mr. Bevan. you ought not to ask me—Austen would bo so angry,'1 she faltered. "He need never know. Where aro thoy all now?1' "The ladies are in the drawingroom; Austen and tho gentlemen in the dining-room," Tessa answered; "but, indeed, you must not ask me. (Jo to the house, Mr. Bevan—ask Austen yourself. He will not deny you this, I am sure/1 "Go to the house—ask a favor of Austen and bo refu ed? No, Mis3 Cardino, I enn't do that,1' Austen answered firmly. "Then I am very sorry, buo I can not do what you ask/1 Tessa answered tirmly. " I have stayed too long as it is; I must fro back now." She cast an anxious glance behind her as sho spoke, then held out hor hand to Antony. •'Good-bye; I am sorry, but I cannot do it," she faltered as she met the look of intense pleading in his eyes. Vainly she tried to draw her hand from his determined clasp. "Think a little, Miss Cardine, before you refuse," he said in a low passionate voice. "Perhaps you cannot understand what this is to me—how I long to see her aga'n. No, you don't understand me—how can you? But some day, perhaps, whon the ono who loved you bo-t is lying dead and cold, and your heart is aching vainly for one last look before the earth hides the dead face "from you forever, then you will understand.'1 Tessa looked tip with awe-struck solemn eyes. Tho words sounded like a prophecy in her ears. What if Antony should be right—that some day she should long and long vainly for ono last look upon some dear dead face? She drew her hands suddenly away. "Wait here. I will see if it is possible/ 1 sho said; and, without waiting to hoar Antony's incoherent words of gratitude, sho ran quickly back to the house. TO BE CONTINUED. Mummies as Medicine. Among the standard medicines quoted in the medical books of Nuremberg of 200 years ago are "portions of the embalmed bodies of men's flesh brought from the neighborhood of Memphis, whoro there aro many bodies that have been buried for more than 1,000 years, called mumia, which have been embalmed with costly salves and balsams, and smell btrongly of myrrh, aloes, and other fragrantthings/' The learned doctors of France, Germany and Italy all made gj^eafuse of this eccentric drug, and in the seventeenth century grievous complaints arose of its adulteration. Mr. Poinet, chief apothetary to the French king, recorded that the king's physician went to Alexandria to judge for himself on this matier, and, having made friends with a Jewish dealer in mummies, was admitted to his storehouse, whore he saw piles of bodies. He asked what kind of bodies were used and how they were, prepared. Tho Jew informed him that he took such bodies as he could get, whether they died of some disease or some contagion. He embalmed them with the sweepings of various old drugs, myrrh, aloes, pitch and gums; wound tiffin about with cere cloth and then dried them in an ovon, after which he sent them to Europe and marveled to see that tho Christians were lovers of such filthiness. But even this revelation did not suffice to put mummy physic out of fashion, and wo know that Francis I of France always carried with him a well-tilled medioine chest, of which this was the principal ingredient. A traveler a so records how one of his friends found in the tombs of (ihizoh a jar carefully sealed, which he opened and found to contain such excellent honey that ho could not resist eating a good deal of it, and was only checked in his feast' by drawing out H hair, whereupon ho investigated further and found the body oi' an ancient Egyptian baby in good condition and adorned with jewels.' He does not record how he enjoyed that meal in retrospect. Imagine dining off tho honeyed essence ot a baby Pharaoh! Lack j* Cfaenej. Fort Smith (Ark.) Times, Oot. 10, Mr. D. H.

Your order is devoted to the battle against the Rum Power, and is one of tiio great agencies through which the redemption of the land from its tyranny must come. Every one of you no doubt realizes that the watch ward of progress in the temperance cause is education! We must educate, educate, educate the people into a right and understanding of the temperance problem; to realize that Rum is a poison; to recognize the traffic therein as the giant evil of our age and generation.— Toledo Blade. . Another of those nice blotters of "which we have already made mention shows a winged cherub carrying a Dictionary Holder under one arm •and saying: "I am making a flying trip in the interest of education. The basis of education is the dictionary, and the base of the dictionary should be a Noyes Holder. The valued unabridged is of little value unless it is getatable (look this word up.) A book held edge up gets full of dust, soiled and spoiled unless hugged together with strong springs. Only the Holders manufactured by LaVerne W. Jsoyea, the originator and inventor of Book Holders, have such springs," Send to him, at Chicago, a two-cont stamp to pay postage and receive in return this •series of blotters. T h e work of collecting the material for the tenth census will require the services of 175 supervisors and 42,000 enumerators. T h e hitter force will b e employed only a b o u t six weeks.

TJulletins embodying the more important statistical information will be issued from time to time as facts a r c received and properly collected. a m i the l T c s s . All newspapers arc my personal friends. J have been betrayed by about every class of men in t h e world, b u t never by a newspaper man, a n d believe there is a spirit, of fairness abroad in the newspapers, that is hardly to be found nnvwhere else. There is no man, however poor, if he has been done an injustice that cannot g e t himself set right b y t h e newspapers. We find a great deal of fault with the. newspapers. [ Y j - haps by our own intiistiiu-lnos. we are reported a s saying what we did not say, and there is a regular riot of commas and semi-colans and periods about the "blundering printing press," or sometimes we take up a paper full of social scandals ami divorce cases, and we talk about the filthy, scurrilous press; hut 1 could preach a whole sermon on the everlasting blessing of a good newspaper. A good newspaper is the grandest temporal good that God has given to the; people of this century. My idea of a good newspaper is a mirror of lift? itself. Some people complain because the evil of the world is reported as well as the good. The evil must be printed as well as the g^od, or how would we know what to </u ird ajjainst, or "what to reform? There is a chance for discrimination as to how much space shall be given to reports of such things as priz^ lights; but the newspaper that merely presents the fair and the beautiful and the bright side of life, is a misrepresentation. That family is best qualified for the duties of life who have told them not only what goot.l there is in the world, but what evil is in the world, and to select the good and reject the evil. •'Doctor,*1 sae said, " I have sent to consult you on a very serious matter. 1 have for a long time Buffered f*om pains iii my head, and have consulted many physicians without receiving any benefit.

Warden Hatch will probably find out before he leaves the Jackson tate prison that he cannot tieatthe prisoners confined there as pets.

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

The Secretary--Said thai it certainly was not his pm^HTae to make any such wholesale withdrawal, but that the question of the^vvrCndrawal of a portion of tho fund iu di^fository banks has been under consideration lor some time, and he fully recognized the necessity of calling injiutJn portion as could be withdrawu ^itorn the banks Without serious incouvenience to trade i*nd commercial interests as early as practicable. Tho Secretary said further in response to questions that while he thoroughly disapproved of the policy of deposits in banks in excess of amounts required for tho transaction of current public business, ho luily appreciated the importance of proceeding iu a careful and conservative way in making withdrawals, and the public could rest assured that whatever steps are takeu in that rcgurd will be of such a char •cter as to produce the least possible linancial disturbance. The Secre tary said that withdrawal, when muiie, will be for he sole purpose of reinvesiment in United States bonds. ' He said, also, m answer to a direct inquiry on the subject, that the government for many years past has had on deposit with bunk's through which its current business is transacted from $10,000,000 to j^O,000,000, and that ho saw no good reason why this policy should bu changed.

Tho grain of truth seems to be that Archbishop Satolli was instructed to sound tho Catholics of this country on the advisability of making such a proposition to the government of the United States, He sounded some of them while at the congress in Baltimore, und the statements they made caused the prelate to stop right there.

CHARLESTON, S. C , NOV. 2U—The farmer s alliance now claims a membership of .'.0,000 in this state, which means that it has over *wo thirds of the whole voters of the state. The alliance has the support of the best of the agricultural element, aud its officers command the respeetof their fellow citizens. The alliance stands committed to one giuDt boycott and that i« against all trusts and combines. That doctrine is a cardinal principle of the order. The members are taught to regard tne trust a* the fouutaiu of all agricultural ills. This year a practical light was made and the result has been satisfactory to the alliance. The jute bagging trust was singled out und war was declared. The alliance forbade their members from using tlie jute bagging. Cotton bagging was adopted as a substitute, and several large mills in different sectiousot' tho south were kept busy supplying the demand lor the farmers' covering for cotton. Jute buggiug dropped in price, but that had ro effect upon the f rmers, who declared that they were lighting for principle uud not for money.

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

Ihe brass knobs on the dresser, aad even the pouduluui ot the loud ticking old clock shone like burnished gold, reHecting the beams of tiruliglit which brightened the dusky room. The tea kettle sang merrily, and Aunt Esther passed to aud fro, preparing the evening meal, and watching for the reluru of her husband from the wood lot. A little girl stood by the western window, trying to read by the fastfading light. Her delicate fa^o, long, shining curls and dainty apparel, formed a bright contrast to the plain room. "What are yvon looking for in the almauac, my child? jour eyes-" "I'm trying to find i 1 ' You'll injure when Thanksgiving is ; but 1 can't see any long- er.

We'll hure • s e *t those big turkeys, aud a jolly tint, won't we?" "I'm airaid not, dear, what put fbftt in yoar little head? " "Why, auntie, you told me when I first came that those turkeys were for Thanksgiving, I've thought ot'ifc erer rinee.*' Oh, yea, I did tell yon BO, Lucy, but 1 meant that we raise them to sell for Thanksgiving. We havu not kept the day sine* we were tirst married; your ancle doesn't care for such things. I miiswed it sadly at tirst, for we always kept the holidays when I was a girl at Jhowe, but I've got use to it now after all these years. "I don't think I could," ventured the child, looking solemnly through the tw light at the turkeys, comfortably settled for the night on the bare limbs of the old applo tret*. "Well, don't shed any tears yet, Lucy; if you can get Uncle Jerry to consent, I'll do IUV part. Better not speak of it until after supper," t*lio added in a whisper, as she heard her husband's footsteps at the door. So, with what patience she could command. Lucy wainted till tho supper was cleared away, ami they were gathered around tho crackling woodtire. Aunt Asther with her knitting And Uncle Jerry with his paper. , Lacy was his only sister's child, 8h* was spending sevemi months With him, while her purenis traveled IB the South, hoping to benolit her mother's health. Two brothers and one s st.er were at college, and were to spend their Christmas holidays at the farm house. 'Ibis was tho lirst time Lucy hail been so long from home, and occasionally sho sufl'ercd from homesickness; anil now, with the fear that the loved holiday was to be slighted, an attack of that dread malady wa.s certainly imminent. She felt her courage ebbing away, and hopelessly sat very still, looking straight into the tire, till all the curling, writhing tlames melted into one broad shnot of bright mistiness, and then—there were two big tears on Ler rosy cheeks. Uncle Jerry, who, underneath his hard exterior, had a really kind heart, was watching her over his paper, r»d •aw the tears, the sly, quick brush of two little white hands, and a brave effort to keep back a sob which was struggling to escape. "Homesick!" t t f c h t 'and no wonder, with two folks like us," and tor a le wanted to take her in his sooth her as her own father )ut he had so lqtfig repressed all tender ways, that lie could not manifest his sympathy. But something must be done. Rising abruptly, he took a pan from the dresser and started for the cellar.saying: "Esther, hold the light for me; I want some of them fall apples; they won't keep long." By a time a share of the fruit had disappeared, Lucy had regained her good spirits, and. with new courage, exclaimed: "Uuple Jerry, c;iu't we hare Thanksgiving this year? I'd like to.1' M n , child. What would it p MR '' liy/we'd have a jolly time. We always did at home.1* . "Yes; a big dinner one day and the doctor the n e x t " 1 "It never made me sick—never in the world.11 •« "But what*s the good, anyhow?'1 > "Mamma thinks it's good, and she's always right. Just last year papst thought we'd better not have a dinner, for mamma wasn't strong, and we were i o dteappo nted — I was. anyway I mamma put her arm round me sald: 'We'll all help and do the we ©an* for we musn't uiias keeping a holiday. When my boys and givls have left home aud goae out into the world, I want them to have the remembrance of a happy ch Id hood and a pleasant home to help Lhvm over the hard places they will tind. It will make them better men and women, I'm Bure; so order the turkey, papa.1 I remember it all, Uncle Jerry, cause 1 thought maniRja was going to cry, her voice trembled so, and I believe I should have cried myself if she hadn't said 'turkey.'" "She never had many good times to remember,11 said Uncle Jerry, thinking of their hard, orphaned hie. "Perhaps that is why she wanted her children to be always happy," suggested Aunt Ksther. "Yes, she said so once," continued Lucy, picking apple seeds out of a core; "and 1 think. Uncle Jerry, if you had some little boys and girls, you'd feel diftereut about it. But I'm your little girl this) ear; won't you do it lor rue?" She was almost frightened us she looked up and met his stern, white face. ••It's your bedtime uow, Lucy," interrupted her aunt. "We'll think it over lill njoruiny." And Lucy was glad to retire to the adjoining room, wondering what she "could have said to make Lncle Jerrv look so—so dreadful!" An hour later Jerry Winters broke the silence, which wus already becoming oppressive: "I suppose we must do something or the child will be homesick." **Ye8." answered his wife. "Don't see how 1 <;an stop ehoppin' a day, with that contract on my hands, and Jake and Steve have both be^tred oil' for Thanksgiving. 1 suppose nothing less than a turkey will satisfy that child?" "No; but we can well afford it. Who is goin<r to have our money after we are gone? We may as well muke the child happy and have a good time once in our live-*.'"' "She might be happy anyhow. It seems a waste to me, 1 must confess." "Well, Jerry, we never wasted very much that way, anil it strkes me that if we had had more holidays, sind had made the old larin house more eongenal to a young, lively spirit, we would have had our sen wiihas in oar old age*", "Esther!*' "1 know we haven't mentioned hint for years. Jeremiah; but, for all that, neither of us has lived a day without thinking of him." "Well, 1 did my dutv by him, if ever a father did by his c h i l d " "We did what we thonght was for his best good; but I fear we made some mistakes." "Ho was wild as a young coalt: nothingcould tnmehim!" Ihe lather spoke impatiently and .scowled hard, lest his face miirht show the lore aud lou^iDg in his heart. "Ho was full of life and tiery, too; and, instead of guiding him ^eutly in traces which could not gail, we bound bun, as it were, so tightly that he broke tho fetters and disappeared. We warned him to be old and stcadv, and his young spirit could not be subdued. 1 see it all no v. There were no companions for him, no 'jolly times,' as Lucy says, and noihing about the old farm worth staying for." Mo answer but a smothered groan. "There, Jerry, I ain't blaming you more than I do myself. We were wrong, and tho bov was wrong, too. If wo only knew where to lind him, we might make it all rijrht before we die. I'll wariant he has longed io return, but pride and feur have kept him back. He can't know how we long tor him, for lie never knew how nuieh we loved him; we never told him!" "Oh, Ksiher!" "WelC father, I won'ts^y anymore. All these thoughts have been crowded ilowd in my heart so lon<r that I bad to speak, und I tuJuk it'll do us good, after all." She drew nearer and laid her head on his shoulder, while tears rolled down her wrinkled cheeks, and thus they sat far into the night The next day, among the families of the neighboring farmhouses, there was but one topic ©f conversation: The invitation to spend Thanksgiving with Jeremiah Winters. The eventful day came at last. Lucy with a dozen boys and girls, made the rafters ring with their glad shouts. Downstairs the best room was filled with the hum of elderly voices recount ng "old times, ' while in the sitting-room the young people were eating apples aud'eonuting the seeds, with much jest and laughter, sly glances and blushes. In the ktchen a long table was loaded with ^ood things, while Aunt Esther, with plenty of lielp. was completing the preparations for dinner. Uncle Jerry excitedly went from room to room, trying to appear as if this sort of thiny was of common occurrence in h s house. For the tirst t me in her life, h s wile had asserted her right to <>nt»>rl>i n her fr ends, and now he felt glad llmt she had persevered. He was surprised to lind what pleasant neighbors he had. It was night, and 1he merrymaking was at its height. The walls echoed laughter and song, and from every window lights gleamed far out into the darkness. From the village depot, live mile* nway, a traveler was walking over the lonely road as if eager to join the joyous party; but when at length he camt! MI sight ot the many lights, he stopped in amassment. Nearer anil nearer be came, till through the unshaded windows he saw the friendly aoetie within. With a ylnd smile on his INCH he turned away, and, standing in the drop shadow of a pine, he watched lon^j and patiently. At last, after a host of thanks and pleasant "farewell*," all was still and only three sat in the deserted rooms. A hush fell over them, and they looked thoughtfully mlo the flickering tire. Lucy, climb.ng on her uncle's knwe, thanked him MO prett Jy tor the day's pleasure that he bent aud kissed her. Then, holding out his hand loh.s wife, he sakl: " I'h's little lady has thanked me, but we both ought to thank you. It has been aplea>ant day t o m e . " This wftsa great deal for this man to say, and thuy were silent again, but each one happy through makingoihera glad. Then tho door opened und a stranger entered. h u was tall and heavily bearded; hut a mother's eye will know her own, and, with a cry which expressed the yearning of years, 'My boy!" she was folded in his strong embrace, wi» le about them both were clusped the father's trembling arms. No one knew how long they sat together— the long separated family once more united. Lucy with wide open ev<'S, enjoyed to the utmost this crowning excitement, much pleased with the tall cousin of whom she had never heard.

The Treaty-Making- Power. A Washington correspondent of 77/e New York Evennig l'e*t writes asfolfovrs: Frank llurd, of Oh o, has tho reputation wt being one ot the a b e s t institution:*! lawyers n either branch of congre-s, lie is now here, and intends to remain here during the winter if he shall have the good fortune to have the contest lor his seat in the lower house aga nst Koineis decided in h.s favor. He thinks that of tiiis there can be no doubt. Referring to the^report that there will be formidable opposition to the Mex can treaty abi.ng act Mr. Ilurd said that in h.s judgement there is no nted of an enabling act, and that if the president des res to have; that treaty go into effect he need only is*ue an executive proclamation announcing that the treaty has been ratilied. Mr. Hurd takes the ground that unless tho treaty in its terms expressly declares that it is not to go into effect mini some specific law shall have been enacted by congress there can be no doubt that the treaty, when ratilied and so declared by executive proclamation; is the supremo law of tho laud, mid that it repeals all acts ot congress which are inconsistent with it. This he maintains is the proper interpretation of the treaty-making power under the constitution, and it is tin* v e w which is sustained by all of the leading judicial deciMons. Tim proposed reciprocity treaty with Mexico does not mention any spec; lie act that must be passed to g.ve it oll'eet. It speaks, only ot the "necessary le.gisiatiqu^>"in the broadest way. ^ The theory which M~rT Hurd advocates is one thatjs-ifollv contested by protectionist>'-"6f the house, and by those who; while not protectionists, Dunk that the exercise of the treatymaking power by the senate, in the manner suggested by Mr. Hind, is an encroachment on the prerogative of the house and a violation of the provisions ot the constitution of tho United States which g j o to the hou e the right to originate revenue bills. If the theory that the treaty-making power is supreme is to be maiutaned, its opponents hold that it is quite possible for the senate and Ihe executive to usurp all the functions of the house in the matter of revenue legislation. Mr. Hurd does not undertake to say whether the reports that the administration is opposed to giving effect to tho Mexican treaty are true or not. But Mr. Hurd expresses a very positive opinion as to what he understands to be the policy of the treasury department with respect to specific duties. He gives credit to the reports which state that Secretary Manning is likely lo recommend to congress the substitution of specific for advalorem duties as a means for the prevention of frauds through undervaluation. Mr. llurd even says: "1 do not see how any man can advocate specific duties and be a democrat. The old historical contest between the whiffs and the democrats turned np- OK this quwtioi, and if the democracy shall declare tor spec tic ma against R-dvalorem 4aties, it will violate all of its tradition!, and will increase the U..-J— -« --."^MBS t&xatioa which will k*9» ft* \n ft«?a* by the pour.1' Mr. HardtiaAerrtaMt* -that the interrogatortoi w%i*k rfc* treasury department has seat o»t for the purpose of obtaining information upon tho tariff are directed to the substitution of specific tor ad valoremjlwtfes. "The WAV to prevent fruu.4- through undervaluation," said^Mr. llurd, "is to have elUeje-Hf' and honest collection ortieen*, find not to substitute speciho for ad valorem dMties. •LOYER RLOSSOM CO TKADS XAJQE • 33?

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

Dr."Whitne y reporte d seven cases of preniatur o injur y to th o vision in Japanes e student s from exposure : to sunlight durin g eclipse. On anothe r occasio n an enginee r was rendere d blind by exposur e to th e light of ix powerful electri c arc. Tho intense - glaro of tho eno w is also productiv e of blindness . I t is no t unusua l for wood^ m 11 or hunter s to becom e so nllected . Th e intens e glare of th e tropica l seas also produce s blindness , known as "moo n blindness, " erroneousl y attribute d to th e effect of th e rays of th o moon , but in realit y caused by th e sun' s rays. Light is essentia l for tho developmen t of vision, as th e retin a mus t have :i certain amoun t of stimulu s to develop its action . I n illustratio n of thi s fact we may bimply refer to th e blind fish of tho Mammot h cave. Disease in various forms plays a par t in causin g blindness . At one tim o smallpox was u most prolific causo of loss of sight. Measle s an d othe r eruptiv e fevers still cause muc h blindness .

This form of disease is exceedingly contagious , an d a. similar form of disease finds its origin in school s an d institution s where cleanlines s is overlooked . Epidemic s of pinkey e sliil live within tho recollectio n .of man y present . While thea o diseases do not , as a rule, lead to blindncs a directly , yet tho secondar y suits are) baneful.—Dr . L.

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

For the first time since its establishment after the fall of the commune the world can tee no formidable dangers threatening its security. The monarchy is a ghost of the past, which rises no more from the bloojjy grave where it was laid a hundred years ago and where at last it rests in peace. WHATEVER progress has been made in the improvement of society has been secured by the exposure of its evils and the attack upon injustice, dishonesty and wrong wherever it exists. There is plenty of room for improvement; and the critics of evil in the present day are furnishing the influence which, if effective, will make the next generation better than this, as this is better than iU predecessor.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Pentlieton, Ex-Minister to Grermany Dead, Hon, George H. Peudleton, ex-minister of the United States to Germany, died in Brussels Nov. 2">. George H. Pendleton was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on the 2.'ith oi .July, 18^5. Ho received an academical education, read law and was admitted , to the bur.

Pendleton'a name was on the same ticket as candidate for the vice presidency. In 186» he was nominated by the democratic party for governor of the state, but, being unable to make a canvass, Was defeated. Since that time he has served a most honorable and distinguished term in the United States senate, and after his historic retirement from that position he devoted his time to his private business, until his «ppointment as minister to Germany by President^ Cloveltind.

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

A simple glance over tbe list of American authors is iu itself a convincing evidence that literature is not so profitable as our literary p iragra^hers would have us believe. The Home Journal says few of our molorn authors find themselves able to depend entirely upon the revenues of their worn. I will not say that they could not do so; I merely state the fact that they do not Mr. Cable, for example, devotes considerable time to lecturing. Mark Twain is now more of a publisher than an xuthoi*. Joel Cuandler Harris is an editor as is Richard Henry Stoddard. Dr. Holmes found hia medical practice immensely valuable to him for years beforo he reached an j eminence in literature- accorded to but I few. Marion Marland and Margaret E. Sangster both find the editorial chair profitable; likewise John Habberton, Mr. Aldrlch, Mr. Warner, and Mr. Gilder. Bret Harte's consulate was not accepted purely for the honor it brought Mary Mapos Dodsre doubtless finds more peace of mind in the assured iioone which her position as editor of St Nicholas brings her than in the lottery of simple authorship. Fish are not weighed in their own scales, simply because nsh scales are not built that weigh. In Mourning. •. Washington Capital: "Waiter," sh-a inquired at the restaurant "have you any black bread?"

And the beft, feature of the above statement ia that we sincerely believe it. Teachers, don't run tn, a groortf,- don't become stereotyped, don't lose your elasticity. Humanity's natural laziness sometimes tempts strongly in t hat direction. W<e have known teachers to start oat with an exeeljjent plan of work for \ht term, a plan which included many commonly neglected though important things* but .after • few spasmodic efforts at carrying ou£ toe plan, pronld , quietly settle down into the dull weU-worn channel,in which their predecessors rumbled along.; There isn't nsturalf orce enough in. sucl* a teacher's character to help him out upon the broad plain of progress. Ho needs a stimulus! Teachers, carry through your lines of work until you reach results, and be, ever on the alert to better the condition of yonr. school*.

Stanley's friend and companion in Africa and who has only lately returned, is an Englishman only twenty-six years of age. He had a natural fondness for adventure, and, as his parents refused their consent he ran away to tea, landing in Australia where he joined a strolling circus as a horizontal bar prodigy. He did not remain long in this position, but started alone and afoot for the unknown interior of Australia with the purpose of getting as far away from all civilization as possible. He soon found himself ragged, barefooted, and with starvation staring him in the face, and no help within reach; a party of prospectors, however, saved him just in time. Afterwards he traveled in India and Borneo. In the latter country his oompanions died, and it took Ward six months to fight bis way back to the coast He then met Stanley in London, who secured him an appointment in the Congo state. His experiences in Africa have been of a most Taried kind. It lu now five years since he went out; he served his period of three years, and was returning home when he met the Etnin P&gcha relief expedition with Stanley at the head. He offered his services, and has been with Stanley until his return to £ngland a short time ago. The supreme court of New York gives new force to the "unwritten law" that a criminal cannot profit by the fruits of his own crime, A young rascal, fearing that his grandfather would change a will made in his fa- Tor, deliberately poisoned him, and eacaped just punishment for the crime toy going to the reformatory for three years. At the expiration of his sentence he attempted to gain possession of the property, and was sustained by the lower court. The court of appeals, however, viewed the case from the etandpoint of morals of equity and declined to put a premium on murder. The point raised by the court is not covered by common law, yet the justice of the decision is indisputable, and establishes an important precedent for contingencies of the kind. f J The Parnell commission, just adjourned, dragged it§ weary length through a period of one hundred and twenty-eight days, and closed without treating the slightest ripple in pub- Mo sentiment. The even position of the court forbids the hope that its •occlusionB will be based on the evidence and justice of the Irish cause. The court was organized to determine #ie truth or falsity of the London Timee' charges against Parnell, and wfaen they collapsed in an avalanche of forgery and fraud the verdict of the world pronounced Parnell not guilty. The shot the traitor Piggot fired into hie own brain sealed the verdict, and destroyed the usefulness of the court of inquiry from that moment. In the past quarter of a eentury cotton has declined from first to fourth place among the products of ihe United States. The value of this year's crop is estimated at three hundred and sixty million dollars. Those figures are exceeded by the corn and wheat and hay crops. Hut while cotton has fallen from its high estate at home, it has no rival as an article of loreign commerce. The yield this year shows a large increase, but the demand has also increased. It is o -ttimated that the consumption for 1839- 90 will exceed that of last ye»r b>y over three hundred bale*. THE MESSAGE. The President's Advice to the Fifty First Congress. The Salient Point* o f • Very Lengthy D o c u m e n t . ' WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—President Harrison's message opens with the statement that good-will and cordiality have characterized our relations sod correspondence with other governments, and the year Just closed leaves few internal Questions of importance remaining uuadjusted, and no obstacle exists to long iwmpone the adjustment of pending questions. He refers favorably to the me«tiug of the pan-American congress, and the international marine conference; advises that ail the South American and the Hawaiian and H&ytian missions be raised to tirst-claas; wants the Chinese already in this country kindly treated; recommends that provision be made by an international agreement for visibly marking the water boundary between the United States and Canada in the narrow channels that join the great lakes; advises enlargement of the list of offenses for which extradition may be claimed and grunted between this country and Great Britain, by a new treaty to be laid before the senate; says all difficulties that prevented the beginning of the Nicaraguacaual have been adjusted; suys that Persia is treating the missionaries kindly and Inviting American capital; troubles with naturalized citizens abroad, especially in France, Italy, Russia and Turkey need adjusting; and declares that the new republic of Brazil will be recognized as soon as the people of that country have assented to its establishment. TUB 81 Within our own borders a general condition of prosperity prevails. The report of the secretary oi the treasury shows that The receipts lor the year were $387.050,058.- W; derived from customs, $2i3,b3i,741.ti9; from internal revenue, 1^30,5*1,513.V2; from miscellaneous sources, *iii,335,$98.23. The ordinary expenditures, for the same period were $281,yyo,i>l.">.60, aod the total expenditures, including the sinking fund, were $aiS,5Ty,V--KJ.2o. The excess was $57,410,- 129.59. For the total iiscal year the total revenue, actual and estimated, are fc»»o, 000,000, i.na the ordinary expenditures, actual and estimated, is fr.293,000,1)00, making with the Binking fund, a total expenditure of ffel,- 3-1,lit*.yy, leaving an estimated surplus of |43,b78,&<8.01. The existence of so large a surplus should have ihe immediate attention of congress, with a view to reducing the receipts of the treasury to the needs of the government. The collection of moneys not nseded for public uses imposes an unnecessary burden upon the people, and the presence of so large a surplus in the public vaults is a disturbing element in the conduct of private business. DAXGBROUS LOANS. The loaning of public funds to the banks without interest, upon the security of government bonds, I regard as an unauthorized and dangerous expedient. It is not to be expected that the banks having these deposits will sell their bauds to the treasury so long as the present highly beneficial arrangement is continued. They now practically get interest both upon the bonds and their proceeds. The deposits now outstanding should be gradually withdrawn and applied U> the purchase of bonds. TAHIFF KBVISIOV. I recommeud a revision of our tariff law, both to its administrative features and in the schedules. Uniformity of valuation at all our ports is essential. aDd elective measures should be taKen to secure it. Some disturbances of business m.iy result from the consideration of this. Temporary ill-effert will be reduced to the minimum by prompt action, snd by the assurance which the country already enjoys that uny necessary changed will be eo made ;is not to impair the just and reasonable production of our home industries. The inequalities of the law should be adjusted, but rhe protective principles should be maintained andjtairly applied to the products of our farms us well a9 our shops. The free list can very Bafoly be extended by placing thereon articles that do not offer injurious competition to such domestic products as our tVorue labor can supply. The removal of the internal tax upon tobacco would relieve an important ii^ricultural product from a burden which was imposed 0nly_Jiecttiise our revenue from customs duties was insufficient for the public needn. If safe provis.on against fraud can be devised, the removal of the tax upon spirits used in the arts and manufactures would also offer an unobjectiouabl © method of reducing the surplus. SILVER COINAGE. The law requiring the purchase of f2,- 000,000 worth of silver bullion each month, to be coined into silver dollars of 412>£ grains, has been observed by the department; but neither the present secretary nor any of his predecessors has deemed it safe to exercise the discretion given by law to increase the monthly purchases to $4,000,000. Wheu the law was enacted (February 28, ls?b) the price of silver in the market was $1.20 4 10 per ounce, making the bullion value of the dollar ^3 cents. Since that time the price lias fallen as low as 91.02 cents jier ounce, reducing the bullion vah*« of the dollar to 70.He. Within the last i'ew months the market price has somewhiit advanced, and on the flrstday of November last the bullion value of a Bilverdollarw. is 72 cents. The evil anticipations which have accompanied the coinage and use of the silver dollar have not been realized. As H < oin it has not had general use, and the publiv treasury has been compelled to store it. Hut this is manifestly owing to the fact that its paper representative is more convenient. The genernl acceptance and use of the silver certificate shows that silver has not been otherwise discredited. The coinage ot silver at the present ratio free would be disastrous to all business interests. Atalaterd;iy I may communicate further with oougrtss upon tins subject. 1 /JB I H l ^ L TOf.1 CHINAMAN. The enforcement of the Chinese exclusion act haa been found to bo very difficult on the northwestern frontier. Chinamen, landing at Victoria, And it easy to pass oar border, owing to the impossibility, with the force nt Ihe command of the. customs officers, of guarding so long an inland lino. The secretary of the treasury has authorized the employment of additional officers who will be assigned to this duty, anil every effort will bo made to enforce the law. THK COAST Judged by modern standards, we nro practically without coivst defenses. I very urgently, recommoDd an appropriation at this senmon for the construction of such works in our most exposed harbors, 1 approve the suggestion of the secretary of wur that provision be made for encamping companion ef the national gutrd in our jcoast works for a specified time each year, And. for their training in the use of heavy funs. RIVKRfl AKD HARBOR*. The improremeat oi oar important river* and harbors should be promoted by the necessary appropriations. Care should uw taken that tfce government is not committed to the prosecution of works not of public and general advantage, and that the relative usefulness of works of that claas is not overlooked. I do not doubt that the end would be sooner and more economically reached If fewer separate works were undertaken at the same time, and those selected for their greater general interevt were more rapidly pushed to completion. PROTECTION Or FEDERAL OK/KKBS. The assault made by David S. Terry upon the person of Justice Field of the supreme court at LaUhrop in June last, and the killing of the assailant by a deputy United States marshal, suggest questions which, in my judgment, are worthy the attention of congress. I recommend that more definite provision be made by law not only for the protection of federal officers, but for a full trial of such oases in the United States courts. WITNESSES. Events, which have been brought to my attention, happening in other parts of the country, have HISO suggested the propriety of extending, by legislation, fuller protection to those who muy be called as witnesses in the courts of the United States. The investigation of criminal offenses are often rendered futile, and the punishment of crime impossible, by the intimidation of witnesses. The necessity of providing some moro speedy method of disposing of the cases which now come for tin at adjudication to the supreme court becomes every year more apparent uud urgeat The plan of providing some intermediate courts, haying final appellate jurisdiction of certain classes of questions and cases has, I think, received a more general approval from the bench and bar of the country than any other. I recommend that provision be made for the establishment of such courts. 8ALAHIES. The salaries of the judges of the district court* in many of the districts are, in my judgment, inadequate, I recommend that ail such salaries now below $."\000 per annum be increased to that amount. THK TKCST8. Earnest attention should be given by congress to a consfderatiou of the question how far the restraint of those combinations of capital commonly called "trusts'" is matter of federal jurisdiction. They are dangerous conspiracies against the public good, and should bo made the subject of prohibitory and even penal legislation. INTERNATIONAL. COPYKIGIIT. The subject of an interuational copyright has been frequently commended to attention of congress by my predecessors. The en actmeut of such a law would be eminently wise and just. NATURALIZATION. Our naturalization laws should be so revised as to make the inquiry into the moral character and good disposition towards our government of the persons applying for citizenship more thorough. This can only be done by taking fuller control of the examination, by fixing the times for hearing such applications, and by requiring the presence of some one who shall represent the government in the inquiry. Those who are avowed enemies of social order, or who come to our shores to swell the Injurious influence and to expend the evil practices of any assoeiatiou that denes our laws, should not only be denied citizenship, but domki.e. BANKHUHTCY. The enactment of a national bankrupt law, of a character to be a permanent part of our general legislation, is desirable. It should be simple in its method and inexpensive iu its administration. CIVIL SKRVICK. The reform of the civil service will make no safe or satisfactory advance Until the present law ami its equal administration are well established in the confidence of the people, it will be my pleasure, as it is my duty, to Bee that the law is executed with firmness and Impartiality. As a result of the revision oi the rules, of the new classification aud of the inclusion of the railway muil service, the work of the comtmsaiou h.,s been greatly increased and the present clerical force is found inadequate. ; i recommend that the additional clerks asked by the commission be appropriated tor. The duty of appointment is devolved by the constitution or by thv; luw, uud the appointing oltuxjrs are properly held te a high responsibility in us exercise. The growth of tue country and the consequent increase of the ciril hat have BQuguiMed this function of the executive disproportionately. It cannot be denied, however, that the labor couuecltsd with this necessary work is increased, of i en to the point of distress, by the sudden aud excessive demands that are cu.de upon un incoming administration for removals und appovulmonta. But, on tho other hand, it is not true that incumbency IB a conclusive argument for a continuance iu office. Impartiality, moaerution, fidelity to public duty, and a good attainment in the discharge of it muni be added before the argument is complete. When those holding administrative offices so conduct themselves as to convince jUst political opponents that no party consideration or bias effects in auy wu.y the discharge of their public duties, we can more easily stay the domund lor removals. I have suggested to tho heads of the executive departments tbet they couftider whether a record might not be kept in each bureau of all these elements that are covered by thetormB "faithfulness" and "etticiency," and a rating mada showing the relative merits of the clerks of each class, this rating to be regarded as a test of merit in making promotions. I have also suggested to the postmaster general that he adopt some plan by which be can, upon iho basis of the reports to the uepanment and of frequent inspections, indicate the rel tive merit of postmasters of each clsbs. They will be appropriately indicated in the o№cial register and in the report of the department. That a groat stimulous would thus bo given to the. whole service, I do not doubt, and such a record would bo the beat defense against inconsiderate removals from oftice, KDUOATIONAU National aid to education has heretofore taken ihoformof land grants, and iu that form tin: constitutional power of congress to promolo tho education of the people is not seriously questioned. I do not think tt can be successfully questioned when the form is changed to that of a direct grant of money from the public treasury. As tho suggestion of a national grant in aid of education grows chiefly out ol tho condition and needs of the emancipated siave und his descendants, tho ro.ief should, us fur as possible, whilo necessarily proceeding upmi some general lines, be applied to the need that suggested it. I recoup mood that any appropriation made for this purposo bo so liRiitcd ia annuil amount and as to the time over which it is to extend as will, ntt the one band give the local school authorities opportunity to make the best use of the tirst year's allowance, and oil tho other deliver them from the temptation to duly postpone the assumption of the whole burden themselves. THS MB.iKO QUESTION . In many parts of our country where the colored population is large the people of that race are, by various devices, deprived of any effective exercise of their political rights. The wrong does not expend itself upon those whose votes are suppressed. Every constituency in the union is wronged. If it 1% said that these communities must work out this problem for themselves, we have a right to ask whether the/ are at work upon It. The power to take the whole direction aod control of the election of members of the house of representatives is clearly given to the general government. A partial and quttHned supervision of these elections is now provided for by the law, and in m.v opinion this law may be so strengthened and extended as to secure, on the whole, better results, than can be attained by a law taking all the processes of such election into federal con troL MERCHANT MARINE. There is nothing more justly nuxmliatinR to the national pride, and nothing more hurtful to the national prosperity than the Inferiority of our merchant marine, compared with that of other nations whose general resources, wealth and sea coast lines do not suggest any reason for their supremacy on the sea. I recommend that such appropriations be made for ocean muil service in American steamships between our ports and those of Central and South America, China, Japan and the important islands in both of the great oceans, as will be liberally remunerative for the service rendered, and as will encourage the establishment and in some fair degree equalize the chances of American steamship lines in the competition which they must meet, That the American states lying south of us will co/dially co operate in establishing and maintaining such lines of steamships to their principal ports 1 do not doubt. The legislation which I have suggested it is sincerely belived will promote the peace and honor of our country, and the prosperity and security of our people. I invdfto tbejliligent and serious attention of congress to the consideration of these and such other measures as may be presented having the same great end in view.

I Bhnll never forget the time when I f M a band in a emu 11 fishing vessel thai tended the l^ndon market, says a writer in the Boston Globe. The weather was very warm and flan scarce; some of the old hands thought some Icind of a destructive thin was playing havoc for set our trawls where he would they were skinned as clean as though the job was done by hand. One evening two men that went in •dory No. 3 brought the news" that sharks were plenty and we had better chip to Home other berth. The anchor was catheaded, sails hoisted and a, course laid out that would bring us to Jeffries bank, which lies about thirty or forty miles of! Portland. The next morning at duyli<jht we were in our dories and proceeded to set our fishing gear. My partner and I took the oat- Bide on the western end and all went well; we were hauling in fish tor half an hour with every promise of a good catch. I was hauling the trawl at the time, and telt a sudden tug and yank that very nearly took mo out of the dory. I knew it was sharks in a minute, and stopped hauling to see if they wouid show up. Suddenly there was a twitch und a pull hai-der than ever, and I hauled away as lively as possible, knowing he would bite the line if he could to clear himself. I pulled and he tugged, but I kept the line coming all the time. First, he would tow us in one direction and then in another, so I surmised we had him by the tail, and told my partner to have a sharp knife ready to cut away. After a long ;md hard pull I got him to the top of the water and found that he had taken two good hitches around his tail and was working hard to get clear. The next thing to do was to get his tail on the rail of the dory and cut clear. A strong pull by both of.us placed him at our mercy, then I looked overboard to see Jthe kind of chap we had, and if anything would make a fisherman feel blue it vvosuld be a look from that angry man outing shark that we were fast to. He..wonId curl up in a bow, look at us with those cold eyes,, and shp his body about in a very dangerous manner, but tho line was strong and we had him secure. The only thing we could do was to cutoff his tail and let him go clear of the trawl, and my partner held onto one side of his tail while I used the knife. In a minute he was clear, and. with back and bolly fins to propel with, drove for the bottom, leaving a trail of blood after him, that 1 knosv would cause trouble. lie caino up with a rush, jumping full length out of the water, and dropped wo close to our dory that tho splash nigh swamped us. We hauled away clear of him, and after we got out1 gear wo started to row for tho vessel. After rowing a short1 distance we wore in tho midst of a school of man-eating sparks that had scented tho blood of their maimed relative. My partner was rowing a new pair of oars and they attracted tho sharks. They made snap after snap at the blades, and as our dory was deep loaded with fish they appeared to think wo would be an easy prey. So hard did they press us that tho new oars had to be taken in and the fish thrown overboard to distract their attention. We wore within a quarter mile of the vessel and had succeeded in shaking off all but one of them. He was a 6iaallcus3 and would purr up alongside tha dory like a cat an 1 never loft us until we reached our vessel and were safe aboard. Only a Jackass. When men entor the speculative field .'

Tho roply was brief and to the point; it was simply "Xo.11 Without noticing the abruptness of the answer or the tone of despondency in which it was given, the friend said: "I say, Jim, which are you, anyway, a bull or a bear?" To this the speculator replied in such a manner that his friend' could nob help but know tbe state of affairs and be refrained from further questioning. The answer was: "Neither, hang it; I am nothing but a bloody, blooming jackaia." _ LEFT-LEGGED HUMANITY. Why a Ma/n when Lost Always Travels Around In a Circle. ProfeaBor Ball, in "Le Dualisma Cerebral/' speaks of man aa a righthanded animaL Being right-handed, it is popularly assumed that he is also right-legged, but this does not appear to be the case. Standing, working with the right hand, there is a tendency to use tho left ley for balance. Many people find less exertion la going round circles to the ritrht than to the left Race tracks are nearly always made for running circles to the riff lit So the majority of movements are more readily performed to tho right, as dancing, ruuning, etc. The rule in walking is to keep to th e right, and this appears to bo almost universal. It Is more natural to bear to the right. Of a large number of people from the better educated classes are asked about the existence of the rule, only sixty-seven per cent malea and fifty-three percent females were aware of the rule; the large majority obey it unconsciously in walking. Crowds tend lo bear to the right. The left leg Deing the stronger, it is more readily brought into action; hence troops start otf with the left foot; it is the foot which is placed into the stirrup of the saddle or step of the bicycle in mounting; so the left foot is the loot from which a man Btarts in jumping. Jn the experiments of G. H. Darwin, blind-folding boys and telling: them to walk straight, the righthanded one diverged to the right and vice versa. From measurements of Dr. Garson of tbe skeletons of two legs, in 54.S per cent the left was the longer and 55.8 the right For measurements of the feet the writer collected the drawings me*, measurements of 200 pairs with tbe result that in 44 per cent the left was longer^ in 21.5 per oent the right, and in 84.5 per cent they were the same size. Measurement at the first joint gave 56 per cent left large, and at the instep 42.5 per oent From the cable of the figures it is observed that the left foot is more frequently the larger in the male than the female sex, and the percentage of feet of the same size is greater in the female. The percentage of the right larger than the left is very constant, whereas the number of the left larger and those in which both feet were the same size are much more variable. Man, being naturally or artificially righthanded and left-lesfged, tends unconciously to bear to the right; lo'.^er animals, on the other hand, appear nearly always to circle to the left Marriage The Hebrews had a beautiful and elevated idea of the marriage relation, the Greeks had n o t Spwta cared nothing for the sanctity of marriage, and it wan considered customary and reputable for men to ^ive their wives over to their friends. Aristotle speaks of men buying wives from one another. Homor refere to tho fact that the father w s the owner of tho child until s h e was beyond his control, and was paid for her in cattle, and this was called cuttle-finding. A Trojan ally, who wae slain by Agamemnon, had given 100 cattle to obtain a wife, and then promised 1,000 head of sheep and goate besides, if the wife proved unfaithful tho husband could demand back the price. Under the Roman law a dowager had to go with tho wife. Affinity and consanguinity were formerly, in some countries, greater objections to marriage than now. Gregory forbade tho marriage of cousins. The Church of England dooa not forbid such marriages. Some of our states do and some do not. Tho romantic Cleopatra was a daughter of a brother and sister, and she wedded her younger brothe-r, according to the custom of the Ptolemies. Many authorities claim that marriage to cousins is not detrimental where there had not boen such marriages in the family before. Tho marriage ceremony h s differed in all a^res. Among tho ancient Hebrews marriage begcwi with the betrothal, but no Jormality wad required. Ky his teaching Christ became a legislator on this subject and ennobled the relation more than it had ever been in tho world's history.—Cin. Com. Gazette. Tho Harvest.

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

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

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

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

D. BBSTKBTT. Publisher. \, ?INCKN£T MICHIGAN Jolm Baard Allen, Who has been chosen United Statea senator from the new state of Washington, is a native of Indiana and is fortyfive years of agre. He enjoyed no •pecial advantages in the way of education, but being a bright and indus*- trious boy, he tried to improve his mind by studying and reading in his spare hours. During the civil war he served for two years in the 138th Indiana Infantry. After the war he moved to Rochester, in Minnesota, where for a year he served as agent for a grain firm. Next he read law in the office of Judge Wilson of Rochester, and soon entered the law school at Ann Arbor, Michigan. He was admitted to the bar in 1869 and became a resident of Olympia, the present capital of Washington, where he opened an office in the public reading room, of which he haa become custodian at a salary of 1.5 dollars a month. He was unknown in the territory and had nobody to help him on, but so great was his ability that he came to tho front. In 1875 he became United States attorney for Washington Territory. Since 1881 he has boon a resident of Walla-Walla. In 1887 he was chosen to represent Washington in congress by a majority of 1,000 over his democratic opponent. BARGAINS. JULIA WARD HOWE. Chris. Klointz is a goody-goody boy of I'hiladelphia, fourteen years old, whom his parents want to raise, but the precocious scion of the house of Kleintz will have to reform or the daisies will bloom over him in the early part of the spring. About a year ago Chris was taken ill. and confessed to his anxious parents that he was in the habit of smoking cigarettes, promising, however, to give up the habit. His resolution was broken, and the other day a rash broke out all over his body, followed by a remarkable swelling, until the body became twice its normal size. For ten hours physicians labored with him before they succeeded in starting a prespiration, and when this was accomplished the swelling was reduced. If Chris lives he will solemnly promise never to use the weed in any form. The New York supreme court has decided in the • Vassar contested will case that the executors must pay the sum of twenty thousand dollars and interest to the trustees in charge of the fund. It seems that during his life-time John Guy Vassar gave twenty thousand dollars, contingent upon the raising of one hundred thousand dollars. The death of Mr. Vassar occurred before the fund was raised, and when the whole amount was finally donated the executors of Mr. Vassar's will refused to pay the amount subv scribed by him, hence the suit, and the decision above mentioned. I i A bill is to be introduced in the present congress to set apart Alaska »s a penal colony for the worst clasB of criminals. Such a measure can never be adopted, because, it is antagonistic to a republican form of govern* saent, but rather belongs to the monarchies of the old world. The public lands o( this country belong to th« •people and are open to settlement by Iheu), and should never be set apar* tor criminals. The United. State* .wtkUtB no territory that may not look forward to representation in congress, «nd this would to impossible with JAlaska wert> it populated with criv, laals. He pressed a ruby on her lips, whose burning blood shone through; Twin sapphires bound above her eyes, to match the fiery blue; And where her hair w u parted back, an opal gem he s e t - Type of ner changing countenance, where all delights were met "Will you surrender now," he said, "th ancient grudge you keep Untiring and unutiered, like murder in the deep*" "I thank you for the word," she said, "your gems are fair of form, But when did jewels bind the depths, or splendors still the storm ( "There is no diamond in the mine, nor pearl beneath the wave, There is no fretted coronet that soothes a princely grave, There is nor fate nor empire in the wide inlinity, Can stand in grace in virtue with the gift you had for me. ' • TESSA, CHAPTEi: ; }j '•Poor little Tessa! 1'oor Uttle girl! Oh, 1 had only known!" he thought There was a flash of righteous anger in his eyes as he looked back at Austen. "And you let her go," he said slowly, but with a withering contempt in his voice which sent the blood rushing into Austen's face—"you thought this, and you let her go, and never raised a finger to save from certain ruin and shame the woman you professed to love? Why, jf I had been you"—and his sallow face flushed and his eyes grew bright and angry—"I would have gone after her to the very end of the world—I would have put a bullet through the scroundrel who tempted her away, and I would have saved her —in spite of herself—of all!" With an uncontrolled excitement he sprang from his chair walked up and down the room, Hashing angry glances at Austen's while suffering face. " I would to heaven that you had been right—that she loved me, poor little girl," he cried passionately. Austen "listened, but he scarcely heard the, words. Another voice— other words, forgotten till now, rang in his ears and drowned Noel's passionate words. "Some day you will remember that you would not listen," Tessa had said calmly. He could remember the very tone of her voice see her sad eyes looking back as she lingered by the doorway. Noel, a little ashamed of his excitement, ca.me back to his chair again and resumed his pipe; ho looked furtively at Austen belween the sharp, quick pulls of smoke. "Do you really m^nn to say that you don't know where a'le is? ' he asked. '•No." Austen shook his head. Cleveland hesitated a moment. "You don't deserve it. but I think I may possibly help you to h'nd out," he said after a short silence. "Are you aware that a few days before your mother's death your brother Antony was at the Hall?" "Antony! Impossible!"—and Antony looked up with a startled exclamation. "Quite' possible?' answerer! Nool with a short laugh. "I ought to know for I was the means of bringing him there. It seems that your mother had an intense desire to see him again —a desire which she knew that neither you nor Mrs. Callender would be likely to gratify; and so Tessa—she was always a tender-hearted little soul, bless her!—came to me and asked me to find out his addresfc. I did so, not without Borne trouble; and I know the fact," Noel went on, looking steadfastly into Aufr ns anxious face, "that Antony was once, if not twice, at the Hall unknown to you about the time of Mrs. Bevan's death." "And you think that Tessa is with him now?" There was a new light, a radiant Hush on Austen's face. "1 think it is probable enough; or at all events be may know where she is. I can give you his address if you care to inquire." Noel could not resist the sneer. "Indeed I got Antony a berth in the o.Ike of a friend of mine—a lawyer in Gray's Inn." He turned over the pages of his pooket book until he found the address. ••Yes, hero it is." He scribbled a few lines of a card and gave it to Austen; but he did not wish him God-speed, and he turned impatiently away as the other thanked him eagerly. "Thank you, and forgive me!" Austen said huskily, as he turned toward the door; and Noel laughed oddly. "I will forgive you when Tessa does," he said. He went back to his chair and look up his pipe and book again as the door closed behind the visitor; but the book soon dropped unheeded from his hand, and the pipe went out as he lay back in his chair and meditated over the past interviow and Austen's late repentance. How# would the quest end? he wondered. * Would Tessa forgive Austen? What sin was there too great for a? woman to forgive in the man she loved? But yet Tessa was scarcely one of the tender all-forgiving order of womanhood, he thought, with a half-smile. She was rather one who would passionately resent injustice and harshness. And if she would not forgive Austen—well, there might be a chance for some one else. Noel's lips curved into a tender smile as he fancied what that might mean to him. How good he would be to her! he thought. And so he lay back in his chair and indulged just for a brief half-hour in a blissful dream of the happy future and the perfect life which—alas for poor Noel!—was never to dawn for him. • • * * Antony was much surprised one morning when Austen walked into the dingy little office in Gray's Inn where, by Cleveland's recommendation, he was employed as copying clerk. He bent lower over his desk, which was at the farther end of the room, and turned his face away, and listened eagerly as the familiar voice asked to see the principal of the firm. But he was still more astonished by-and-by to be called into the inner room where Austen was waiting for him. He had said once that ho would never Btoop to ask or receive a favor from his brother; but now the canes were reversed, and Austen had conio to ask a favor from Antony -the elder brother to seek help and advice from the prodigal son; and Antony could afford to bo generous and accept the hand of reconciliation which Austen so eagerlyproffered. 'xea, you are right, Tessa is with us," he said in auswer to Austen's question. "She came to me just after my mother's death, and she has been like an angel in the house ever since. We were at very low water just then: for my wife was ill and obliged to give up her engagements at the theatre; and, as you may fancy"—and he smiled bitterly— "my salary here is not a very magnificent one. I don't know what we should have done without Tessa; and now I suppose you have come to take her away? ' "If she will let me," Austen said doubtfully. His heart was beating painfully as at last he stood before the door of the little house where Antony and his wife had set up their household goods; it beat still more violently as the little maid took him up the narrow staircase and, opening a door, ushered him in with the brief annoUcement, "A gentleman, please, miss!" He heard the door close behind him—felt rather than saw Tessa rise from her seat by tho window. The room was very dingy, but neat and clean enough. Two little children were playing on tho rug before the tire; a canary was singing loudly, and its shrill voice blended with Tessa's cry of surprise as she started to her feet and looked at tho new-comer. Tho color surged into her face, her lips trembled. Mho made one step forward; then, with a little proud gesture, drew herself up to her full hight, and stood looking at Austen with grave questioning eyes. Hurriedly he crossed tho floor to her bide, and took the unwilling little hands in his tipht chis-p. "Tessa, will you forgive me? I know what a fool I have been!" he in a low pained voice. Tessa drew her hands gently away. "Yes—I forgave long ago," she answered coldly. "And you will make your forgiveness complete? You will come back to mo again—lot everything bo as it was before?" Austen pleaded. Tessa shook her head, and the eyes which looked up into Austen's face were full of a great sadness. "I think that could scarcely be,11 she answered, speaking very slowly and quietly. "One cannot so easily take up the broken threads of one's life and weave them into a perfect whole again. I was a child then, and I had a child's perfect trust in your love and justice; but I am a woman now, and I know." Austen's heart sank low. This cold calmness was so different from Tessa's old impetuosity; but still he persevered. "I was mad, Tessa!" he said humbly. "I loved you so dearly, and I was mad with love and jealousy! Can't you forgive me, sweet? Or are you indeed changed so completely? The old Tessa would never have been so unforgiving and hard! Can't you forgive9" Tessa gave a quick passionate sob. "Ah, that is the worst of it, Austen! ' she said sadly. "I am changed —terribly changed! I think the old Tessa whom you used to love died that day when you told her to go. But she can never come back again, my dear. I forgive—oh, yes, with all my heart I forgive—but I cannot forget— I can never be ray old self again!' "You forgive, but you cannot forget? That i» a half-hearted sort of forgiveness, swejt!" Austen's hopes rose at the sight of the tearful agitated face. Once more he took the trembling hands within his own. "Let me teach you to forget; no pupil should ever have a more patient, more zealous master than I will be, Tessa, if you will let me try." "I think It would be better not to try," she faltered. "It might only be a failure again. And I am happy here; they love me, and I am of use to them in many ways; and here no one thinks it is wicked to laugh and.be gay—to dance and sing; there are no chilling looks, cold words! Oh, I think I had better stay! There are the children too—I could not bear to part from them now." "I will not part you from them, Tessa. Antony's place in the bank is open to him—I have just told him so," Austen answered earnestly. "Have you seen him?" Tessa looked up quickly. "You are reconciled then?" she went on. "Yes, we have just parted; he sent me here." "I am so glad! And, Austen"— Tessa hesitated and colored—"you will try to like Milly, will you not? She is not very refined perhaps: but she is very kind, and she has been, oh, bo good to me!" "I will like her for that reason alone," Austen declared. "And, Tessa"— he put his hands upon the girl's shoulders and looked down searchingly into her troubled eyes—"Antony and 1 are friends again. Will you be less forgiving, sweetheart? Will you not forget my cruelty and injustice, and come back with meP" But still Tessa hesitated. Her face was very pale and troubled, and there was great unshed tears in the eyes which she raised to Austen's face. "Oh, what can I say!" she said piteously. "It is so hard to refuse you; and yet they want me so badly here." "But I want you too, my Tessa," Austen pleaded tenderly. "Antony has his wife and children, and I have no one. I want you most of all. Will you not come, sweet?" "I will come, since you want me so much—I will come!" she cried; and Austen bent and kissed the sweet pale face. * * * * So Tessa came back to the Hall again—came back to be, as of old, the brightness and sunshine of Austen's life. Yet not quite as of old either. The gay light-hearted Tessa, whose trust and faith in her lover had once been so boundless, had vanished, and in her place was a sadder, wiser woman, who had suffered wrong and injustice, and learnt doubt and mistrust from both. Mrs. Callender, who removed from the Hall after her brother's marriage, to a house nearer the town, much apr proves of the change in Tessa; and Austen, even while he grieves over the loss of the old bright gaiety, loyes better Btill the sweet seriousness which has come in its stead. Only sometimes, as he watches his wife romping in tho garden with her children, ho fancies that he catches a glimpse of tho old light-hearted Tea-.a. Some one elso looks on and watchos as well as Austen. The old intimacy between the Priory and tho Hall has been resumed; and in tho rooms where the poor mad lady mdaned over her lost child the voices of Tessa's children make sweet music in tho ears of tho man whose life, though lonely, iB far from being unhappy. Noel was always patient and unselfish, and, seeing Tessa happy and contented, ho is, afier a fashion, happy too. THK KM). A Devotional Dog. During a revival at a Methodist church in Orlando, Fla., tho other night quite a solemnly comic incident occurred. There is a certain dog in town who has been taught by his owner to kneel in the attitude of prayer when commanded by a snap of the' owner's fingers. The dog followed a lady and gentleman into tfcfii church and insisted upon making himself at home around the altar, to tho annoyance of those conducting the meeting. One of the congregation, noticing the unwelcome presence of the canine, rose from his seat and proceeded to conduct his do;, hip to the street. He was making slow prqgress in his efforts, and when about midway down the center aisle chirped and snapped his fingers at the animal, who deliberately turned round, placed his paws upon the end of a pew, and bowed his head aa if in earnest prayer. His Conscience Troubled Him. W. A. Cuddy, who was chaplain of the legislature of Arizona which has just adjourned, has sent to the treasury department for deposit in the conscience fund the sum of $22.50, being a part of the salary paid him as chaplain. His motive for this action is explained by him as follows: "I cannot see that it is right for the rulers to take the people's money and pay it out to some hypocrite to stand up before a legislative body and pray for pay." He also states that he once acted as clerk of the legislature and received for his services $640; but while performing this duty he was also employed in whisky selling. He thinks he should return the $640, and would do so, he says, but for the fact that he has not got it. Mr. Cuddy resides at Phoenix, A. T.

Siloott Affair.—Other Capital Notes. (two beutes of congress met in toe representatives the other day to (centennial exercises in commemoration of the Inauguration of the first president. Through the foreign legations residing in Washington, about all the civilized nations of the world were represented. There were also present the governors of 20 states. The senate, followed by the President, the cabinet, the members of the diplomatic corps and the supreme court justices, etc., and preceded by the vice-president, marched in, and Vice-president Morton took tbe speaker's chair and gavel and called the to order in joint session. Rev. J. G. ler, the senate chapel, offered prayer, (Chief Juatioe Fuller delivered an ora- _ : upon the progress of America. After ••benediction by tbe Rev. W. H. Milburn, 1 M house chaplain, tbe assemblage dispersed, while the Marine band played national airs. Since that little domestic affair in the Garden of Eden, woman has figured conspicuously in man's sinfulness, and the case of Sllcott^is no exception. The woman in this case is Louise Thibault, * native of Quebec, who went to Washington, met Silcott, and so enfatuated the man that his own cash was not sufficient to enable him to do Justice to his inamoratu, v and he used the government's cash. While several members of the house are mourning the loss of their salaries because of Silcott's crookedness, Congressman Wheeler of Michigan, is happy over the fact that he did not sign the voucher for his November pay, and so he is not caught in the same box. The loss to the members is only a temporary stringency, for they may be safely trusted to speedily pass some measure for their own relief. Of course it is too early in the session to predict what will be done, but it is absolutely certain that the tariff question will be discussed, and it is to be hoped that something may be accomplished. Apropos of this subject, Senator Allison of Iowa, the author of the seirate tariff bill considered at the last session of congress, says: "There will be some legislation on the tariff, but wbethor it will be on the lines of the bill prepared by the senate finance coinaiittee of the last congress is too broad a question to answer now. The house In the last congress sent us a tariff bill, and we did with it the best that we could. Tbe house has the matter in its bands now, und must originate whatever legislation there is." A number of important measures have already beeu introduced, among others a bill prepared by Senator ripooner to secure freedom of voters at the poua. The provisions of the bill are far-reaching in their t scope, and tbe penalties provided for violation of uny one of them severe enottgh to detor tbe most recklesH ward politician. $ Michigan's new senator, McMillan, was on hand eurly in the session with a bill for the payment of the Knaggs claim, which grows out of the use by tbe government of some of the Knag^s buildings in Detroit during the war of 1812. Senator McMillan has also introduced a bill to pay Mrs. Triple r 110,000'for tho use by the medical de partmentof the government of the manual , prepared by her hus:md and in constant use by the medical departments of govern ment work. Through tho exertions of Congressman Bel knap of Grand Rapids, Miss Jennie Harrison, a socund cousin of President Harrison, baa been appointed to a place in the government printing oftice. Miss Har risoo is a very independent young woman who has had to battle alone with the world over since her father and hor brother were oarriexl to tho bottom of Lake Michigan with the ship wtiich her father sailed. Un like many of the Branches of tho H.irrison family tree, she has never made herself I known to her exulted kinsman, and unless he reads this item he will hover know that bis cousin is folding papers in tho government printing oftice. Trio question was raised aa to whether the wur department would take any offl cial action because of the death of Jeffer son Davis. A large oil nuiuting of the leader of the "lost cause" hangs on the wall of the chief clerk's room, and bears the following inscription: "Jefferson Davis, secretary of war, 18.^)^7, Pierce"s administration." When asked what course tho department would pursue, Sec retary Proctor said: "I see no occasion for any action whatever. It would sub serve no good purpose that I can see. It is better to lot tho mutter rest in oblivion's sleep, if it will, «nd to relegate it to the past, than to do anything that would re vive memories butter forgotten." Tho mantle of a noble charity is thrown over the errors of the man who acted froa conscientious motives, und representative men oi both north und south speak ouiy in kindly terms of tho dead. A little over '2."> years ago there was organized in this city an organization of Michigan men cither temporary or perman ent residents of the city, for tho purpose of aiding Michigan soldiers. During the past quarter ot a century the society has been alternately i\ partisan and social club. The members of the society have decided to abandon the political fo.itures of tho organ ization and are planning for u number of social entertainments during this winter. Tbe president nf the organization is Col. C. P. Liucoin of Coidwater, and tho secretary is K. li. Banutrri of Adrian. A bill is now bo fore the senate which that body will ;rio woli to pass speedily. Tho bill is to duly compensate soldiers who woro confined in confederate prisons during the late war for thirty days or more after the expiration of the time for which they enlisted. Tho bill provides thai they shall receive *;i a d.iy for each day's imprisonment until tho day of tboir dischurgo.

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

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

Betty Martin, an old colored lady, died in the county house Saturday. She is suid to have been 110 years t,ld. Until a few months ago ahe had resided in Ypislanti. She was raised «s a slave by the Marshall family of Kentucky, and claimed to have boon large enough to wasli dishes "when Washington and his army was around."

The absurdity of ^he new election law requiring all tickets to be issued from the office of the secretary of state and that they shall bear a suitable vignette or inscription is too apparent. The people of Luce county gave the act a blow last week by ordering 1.000 tickets and requesting that they be ornamented with a half moon containing the word " Hawbuck."

On Saturday morning Willis, the eight-year-old son of County Clerk Howlett, met with an accident by which he will lose the sight of his left eye.

Every one that has had experience in the use of horses, knows what a sorry, perplexing time and money loseing job it is to care for them through a siege of distemper or epizootic. Edwin Arms had a lively experience caring for three, about a year ago and during the long, still cold nights that he hovered over the dim lantern, he conceived the idea that all infected animals should be quarantined and danger signals put up as iD case of small pox, etc. He button-holed our representative at Lansing and a bill was passed at the last session which makes it the duty of any person who has reason to think that any domestic animal belonging to him or that may come under his observation, is affectied with any contagious or infections disease, to immediately report to the local board of health or some member thereof and it is their duty to investigate the same. The bill is to long to be gone over here but may be found on page 44, public acts of 1^89. Any person knowingly driving, selling trading or keeping an infected animal without giving notice, may on conviction be fined to the amount of one hundred dollars, ninety days in jail, or both at the discretion of the court. — Green Oak Cor.

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

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

Too empress's wrists were hurt as she was being hauled on board tho Alagoas. Dom Pedro says: "I was deeply uffectod when t i e shore line dropped below the horizon.

And the mow with ita sheeted pall Had covered the stubbled clearings Thatflrlrdied the rude built "HalL" But hiph in the deep-mouthed chimney, 'Mid laughter and. shout and din, The children were piling yule-logs To welcome the Christmas In. "An, so! We'll be *ltul to-morrow," The mother half mutiny said, As she looked at the eager workers, '. laid Qp a sunny head aa of benediction— „ . . Heaven is just as near rfather at far Paiuxent Itf he were with us here. M8« efcoose ye tht pine and holly, And shake from their boughs the snow; We'll garland the rough-hewn rafters As they garlanded long »tfo,— Or ever Sir (Jeorjre went sailing* Away o'er the wild »ea foam,— In my beautiful English Sussex, The happy old walls at home.'1 She sighed.—As she paused, a whisper Set quickly all eyen a a train: — "AV«/ /»*"»_and the boy's band pointed— "There't a face til the window patu!" One instant a ghastly terror Shot sudden her features o'er; The next, and she rose unclenching, And opened the fast-barred door. "Who be ye that seek admission ? Who cotaeth for food and rest? This night is a night above others To shelter a straying guest. > Deep out of the snowy silence A guttural answer broke: **I come from the great Three Rivers, lam Chief of the Koan-oke." Straight In through the frightened children, Unshrinking, the red man strode, And loosed on the blazing hearthstone. From his shoulder a light borne load; And out of the pile of deer-skins, With look as serene and mild As if it had been bis cradle, Stepped softly a little child. As he chafed at the fire his fingers, Closed pressed to the brawny knee, The gaze that the silent suvage Bent on him, was strange to sec. And then with a voice whose yearning The father could scarcely stem, He said—to the children pointing— "I want him to be like them! "They weep for the boy in the wigwam 1 bring him a moon of days, To learn of the speaking paper, To hear of th« wiser ways Of the people beyond the water, To break with the plow the sod,— To be kind to napoose and woman,— To pray to the white man's Uod." "I give thee my hand!" And the Lady Pressed forward with sudden cheer: "Thou shalt eat of my English pudding, And drink of my Christmas beer,— My sweethearts, this night remember, All strangers are kith and kin. This night when the dear Lord's Mother Could tiad no room at the inn !" • • * * * • • » • Next morn from the colony belfry I'e .Jed gayly the Sunday chime, And merrily iorth the people Flocked, keeping the Christmas time. And the Lady with bright-eyed children Behind her, their hps a-smile, And the Chief in his skins and wampum, Came walking the narrow aisle. Forthwith from the congregation iiroke fiercely a suileu cry; "Out! out! with the crafty red-akin! //ave ul him.' A .<utj! A *fjy! And quickly from belts leaped dagger*, And swords from their sheaths flashed bare. And men from their seats defiant Sprang, ready to slay him there. But facing the crowd with courage As calm as a knight of yore, Stepped bravely the fair-browed woman, The thrust ot the steel before; And spake with a queenly gesture, Her hand on the Chief's brown breast, " Ye dare nut iin/jtach nnj honor! Ye dare not itusult tny y ' " They dropped at her word their weapon Half-shamed as tne Lady smiled, And told them the red man's story, And showed them the red man's child; And pledged them her broad plantations, That never would such betray Ttfe trust that a Christian woman, Had shown on a Christmas Day 1 IN THE TRENCHES. Grant's RelUh or Christmas Favors from Thoughtful Friend*. RANT was always mor e at hom e in camp s tha n courts;th e simple soldier's life suited him bette r tha n the etiquett e of Europe or even of Was h i n g ton . I n d e e d , the commande r of all th e armie s lived plaine r than man y of his subordinates , and I doub t if ther e was a headquarter , Nort h or South , durin g the war, where less formalit y prevailed . When Judge Campbell , th e Confederat e commis - sioner , came out from Richmon d in the winter of 18G4, he spen t some little while with Grant , at City Point , wait- The mess was well supplied with beef, canne d vegetables, condense d milk, coffee, rice, etc , but the cookin g could hard y be considere d delicate . In cam p we had soft bread, but on t lie marc h fell back on har d tack, like private soldiers. Chicken s were supplied in the season, and a few othe r such d untie.-* , but not regularly. At Christma s and Thanksgivin g some thoughtfu l patrio t at the nort h would send turkey s enoug h to go round , but I can' t remembe r cranberrie s or minc e pies. Ther e was never wine or spirits on his table in the field, nor was eithe r ever offered at his headquarter s in his presence . If any of his officers kept whisky it was in thei r own tents , and Gran t neithe r saw it nor shared it. Breakfast was rarely earlier tha n nin e and often as late as ten o'clock , for Gran t rose late whenever ther e was no need to rise early, and we always waited till he was ready to sit down. He hardl y ever went to bed till one or two o'cloc k in the morning , and therefor e liked his pillow even if it was hard , lie often used to say* tha t he was an indolen t man , and I thin k Vie was, naturally . His temper - amen t was phlegmatic , if not sluggish; certainl y he was disincline d to exertion after he was forty years of age. After the midnigh t inarc h tha t followed the battl e of th e Wilderness, wo halte d townr d mornin g at Todd' s Tavern where Sherida n had fought the day before, Gran t slept on a rough, bed in th e tavern , and his staff in the porch , or on the (loor, <or on the groun d outside ; Horac e I'orteran d 1 on some board s in a pig-pen . Often 1 have known Gran t to lie on the groun d with his saddle for a pillow. After the: battle of Champion' s Hill in th e Vicksburg campaig n he slept in the porc h of a farm-hous e occupie d within as a Confederat e hospital , and all night he could hea r the groan s of his wounde d '©'• ' lnff 0 * permission to proceed further. i i i •afresse d great astonishment at tto iMplicity he saw. It was far different, he said, from the ceremony that Lee maintained. But Grant never entirely laid aside the habit* and tastes of his early life; he was, indeed, never coarse or vulgar, but he remained a plain man to the end. His dress in camp was inconspicuous; his coat seldom buttoned up to the throat, and often unbruahed, even in battle, a?d during many campaigns he wore a private soldier's overcoat ^ His tent was as plain as that of a captain; a little larger than those of his staff, because be sometimes wasted to invite important generals into it to discuss his i enemies. After the first day's fight at Shlloh he lay at first under a tree, but the rain was furious and he went into a field hospital for shelter, and fell asleep with the surgeons operating around him. It was fortunate that he was not high strung or nervous. Yet he was not indifferent to human suffering. I have Known him leave a hurdle- race because he did not wish to look on life unnecessarily risked. though , when ther e was need, he could witness slaughter , or orde r it, unmov - ed. In th e marc h from Cold Harbo r to the Jame s river th e headquarter s wagons got behin d and Gran t and his staff bad been all day withou t food. We halte d toward night , but th e train was still behind . Some one produce d some gingerbrea d (it must have been taken from a farm-hous e on the road) , and thi s was all th e supper we had; but we munche d it unde r th e trees, thinkin g ourselves lucky indeed , but Gran t smoked his cigar and decline d the .gingerbread . On the mornin g after tha t night at Todd' s Tavern we were breakfrtstless. Officers are worse off tha n men when the wagons are behind , and staff officers are mor e absolutely destitut e tha n regimenta l officers, for these (can borro w from the kettle s of thei r men , but I shared tlie coffee of my orderly, and found it so good tha t I offered a cup to Gran t He smacked his lips over it, and soaked a hard biscuit in the tin cup, and this was all he got till late in th e day we reache d our next cam p in front of Spottsyiv.-nia . Grant' s own servant, of course , had a great idea of his master' s consequence , and when Rober t Lincoln , then just twenty-one , joined tn e staff fora mont h or two. before the end of the war, a knott y poin t of precedenc e arose between his man and Grant's . Lincoln' s servant said his maste r was th e president' s son and th e presiden t could give order s even to General Grant , while the othe r fellow insisted tha t as Lincoln was only a captai n <ind unde r the order s of Grant ; th e general' s servant must be greate r tha n the captain's . The questio n might have occasione d discussion amon g the lord chamber - lains whom Gran t afterward used to meet at Europea n courts . When Presiden t Lincol n himself visited City Poin t ho took as little pom p wfth him as the general-in-chief . He arrived unannounced , and leaving the stenme r at the foot of the bluff, climbed up th e bank alone . Th e sentine l did not know him, and the taH , ungainly civilian in black clothe s and a high stiff hat was stoppe d like any oth - er intruder . The soldier took him for a sutler or a sanitar y commissioner . Jt was a minut e or two before an officer could be found who recognize d the president , and ushere d him in to Grant . The ton e of talk at Grant' s head - quarter s was as familiar as the style uf living. Several of the men who had been longest with Gran t were plaine r than himself"1 in the habit s and tastes. Rawlins, the ablest of all, had been a charcoa l burne r and thoug h of course a man of marke d energy, and able to hold his own in conversatio n with the most competent , was at time s decidedl y uncout h in language. Gran t himself was never profan e in speech, but Rawlins was habituall y and exceedingly so. He was profoundl y attache d to Grant , but did not always display the same respect in manne r or language which the other s maintained , (iraii t pardone d this because he knew ther e was no intentio n of disrespect , and because he valued Hawlins' s regard and services. He always joined the circle aroun d the camp-tir e at night , and his presenc e scemi".1 no restraint , except that , because of his own purit y of conversation , no one ever told, while/i e was by, the sort of stories tha t are often commo n aroun d camp-fires . Grant' s purit y indee d was not confine d to language. In ^H my intimac y with him of twent y years, in camp , at Washington , or abroad , 1 never saw the slighte>t indicatio n of irregularit y ot life in regard to women. 1 opene d all his letter s for years, and not one. was ever1 addressed to him tha t intimate d a lapse or threatene d a disclosure . ADAM IJADKAI: . LOOSESEXTRACT Thp Old Country Deacon. You have met the old man of the village who, having been all his life a devoted churc h membe r and having been a deaco n and a membe r of the counci l of the churc h and all tha t sort of thing , has gradually grown into such familiar relation s with the creato r tha t he advises him every mornin g what to do about the weather , and about the village, and about the government . Ther e is a beauty, after all, about his egotism. It is at least honest , and if he perhap s overrate s his influence with the divine ruler it is because he is consciou s of having led an upright life. He doubt s the chanc e even of the ministe r in the matte r of heaven , but he has no doubt of his own election . "Uncle, " said his niece one day, "are you quit e sure you are going to heaven?

Among the curiosities to be found in the Minnesota State Law Library are two volumes of the colonial laws of Massachusetts, 1760 to 1772. They are. of course, reprints, but "ye olden style" has beon faithfully reproduced. The code of laws in vogue in those provincial days was truly very crude, ft was then that the whipping post was resorted to as a mode of punishment, but it is stipulated that "no man shall be beaten with above forty stripes, nor shall any truo gentleman, no.r any man equal to a gentleman, be punished by whipping unless his crime be very shamelul and his course of life vicious and profligate." Again the code says: "If any man shall Blaspheme the name of god, the father, Sonne or Holy ghost, with direct, expresse, presumptuous or high handed blasphemie, or shall curse God in the like Banner, he shall be put to death.*1 Caacw*, Rumors, 8ore«, Ulcer*, , Tumor*, Abaceaaca.

Henderson, Whose name was prominently men* itioned in connection with the speaker- |ship of tbe house of the present loongress, was born in Scotland 'in 1840. His family came to this country when David was still a child and settled in Iowa. He received & food education ia the common schools and at the Upper Iowa university. He afterwards read law and was admitted to the bar in the fall of 1865, the civil war interfering- with his plans. He lost a leg in 1863 and was discharged from the army. He re-entered the service a year later as colonel of the Forty-sixth Jowa volunteers and fought gallantly, crippled as he was, until the close of the war. Athletic sports, if indulged in judiciously, are to be commended, but when from the ruflianly practices that too often degrade them into mere exhibitions of brute force, there is danger to life and limb, they cannot be too severely denounced. An instance in point was the game of foot-ball in New York a short time aero between the clubs of Yale and Princeton colleges in which several of the players received severe injuries from-the brutality of their fellows. Grant that these games are necessary for the equal or co-ordinate development of mind and muscle, which is a widely received idea we have received from the ancients, there can certainly be no defense for carrying muscular development to such an extreme. Football, which is at present taking precedence of all others in our colleges, as it haB long held the first place among the college games in England, is a most vigorous exercise, calling for all the energy and activity at the command of the participants, but the muscular effort should be directed by a discreet judgment, and not exercised as mere brute force. There is neeJ of better discipline in this particular but it may not be Beoured until a few college boys have been killed by their more ferocious fellowa. Bessie Grevers of Haverhill. Mass., aged "sweet sixteen,11 is of a literary turn of mind, and wa3 such an earnest student of the novels published in the five and ten cent editions, that her little brain was turned. Twice within a week she tried to burn the house in which she lived, but the fates were against her. This discouraged Bessie and she decided that this1 was a cold, unsympathetic world, anyway, and she determined to seek a clime where the caloric was more intense. With this object in view, she cut the •arteries at her wrists anU took poison. .Again the fates were against her and the was discovered in time to save her life.

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

It is said that the origin of washing the hands before eating arose from the fact that food at first waa eaten wholly—all around the table dipping into one dish —with the hands.

There is a faith cure not often considered, but which is in operation and quite as effective in its work aa that practiced by professional "healers" or "metaphysicians." It is the euro brought or assisted by the patient's faith in his doctor. Every physician knows the desirability of inspiring this feeling, and the best methods of establishing this confidence in" persons under his treatment are made matters of professional study. It is only in part a question of medical skill.

The possession of this quality is largely a matter of temperament and it's usefulness is hardly recognized by the fortunate practitioner, though he may conscientiously cultivate it through knowledge of the fact thut cheerfulness is better than gloom in all the relations of life. It is the gospel of cheerfulness that this m;m unconsciously teaches, not the aggressive gayety and unsympathetic jocularity that is an offense to an invalid and his friends, but a brightness of spirit that makes glad all who meet him.—Indianapolis Journal. The Wicked Compositor. The Pittsburgh Dispatch is pained to see that the typographical error hns been getting in its fiendish work on its religious contemporaries, one clerical editor tried to say that a prominent clergyman was tho "Barnabas of the Baptists," but the unregenerated compositor made it "Barraban;" while dnother who intended to declare that no 'Protestant Episcopal Bishop "has any sense of humor," was horrifiod to find that he had accusoil those prominent yp.ntlomen of beiuof without "any sense of honor." Under those circumstances tho religious editors would bo justified in visiting upon tho compositors tho pains and pt-naltios of excommunication. But tho uncomfortable fact remainB that the compositors would not care a snap for that. jf LOOSE'S E Caocatt, Ramon, Sorn, Ulcer*. * , Tumor*, Abscesses, Blood Poisoning, Salt Kb earn.

Must be Built Up by Irishmen. _ i delivered a sptech ia Notiingf «w day* affo, in reply to the addreas _jrd Baiiibury. Be declared that there had «ever been * B»Teneui of tuoh xna^uitude in the couotr/, which was so comparatively free from crime, as the land league movement. The object of the home rule movement, he •aid, was to regenerate Ireland, especially witk regard to her industrial condition. Continuing. Mr. Parneil said that manufactures might be developed to such an extoat as to take the strain off the land and enable tbe people to look to other aeaas than farming for gaining a living, fcut the idea was not tenable that Ireland ild be governed by England promoting 1 industries. Irishmen themselves must remote Irish induitries, by building harrs, cleaning out tbe channels of rivers and reclaiming waste lands, net at tbe expense ef the English exchequer, b.ut of the Irian exchequer, or, best of all, through the efforts of local and individual enterprise and with private capital. Mr. Buifour's plan of making railways through impoverished distriola was a vain expenditure of money. Home rule aimed at Naflonal re-generation, and this implied the regeneration of industries aad the Indus* trial and commercial spirit of the people. If home rule were granted it would not dis- •cqura»e the rich people of England from prometing industrial developments, but the money would be Judiciously aad advantagecoaly employed instead of being wasted, as now, to maintain in power a government of fraud and trickery. Expenditure of thut sort would enable Ireland to get and keep her head above water and to so exercise And develop the qualities of her people that she would be no longer an exhibition for tbe wonder and scorn of the nations of tbe world. Mr. Parnell would not suy that It would 'be impossible to govern Ireland by coercion, but Halfour's mixture of coercion and constitutionality would never succeed. Mr. Balfour had made several mistakes; among them was ta.it he had neglected to^provide for the arrears of rent and the restitution •of evicted recants. This had led to the formation of a new agrarian movement which would sweep Balfour and his props away as chaff is swept before the whirl- -wind. If the government had nothing to be ashamed of in its connection with the Times doubtless it would gratify curiosity by making known the truth about that matit «r. The country wanted to know how far tse government had gone in a •course so mean and so thoroughly contrary to the English spirit as to attack men from ambush and by the use of such disreputable instruments. He knew the .letters were forgeries, but he would rather hare died than have accepted the vindication the government offered him. The i*arneU commission, instead of trying the personal indictment hud tried the Irish nation and the movement of the Irish party. Mr. Parnell declares that all talk about a Protestant minority being animated by a ••pirit of hostility to «n Irish parliament and opposing it, or Catholics oppressing ProteBtants ts fallacious. He further declares that the modified home rule, HS proposed >by Mr. Gladstone, is preferable to Urattan's scheme, which contained several elements of friction. THEY MEAN BUSINESS. A National Convention of Colored People Called. One of the most important moves the colored people Imve taken in a long time in advocacy of their rights is about coming to the surface. A national coaveatiou has been called to be held in Washington the iirst Monday in February, for the purpose -of takiuir some actiou to remedy their wrongs and obtain the exercise of nil political aud civil rights aud privileges by colored Americau citizens as are guaranteed them by tho constitution and laws of the United States. The objects to be attained by this couveutiou are; 1. To orgaui/.o a national association of •colored American citizens by which a united and continuous effort ah,ill be made to relieve them from the personal outrages indicted upon them in tho southern states and to obtain all the rights of American citizens now denied them in parts of the -country. 2. To ascertain the opposing influences that retard the growth of their educational, moral and material interest*. 3. To invoke congress to pass such legislation us will enable the colored Auiericuns to exercise the right of franchise in tho southern stales without feur of molestation; to pa«H a bill to pay tho depositors of tho Froedman's bank in full for their •deposits. The colored clergy in Washington -and other cities have indorsed the scheme, aud this aeutuneut extends over the whoie country. The matter is deemed of such importance to the colored prople that instructions have been sent to all prominent people of that race throughout the country to leave no stone unturned that will tend in any way to accomplish the desired object. Mr. Pledger of Georgia i:dvises the colored people not to permit themselves to be enumerated by4>he census takers in 18'.M), but to "tut£e to the woods" when they come round. His argument is, that as the colored people ure not allowed to vote in the south, they are now unjustly counted as voters in mukfrug up the number of cougressmen allotted to the south, and if they strould not bo counted in the next census the congressional representation of the south iu the new apportionment would be reduced to its proper dimensions. Civil Sorviee to be InveatisratPd. The executive committee of the national •civil service reform league have decided to investigate the workings of the civil service law. The whole investigation will bo conducted in a strictly iu>n-p;iriiaan manner. _Tho committee will open an office in Washington und will empioy the help necessary to ac omplish their aim. Hon. William Dudley Foiilue of Indian* will be chairman of the committee, und his associates will be Hon. Sherman S. Rogers of HutTalo, Chas. J. Uonuparte of Baltimore, Kichard H. ana of Hoston, and Hon. Wuyue Mac eigh of Philadelphia. E1D1R-DOWN. How' the Elder Duck Makes Its N«j*Vand What Becomes of It. Tbe wonderfully soli and warm iubstanoe whiah we call eider-down, say* L. B. Fletcher in tbe New York Home Journal, ii produced by tbe eider duok, •A inhabitant of the Arotio ocean. It Is proper to oaij these birds inhabitants of the ocean, for they pane the greater part of their lives far out at •en, only coming to land a little while in spring for ta* purpose of layiug aad batching their ojjfga- They are very awkward on land, but are wonderful Bwimmera and divers, descending twelve fathoms below the surface of the water aad remaining submerged as long as five minutes at a time. Their food conaiuto principally ef moUuska, which they pick up from the bed of the sea. Their favorite laying places are^ertaln small, low islands off the coast of Norway, which are called "eiderkoima." The birds yisit these Islands in pairs, which present a striking contrast in appearance, the drakes being brilliantly colored in black, white, and green, while the females are of a dull reddish brown, matching the color of the •canty regetation so perfectly that even a practiced hunter can hardly discover them when, they crouoh down among the reeds. On coming ashore the duck proceeds yery deliberately to choose a place for a nest, while the drake follows and occasionally gives warning of real or fancied danger. The duck is .very hard to suit, and it is not an unusual thing for her, after examining all likely spots out of doors, to march boldly into a house and cooly select what she considers a suitable place for her nest, such as the oven if it happens to be unused at the time. The human inmates of the house welcome her gladly, supply her with food, and cheerfully submit to any small inconveniences like the temporary loss of their oven, for they know that their guest will pay a good price for her board and lodging. When tho duck has selected a place she gathers grass and sticks and builds her nest Then she plucks the soft down from her breafet and makes a wonderful mat, which not only covers the bottom of the nest but rises so far above the edge that it rain be folded over the eggs when the duck loaves the nest in •earch ot food. When^the six or eight eggs nre liud they are seized, together with the valuable eide--down mat, by the people of the house, and the duck goes off in sorrow to her mate, who awaits her on the shore, as his courage never rises to such a pitch us to lead him into the house. She Ii Wickeder Than 8,000 Bad Men. Burmese women are treated well in the family, and they are the equals of the men in family affairs,* BO says a writer in Bow Bell*. They have their say in all business matters, nnd the only place in which their inferiority is noticeable is in religion. The Burmese are Buddhists, and a Buddhist woman has no chance to go to heaven, save, by her soul" at death passing into the body of a man. If she is wonderfully pious in this life such a transmigration may take place, and I note that the chief worshipers at the pagodas here are women. Buddhist teachers put women much lower in tho scale of morality than men, and they maintain that the sins of one woman are equal to the sins of 8,000 of tho worst men that ever lived. There are about 200,000,000 women in the^world. and none of those havo any ottior hope of immortality than this. Nevertheless, I am told that the Burmese women aro more honest than the mefl and that their business promises are to be trusted. They are not educated as a rule, and it is only lately that there have been schools iu Burmah for women. FOKEIGX. Spain refus-.es to entertain any proposition for the sale of Cuba.

About twenty years asjo Maine tried the experiment of settling a township in Aroostook county with Swedish colonists. The land waa given to them on condition that they mode roads for their own "convenience. They were brought over in a vessel sent for the purpose. The colony is prosperous and the members of it generally contented. There are many reasons why such is the case. The soil of Aroostook county is ns rich as an Illinois prairie, and would be as productive if the seasons were longer. Everything' a fanner raises can be sold to lumbermen.

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

Clinton, A Dakota Letter. Fa.iil.ktou, S. D., Dec. 16,18359. EDITOK PINCJCNBY DISPATCH: Before leaving Michigan T prom iaed that I would .write you on my arrival here and give you my idea of this country.* I am not certain that I can write you anything that will interest you or your readers, but it you should consider it worth notice, you can give it a place it in your paper. In the first place, I would say that I am well pleased with my exchange. 1 have a very fine place of 320 acres, a good house, plenty of good water, withiu ten minutes walk of the town, (the town being the county seat,) with two good railroads, and more coming. We havo four banks, four churches, four sohools, and a very lively place. We find the best of neighbors, well educated, and good society, as far as I have been able to burn. A great many graduates have come to this country and attempted to farm it; many have farmed but very little. When they first saw these beautiful plains they thought that all they had to do was to get the land plowed and throw tLe seed onto the ground, then the money would roll in by the bushel. It would seem that this wus the case a few years ago, for many got as high as 25 aud 80 bushels of wheat to the acre, and I have heard several say that they received 50 bushels. Now,sorae may doubt this statement, but I have no reason to doubt it, for the soil is very rich and the season was just right. As near as I can learn the average crop of wheat has been as good here as in Michigan until the past season, when the crop was neatly, and in some instances a total failure. Those who done their work well raised enough to live on, and that is as well as many have done in your state. Wheat has been the staple crop of ihis country, and nearly all depending upon that one commodity for niisiticr money have rondo, ir failure, mid for that reason cm>o the country, and would like to soil or trade and yo elsewhere; they don't care where, only so that they ciin gt't awny from hard times. I imagine if theat* people <^o to Michigan and plant, their corn and sow their wheat without plowing the ground and only going over it once or twiee with a cultivator, that the s;unii hard times will continue with them there that they had here. 1 have been surprised many times while here in talking with fanners about plowing. But very few of them have ever seen a jointer on a plow, and they never use a wheel exeept in breaking up. If they break two, three or four inches deep then they take their stirring plow (which wo call a cross or stubble plow) and make it run the proper depth without a. wheel, and then go ahead. Tlujy plow just as deep as the land hftS been broken, if it is two, three or four inches, year after year, and from sixteen to twenty-four inches wide, and use a plow not capable of cutting over fourteen inches and do a good job. Nearly everybody claims that it does not make any difference here whether the work is well done or half done, the result will be the same. Their a^nment may be all right, but I am confident that it would not do in Michigan, Why should it do in Dakota? As near as I can learn by the observations I have bc»n able to make in the short time that I have been.here,and by talking with the farmers generally, 1 find that any thing that grows in Michigan will QTOW here with less labor and more abundantly than it does there with the exception of fruit. Small fruit does equally as wellhcre as there, and I am of the opinion that apples and cherries will be all right by getting hardy varieties. The climate is said to be the very best. I have talked with men from Michigan, Canada, New York, Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin, and they all claim that this beats them all year through. My has been very fair; we have not had any winter yet. I t has been the most beautiful fall tba£ I have ever pawed, only three or lour cold or windy days. Stock of all kinds ate still runing out and getting their living and doing well, sheep are fat and no grain reqired, the natural graas being very nourishing. I loot for some very cold weather before long , but it can't last long, for they often sow wheat here about the first of March. Now it has been a great wonderment to many of ray friends why people are anxious to trade their land here for land in Michigan. There is only one reason that I can give, and I believe tbat I am correct in my reasoning. They are mostly men who come here expecting to make a fortune in a few years by raising wheat. If the seasons bad continued the same as they were six or seven years ago, land would have been worth more here to-day than it is in Michigan, but the seasons have changed. They have had three dry seasons, but liot a failure until last season, and that has done the finishing work. I believe now is the titne if a man wants to get a home and get it cheap, for if next season is favorable and we get good crops here, this land will thribble in value. The people here are mostly young, they expect to make a fortune in a few years and go back east with more money than their fatners had been able to make in a life time. Because they have not done it they are homesick, and many will sell or trade for what they can get, expecting that when they get back east good times will come to them without much effort. For me, I am pleased with Dakota. I have come to stay. Now, if any of my friends or acquaintances would like to have me help them to exchange for property here, I-1 will be glad to resist tliem. In writing me, if you wish to exchangee land there for land here, state \rhere your land is, how much there is against it, if any, how much ITKI you would like to get here, etc. Give a fair description of you? buildin «rsaud iinprovments on your farm. Tan get you any kind of a farm horo that you wish. Any of my acquaintances coming to this couutry I should be pleased to have them give me a call and Iwill assist them if I can.

The evidenc e shows thu t Mr. Leedom neglecte d to coun t his cash and atten d to the financial affairs of the office.

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

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

Schoolroom Yentilatton. V. C. Vaughan, M. D., Prof, of Hy gtenein the University of Mich., has an article in the Moderator on the Necessity of Ventilating School Houses, We give the following brief synopsis of some of the principal points: "The red blood disks carry the oxygen taken in at ibe lungs, to the various titsues of the body, deposit it there, receiving in return carbonic acid eras, which is carried to the Jungs atfd expelled. Thus there is a respiration' tn the lungs and a respiration in* the5 tissues. Both are necessary to health and without good ventilationneither can be propetly secured. Oar excretions are poison, to us. R«- breatbinp exhaled air loaded as it is with exhalations from the skin also poisons the blood, causing rapid aird irregular action of the heart, labored respiration and dilated pupils. "* With an insufficient supply of {rood Air, the waste matter accumulating in brain and muscle is not removed; hence jresnlts headaobe, dizziness, loss of appetite, and many other ills. Breathing impure air disorders the nervons «y«tem, stupefies tbe brain which cannot do its best work when' effete matters are retained within itt 'Mist Bell Kent, of Howell, was among friends here last week.

I believe that the particular strange-, ness of those little faces of women is entirely due to that disposition of the eye, which is general, atfd also to the development of~ttier cheek, which-is always swollen to roundness like a dolTs; moreover, in their pictures, the artists of the country never fail to reproduce, exaggerating them even to improbability, those characteristic signs of their race. The other features are much more changeable, varying with individuals first, and espacially with sociai^condltions.

He took the chair and asked for a quick shave. The peddler lathered him up and down and across? tucked up his sleeves and picked up the first razor he could reach. His first scrape broupae blood, his second pared off about a thfrd of the stranger's mustache1. "Good Lord, man, what art yotj doing?" he shouted, as he jumped ont^ of his chnir.

Discord In the Choir. Drillhfga volunteer choir is tbej most exasperating work ever undertaken by_a human being:, first place it is morally certain at least half a bozen members think they know more than the leader, and two or three"are always better informed than the man who wrote the music,so they offer, with cheerful alacrity, the most idiotic suggestions as to'themannei in which it should be performed', una feel much aggrieved if their idea* are not acted on. Then the women are always either so devoted to each other that they keep rjp a constant chatter when they shonld be singing or listening;to the leader's direction, or are guarhelin^ and "put each other out. They are not responsible for oil the trouble, bul when they do quarrel they generally manage to enlist the men in the service of b the..firslthmpf the leader kn A good deal of Indian wampum, or, money, is occasionally found in tho! southeastern parts «rf Wisconsin, and a j curious feature of it is the fact that it' leader, exactly resembles that found in the Indian graves • of New England aod Canada,'shov-ing th .t the same kind of currency must have been in circulation araong.tho Indians all over the continent. There are two kinds found everywhere in America—the white and tbe purplo; the former being common and cheap, the latter scarce and •costly. The purple was made from the j eye of the clam shell; Jhe^ white from, the stem of the periwinkle_shell. Tbe aiarofttle warnplfm-makers seems to have been to have the beads uniXorm, smooth and highly polished, though by" what means t,hey~ bored' a -bole through *o, hard a substance is unknown. The labor expended on the shells must "have been enormous, and half his choirTTas quTfc and half ia about to do so because arc not numerous enough fco make a creditable chorus.

It usually requires a pretty continuous battering at the entrance, with many despairing appeals through thb key-hole, to persuade these deities that the public really must be concerned.

They do not mean to be taken in, and no one in New York works harder than thfs goddess and yet such whims and fancies are enou gh to drive ordinary folks mad. Clara .Morris was famous in' her time for stage waits and dilatoriness. There was no use tearing one's hair, for,, no matter when tho curtain rose up nor how much a restless orchestra and fidgeting parquet complained, Clara came,when she felt inclined and not an instant-sooner, into out mat wumuu uud u ua.,.v. than merr, to grow old in a becoming manner; that they keep agreri deal of their yoilthful fuullugs, and outer in 19 the the spirit of the young lives tha.; surround them. This happy condition, uo doubt, has come withiy. tbe experience of many; and yut if all men would oulv look upon old age as thu genial Autocrat has done, thoy would welcome the advancing years as the best iuhyrltanuH of life.

F^ntaitic African Orgy Witnessed on 1 West Coaat hy Portuceae Officers. A fantastic orgy was witoesiod at the town of Loongi, the, capital of Bullom, west coast of Africa, by a party of ^officers from the West India regiment quartered at Sierra Leone. The people of Loon<,ri are Mohammedans, but the dancing devil himself is a relic of not long departed paganism, and oO also .probably ia the dance itself. It takes place in the courtr yard of tho chiefs premises, which ia entered through a circular hut. The scene whlrh presents itself to any one coming suddenly out of the daricne&a into the noise and glare is decidedly uncanny. / In the center of a circle which fills the courtyard the devil, with an orthodox tail, a great crocodile's head, and long gras*, looking like hajj\ depending from his body aad legs, and swaying as ne moves, Ieap3, beating time with his feet to tho beat of the drums, while the'women, two deep, wail a chant and strike their palms together in sfow, rhythmical measure, those in the fi-ont vow bowing down between each beat. The joung men-in long robes and caps, wail witH the women. Both are under vows, the dance being one of their rites. They look dazed to begin with, but gradually worK themselves into a fren;:y, and the black faces, - the monotonous wailing cry, the thrumming of the drums, the rattle of the claekers and the beat of the devil's feet a3 ho springs'up, oroueh.es down and swings about, makes a scene to shock tho quiet moon and StarBand gladden Gehenna. North of Sierra Leone, Africa, ia Mohammedan, South Pagan and the Southern people have this devil. When peace is-declared between two native tribes tho.peace deviL who is fetish, comes leaping into town, but if ho stumbles or fails it -is considered a bad omou and lie is put to death for his pains. His dress is sacred, but his person is of no consequence. HIS FIRST TRIP TO TOWN.

In the year )H—, many of the ranges of Mils branching out from the lofty Cordilleras Alountaina in Chili, were infested by buuds of desperadoes, who. led by fierce, merciless chiefs, would pounce upon all travelers supposed to nave valuables iu their possession, robbing and very often murdering them. The bodies"of the victims were sometimes flnnjf into deep gorges, aud at others left in the very roads to strike terror to the unlucky wanderer Who should chance to pass that way. Bernard Warren, a young captain of an American schooner from the United States, was oue day hunting in the vicinity of the infested locality, when he heard n*loud cry for help. The words were uttered' in unmistakable English, aud the young captaiu even thought he could recognize the voice is that of one of his sailors—a handsome youth who had shipped in his vessel a few days before she sailed. The schooner now lying in the harD'or p£ Valparaiso, tho captain had g'iveu liberty, that is to su}' permission to go ashore to one of tlie watches, that they tnight enjoy themselves. As to the captain himself, his enjoyments were, he believed, destined to be few in the world. Hunttug had always been for.him a pleasant pastime, bui Bveo that was now somewhat deprived Df its zest by the recollection' of the lorrow which had come to him| before he sailed. "~\ He had made, in his native jcity of New London. the acquaintance of Solina Hathawaj-, who, unfortunately, vrnS something of a coquette. . A beautiful girl, with.eyes li.ke stars a n d k voice like music, she had captivated Iho'hcart of Bernard, who had liually tvowed his passion. Kolina had laughed, when he concluded, and shaking her head saucily, bnd remarked that she was not yet ready to ninny, and that when she ihould be, she did not think ho would be tho man of her choice. Staggered l>v this blunt refusal, lie rose anil left the house without saving i rt'ord. Sli'e'had led hTm on, only to !augh at him when ho proposed to her, md he would endeavor to forget a Iflmuol r»f sneh hoiirtlostt ..nntnro. A week later he sailed away, and in the performance of his sea duties, which bo could do with all the ardor of a truu •ailor, he.slrovu to force Selina's imugu from his mind. Vain tho attempt, Ho was a miserible nmu. Ho grow palo and thin, md for some weeks lost his appetite. Finally, howeveivthe latter returned, Oiu not with it the light-hearted m:\nser which hud hitherto cluiTacterized Tims he was on that day, when, uniting in tho Chilian wilds, he hoard ;hecry.for help. Hi*"vfas a nature apon which such uu appeal could cot nil in vuiu. Rushing in tho direction of the noise, he there bo field the Handsome sailor youth mentioned^- attacked by two tierce-looking men with long boards, who had thrown him down, and were now rifling his pockets of the scanty allowance of money, which had been given him to amuse himself ashore. •Captain. Warren struck one of th# ruffians upon the head with the butt of his piece-, leveling him senseless to the earth. The other drew one of thoso long'knives which were great-favorites with the robbers at that period, and rushed upon him. Miming a furious blow at Msheart. The captain quickly ^sprung aside; then his gun again whizzed through the air, coming down, with crushing force, upon the head of the fecoi^l ruffian, who measured his length by th« side of Lis companion. The youth who had boon attacked, and-who-lay jtp.on .the,, .ground half stunned by a blow froiiYove oi the robbers, just befnro the capta.n appjurecJ, now staggered to his feet. "Thank you, captain," ho said, pressing the lalter's Imnd warmly. "I am glad—very g-lad you eamo when you did, as the rascals would otherwise have robbed and murdered mo.*' "I am glad I camc-whon 1 did." said the captain, "But you should not have strayed so far from the vessel. 1 hope no others of my sailors have come so far iiwny from tho town." '"' The young man colored nnd hung" his head. Then a smile- wreathed his lips, disclosing teetlt which wereduzzingly white and .even. "I'm afraid I\m a" sorry protoct-nr," •aid ho. iu-a.voico>\vhich. wns peculiarly conr.s» for ono of sucji genteel physique. •'Hero 1 came for tho sole purposo of btiii>£ ou hand to protect, vuu ip case yon ahoju'ii ae attacked" by the desperadoes, aud iustoud here you comu to my rescue." "You had tiettcj, get back to the town as fast as) you (uu,11 said Bernard. "Ay, ay, sir, answered the youth. "And yi/u?" '•Never mind me," said the captain, with the dare-devil, indifferent air ot a man caring little what became of him. \ A peculiar expression of pity passedover the face oJ the youth. More, a tear gleamed iu his eye as ho walked off towardrthe town. "What is tn«re about that young fellow which always affects me bo btrangelyr1'1 muttered the captain to himself, as he moved off. leaving the two desp&'udous lying side by uidu, btill benscless. Then he returned to the towti and made the vigilautes (police otlicers) uc(juuint(Ml with what hud taken place. Before nightfall a party of these men arwsted the two robbers, who were orought before the authorities in tho town. Uiiptain Warren anil William Marvel, the youth whom he had rescued, appeared against the prUouers. The latter were sent to tht? calaboose, srtjjituucod to hard -labor for a lifetime. The name of Captain Warren became, from that moment, a hateful ono to tho mountain robbers, who resolved to get him, if possible, in their clutches, aud hang him upou some tree where his skeleton, high up ou a topmost branch, might swing as a warning to others never tjp attempt to, prosecute tho band. The captain, who never feared for, nor iu fact cared for his life, continued his hunting excursions. On some days it was nightfall before he thought ni returning. Ono eveuing a territic storm burst upon him, while on his way to the town. The heavens were obscured by black clouds, and tho noise of. the, wind was like the roaring of the sea. The tall trees shook as if about to give way, their branches cracking with a diu like the rattling volleys of. musketry. Meanwhile the rain came down in slanting lines,drivinjj.against the young loan's iaei3 with a force which nearly stifled him. The violence of the gale increased every moment, tlie streams and rijrul-ets in the traveler's pathway svvelliug to iorreuts. On came the latter, rushing-.along with a force which wore uear throwing tjie sailor olf hi.o feet. Finally the waters increaspd to such a degree . that Bernard, to save himself fronr being overwhelmed by them, sought "refuge. in a deserted hut. half-way up ^ the mountain side. In the hut there was a pile of logs, behind which, at this moment, erotic lied a slender form, dreuched and sliiveriug with the wet. ^It was William the youth whom the captain'hud waved on a former occasion, and who. on this day had also followed him. reaching, by a circuitous route, the hut before Bernard, who, he thought likely, b'wih'g'Co'tiio'tiin'c'f-" iorr of his steps, would there seek refuse. During all this timo William had remained crouched behind this pilfv of logs, evidently fearing tlic captain's displeasure should lie make himself known. -•"---^_^ Bcniarit tfafT not proceeded far he discovered that -lie _coiihi go go no farther, the, water lilling tho hollows and other spaces in the ground so as to prevent his progress. " lie returned to the hut. W-tl4tum, who was now obliged to crouch in some shrubbery to hide, himself from the captain's view, thus remained until the. young man had gained tho hut, whon ho started to follow. Ho had not walked more, than tort stops whon he notioe/d"a partVof men approaching. The moon having now emerged from "fmhiud a cloud, revealed enough ol these personages for him to perceive that they wove mountaineers. They had long beards ami high boots; some of thorn carried carbines piling to their backs, while others were provided with long knives. The youth, who understood Spanish quite well, heard one of them say: "I t"Jll you he is horo to-night, for I saw him at sundown start on his" return, and I know he could not have gone far-in the present condition of tho roads.;' "YpAi would know him, if }'ou saw him, again, I suppose?'1 " l a m notfsureof that. Ho was down among tho trees, so that I could not see him very distinctly, but, as well aa I could make out, he was a small,, slender man." ^ " "Enough. If we only overtake nfm, we may avenge our imprisoned comrades.". "Ay. we will hang him to the tallest tree that-grows upon the hill." "His vessel will never leave this port with him for hor captain." Thus spoke the robbers, and William knew well that their conversation referred to Captain Warren. lit; hurried noiselessly toward them, keeping in the shadow of tho shrubbery, that they might not see him until he should conic close upon thorn1.' lie had heard enough to show ; him that they hail mistaken himself far-the jjn-ptuin, nml ho soemed anxious to carry out tho deception. Finally, he gained a point, within a few foet of tho robbers, when he sud- 'kujJ^-jUHO, half. turning, as'if about bap ting a retreat. The outlaws, with tierce cries, pounced upon him., They gathered round him, brandishing their knives, theicluaro eyes gloaming like tiro in the. mwn light. "You are our prisoner. Your name at once?" "Captain WarroYi, voulfc, pale but firm. Jte folded bis arms as he spokfj, and stood with an uufliuching air, ahhougn a close observer might have noticed a slight treiiior of the limbs. "Curses upon you!" howled a robber, advacciag and pressing the point of his kuife against the youth's heart. "Away with him!" shouted another of the robbers. Ho was there upon hurried off to the bills. "Xovf, then, if you have prayers to lay, bay them at ouce!" shouted the leader of the hand. "Wo intend to hang you to this tree"—-pciuting to a tree beneath vvbicLr the group bad halted. The lurid ligftt of a torch was now throwing a wilji glare upon the sceue. The savage mountaineers loaning upon rillc and club. Rooked likodemong holding revel by thp light of infernal lires. William was dragged to the foot of the tree thu uionicuL he had said a short prayer. "I have a request to make," said the youth, as he took a small note-book from his pocket and tore oil a leaf, '•which is that you will let me write a few words, and that? after my death, you will seud the note to my vessel." The idea seemed to rather please the robbers than otherwise. "We intended to send word to your rascally officers of your execution,11 said the leader of tlie band. "Nay, that is not all, I have more than a mere statement of my death to make." "You will let us read the note after you write it?" "Yes, on condition.ihat you will not read it untilafter myMeath." "Agreed; we have no objections to that," shouted several, simultaneously. The youth wrote a few lines. Then he rose. "Perhaps we had better read the note now." said one of the robbers. "Yes, yes," cried several of his companions. They attornpteil to snatch the note from the write r/s £rasp. "My last wish is defeated," cried William. "Well, let it be so." And he flung the paper to the winds. The gale catching it, carried it far away. The robbers despaired of finding it —at loast at night. "Hung him at once!" was now' the cry. They surrounded him. uttering lierce cries, and making wild gestures. 1 One of them had meanwhile pr'b. cured a rope, : which lie uow secured about William's neck. The other end of tho rope was then thrown over a high branch of the tree, to bo seized by several of the band. "Haui!" shouted the loader. The men hauled, aud William swung from the troo. At the samp moment, a strange rumbling noise was hoard, a meteor-like Hash was seen. "An earthquake!" shouted tho outlaws in chorus. ~ Tlie .mountain roek-ed- an4 s-wwwd-.- Thu outlaws rushed from the spot, to j»cek refuge iu the lower land, 'where tlforc was not t*o much danger. Tho shocks of tho earthquake lasted a full hour.

There are about pqe. d,agCtt .C doctors iu this city, says a New York* paper. They do not hang out their signs, but/are kept busy going about Calling, QJJ their patients, or customers, as they are usually healthy people, These doctors are employed on exr actly the same plan as they wore when practicing ia-the Flowery Kingdom, and Chinamen generally denounce the American plan of engaging a physician, _sI&$tead of Aemliag for -Mm doctor w'hen a Chinaman becomes sick and paying him for his' visits, be makes a contract when he's in good health with tho' medical ^liaji to .be kept in good health ^fur a certain period at a stated figure. As soon as the doctor makes a contract he begins work. Every day he makes a hasty call on bis patient and examines him briefly. If it should be be discovered that the patient had bo.en "seeing the elephant1' ou Mott.street'the previous night the doctor would deliver a lecture on his charge for being so foolish and leave him some medicine to reduce the size of his head. Should there lie nothing at all the matter the doctor hurries aft ay to hia next patient, for he has a great many to see in a day. Tho average contract price js about $35 a year, which the doctor receives, providing the patieut keeps well during the eufire time. If the patient sWould happen to belaid ii]) from any cause, 10 cents would be deducted from the $35 for every day he was not able to go out of the- house. This method has been in use ia China for hundreds of years and has been found to work very well. There is less sickness, and even if the suffefer iVrich it^ is to the doctor1* advantage to euro him us so'on as possible and not linger us some doctor* in this city have been, knowu tp^lo. A Chinaman will not employ aa American doctor if he. can possibly help it, because it is Ijeiieved that-the sickness will last twice as lung under his treatment. * The Chinese doctor dops not have T trrrixit every pattern ev^ry day, but he generally does if he can possibly get around. The usuaHVay i.s to make a contract with aN the occupants of a house o r laundry for s.iv $.1.30 a year.

For enmmon-sensy rules, good judgment as to what a public wants, the street-car companies of the City ol Mexico excel all( others. First place, no bells nro used on the horses or mules. The time made per mile i* bettor than any other city in the world, excepting machine-power lines. What •seems strange to foreigners, but which is afterwards reooguize.d as a very sensible idea, a horn with a peculiar soft and sonorous tone is btowu by the •driver bofore each crossing is reached and to warn trespassers ou the track. It cannot bo imiuuod, by boys, as the whistle is'often done; All linos have first, second, and third class cars, and besidtta -th<Js^ -^th^y hitve tirst and seeond class funeral cars. Market women and persons with huge baskets and bundles must either take the second class-cars or market cars, which at th? same time are cheaper. The funeral cars can ho hi roil in trains of-from two to tt-ii c-ars and are draped i.ji black, with regulation employes. Those cars of course make the •saiuo time as tho regular cars and everything goes along smoothly and swiftlV. Another liuo of cars running to v the "bath's11 will sell you a bath ticket aud your fare for lJ.j cents, "hot or cold.'" and from any part of the city through which the line runs.

The sooner you begin the better ; delay ia dangerous. 41 1 was troubled with catarrh for over two years. I tried various remedies, and was treated by a number of physicians, but received no benent until I began to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. A few bottles of this medicine cured uie of this troublesome complaint and completely restored my health."—Jesse M. Boggs, Holmau's Milla, N. 0. "When Ayer's Sarsaparilla was recommended to me for catarrh, I was inclined to doubt its etticacy. Having tried so many remedies, with little beuefit, I had no faith that anything would cure me. I became putaeiated from loan of appetite and impaired digestion. I liad nearly lost the pense^of smell, and my system was badly deranged. I was about discouraged, when a friend urged me to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and referred me to persons whom it had cured of catarrh. After taking half a dozen bottles of this medicine, I am convinced that the only Sure way of treating this obstinate disease is through the blood." — Charles H. fclaloney, 113 Kiver St., Lowell, Mass.

As we look down ia^he. valley after sunset, it fssomftr^ and grows more so, until the valleys are all filled with darkness, thus making one dark green waving mass, seemingly perfectly level and still, quite light where wo were, on the heights; then we couKl distinctly hd^r the baud of music,' playing down at Luzern, which is one and one-half hour^s ride bv train and the same by boat, three hours distant from the summit; this may seem incredible but please remember cfco Suisse caryatid boats don't run a*s they do in America; they are slow WoufTaH hav«|gTT»e i l.ipt a 1'HW persons, cirpe"^ I hose ladies from & too Itjng for their blankufts; "'a vvils, their lower extremUJi's hung o u t a great distance, and those blankets' would persist in following the wind, winch un that particular niornin^ was unusually brisk, and those Uuies were kept in a. consUuit Tieat Lo k<;ut> frtjiu lusin^ them uHc^et her, and between their embarrussment and the piercing .cold, mnny (^uit tlie up..in *W, of scale. , rising surj F o r t h e Vtm% fctwio »io<H rrUwitf ii its gritndear*, rftik'uig H its setting only o« a , In the dfrectiuH of the •*Ks found t,he iVJuine capped .rnounty airis;. the' hi^hefctof the Jong, "Jng ,jrange was itluiniuated first, whiob to us, withou/ ' powerful telescope, otany,'. p ^ ^ Fays giyiug.. une aji ^ that these monster-peaked glaciers' were studded with diamonds and sparkling with emeralds, rather than being for/ned of pure, clean ice, some of it having been in tho present place many centuries. j The evening and morning being perfect for viewing, which is rare herein Switzerland, . al! lovers of beauty got their fill, even those who retired before the sun came—theirts was of cold air, however.

Before it Was fairly light we, were all out on the high point, Tomlishorw, to see the sun on the other side •. gf. ihe mountain. "Marty were there- before me and when I got up th§re,-^-welf, I just thought I was again in Alexandria, w\iy? well pisrhaps because the customs were much the same. IThe lading had on cdttpn pants and chemise, turned wrong side out, with pockets for the shoulder blades, and the men were dressed much the same way with the exception of the latter garment, the hair was uncombed a&4 •'ftvinfik, to the wind, faces un\VHsheiVcta'!;~of course, all were anxious to get there in time and coutd not wait fo fix up, so tbey had simply rolled out of bed, grabbed the 'Haavy1 ra^i "\vKite or hltro b|4ll^et,' and hamed ui: tbe rrW«nt»iin. !• Now %o 60 miles from our. position. As we rixle, row or walk under the overhanging crags and peaks, often from 1,000 to 5,000 feet about our heads, and hanging over their bases many feet, the wonderment to me is that some of them don't fall every day rather than about once in a century. Looking at Mt. Pilatus from Luzern, one would say that it might be between 100 and 200 feet'-high, but looking from its summit down to Zurich, a city of about 10(^,000 souls, and three hours distant bv the train, it appears like white spots, all things are small,- when compared to" Pilatus, yet it is small compared to Mt. Blanc. Pilatus, which seems to have been partly away in an. early day by a glacier, leaving cragged peaks on its sides, has, like, many places in Germany, a legend. In the- - - loth •century it was often scaled by the mountain climber; after hpving been visited several tunes, and its dungeons sought out, the.Suisse noticed after each visitation, great snow, ico aud rock slides came, engulfing manyin the valleys. - rAn inyesttgatvon took place and an article drawn up, which is now on- record in the city books, wherein' it was stated that the Evil'SpirifVested on Mt. Pilatus aud beincj much disturbed by the visitors, throw down these mighty missies, burying whole villages, in retaliation; consequently this article forbad'4the scaling of Mu Pilitus by anyone.

I would agaiifcall your attention and the sittontion of the legislature to this subject. 1 ask it, not to oppose or antagonize these institutions, but because I have, during the past two years, been repeatedly urged to bring^.his matter more prominently before the legislature by customers of those socalled banks in villages where there are no Other than private banks, and the farmer, the mechanic, the laborer and merchant are compelled to use them in the tranaction of business. A banking law, with the supervision it provides, is supposed to stand between the poop and banking corporations, protecting the interests of all alike; and as the law as it now stmds docs not give that protection to depositors in all the associations using the name "bank"' or "banker," it seems to me it should be amended in the interest of, and for the protection of, the public. The people cannot safely keep their money in their houses, and therefore for safe keep? ing are almost compelled to deposit "it in a bank, and if a private bank is the 3taly bank in the place, then of necessity they must patronize it and take the bank- "or's "promise to pay" without other seourity. The legislature of 4*75 enacted a law calculated to prevent unincorporated banks using the name of "bank" in connection' with their business, as will be seen by turning to chapter 85, section 3133 of HowoU's annotated statutes, but the proviso in said section nearly makes nugatory that \rhich it sought to correct. Two private baftka have suspended during tho year, viz: Reeves, Patterson & Co. of Berrien springs, who closed their doors Feb. 10, . 1890, und J. H. Sciwaeck & Co. of East Tawas, who suspended payment Doc. 11, IBM. Theme with the three, ap-called private banks Which failed last year, make tire banks which have suspended pay men V «inoo the banking department was organ* bed two rears ago. State Millers' Association. The Michigan millers' association held Its annual meet uj? at Lansing Thursday, thirty members being present. The subjects discu&sed wort* "Fast Frieght Lines," •'Millers' Mutual Insurance Companies of Other States," uLd "The Usefulness ol Weekly Reports." The secretary was instructed to keep close watch of mutual and other insurance companies, and to notify members of tho association of any loss of power of companies to pay losses. Anesolution was adopted fuvonng an amendment of existing laws so that mutual insurance companies baving premium notes of 1100,- 000, and a cash capital of tl0,000 or over, be permitted to do business in this state on payment of an manual foo of $100, without payment of back taxes or lines.

The new Episcopal church at Belleville, which will cost $3,000, is nearly completed and will be dedicated this month. It is a pretty frame structure and a credit to the society. Decatur farmers experimented at .raising peppermint last season, and it Was so succesaful that a large number will go into it the coming season and give up tho other products.

The Fate of the Elections BUI to Be Decided at Once. \ S u m m a r y of the Happenings of tho Past Week. It begins to be apparent that the present uusatisi'ttclory state of affairs iu the «cnuto must boou bo terminated. Fifty working days wiil end the life of the fifty-first congress yet the lirst of thu regular annual appropriation bills remains to be acted upon by tho souutu. Tho fueling of impatience which this condition of tho puulic business has aroused, has gathered strength every day, and the significant remarks uttered in debate last week by senators of recognized influence- appear to have had the effect of bringing the senate nearer to a change of the program that has Laid sway since congress mot in December last. A caucus of tho republican senators is to be hold and it is confidently expected by most of the republicans, us a result of it, that, before the week expires, a crisis will have been reached with respect to the elections bill, and the senate will have urrived at a clear understanding of what course is to be pursued for the remainder of tho session. The lines of buttle aro narrow-^ ing, and there is u gathering of forces.1 Cyrus Bacon, one of tho men crazed by tho religious excitement ut Flushing, fought desperately with tho Flint jailer aud would have kUlcd him but for timely assistance. Ha has now been taken to Poutiac. An unknown man was seen walking across the lake at Man is tee Monday. Suddenly he disappeared, a?>d it is supposed that ho was drowned.

Meech of Charlevoix went hunting last week. Of course he took his gun along, but forgot his sense. He mo'gg'ed along until he. tripped over ~a brush,, heep and himself- and gun became hopelessly mixed and the g~un went ,off. Meech will not die, but will have better sense hereafter. A New Year's party at Bailey had a sad ending. The most merry among the guests was Mrs, Sophronia Parker, mother of Mrs. Feuton, at whose house tho party occurred. She sat down in a chair after a hearty burst of laughter, clapped her hand to her side, and was dead in an instant. . Dolos Andres of Montroso has hrs cup full. • His eldest son, aged 22, suddenly became insane and was coniujyed to Pontiac. Tho excitement was too much for the brother, aged 15, and within a week he, too, was committed to the same asylum. When tho lino was stretched between unrecorded reason, a jog was made in it and-one township sliced from Muskegon.

When he did not f^nd the horso there he hired another and went to oofc'forit;—Wfcen tnrlosfu'cd pf~ the state of affairs he was hot. Absent republican senators have been requested to return, and preparations" are making on both sides of tho chamber for the final struggle. A part of the campaign, it is believed, will be a series of night sessions, designed to attest the efficacy of the old methods of pasr^ng a bill obnoxious to therminority, as well as to secure the adoption of the new cloture rule, if it be decided to press this measure. In the house the first Monday of the month is "individual suspension day," and members are given an opportunity to pass measures of local interest. Chairman Farquhar of the merchant marine and fisheries committee will call up the shipping bill Tuesday. Its friends propose to allow two days for the consideration, but a determined effort wi^l be made by the opposition to. defer final action on tho bill as long as possible iu the hopo of defeating it iu t h s manner without running tho risk 'of a final Vote on the passage of the bill. There is a prospoet that consideration of the, shipping bill may bo antagonized by appropriation hilts,"- and that the former measure may not seetiro the fleOr. Friday may be devoted to bills on the private calendar. It is expected to fill iu any time during the week not devoted to the shipping bill and to special ordors. with appropriation bills, four of which are on the calendar awaiting consideration, Chairman Cutcheon of the military affairs committee, having the_ right of way with tho appropriation bill. JUSTICK BROWN AT THE CAl'lTAU Washington society will give Justice Browu and his family a warm' welcome. They have many .acquaintances here who met them a few winters ago as the guests of Senator and Mrs.,Palmer. "The Browns," says tho Star, "are people of means and their future homo here will be the center of refined hospitality. Mrs. 'Brown is a vory pretty woman and dresses with elegance and taste." Judge Brown arrived here Saturdcy morning and was accompanied by Mrs. Brown, H. H. Duffleld'and wife, T. S. Jerome and Walter S. Harsh a of Detroit, and Daniel Goodwin and wife of Chicago. At the depot wa3 Mr. James II. McKonny, clerk of the supreme tourtr who escorted the Justice to the capitol. Tho other members of tho party went to Arlington Hotel, where the judge Coined them.a little later. Justice lirow tiled on the president in the afternoTm and thanked him personally for his appointment, it being their first meeting since the nomination was sent to the senate. Ho was accompanied by Chief Justice Fuller and Associate Justice Brewer. Must Pay tho Preacher. A dispatch from Atlanta, Ga., says: hief Justice Bleekley, in deciding that the Antioch Baptist church must pay tho alary of the preacher, says: "If any debt ought to be paid, it is one contracted for the health of souls, for pious ministrations and holy service. If any class of debtors ou^ht to pay, as a matter of moral as well as legal duty, tho people of a Christian church are that class. ' No church can have any higher obligation resting upon it than that of being just. The study of justice for more than forty years has impressed me with the supremo importance of this grand and noble virtue. Some of the virtues are in the nature of moral luxuries, but this is an absolute necessity of social life. It is the hog and hominy; the bacon and beans of morality, public and private. It is the exact virtue, being mathematical in its nature. Mercy, pity, ^charity, gratitude, generosity, magnunimitjvete.,arc the liberal virtues. They flourish partly on voluntary concessions made by exact virtue, but they have no right to extort from it any unwilling concessions. They cata' only supplicate on personaL A man cannot give in charity or pity, hospitality or magnanimity, the smallest part of what is necessary to enable him to satisfy the demands of justice. The law grants exemption of property to families, but none to corporations or collective, bodies, lay or ecclesiastical. These miist pay their legal debts if the can. All their property, legal and equitable, is subject. We think a court may well constrain this church to do justice. It is certainly an energetic measure to sell the church to pay tho preacher, nor would it be allowable to do so if other means of satisfying the debt were within reach. The new An;< Arbor it Ypsilanti railroad was used for the first time Friday to the great delight"of the people in both towns. Everything proved satisfactory and regular trips will shortly be run. DIDN T HAVE TIMK TO 1>KY. The complaints which ^havo recently appeared in tho newspapers respecting the inferior quality of the smaU.denqnnnatiqns "n't the nc\v~treasury notes were not unexpected by the officials of the Treasury Department who are familiar With the subject. The demand for small denominations- has been so great and proes'ing that the new notes were hurried into circulation before they were fairly dry. The natural result -is that the paper is brittle, or furry, according to tho treatment the note may receive in use; while the ink rubs off or smirches, somewhat easily. These effects will disappear as soon as a sufficient supply of the notes is accumulate^ so that they may lie in the Treasurers vaults a short time and season. Similar complaints have been made of every new issue of currency. They were particularly emphatic tn lSiiB, when tho issue of tho silver certificates was made. > NOTKS. Mrs. E, J. Grimes, vice A. D. Grimes deceased, has been appointed postmaster at Stockbridgo, Ingham county, Mich. Tho president has accepted the resignation of Judge Wm. McKefinan, United States circuit judge of the third judicial district of Pennsylvania, who retires because of ago. A The house committee on rules has for somo time had before it Mr. Dockery's resolution asking for an investigation of the public charges that some legislators are interested in a silver pool. It is the purpose of Mr. Dockery to offer a resolution recitin* the facts and discharging tho committee that the house may act at once on the proposition.""" * REX. MEN AND THINGS.

BUILDI.VU AND LOAN ASSOCIATIONS. These have been in active operatio n in man y state s of th e unio n for man y years. They have proved of great benefit to the wageearner s in different state s of our own as well as in foreign countries . The y are of more recen t origin in Michigan . Throug h th e encouragemen t extende d by th e act passed by the Legislatur e in 188T man y association s have been forced. Throug h these , home s have been secured for a large numbe r of our toihn g population . In l&sy, lor th e purpos e of furthe r encourag - ing these associations , and for th e purpos e of avoidin g in thi s ea>e double taxation , an act was passed exemptin g from taxation , cfflrtilicate s of stock and all mortgage s or othe r securit y held by these associations . This was intende d to apply solely and alon e to th e corporation s tha t were established for th e benefit of thos e referred to. But, perhaps , because of thi s exemption , association s have been organized and are maintaine d for th e purpos e of investment s by capitalists , believing tha t here was a good field where the y could safely invest thei r funds. The questio n as to whethe r thi s was authorize d by the act has never been passed upon by competen t authority , but if it can be don e th e law ought to be amende d BO as not to exempt thi s class of investmen t from taxation .

The same rule of taxatio n ought to prevail in \ such cases as is provided for th e taxatio n of bank stock. The reason s for exemptin g th e stock of those who have but a sm;tll fractio n of it paid for, do not exist where paid-u p stock is issued.

At th e Easter n Asylum I met member s of the othe r asylum boards, and th e need s of the thre e institution s were discussed. It was agreed tha t mor e room is require d in all our asylums. This seems imperative , unless some plan can be devised to relieve them of a large class of patient s who are hnrmle* s but incur - able. It is obvious tha t if thi s class were returne d to thei r friends, patient s who could be benetite d by treatmen t might be received. If th e presen t practic e is adhere d to, th e deman d for mor e mom will be continuous , and th e cottag e system will be far mor e economica l tha n the : multiplicatio n of separat e institu - tions. The report s submitte d by the trustee s give full information , and th e oare of our insane will requir e your serious consideration . Michiga n is advance d in her- treittmen t of~ th e mentall y dif-ca*ed, and ,on e has only to visit our abyifiiua to be convince d tha t these unfortunat e people receive every neede d tar e and comfort . of road makin g Is a waste of tim e and labor. Rood * ordinaril y th e beat were hist winter u bad as those en which little or no work had been done . Goo d wagon road s all th e year roun d would be mor e to tbe genera l advantage, would add more to th e value of farms, and yield comfort , convenienc e aud profit to a larger numbe r of people tha n any othe r work for which public mone y i* expended . We claim to be a practica l people , but surely our road buildin g has been a failure. Avast amoun t of labor has been anmiall y expende d upon our road s for man y years, but it ha s been don e withou t »y»tem and withou t competen t supervision . AH a result th e labor is largely wasted and yields no final improvement . Tbe establishmen t of a funera l system of road makin g which would gradually, even if slowly, result in permanen t good road s throughou t tbe state , would be a wke an d beneficen t reform . TAXATION. The m Iu a genera l feeling amon g all classes, but mere pronounced , perhaps , amon g the agricultura l and industria l people , tha t public expenditure s have increase d much mor e rapidly tha n the abilitr-o f th e people to pay, and tha t our civilization \n becomin g very expensive. Greate r simplicit y would bette r accor d with th e pre.seut cir<.umst«n<ej » aud conditio n of our people. Ther e is no desire to lower our btandar d of civilization or impai r th e efficiency of our various institutions , but th e people believe tha t simplicit y and wise econom y promote , rathe r tha n impede , huma n virtues and improve - ment . Our people are willing to suppor t generously those public expenses which ten d to Ihu guntrra l welfare, but the y also bolieve tha t state taxes are too high, and tha t no public institutio n need suffer if less tax was levied. Taxatio n has steadily increase d year by year, while the ability to pay, at least by the largest class of taxpayers, tn e farmers , has dimin - ished. Ther e should be an effort mad e to reduce taxation . The deman d tha t only careful and neede d expenditure s be authorize d is imperative and should be heeded . Your own wisdom and experienc e will suggest wa'Vs and mean s of afford ing relief, tmt I call attentio n to some feature s of our presen t system which seem to me to need correction . Our system of i-tat e taxatio u need s a thor - ough revision for the purpos e of equalizin g the assessment on the two classes of proper t y, tha t subject to specific tax and tha t «bject to local taxation . Kvery industry , business aud property interes t should bear its lust thar e or the burde n of taxation , but, underou r presen t system , tha t vast amoun t of propert y which pays a sijecilic tax pays at least one-hal f less in proportio n to its value thar i th e propert y subject to direc t and local taxation , thu s addin g to th e burde n of those lea^t able to pay, an l favoring the cor[j(ii ate weaith of our state . Anothe r just cause' of complain t is tha t muc h propert y is now exempt from taxatio n tha t ought not to escape. Ther e seems to be na good reason why propert y owned, and used by railroad , mining , telegrap h and telephon e companies , and othe r association s for j rivate purpose s should be exemp t from genera l taxation . 1 doubt th e policy of exemptin g any propert y from equal taxation . The grantin g of special privileges to an y class alford's jutt cause <jf complain t to th e masses. 1 commen d this subject of exemption s to your careful consideration . Man y who have given though t to th e subject favor a retur n to th e count y system lor the collectio n of delinquen t taxes. 1 believe it would be less expensive and more efficient tha n the presen t system, which is, in my opinion , cumbersom e and costly. If each count y were required to pay to the state its proportio n of th e $ratetaxran d thei r giverkfull contro l of all proceeding s to enforc e collectio n by the tale of laud, etc.. I believe a large saving to th e state would follow, and it would make th e officers of th e township s and countie s more watchfu l of thei r dut i sin seeing tha t the tax is proj erly and legally laid, asd the enforcemen t of th e law would be more Certain . Anothe r featur e of taxatio n which should have your attentio n is th e taxatio n of real estat e on which ther e is mortgag e emcumbrance . Justic e to the owner of th e real estate forbids levying a tax on a larger interes t tha n he" may have io the laud, yet, for various reaso'us, itmay be difficult to ascertai n his exact interest . All agree tha t th e mortgag e is evidence o propert y and should be taxed. Mort - gagor and mortgage e should , between them , pay taxes on th e full value of th e property . Californi a has a statut e unde r which th e full tux may be paid by the owner of th e land , and such proportio n of the tax HO paid aa the indebtednes s bears to the assessed value become s a legal i-et-of T against the niorttfuge . As our law stands , th e o\vne r of the laud pays tax <m th e full value, bo ti s real interes t great or small, while th e mort - gagee, who is usually th e bette r able to pay, eithe r escapes taxation , or pays anothe r tax on the same property . If th e mortgage e U a non-residen t of th e btate he jJays no tax, which is a discriminatio n against our own. people who have'"mone y to loan. In the interes t of equal taxatio n 1 cull your special attentio n to this feature . • ' I couside r thi s questio n of taxatio n tbe most imjwrtan t with which you have to deal. Nearl y all quest ion* would be easy of solutio n if the cost was not to be torn-idered . but eve^y move cosia_.tm)n>:y . and In th e end th o people must lT, and I suggest tha t yon conside r whethe r tbe discontinuanc e of this boan t would be injuriou s to tne public health . : POLIC Y We have an Insurance * Polic y Commissioner , who, with th e Comtnibaione r of Insuranc e an d the Attorney-General , form a commi&do n V> provide a standar d form of insuranc e policy. I suggest th e discontinuanc e of thi s commu - siuu and tha t th e Commissione r of insuranc e be require d to perform its duties . STATE OAME AND KUJH WAKDJtW. - The preservatio n of our game an d fish from wanto n and run necessary destructio n should be wisely guarde d by law. The presen t law provides for th e appointmen t of a Stat e Gam e an d Fish Warden , at a tlxed salary, whoee dut y it is with tbe aid of certai n deputies , to enfona s the statute s relatin g to birds, game and fish. Ther e seems to be no valid reason why thi s class of laws canno t be enforced , like an y other , by the prope r prosecutin g and police officer** of th e counties . I am informe d tha t the Gam e Warden has very rarely conducte d a prosecutio n in person , but it is don e by th e local prosecuto r at his request . Withou t auch request it is still th e dut y of a prosecutin g attorne y to see tha t all offender s are punished . The Deput y Game- vWardens must get thei r pay throug h th e Board s of Supervisors, and in man y cases th e board s have refused any reasonable compensation , and henc e the law has been unenforced . I recommen d tha t tne law be so amende d tha t the Constable s Sheriffs and Deput y Sheriffs of the countie s be especially intruste d with its enforcement , such officers to receive the san e fees tha t are allowed the m in othe r crimina l mat - ters. If the change s suggested are made , th e office of Stat e Uaiu e and Fish Warden wouldb seem unnecessary , aud in such case I bus*ge*t> its discontinuance . *The opportunit y you have for th e discontinuanc e of appointiv e offices, withou t being chargexL-wit h partisa n motives, should be improve d where it will serve th e public good.

Let us bear in mind , in all our official acts, tha t we are exercising delegate d authorit y and aro sent here to enact the popula r will. Publi c sentimen t plainly indicate s tha t our people will no longer patientl y submit to the steady increas e of public expenditure s which has continue d throug h the past twenty-five years.

The time has come when our people demand that unnecessary taxation must cease. State taxesmust not increase. Let every request for public aid be sternly denied unless it can be shown that the money ia needed for public purposes. OTHEK The N'onnal Schoil will ask for $90,930; the Agricultural College for $&.\630. of which $10,- 0W is to rebuild tbe laboratory; the Mining Sekool for $138,000 for construction, equipment and current expenses; the School for the Wind, S4ti,*«0; Sciiool for tho Deaf, $1H,S,'I9. or $14,101) le*>9 than two years ago; tho Soldiers' Home asks for $177,000, and tbe ex-Opvernor _aays: "I respectfully ask this Lcg.Rlatnre to appropriate, as early QS -possible, tue sum of £LU,UUu"to pHyofT a debt incurred from the fact tkat the amount received from the general government wiu? much smaller than had been expectIHL Tho State Public Sch/ol asks for jWW.ttUS; the Reform School for $ta,GH) annually aad the Industrial Homo for Girls wants $73,- TAXATIOX.

The law as well as its execution Kbonld require all property to contribute its jUMt ftharc towards the support of Che government and it* own protection.

Successful prison management require* special qualifications iu the warden and his Hubordinates. Questions other than the confinement and support of convicts arf involved in prison government, aud long study and familiarity with criminal clashes and their conditions are necessary to tit men to deal 'with them wisely. Believing that our prisons should have the be«t executive and bnwnpRs talent obtainable for their management, 1 have elsewhere recommended that all our penal institutions be placed under the control of a single board. This_board should, so far as possible,- be nonpartisan, and should appoint tbe wardyiq, and have general supervision of the institution. Iho wardens of our prisons are the only oflicers at the head of state institutions who an1 appointed by the Ciovernor. The other executive heads of institutions are flppoiuted by the respective eovernini; boards, and sound policy demands that the prison appointment* bo nonpolitical. Et-EOTION l^W. All are agreed as to the desirability of ballot reform, and our new election law is generally approved as a step iu the rijrht direction. The booth feature drives every voter an opportunity to be alone with his ballot, and ibsoluto secrecy is the best guaranty of purity in elections. A practical test of our law has shown that some amendments are needed to render it entirely efficient aud satisfactory. 1 suggest the following: . 1. Let the law apply to all cloctiona. 2. Let the distribution or using of ballots outside the booths be prohibited unde- the severest penalties. 8. I/Ot the ballots be printed by the county clerkg^under the Miperv ision of the party committees, and be delivered by the county clerks to the inspectors of elections. Let the ballots be paid for by the state iu all state elections, and by the townshii* and cities in township and municipal election*. ' 4. A more expeditious method of counting should be adopted. /> 5. I favor the Australian system, or ume modification which would render na&ecewary the use of slips or pasters. W.VQON ROAM. I call your Attention to the necessity for pome change in tho laws relating to the highways of the state. The condition of all wagon roads laftt winter WM »uttlcient proof that our present system PTATK, BOARDSv In this line of economical thought I call your attention to the number of state boards of from three to six members now authorized by law. There are fifteen ex-officio and thirty official boards, the latter comprising more than HO different memberb. No salary is raid the member?, but many of them receive .ex*- penses and per diem compensation, and gome are allowed a secretary or clerk at a fixed salary, Aside from the question of expense, I believe the public interest would bo better served by abolishing many of these boards. I favor having one board of control for all our prison and reformatories, instead of one for each institution, as at present, .tiuch aboard *'ould^ h_av,gJJie advantage of being able to compare financial and reformatory results in tho different institutions, and could establish a uniform system of bookkeeping so as to make such comparisons available. Clerical force could be reduced and more economical and efficient administration of these institutions secured. Such a board would be a* well qualified to advise in the matter of pardons as the board no* organized for that special,purpose, and could also perform the duties now entrusted to the State Board of Corrections and Charities. A single board controls the prisons of England, another those of . New York State, and 1 am informed tbe same policy is followed in nio?-t other states of t he union. A similar board could-control otir educational institution*. We already have a State Board of Education whnstt^principal duty is the management of the State Normal .School. I believe grod results wo-.tld follow if all our state schools except the University and the Agricultural College wore managed by trie State lloard of Education, arid their, preseu' boards, of control abolished. With a third Board of Control for our asy- •lnrns and charitable institutions we would huve five boards instead of a dozen or more for the manogi'mcnt of the institutions named. The establishment of a single Bonrd of Control for eavh. class of in>titntions. penal, charitable, and educational, with full control over and responsibility for their proper management would secure better supervision of these important intercuts. The business of the state should haw the best executive talent obtainable, ana, so far as practicable, the officers should not be liabl.' to interference except for business reasons. It is for the interest of every citifceu that the business of the state be done correctly and economically"and based upon true theories. The duties of the State Board of Health consist lArxely of the collection of statistics of sickness and meteorological conditions which affect the health of our people, ami of *cientiiic experiments relating to the nature and cauw* of disease.

SOME INSIDE SCENES. H O W A GREAT PANTOMIME IS PUT ON THE STAGE. IThe Bftbet In the Wood" u Seen from Wings of a Chicago St»f«— at a Fairy-Llk* Spectacle. Mechanical Effect*. th« IT is probab% true that nonsense la the straw that tickles humanity the world over, but there is a deal of the article floating through the newspapers these times that produces altogether a different sensation. Much of it is more productive of cbrrtmic melancholia. A BOSTON paper proposes that tho death penalty be inflicted by means of chloroform! This shows the kindly and humane instincts of Boston, but it is curious that it hasn't suggested that the pleasantest death is a good square clip by its eminent citizen, Mr. Sullivan. THE habits that mark the truo gentleman are not so difficult to acquire as to account for tho comparatively small number who own them. Their neglect "arises usually from carelessnos3_ or from a selfishness'which places personal ease ahead of the comfort oi¥ gratification of others. For unselfishness, lies at the root of the best breeding. CONGUESS has done weil - i n - p g the international copyright law. it is an act of justice alike to American publishers, authors and printers What is wanted most in this country is a distinctive American servtiment which must be the basis of patriotism. •We are willing to, take- ideas from other countries, but they should lirst be assimilated through Ame1 loan brains.

As A rule a physician is always ready-to attend another physician if sick without cirtrge. It"is a courtesy that has been recognized the . world •ver. Lawyers will sometimes give lawyers counsel gratuitously, but when it comes to making elaborate arguments, to making searching investigations, it is generally expected that something more than "thank you" will be employed to express the client's appreciation of the, services. THE groundwork of genuine success Ita breeding live stock lies beyond all question in a sound constitution. The most costly gold watch ever made by a jeweler fails to mark the trend of time immediately on the mainspring jetting out of order. Again, the noblest and bravest of men that ever lived, is quite out of the race in the rough-and-tumble scrimmage of life, if rariously affected with heart disease His ancestry may have been the bravest of the brave, yet his infirmity places him in an altoc;?th*sr different sphere on account-of defect-, ive vitality. Few persons who have seen "Babes in the Wood," the famous English Christmas pantomime, says the Chicago Herald, have any conception of the labor, patience and mechanical energy that ttro epent nightly to make the great production a success. All the audience sees is an ever-changing stage picture, briiliant in colors and graceful in outline, which fascinates the eye and engrosses the •mind.

A single misstep, a false note, the careless handling of a ropo or light, or u. blunder of any sort, no mutter how trivia!, would upset an entire scene and mar the picture as certainly as would a pot of paint flung with good aim at a rare canvas. As one reclines in an opera chair and watches tho dazzling transformations occurring behind the footlights he rarely diverts his mind long enough to even wonder how it is all uecomplished. Ho cannot see the crowds of coryphees, araazons, merry men and children who shake the broad wines and wait"impatiently ior the cues that will send them hurrying into the glare of the stage lights. Nor can he see the queer-looking, athletic fellows who stand perspiring behind the towering sections of scenery ready to jump and effect a transformation at the tinklinar of a bell or the sound of a bugle.

Gtf'l t ft P ! • . / ' ' • THUKSDAY, JAN. 22,:1891. "Fond of dancing?" You would reply "Yes" to this question, of course, if you had already mastered that delightful art. No reason why you should not. Every detail of dancing the "JModern Society Pancos" is so clearly described in the article on that subject by Mr. Dodworth, New York's greatv< est dancing teacher, and all the steps and motions of the newest dances so fully illustrated in Demorest's Family Magazine for February, that a child can learn to dance without a master. A course at dancing school is expensive, but you can become a proficient danc-J er, with no outlay, by practicing as directed in these illustrated instructions. It was while dancing that Juliet won tjie love of h?r Borneo, although tjiey later parted in sorrow, as shown in the exquisit full-page gravure of "Romeo and Juliet." "A Dream of Love," the second full-page picture, is a daiuty Valentine offering; and charming counterparts of many beautiful and noble women illustrate the lea'tlmg article, "Ladies of High Degree," including portraits of the Princess of "Wales and her daughters, and the American beauties wljo have married into the English aristocracy. "Moulding as Related to Art Industry" is artistically and profusely illustrated. The "Portrait Gallery" shows the handsome features of the now world-famous- consumption cure discoverer, Dr. Robert Koch; and "A Violet Luncheon" tells how to prepare and serve such an entertainment so as to have it in."good form." Coughing IS Nfitnre's effort to expel foreign aub- Man res from the bronchial j>a.saaj»ea. Frequently, this tfaujes inflammation and the n«ml of an aneriyne. No other expectorant or anodynd is equal to Cherry Pectoral. It assists in ejecting the mucus, allays irritation, induce* repose, and is the uxost popular of all cuuyh cures. "Of the many preparation* liefnre the public for the pure of colds, coutjh.i, oronchilii*, and kindred iliseiise.s, there is none, within the raujje of my experience, ao reliable as Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. For yenrs I was subject to colds, followed by terrible coughs. About four years ii^o, when so urHictnl, I was advised to try Ayer's Cherry Pectortikpntl to lay all other remedies aside. I"did «o, and within a week was well of my cold and cough. ISince then I have always kept this preparation in the houne, and feel comparatively .secure." — Mrs. L. L. Drown, Denmark, Miss. "A few years ajjo I took a(sevi>rft roUl which affected my lungs, j had a terrible cough, and passed nij;lit after night without sleep. The doctors gave me up. I tried Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, which relieved my lmi£N, induced sleep, &ud afforded the rest necessary for the Recovery of lny .strength.

Dr. Kocb'a Wonderful Keruedy. Prof. Koch's published report, describing the composition of the lymph is comparatively brief. It Bays tho lyinph consist* of glycerine aud an extract derived from the pure cultivation of the tubercle bacilli. It coutijiues: "In the simple extract there naturally passes from the tuberculur bacilli, resides the effective substances, all tho other matter soluble iu f>0 JHT cent glycerine. Consequently it coutaius a certain quantity of mineral baits, coloriug substances and other unknown extractive matter. Some of tiiese substances can be removed from it tolerably easily. The effective substance is insoluble in absolute alcohol. It can bo precipitated by it, though not, indeed, in a puro condition, but still com bleed with th« other extractive matter, which is likewise insoluble iu alcohol. The coloring mutter may also J>e removed, rendering it possible to" obtain from the extract a colorless, dry substance containing the effective principle in a n ueh more concentrated furm than the original glycerine solutions. Now, if one increased artificially in the vicinity of t-i^ bacillus tho amount of »•> crotising substance in the tissue, the necrosis would Kpivad'a greatei distance. Tho conditions of nourishment for the bacillus would, thereby, become more unfavorable than usual. In the first place, tho tissue which hud become uecrotiu over a larger extent, would decay and detach itself, aud, where such were possible, would carry off the enclosed bai'ilU »ud eject them outwardly,- so far disturbing their vegetation that they would' much more speedily be killed than under ordinary circumstances." Prof. Koch concludes with a reference to tho duration of the remedy. Of consumptive patients whom he believes have been-temporarily cured, two have returned to the Moan te hospital for observation, Xo bacilli have appeared in their sputum for the past three months, and their phthisical symptoms have gradually and completely disappeared. WASHINGTON LETTER OUTLOOK FOE WORK LN CONG BESS THE COMING WEEKPlans Proposed and a Bill Introduced to Re-Model the White A. Summa ry of (he Happenings of the 1'UHI Week. The legislative prospect for this week is full of promise of matters of public- interesl and importance. If tho agreement made last week is observed by tho senate, Wednesday will close the discussion of the tiuau cial bill aud decide its fate in that body. As it is generally expected that the free coinage amendment will prevail, iuterest now centers in the result of the controversy over the National bank und 12 per cent bond features of the bill. The proceedings of the seuato after tlie liuaucial bill is out of the .way arc problematical. An effort will be made by tlie Republican senators to hold a caucus and a^ree upou a program, and jf this caucus is held, a determined effort will be made to cause it to place the elections bill u^aiu in the van of party' measures and. force it through the senate with the aid of a cloture~~fruTe7~""SbTouId Uiio uttompt to uuoui'o ettueua t*utHHi ua Hurley of Mas"CTn h a s a bill to c h a n g e t h e season lor h u n t i n g deer, iuul t-o~KhurUjii th^-time l o r killing r f t e m i n tiro u p p e r peiiTTisuhr.

CHATOR L The sun has "dropped down,* and the "day is dead." The silence and the calm of coming nighfe are over everything. The shadowy twilight lies softly on sleeping flowers and swaying boughs, onqtipet fountains—the marble basins of wliidi gleam Huow-white in the uncertain light—<m the glimpse of the distant ocean seen through the giant elms. A floating mist hangs in the still warm air, making heaven and earth mingle in one sweet confusion. The ivy creeping up the ancient walla of th_e castle is'rust ling and whispering as the evening breeze sweeps over it. High up the tendril* climb, past mullioncd windows and quaint devices,* until they reach even to the old tower, and twine lovingly round it,"'and push through the lone apertures in the masonry of the walls oi'the haunted chamber. It is here that the shadows cast their heaviest gloom. All this comer of the old towtrr is ]^T«]>peit-4ft darkness, as _fchp_ugh to obscure the scene- of terrible crimes of past centuries. Ghosts of (lead-nnd-gone lords and ladies seem to prer out mysteriously from the openings of this quaint chamber, wherein no servant, male or female, of the castle has ever yet been kfi0Wfl-fe»-set-4ooW 4 t i » -fail-.«£.Uiro horrors to them, and replete with legends of by-gone days and grow some Bights ghastly : enough to make the Btoutest heart quail. In the days or the Stuarts an old earl had hanged himself in that room, rather than face the world with dishonor attached to his name; and earlier still a beauteous* dame, fair but frail, had been incarcerated there, and slowly starved to death, by her relentless lord. There was even in the last century a baronet—the earldom has been lost to the Dynccourts during the Cornmonwealthj- who haying quarreled with his friend over a reigning belle, had smitten him across the cheek with his glove, and then challenged him to mortal combat. The duel had been fought in the luckless chamber, ami had only ended'with the death.of both combatants; the blood stainy upon the flooring were largo and deep, and to this day' the boards bear silent witness to the languinary character of that secret t i t t Just now, Btfind in,sr outside the castle rn the warmth and stillness of the dying daylight, one can hardly think of by-gone horrors, or aught that is saU and sinful. "There is an air of bustle and expectancy vrithin-doors that betokens coming* giiestn; the servants are moving to and t'ro noiselessly but busily, and now and fehWi the stately housekeeper passes froaa room to room uttering commands and injunctions to the maids as she goes. No less occupied and anxious is the butler, as ho surveys tho work of the footmen. It is so long Binee tho. old place has had a resident master, and so much longer still since "^guests nave been invited to it. that the household are more than ordinarily excited atHie-jghango now about to take place. - \ ^ . • . . . . „ Sir Adrian Dyn^emirt, after a prolonged tour on the Continent- and lingering visits to the East, "lTns_at last tome home with the avowed intentkm of becoming astaid country gentleman,"" and of settling down to the cultivation of turnips, tho breeding of prize oxen, and the determination to be the M. I-V XI. when old Lord- Dartree shall have fulfilled his declared intention of retiring in his favor, lie is a tall voung man, lithe and active. His skin, though naturally fair, is bronzed by foreign travel. 'His hair is a light brown, cut very closo to his head. Ilrs eyes are large, clear, and honest, and of a peculiar ^iark violet; they are beautiful eves, winning and'sweet, and steady in their glance. His mouth, shaded by a drooping fair mustache, is large and firm, yet very prone to laughter. It is quite the end of the London aea- Bon, and Sir Adrian has hurried down from town to give directions for the reception of some people whom he had invited to stay with liim dttt4ag—the slaughter of the partridges. Kow all is complete, and the last train (rom London being duo half an hour ago Sir Adr'an is standing on the steps or his hall-door anxiously awaiting'some of his guests. There is ewm a touch of genuine impatience in his manner, which could hardly bo attributed to the ordinarv longing of a young man to see a few f>i hia friends. Sir Adrian's anxiety is -open and undisguised, and there is a little frown upon his brow. PresentIv his face brightens as he hears the roll of carriage-wheels. When the carriage turns the corner of the drive, and tna horsfea are pulled tip at the hall door, Sir Adrian sees a fair faee-at the window that puts to flight all the feais he has been harboring for the last half hour. "You have come?" he says delightedly, running down the steps and opening toe carriage door himself. "I am so glad! I began to think tho train ran away from you, or that the horses had bolted." "Such a journey as it has been]" exclaims a voice hot belonging to the face that had looked from the carriage at Sir Adrian. "It. has been tiresome to the last degree. I really dou't know when I felt so fatigued!" A little wMnan, small and fair, step3 languidly to the ground as she says this, and glances .pathetically at her host. She is beautifully "got up," both in •dress and complexion, and at a first glance appears almost girlish. Laying her hand in Sir Adrian's she let ifrest there, as thqugh glad to be at her jour-' nejrs end, conveying at the same time by a gentle pressure of her taper lingers the fact that she is even more glad that the end of her journe^has brought her to him. She looks up .at him with her red lids drooping iis if tired, and with a bewildered expression-in her pretty blue eyes that adds to the charm ofiier face. Tit's an awful distance from town!" as It bpologizinjt lor the spot on which his grand old (Saetle has been built. "And it was more than good of you to come to me. 1 can only try to make up to you for the discomfort you have experienced to-day by throwing all possible chances of amusement in your way whilbt you stay here." By this time wbe had withdrawn her hand, and so tie is free to go up to his other guest and bid her welcome. Ilu says nothing to her strange to say, but it is his hand that seeks to retain hers this time, and it is his eyes thai look longingly into the face before him. "You ure tired, tooV" he says at length. "Come into the house and rest awhile before dinner. You will like to go to your room at once, perhaps?" he adds, turning to his two visitors. "Thank you—yes, If you will have our tea sent nj>-i4.aira," replies Mrs. Talbot plaintively, "it will be such a comfort!" she always speaks in a somewhat pouting tone, and with heavy emphasis. "Tea—nonsense!" responds Sir Adrian. "There's nothing like champagne as a pick-me-up. I'll send you tea also; but, take my advice, and try the champagne." "OU, thank you, I shall so much prefer my tea!" ilrs- Talbot declares- with a graceful little shrug of her shoulders, at which her friend Miss JUelniaine laucrhs aloud. UI accept your advice, Sir Adrian," she says, casting a mischievous glance at him from under her long lashes. "And—yes, Dora will take champagne too—when it comes." "Naughty pirl!" exclaims Mrs. Talbot. with a little flickeringg smile. Dora -Tulbot-iwildain smiles, having learned by experience that her delicate fare looks prettier in repose. "Come, then, Sir Adrian," she adds, "let us enter your enchanted castle." The servants by this-t4rne have taken in all their luggage—that is, as much as they have been able to bring in the carriage; and now the two ladies walk up to the steps and enter the hall, their host beside.theux Mrs. Tiilbot, who has recovered her spirits a little, is chattering gaylv, and monopolizing Sir Adrian to the bast of her anility, whilst Miss Delmaine is strangely "silent, and seems lost in a kind'of" pleased wonder as she gazes upon all her charming surroundings. The last rays of litrlit are streaming in through the stained-glass windows, '..rendering the old hall full-of mysterious beauty. The grim warriors iti their, coats of .mail seem, to the entranced of Florence Delmaine. to be makto a Ylrulent Fever, and his widow, npon whom a handtwmH jointure bad been settled, when the funeral and tha neceasary law worries hid come to an end, had intimated to her young cousin that she intended to travel for a year upon the Continent, and that she would bti glad, that is—with an elaborate sigh —sue would be a degree less miserable, if she, Florence would accompany her. Thi,s delighted .Florence. .She was wearied with attendance on the sick, having done most of the nursing of thb lion. George, while his wife lamented and slept; ami, beside, she was still Bore at heart fur the loss of her father. The years abroad passed* swiftly; the end of it brought them to Paris once more, where, feeling that her time of mourning might be decently terminated, Mrs. Talbot had discard^ her somber robes and put hersc-lf into the hands of the most fashionable dressmaker phe could lind. Florence, too, discarded mourn ing for the tiret time, although her father nad been almost two vears Jii his quiet grave amongst the Hills; and, with her cousin, who wus now indeed her only friend, if slightly uncongenialvdecided to return to London forthwith. It was early iu May, and, with a sensation of extreme and most natural pleasure, the girl looked forward to a lew months passed amongst the best of those whom she had learned under her cousin's auspices to regard as i "society." -4 Dora Talbot herself was not by any ! means dead to the thought that it would bo to her advant ige to Introduce into society a girl well-born and possessed of an almost fabulous fortune. Stray crumbs must surely fa.«4 to her share iu a connection of this kind, »nd such crumbs she was prepared to gather with a thankful heart. But unhappily she set her affection upon Sir Adrian Dvnecourt, with his grand old castle and his princelv rentroll— a "crumb" the magnitude and worth of which she was not slow to appreciate. At llrst she had not deemed •.it possible that Florence would seriously regard a mere baronet as a suitor, when her unbounded wealth would almost entitle her to a duke-.Jktt "lov-e-," as she discovered later, to her discomfiture, will always "iind the "way."

"We have no ghor(t here, I am sorry to say," answers Sir Adrian, laughing. "For the first time I feel distressed and ashamed that it should be so. We can only boast a, haunted' chamber; but there are certain legends about it, I am proud to say, the' b;iro narration of which would' make even tho stoutest quail." - ' "Good gracious—ho.w distinctly unpleasant!" exclaims Mrs. Tulbot.' wit :i a nervous and very effective shudder.

"Desist, I pray \onln "Are you afraid, Dora?" asks "Florence merrily. "Then keep close to me. 1 can defy all evil spirits, I have spells -and charms." * ' ..-- "You have indeed!" puts in Sir Adrian, in a tone so low that only she can hear it. "And. knowing this, you should be merciful." Though she cannot hear what ho— says, yet Mrs. Talbot can see he is addressing Florence, and marks with some uneasiness the glance that passe3 from his eyes to hers. Breaking quickly into the conversation, she says timidly, laying her hand on her host's arm— "This shocking room you speak of will not be near mine?" " ^ "In -another wing altogether, -Sir Adrian replica reassuringly. "Indeed it is so far from this part of* the castle that one might be safely incarcerated thero>aud slowly starve to death without any one of "the household being a bit wiser. It is in the north wing in the old tower, a portion of the building that has not been in use for over fifty years." "I breathe again," says Dora Talbot affectedly. "I shall traverse every inch of that old tower—haunted room und all—before I am a week older," declares Florence defiantly. After which she smiles at Adrian again, and follows the maid | up the broad staircase to her roo»fc ' { l]y the end of the week many other : visitors had been made welcome at tho ] castle; but none perhaps gave so much ! pleasure to the young baronet as Mrs. Talbot and her cousin. ! Miss Delmaiiie, the only daughter : and heiress of an I'nlian'nabob, had • taken l*ondon by storm this past sea- ! son; and not only the modern lJahylon, i but the henrfrof "Adrian Dvnecourt as , well. She had'come home "to England on tine death of her father, about two years ago; and, having no nearer relatives alive, had been kindly received by her cousin, the Hon. Mrs. Talbot, : who was then li\ ing with her husband in a pretty house in May fair. Six months after Florence Delmaine'a arrival, George Talbot had succumbed that might lead to mutual devotion. Yet, strong in the belief of her own Icharins. Mrs!-Talbot accepted the invitation given by Sir Adrian, and at the close :\f the season she and Florence Delmn'rie lind themselves the lirat'of a batch of guests come to spend a month or two at the old castlo at Dvnecourt. Mrs. Talbot is still yor •)«.'. and. in her style, very pretty; her eu>s are languishing and blue as gentian* her hair a soft nut-brown; her lips perhaps aro not altogether faultless, being too lino and too closely drawn, but then her mouth is small. She looks considerable younger than she really is, and does'not forget to make the most of thin comfortable fact. Indeed, to a casual observer, her cousin louks scarcely her junior. Miss Delmainp is Hll. Cruder, po«°.: more or less, while Mrs. Talliot is prettily rounded, p'ii'f in every point, and nervously ambitious of winning the regard of the, male sex. * During the jxist week private theatricals have been suggested.

A terrible mine explosion occurred at the Mammoth mine of tho H. C. Frick coke company ut Mammoth. Pa., Tuesday morning. About 125 miners were at work in the ill-fated mine at the time of the explosion; one hundred and seven bodies have been taken out and it is estimated that at least seventeen more victims are still iu the pit. After -the explosion the uews of the awful fate of the scores'of miners at work in the shaft spread rapidly among the mines and the miners' homes. Couriers carried the dreadful news hither and thither,' aud families were dashed from the coinforts of home into the depths of grief and despair. The scenes at these miners' cottages can ' readily be imagined by those who have known grief in its more formidable forms, but no artist's pen can correctly picture it. Within an incredible short"'time the entrance to the shaft swarmed with an eager anxious crowd ol' men, womeu and children, some of whom could only with great difficulty be kept at a safe distance. As the bodies of the victims, mangled by the terrible force of the explosion or burned almost out of human semblance, were brought up from the yawning depths, tLe crowd of watchers pushed forward to the pit mouth for one glimpse of recognition. Hearts«of wives and mothers stood still in the four that loved ones might be among the dead. Tho more disinterested1 ones quailed before the scene. Tears coursiM down bronzed Hud bearded cheeks and were dashed uwayby brawiiy*hiuuls that hail swung the pick lor many years.- The rescuing party proceeded witii their grini tusk, aud the crowd of watchers silently looked on.

My dislike to Mr. Dvnecourt arises from very dillerent feelings. lie ia distasteful to me in many ways; but, as I am undesirous that my manner should five occasion for surmises such as you ave just mentioned to me, I will give fcim an opportunity of reciting his part to me, alone, as soon as ever he •wishes." "I think yon are rijjht, dearest," responds Mrs. Talbot sweetly. She is a *ifttl« afraid of her cousin, but still mainttai ins heripotsiit ion bbravell y. "It iis always a mark of folly to defy public opinion. Do not wait for him to ask Sou again to go through your play with im alone, but tell mm yourself tomorrow that you will meet him for that purpose in the north gallery some time during the day." "Very well," savs Florence; but her face still betrays dislike aud disinclination to the (!Qiu-se recommended. "And. Dora, I don't think I want my hair brushed any more, thanks; my head is aching so dreadfully." This is a hint that she will be glad of Mrs. Talbot's speedy departure; and, that lady taking that hint, Florence is left to her own thoughts, e next morning, directly after breakfast, she finds an opportunity to tell Mr. Dynecourt that sue will givo him half an hour in the north gallery to try over his part with her, as she considers it will be better, and mord conducive to the smoothness of the piece, to learn any little mannerism that may belong to either of them. To this speech Dynecourt makes a suitable reply, and'names n particular tiour for them to meet. Miss Delmaine, having given a grave assent to this arrangement, moves away, a3 though £lad to bo rid of her companion. A few minutes afterward Dynecourt, meeting Mrs. Talbot in the hall, gives her an expressiye glance, and tolls her in a low voice that he considers himself deeply in her debt. CHAPTER I I I . "You are late," savs Arthur Dyneeourt in a low tone. There is no anger in it; there Is indeed only a desire to ehow how tedious have been the moments spent apart from her. "Have you brought your book, or do you mean to go through your part without it?" FlorencffwasR,'*, disdaining to notice hi9 words, or to betray interest in anything except the business that has brought them together. "I know my part by heart," he reaponds, in a strange voice. "Then b^in," she commands somewhat imperiously; the very insolence of her air only gives an additional touch to her I extreme beauty and iires hi3 ardor. "You desire me to begin?" he asks unsteadily. • "If yoit wish it." "Do you wish it?" . "I desire nothing more intensely than to get this rehearsal over," she replies —4mputientlv_. _ _ .- "' "You lafcano palhsTrKfeed tolnde your scorn of me," says Dyuecourt bitterly. "I regret it, if I have at any time . treated youwith incivility," returns "TTojrence.witharertpri evert miri wifeh-uwcreasingcoldneHS. "Yet I must-always think thatrfor whatoverhas happened," you have only yourself to•"blame. "Is it a crime to love you?" he demands boldly. ~ ... "Sir,"she exclaims indignantly, jmd raising her beautiful eyes to his for a. moment, "I must request you will" never speak to me of love. There is neither sympathy nor common friend- ' lineBS betweon us. You are well aware with what sentiments I regard you." "But, why am I alone to be treated with contempt?" he asks, with sudden passion. "All other men, of your acquaintance are graciously -received by you, are met wflh smiles' and kindly words. Upon mo alone your eyes rest, —wfcea4hey deign to glance in lay direction, with marked disfavor. Air the world can see it. I am signaled out from the others as one to be alighted ,*nd spurned." ----- " "You forget yourself," says Florence contemptuously. ."[ have niet you kere to-day to rehearse our parts for next Tuesday evening, not to- listen* to any insolent words you may .wish to address to me. Let us begin"—opening her —book—HI you know your part, go on." "I know my part only too well; it ia to worship you madly, hopelessly. Your very crueltv only serves to heighten my passion. Florence, hear me!" "I will not," she says, h£f eyes flashing. She waves him back from her.as he endeavors to take her hand. "Is it cot enough that I have been persecuted by your attentions—attentions mos# hateful to.me—for the past year, but yoti must now obtrude them upon me here? You compel me to tell you in t)Ja4n words what' my manner must have shown you oUy too clearly—that ?ou are distasteful to me in, every way, hat your very-presence troubles me, that your touch is abhorrent to me!" - "An," ho says, stepping..back as she hurls these wo'rds at uTm, and regarding her with a face distorted by-paslion, "if I were the master here, instead of the poor cousin—if I were Sir Adrian—your treatment of me would be very differont!" At the mentioa'of Sir Adrian's nama the color difs out of her fare and she grows deadly pale. Her lips quiver, but her eyes dp not droop. "I do not understand you," she says proudly. "Then you shall," responds Dyne- Cburt. "lV) you think I am blind, that I can not see how you have given your proud heart to my'cousin, that he has conquered where uth-tir mvn have failed; that, even btM^rc ^ clared any love far yon, ipite, of your pride, given . lection to " me he has de« you have, in all your af- "You Insult me," erica Florence with quivering lips. She looks faint, and it trembling visibly. If this man haa read her heart aright, may not all guests have read it too? May not even Adrian himself have discovered her secret passion, and perhaps despised her for it, as being unwomanly? "And more,1* goes ou Dynecourt, exulting in the turture he can see he is iijflk'tjng; "though you tbrust from you an honorable love for one that lives only in your imagination, I will tell you that Sir Adrian has other views, other intentions. I have reason to know that, when he marries, the name of bis bride will not be Florence Delmaine.* "Leave me, sir," cries Florence, rousing herself from b«T momentary weakness, and speaking with all her old fire, "and never presuiuo to address me again. Gol"- She points with extended hand to the door at the lowep end of the gallery. So standing, with her eyes strangely bright, and her perfect figure drawn up to its fullest height, she looks superb in her disdainful beauty. Dynecourt, losing his self-possession as lie gazes upon her, {suddenly flings himself at her feet and cutunea her dress in hishantls to detain her. "Have pity on me," he cries imploringly; "it is my unhappy love for you that has driven me to speak thusl Why is Adrian to have all, and I nothing'? He has title, lands, position—above and beyond everything, the priceless treiuyiru of your love, whilst I am bankrupt iii all! Show mo some mercy— some kindness!" They are both so agitated that they fail to hear tho sound of approaching footsteps. "Release me, sir," cries Florence imperiously. "Nay; first answer me one question," entreats Dynecourt. "Do you love my cousin?" "I earn nothing for Sir Adrian!" replies Florence distinctly, and in a some'what raised tone, lier self-pildo being touched to the quick. Two figures who have entered the gallery by the second door at the upper end of it, hearing these words uttered in an emphatic tone, start and glance at the tableau presented to their view lower down. They hesitate-, and, even • as they do so,, they can see Arthur Dynecourt seize Florence Delmaine's hand, and. apparently unrebuked, kiss it passionately. 1 Then I shall hope still," he says in a imv-bttt impresstye--voftterat-Avhiefa--the two who have just entered turn and beat a precipitate retreat, fearing that they may be seen. One- is Sir Adrian, the other Mrs. Talbot, "Dear me," stammers Donv, in pretty confusion, "who would have thought it? I was never so amazed in mv lite." Sir Adrian, who has turned very pale, and is looking greatly distressed, makes no reply, lie .is repeating -over and py.erji^iinJLQjiimsj^lf the, words lie has just heard, as though- unable and unwilling to compieheiui them. "I care nothing for Sir Adrian!" They strike like a Knell upon his ears—a deathknell to all Ms dearest hopes. And ttiat fellow on liis knees before her, kissing her hand, ami telling her he will still hope I II, ope for what?. Alas, he tells himself, he knows only too well—her love! "1 am so glad they have made it up," JDaragoea on, looking up sympathetically at Sir Adrian. "ifade it uu? I had no. idea they 5Pere more than ordinary and very new 'acquaintances."

I wonder you did not notice his devotion in town.*' "I noticed nothing," pays Sir Adrian, miserably; "or. if I did, it was only to form wrong impressions. I tirmly believe, seeing Miss Delmaine and Arthur togethetyhere. that she betraved nothing but a rooted dislike to him.'1 "Tlreyjtiad not been good friends of late," explains Dora hastily; "that we all could sec. And Florence is very peculiar, you know; she is quite the dearest girl in the world, and I adore her; but I will confess to you"—with another upward and bewitching glance from the charming blue eyes—"that she has her little tempers. Not very naughty ones, you know"—shaking her head archly—"but just enough to make one a bit afrai4-oi her at times; so I never ventured to ask her why she treatedx poor Arthur, who really is her*slave, BO . c r u e l l y . . ! ! \ "And you think now that—" Sir Adrian breaks off without finishing the sentence. "That sho lias forgiven him whatever offense, he committed? Yes. after what "we have just seen—quite a sentimental little .episode, was it not?—I can not help cnerishing the hope that all is again right between them. It could not have been a very grave quarrel, as Arthur is incapable 01 a rudeness; rmt then dearest Florence is so capricious!" "Ill-tempered and capricious!" Can the girl he IOVJPS so ardently be guilty of these faults? It srems incredible to Sir Adrian, as he remembers her snnnt smile and gentle manner, l^utthen, is it not her dearest friend who is speaking of her—tender-hearted little Dora -Talbot, who seems,to., think well of tjvery. one, ,and who murmurs such pretty speeches even about Arthur,- who, if the truth be told,'is not exactly "dear" in the sight of Sir Adrian. "You think there is. or was. an engagement 'between. Arthur and Miss Delmaine?" ho begins, with his eyes tixed upon the ground. "C think nothing, yon silly man," savs the widow playfully, "mitil 1 am told it. But I am glad Florence is 3UC3 more friendly with poor Arthur; De k positively wrapped up in her. Now. has that interesting tableau we so nearly interrupted given you a distaste for all other pictures? Shall we try the smaller gallery?" "Just as you will."* "Of ronrse"—with a girlish laugh—"it would be imprudent to venture again into the one we have iust quitted. By this time, doubtless, they are quite reconciled— ami—" "Yes—yes." interrupts Sir Adrian hastily, trying in vaiu to blot out tlie picture she his raised before his eyet of Florence in her lover's arms. "What you have just told mo haa quite takes mo by surprise," he goes on nervoiisly. "I should never have guessed it from Miss Delmaine s manner; it quitu misled me." "Well, between you and me," says Dora, raising herself oil tiptoe, as though to wLisper in his ear, and BO coming very close to him, "I am afraid my dearest Florence i* a little Blyl Yes, really; vou wouldn't think it, would you? The dear girl has such a sweet ingenuous face- quite the loveliest face on earth, 1 think, though some pronounce it too cold, lint she is very self-contained; and to-duy, you see, she has given you a" insight into this slight fault in her character." "She has indeed," agrees Sir Adrian, with a smothered groan. "Well" — triumphanUy — "and yet, here we find her granting him a private audience, when she believed we were all safely out of the way; and in the north gallery too, which, a* u rule, is deserted." > "She didn't know WP were thinking of driving to tho hills," says Sir Adrian, making u feeble effort to rind a flaw in his coippanff>n"s statement. "Oh, yes, she did!" declares the widow lightly. "I told her myself, about two hours ago, that I intended asking you to make a party to go there, as I dote on lovely scenery; and 1 duro say" —coquettishly — "she knew — I mean thought—you' would not refuse so small a request of mine. But for' poor Lady FitzAlnionV's headache we should be there TIOW." "It is true," admits Sir Adrian, feeling that the last straw has descended. "And now that I think of it," tita widow goes ou, even nioro vivaciously, the reason she assigned for not coming with us must have ueen a feigned one. Ah, slvboots that sherisr laughs Mrs. Talbot merrily. "Of course, she wanted the course dear to have an explanation with Arthur. Well, alter all, that was only natural. But sho might have trusted me, whom she knows to be her true friend." lU-tompered—capricious—sly! " And all these faults are attributed* to Florence by "her true friend!" A quotation assigned to Marechal Yillars when taking leave of Louis XIV. occurs to him —"Defend me from my friends." The words return to him persistently; but then he looks down ou Dora Talftot, and stares straight into her liquid blue ..eyes, so amnireutly guiloleas and pure, ami tells himself that ho wrongs Her. Yes, it is a pity Florence has not put greater.faith in this kind little woman, a pity for all of them, as then many heart-breaks might have been prevented. CHAPTEK. IV.

The Barings, th e great Europea n financiers have gone to the wall, and our own mone y center s have been quiverin g like leaves in a gale. But what of it? Doe s it make muc h difference if th e whole bottom falls out of Wall street and all \he people and all the stocks and all the enterpris e in tha t financia l cesspool go where McGin - ty is popularl y supposed to be? So far as Wall street itself is concerned , the world would lose very little if the whole thin g was blotted ou t But while the peopl e want nothin g of Wall street , Wall Btreet impudentl y connect s itself BO intimatel y with th e public welfare tha t any misha p there , is felt - everywhere. The business of thi s black hole is to gamble and to traffic in people' s money . Fo r thirt y years the people in Wall street have been engaged in lassoing the governmen t and when the y caugh t it, compelle d it to mar k out a financial policy tha t would benefit Wall street ; and when it had succeede d in gettin g th e government' s nose down upon its financial grindston e it went on placidl y trafficking in the cifculat - ing mediu m of th e country ; and whenever it gets a good propor - tion o l our mone y in "stock" or is compelle d to send away large siims of. it to pay its gamblin g debts, it leaves~th e countr y short of mone y and ther e is serious trou - ble. No countr y has suffered a greater outrag e and curse tha n thi s countr y has suffered from Wall stree t and its shameles s methods . I t is negligence on the par t of any government , to call it by no worse name , to permi t n hord e of gamblers to interfer e with our money , Mone y is the stream in which the' business of the peopl e is floated, and is in no prope r s6nse an article of traffic as Wall street makes it.—Western Rural .

A Witty AiiMWer Brought Success. A young newspaper man who last spring found himself in Whitman County, Washington, 500 miles, from his base of supplies and "broke" hired out to a farmer, tie was set to ploughing with a pair of horses, but. both man and beasts being new to the business, the furrows looked as if they were tho result of an earthauake rather than of design, so crooked and zigzag were they. At the close of the day the farmer rather testily criticised the job. The newspaper .jan felt that his doom was sealed, but" mustered courage to reply* " I know the rows are rather crooked, but the sun was exceed ngly hot to-day, and it warped them.1' The answer turned away the farmer's wrath, and, instead of being discharged, the newcomer was given a much easier and pleasanter job, and is now the farmer's son-in-law. Not So Gonrrou* a* He Seemed. A citizen of Jacksonville, Fla., deposited .\000 oranges in a public place la«t week and invited passersby to help themselves to the fruit, only stipulating that tho eater should quarter the oranges and place the peel in a barrel of alcohol standing near by» About 4,000 oranges " were thus disposed of, to tho satisfaction of tho donor, who will ship the peelings to England to bo used for medicaL purposes, h waa a novel expedient for getting a good job done without exoonse. men earning the scanty wages paid to English employes, until it was whispered to him that tho gowns had been borrowed or purchased from a second-hand clothes shou or obtained through the Exchange Mart ipom the lady's maid of some wealthy or noble lady."

The rapidity with which the German Emperor talks when ho is delivering a speech has been determined by Dr. EngeL. who is one of the chief reporters in tho Reichstag, and who has stenographed tbe Emperor's speeches vory often. According to the doctor ho speaks very, rapidly indeed— about,two hundred and seventyfive syllables in each minute, and occasionally tilt; rutu at which he talki is even threo hundred syllables in a minuu... The Metal Knuckle Fad* The braso-knuckle ring", is the newest delight of the delightful young man who feels that ho must eo armed, you know, but dannot condescend to anything quite so low as a pistol or a knife.

If the dally papers would let thorn alone lionizing would soon become unpopular. MODERN medicine is developing into a grand bacillus hunt. All a doctor has to do in these days to make himself famous is to announce that lie has discovered the bacillus of some wollknown and dreaded disease. It is not necessary for him to demonstrate by actual experiment his ability to destroy the deadly parasite. A Spacious theory ia quite sufficient. And how enterprising and numerous the bacilli are! AGRICULTURAL depression in this country began about 1882-3. This, rather curiously, is, just about the time that the exclusion of American pork from Germany and France bepan to be felt. Since then the American home market has been glutted with agricultural products. To enlarge our markets is practical statesmanship, and if it can be done in no other way, we might suspend all relations, commercial or diplomatic^ with countries that thtisdiscriminate against us. DESPITE the efforts and strict guardianship of the possessor to keep to himself the «ecrets of his knowledge and skill, very few have been able to do %o for any considerable length of time, And one & ay he awakes to-find that his secret is no longer his own,: that it has been stolen from and ia Seing"made use of by others. There" are but few exceptions to this rule, perhaps the most notable of which is the secret process, held by the government, of making Russian Iron, liut there are few instances where the .seLCret. isso cl Q6e lyguarded aa hi this case, where, when a man onco enters the works, it i3 said, he never again comes out, and guards are placed out- •ide to prevent any possibility of the •eoret being divulged by those insida communicating with the outside world. YOUNG people of both sexes should early be taught the use of money, and to riehtly know its value they should be given ways of earning it, to spend, within reasonable limits, as they choose. Much of the work which even little children do in the shape of chores around the house ought to be paid for, aa p*»rhnp« a hotter way of Doubtless the majority of persons think that the custom of a bridegroom being attended at his marriage by a frieud or relative, who is popularly termed his "beat mini," is of modern origin. Nevertheless, it is of great antiquity, having\beoii practiced by the early Saxons. In those days marriages were iuvariably celebrated at the house of the groom. The day preceding such an important event was spent in feasting aud preparing for the approaching ceremony, all of the bridegroom's friends and relatives taking part in the festivities. Next came the groom's company, mounted.on horseback and armed from head to foot. They proceeded in great state, in regular order of family procedure, under the command of an individual called the "forwistaman," or "foremost man," to receive and conduct the bride in safety to the house uf her future husband. Tho blushing maiden was. attended by dor guardian and other male relatives, lod by a stately matron, who bore- the name -of "brideswonjan," and followed by a goodly array of young damsels, who were known as "bridesmaids.1' It was from this ceremony, therefore, that we of the present day derived our custom of having at weddings a "best ! man," the Saxon "foremost man" of ten centuries ago being" the prototype of that almost indispensable personage From tho same source also sprang those important female attendants called '-bridesmaids/' BLItlKl) IN TWO IMAClis. " '.'he true burial place of Columbus has been a mooted point for many years, and it would seem that tho remains of that illustrious discoverer rest in two places—San Domingo and Genoa. However, the truth of this statement has never been satisfactorily proven, but in the case of the noted (Jen. Wayne, the hero of Stony Point — "Mad Anthony," us he was popiw Tarly termed—there is not the slightest doubt that one portion of his body was interred at the place where ho died and the other in his nntive county. His burial .placo wiu at Fort «ive cov^rsesr with a great variety of vianda. In Kntfluud, tilown to the days of "(jood Queen ljess,11 it was the custom j to hospitably entertain all strangers and visitors at any hour of the day witj^ free faro—bread, boef and beer. Thin waa observed ut every table Jn the laud, from that of the free-holder to tho baron/jj and abbey's. At u later day the upper classes became more luxurious in their tasted and habits. As a consequenco tho hours for meals were very much modified and have remainod so until this day. Breakfu-st ia now imually takeu between 9 and 10 a. m., and tho present usage for dinner among" the weulthior classes is from <i to 8 p. m. A luncheon -a rather substantial meal, by ihe way, consisting of cold game, roast beef and tho like— is often induljjed in between breHkfaet aud dinner. The meal denominated supper in this country is a comparatively unknown quantity in England, ! that known as tea forming in reality a i part of dinner. Jn France and Italy the U9ual dinner hour is 4 or o p, in., a custom that has remained unchanged for hundreds of years. In (Jermany an early dinner and supper time prevails to u great extent* 1 o'clock beiiuj the usual hour for dinner. Among court circles, howover, o or '1 o'clock is the fashionable hour. It is no uncommon thing for the inhabitants of Vienna to eat five meals a day, these consisting of breakfast, lunch, dinner, tea and supper. A Girl from Boston.

It is very demoralizing to beg, and the child tfcat is encouraged or even allowed to get its spending money in this way, Is surely laying up a poor foundation for after life. On the farm the means for earning money should as much as possible be based on farm operations, When the boys see in their own pockets tome of the money made by farming, they will take more interest in their, daily work. MOST people have wildly exaggerated ideas about the inhospitable climate and soil of Siberia. It has a hard name because Russian despotism has made the place of exile for political or other prisoner**. The northern parts, where the mines are located, are indeed bleak and desolate enough, and the despotic cruelties enacted there make life even more dreary than nature has done. But Siberia is % very large country, and its southern parts are fertile, have good climate, and are as well watered as most parts of central Asia are. If tho Russian government were what it ought lobe, instead of beinsr a place, of exile wb^ridbe recognized a3 a firstrate countrytoxemlgrate to.

A medical fr end of the family, recognising the fact 4t it would be a very difficult and costly task to transport the remains in trial condition, determined as far as possible to remove the petrified flesh from the bones, and this was accordijtlgly done. The bones were then carefully packed up and delivered to the son, who was kept in ignoranco of the operation, and he conveyed the box containing the precious portions ^ o coun*- It Was All the Eame to Her.

Taken altogether, however, the customs -of ; tho present day differ but slightly from those in vogue thousands of years ago.

A drummer for a Buffalo house had observed fiat he ineaut to buy an accident iuaurance policy, but forgot it when the agent for a Wisconsin windmill replied: "I had a little experience that way about ten years ago, and since I got well I prefer to travel on my shape, watched over more or less by Providence." Of cpurso we all wanted to hear the particulars, and he kindly continued: "It was on the Illinois Central. I got an accident policy in Chicago, and started out fetHinir that 1 had done the correct tiling.

However, there was a mistake in the date of the ^policy, and I got no benefit, and I want '•hothinganore to do with such insurance.

A grave attack has been made on the equinoctial storm in the New York Tribune, which insists thatscien. titic records of at least a score of years are Treceasnrv to establish it as a fact. Nevertheless,1 the Yankee farmers know, if noe^hers do, that there is such tv thing, and they will stick to it. "Senex," writing to the skeptical Tribune recites the record of Paul's voyage in the Mediterurnean. ns iriven in the Acts of the Apostles. His sHipwrecki was due to the equinoctial Btorm. When "sailin LT was now dangerous, because that the fast WHH now aleacty pa'st, it after the day of atonement, Sept. 10, and they were'very near the autumnal equinox, and anticipated a great storm." Paul's admonition was disregarded: instead of putting MJUHIGAN LEGISLATURE. The house in committee of tho whole ha* agreed to the bill approprUitfDg $5,000 to the state pioneer society. This measure i» to enable the society to continue, as cm been customary, its annual volumes «f pioneer records, and other historiculf it utters.

Tne mutter is disposed of by the constitution in this way: "The iegLslature shall not uuthorize any lottery; nor permit the sale of lottery tickets." Chairman Doran of the senate flbimuitteo on university says that the committee will probably report iu favor of the university appropriation bill, fixing the amount for the next two years at abu ut f'^00, 000. The committee docs not look with favor upon the idea of action simultaneously upon tho proposition to increase the state VmUiTSity tax from one-twentieth of u mill to oneeighth. That is considered quite a serious proposition, as it means an increase iu university revenues of about $(><),000 a year.

We must be governed somewhat by tho appropriations made by other stales, or proposed." It is expected that about two weeks will be occupied in surveying the field and estimating tho amount needed, and that President Palmer will then appear at Lausine and explain the'why and wherefore. AT least $100,000 will he asked, it is thought. Mr. Holtou of Wayne has introduced a resolution in,the house lor an investigation of the affairs of the state prison at Jackson. The resolution wasjidopted without a word of debate. It authorizes the committeo to send for persons aud papers and'eonfers upon them all the extensive powers of legislative committees. The investigation, it is learned by enquiry of representatives, ih probubly aimed at tho Board of Tilspee-tont and Kx-Cov. Luce. Tim charges are~said to be that the salary of Warden Hatch, though set, down in the prison laws at 11,500, was increased toT^000 a year by another statute -which says that 'salaries may be increased by the governor and iuspectors acting together. % It is further said that tho salaries of prison officials, deputies, clerks, etc., were similiarly increased, and the Jackson Patriot r;;ade charges regarding the expense of for t he prison. iThe house t*>ok a short recess on I'Yiday ponding action by tho senate on tho, matter of adjo urn ment which Senator Taylor hdd "hung up by the gills" shrewdly enough Thursday, and many members of tho tower house SUmmed into tho senate" chamber to see what would bo done to get the ^solution down to earth again.

"There is a singular race of people in South -.Carolina called the Redbones," Baid Senator Wade Hampton the other day. "Their origin is unknown. They resemble in appearance the gypsy, but in complexion they are red. They have accumulated considerable property and are industrious and peaceable. "They live in small settlements at the foot of the mountains and associate with none but their own race* They are proud and high-spirited people. ,-£asto is very strong among" them. '' They enjoy life, visit the watering places and mountain resorts, but they eat and sleep by themselves; "When the war broke out several of them enlisted in the Hampton legion, and when the legion reached Virginia there was a great outcry among the Virginians and the troops fr«j|i other States because we had enlisted negroes. They did not resemble the African in the least, exoept in cases whero Africans had amalgamated with the Indians. Their intermixture, which is common in the Carolinae, produces marvelous* results. ' 'It takes the kink out of the hair of the African, straightens his features and improves him in every way except in temper. These Afro- Indo people are devils when aroused, qpd as slaves they were hard to man' age. Ru4 to return. We soon convinced, .the .kickers. ._against_the .Redbones that they were all right, ancTTn the first Bull Kun battle they proved how well they could fight. All prejudice against them disappeared-" WHAT A MAN IS MADE OF. A Pinch of Thli, a Pinch of That, and a Yeasty Sort of Soul.

The southwestern plains abound in these dingy reptiles, und I had ample opportunity to judge of their character and performances, both pf which fall below report. The rattlesnake h.is a short. Hat. wide head. Besides the red and forked tongue, of which he makes tlisj play when bullied, his mouth is upholstered with two fang* which aro in ] tho upper jaw, aTrrl correspond iu posi- < tiou to; the eye-teeth of mankind. These fangs in a serpent of common size are about tlirce-littlis of an inch long and htive a slight curve like a rimiiter and liouk inward. They are white iu color, uf the diameter of a needle and hollow from root to point. Their root or seat is iu a sac containing the poison, which is loosened and tlows through the tube-like fang as a result of the muscular exertion of striking. It docs not ili>\v, but spurts, and two tiny • jets of poison intended lor the victim distill into the air every tinus the rattlesnake strikes ami misses. This last he does about four tiniWOut of live, for his snakesliip is as clumsy ami inaccurate as a woman with *t rock. I have seen nun miss a full grown merino sheep three times iu succession. Iu serpents as Lu alligators the upper, not. the lower, jaw is the one that moves t o ' o p e u the mouth. Tlie fangs, working on a sort of hinge, are closed like the blade of a knife when the mouth is closed and are pkii- •siTTtRfi for bLisiTvns-i by thn action 'of tnrowiuir back the upper jaw. The mere? fact of opening the jaw always discloses the fang^ without any separate effort on the part of the, serpent, and when the'mouth is closed again two fleshy envelopes, or scalibards, cover them from (twiug or receiving harm. This is nocussary, as a rattlesnake's poison. U\just as of. Mny 3 I was walking in tlie park of Vincenuos, with an vxv. [•*•>• tho birds.

TiiK terrible Dimondule murder of last week in culling out nmny comments from the press in regard to flic ijicrea.se of this crime in the state, and the lenient manner in which a murderer is dealt with. Canh'eld, the fiend who so brutally murdered little Nellie Grfffin, met with speedy justice by bein.Lj shut behind the prison bars within a short time after his crinle and confession, but no one would have complained luid he sufjt*red a more speedy justice and beenj sent to an eternal punishment at the end of a rope. THE 14th of February, is, or more correctly was, celebrated in England, Scotland, and in different parts of the continent, particularly Lorraine and Maine, in France, by a very peculiar nnd amusing custom. On the eve of St. Valentine, a number of young folk— maids and bachelors—would as- ^ semble together and inscribe upon little billets the names of an equal number of maids and bachelors of their acquaintance, throw the whole into a receptacle of some sort, and then draw them lotterywise— care of course, being taken that each should draw one of the opposite sex.

Arthur" Dynecourt, who has arcnrapanied her to the footlights, and. who joins in her triumph, picks up the bouquet and presents it to her. As he does so the audience again becomes aware that she receives it tj«m him in a spirit that suggests detestation of the one that hands it, and that her smile withers as ahe does so, uml her great eves loso their happy light of a moment before. Sir Adrian sees all this too, but ]Wrsuades himself that she is now action? another part—the part shown him by Mrs. Talbot. His eyes are blinded "by jealousy; he cati not see the purity and truth reflected in hers; he misconstrues the pained expression that of late kua saddened her face. For the last few days, ever since her momentous interview with Arthur l)yuecourt in the gallery, she has been timid and reserved with Sir Adrian, and has endeavored to avoid his society. 8he is oppressed with the thought that he has read her secret love for him and seeks, by an assumed coldness of demeanor and a studied avoidance of him, to induce him to believe himself mistaken. But Sir Adrian is only rendered more miseaable by this avoidanre, in the thought that probably Mrs. Talbot has told Florence of his discovery of her attachment to Arthur, and that she dreads his taxing her with her duplicity, and so makes strenuous efforts to keep herself apart from him. They have already drifted uo far apart that to-night, when the play has come to an end, and'Florence hau"retired from the dressing-room, Sir Adrian does not dream of approaching her to offer the congratulations on h&r success that he would havo alioweied upon her in a happier hour. Florence, feelinff lonely and de- Jwessed, having listlessly submitted to ler. maid's giiiaance ami changed her stage gown for a pale blue ball-dress of satin and pearls—as dancing is tin succeed the earlier amusement of the evening—goes silently down-stairs, but, instead of pursuing her wav to the ballroom, where dancing has alueady commenced, she turns aside, and, entering a small, dimly lighted antechamber, sinks wearily . upon a -satin-covered lounge-. From a distance the sweet strains of a German waltz coines to her ears. There is deep sadness and melancholy in the music that attunes itself to her • cwn sorrowful rutiei'tiona. Presently the tears steal'(iown hoi* cheeks. Sho feels lonely and neglected, ami, burying her hciul in the cushions-of the lounge. Bobs aloud. She does not hear the hastv approach of footsteps until they stop close topside her, and a voice, thatfmakes her pulse throb madly suvs, in deep agitation— ''Florence—Miss Delmaine—what has happened? What has occurred Lo distress you1.-"' Sir Adgan intending over her. evidently in deep distress himself. As she starts", he places his arm round her and raises .her to a sitting posture; this ho does so gently that, as- she remembers all she has heard, and his cousin's as- Burance that he has almost pledged, himself to another, her tears How afresh. By a supremo effort, however, she controls herself, and says, in a faint voice— "I am very foolish; it was the heat, T suppose, or the nervousness of acting before so many strangers, that has uj>- ...set me. It is over now.—t beg vou wtH "TVell, let it rest*so," r stums Adrian, now greatly vouuded ' at her determined reserve, as he deems it. He calls to mind all Mra. Talbot had said about her slyneas, and feels disheartened. At least he has not deserved distrust at her hands. "Promise me," ho entreats at last. *'ihat, if ever yon aro in danger, you will aerept my help." "I promise," she* replies faintly. Then trying to rally her drooping spirits, she rout ii; lien, will) an attempt at a smile, "Tell my that you will accept mine should you be in any danger. KeDuuiiber, the mouse one1/rescued the lion!" —and she smiles ujjain, and glances a t him with a touch uf her old archness. "It is a bargain, And now, will you rest here awhile until you feel quite rubtored to cajnmess? "But you must not remain with me," Florence urges hurriedly. "Your guests are awaiting you. Probably"—with u faint smile-"your partner for this waltz is impatiently wondering what has become of Vou. "I think not.'' says Adrian, returning her smile. "Fortunately" I have no one's name on my card for this waltz. I say fortunately, because I think"— glancing at her tenderly—"[ hnvo been able to bring back the smiles to your face sooner tl'um would have been tho case had you been left here alone to brood over your trouble, whatever it may be." "There is no trouble." declares Florence, in a somewhat distressed fashion, turning her head restlessly to one side. "I wish you would disnos"sess yourself of that idea. And, (lo not stop here, they—everv one. will accuse you of discouVtesy if you absent yourself l'rom the ha If-room any lunger." a " T h m , eomfi with me," says Adrian. "See, this waltz is unly just 'beginning: give it tou)e." Carried u\vay by his manner, flhelays her hand ujpon his arm, and goes with him to the,'bull-room. There he passes his arm around her waist, and presently they art) UmZ among the throng of whirling dancers, and both givo themselves tip for the time being to t h e mere delight of knowing; that they are together. • Two people, seeing them enter thus together, on apparent lv friendly terms, regard them with hostile glances. Dora Talbot, who iri-rocj net ting sweetly with a gaunt man of middle ago, whoi.sevidently overpowered by her attentions. letting her eyes rest upon Florence us she waltzes past her with Sir Adrian, colors warmly, and, biting her lip. forgets tho honeyed speech she -was about te bestow upon her companion, who is the owner of a considerable property, and lapses into Bilenot\ for which tli.o gaunt mail is devoutly grateful, as it gives him a moment iii which to reilect on the safest means of getting rid of her without delay. Dora's fair brow crrn-vs darker and darker as she- .watches Florence, and notes the smile that lights 'on her beautiful face as she makes some iniswer to one of'Sir Adrian's s;-!lies. Yfhcre is, Dynpcourt, that he has not been on tho spot to prevent this dance, she wonders. She grows angry, and ,would have stumped her little foot wjth impatient wrath at this moment, lint for the feisrtrt1 .displaying her vexation. As she is inwardly anathematizing Arthur, he emerges from the throng, and. the' dance being at an end, reminds MiiS-D^imaitie that tho next is his, Florence unwillingly removes her hand from Sir" AdiiaTfs arm, and lavs it upon Arthur's.' Most disdainfi:iiy she.moves awav with him, and- sni!.i.V him to lead her to another part of t;>u room. And when she (lances with him, it is with evident reluctance.

All this time she has not allowed herself to glance even in his direction, so fearful Is she of further betraying the mental a^oiiy she is enduring. -"is it likely I should speak of it!" returns Sir Adrian reproachfully; "Xo; anything connected with you shall bo sacred to me. But—pardon me—I still think you arc in i^ietf-und, Relieve me, in spit'o of everyr-liinff, I "would deem it a privilege to ba allowed to befriend tou in any wav."

There are others, no doubt, whose happiness lies in tho fact that they may render you a service when it is iii their power. I do not complain, however. Xay, I would even ask you to look upon me at least as a friend." "I shall always regard you as a friend," Florence* responds .m a low voice. "It would bo impossible to mo to look upon you in any other light." "Thank you for that," says Adrian qilickly. ""Though' our lives must at necessity be much'apart., it will still be. a comfort to me to know that at least! wherever you may,be, you will think of me as a friend." ':Ah," thinks Florence, with a bitter pang, "he-'-is now trying to let me know now absurd was my former idea that he _ might perhaps "learn to love mel" This thought is .almost insupportable. Her pride rising in arms, she subdues all remaining traces of her late emotion, and, turning suddenly, confronts him. Her face is quite colorless, hirt Rhe can not altogether hide from him the sadness that still desolates her eyes. "You nre Tight," she agrees. "In the future our lives will indeed be far distant from each other, so far apart that the very tie of friendship will readily be forgotten bv us both." "Florence, do not say that*'* ho entreats, believing in his turn that she, alludes to her coining marriage with his flpusin. "And—ami—do not be angry with me; but 1 would ask you to consider long and earnestly before taking the step you Have ii! view. Kemember it is'a bond that once scaled can never be canceled." "A bond! 1 do not follow claims Florence bewildered. "Ah, you will not trust me; not confide? in me!"

"You are not engaged, i hope?" ho says anxion>l\. It is a kind of wretched comfort to him to be "near Florence's true.iriend. If not Ilie rose, she has at lenst some connection with it. "[ am afraid I am." Dora respoTids, raising her limpid eyes to his. "Naughty man, why did vou not come sooner? I thought you had forgotten me altogether, and so got tired of keeping barren spots upon my card for you." "['•ouldn t help it —I wusengagtnl. A man in his own house has always a bad time of it looking after the impossible people," says Adrian evasively. "Poor Florence!.. Is she so very impossible?" asks Dora, laughing, b u t pretending to reproach him. "I was not speaking of >Iis3 Delmaine." says Adrian, flushing hotly. "She is the least impossible person I ever,mot. It is a privilege to pass one's time with her." "Yet it is with her yon have passed the last hour that you hliu has been devoted to bores." returnsDora quietly. This is a mere feeler, but sjie throws it out with such an air of certainty that Sir Adrian is completely deceived, a*nd believes her '.acquainted'with his, tete-a tete with Florence in the dimly lit anteroom. *• . "Well," he admits, coloring again, "your cousin was rather upset by her acting. I think, and I ju^t stayed' with her until she felt equal to joining ws all again." "Ah!" exclaims-pora. who now knows all slm had wanted to know. "lint you must not tell me you have no daiiees left lor me." says Adrian gnyly.

"I am not sure a t all," responds Sir Adrian, laughing, "I am, positive it will be awfully unkind of you to deprive any feliow of youf society; but be unkind, * and scratch him out for lay bake." lie speaks lightly, but her heart beats high with hope. " F e r v o u r sake," she repeats softly drawing her pencil notess the name written on her programme and subhii-/ tuting Ii1s. "Hut you will give me more than this one dance?" .jueries Adrian.
