Otis has been cabled to follow up his victory and occupy the islands of the Archipelago to as great an extent as his forces will preinit. The forces under the command of Cien. Otis, present for dut}*, number 19,510 men. About 6,000 more are on their way. but will not reach Manila for three weeks or a month. The insurgent force, according to the belief of the best authorities at Washington, number about 30,000 men. Although they exceed the Americans in number they are not comparable in personnel, discipline or quality of arms. War Notes. The insurgents ut Ilcilo boast that they have won their independence and have established a civil government. They will probably change their mind when a forward moyement on that place is ordered by Gen. Otis, and Gen. Milles disembarks with the 18th infantry and a battalion of artillery. Word from Rear-Admiral Dewey has been received which says he. has captured another schooner loaded with arms, and ammunition intended for Ag-uinaldo. It is said that the German consul at Hong Kong was concerned in the sale of the arms to the Filipinos. Our soldiers have complete control of the situation within a radius of nine miles of Manila.

Chairman Cannon of the appropriations committee of the house, in the course of the general debate on the sundry civil bill, sounded a note of warning against extravagant appropriatious and practically served notice that neither the ship subsidy bill nor the Nicaragua canal bill could be passed at this session. Although he specifically disclaimed speaking for anyone but himself, the statements he made, coming from the chairman of the appropriations committee, caused great interest. The house done some good work with the public building bills. The committee had reported 78 bills for buildings in 35 states, authorizing in the aggregate an expenditure of $14,060,- 000. Little or no opposition developed. As a result 40 bills, carrying or authorizing appropriations aggregating 811,- 304,^00, had been laid aside with favorable recommendations before adjournment. Senate committee on military affairs have agreed to report the bill introduced by Sen. Fairbanks for the reimbursement of governors of states for moneys expended in connection with the recent war with Spain. The bill is amendatory of the act of July 18 last and extends the provisions of the act so as to include expenditures made subsequent to July $ and prior to Aug. 12, 1898. The state department, after mature consideration, has declined to recognize the claim of the Austro-Ilungarian government for indemnity on account of the Hungarian strikers killed by Sheriff Martin's posse at Hazeltonl Ta., Sept. 10, 1897. The department's action is based upon a special opinion prepared by Solicitor W. L. Pcnfield. The Indian appropriation bill, which has been pending1 for several Weeks, has been completed and passed by the senate.

A dispatch from Washington says: Gen. Otis has been ordered to use his best efforts to capture Aguinaldo and hold him prisoner until further instructions. Careful estimates place the Filipino loss, for the first two engagements, at 2,000 dead, 3,500 wounded and 5,000 taken prisoners. Aguinaldo has already got discouraged and has appealed for truce, but Gen. Otis has declined to talk with him at present. The number of American casualties are still increasing. The latest report says that 59 were killed, 207 wounded and 3 missing. Reports say that Aguinaldo has already lost his influence Utougoout ,a greater portion of the Philippines.

The senate finance committee referred the bill to extend our tariff and internal revenue laws to Hawaii to a sub-committee, which is expected to report at an early date. A favorable report was ordered on what is known as the Ontage distilled spirits bill. It extends the whisky bonding period to seven years. The following bills have been passed by the house: Extending anti-contract labor laws over Hawaii; referring war claims aggregating $212,000 to court of claims; to create a national park on battleground of Vicksburg; permitting cadets from Costa Rica and Colombia to enter Annapolis naval academy. The senate has ratified the peace treaty, negotiated at Paris between the commissioners of the United States and Spain some time ago, by a close vote of 57 to 27, or one vote more than the necessary two-thirds majority to secure a senatorial concurrence in a treaty document. The ways and means committee has made a favorable report on the bill for government participation in the pan- American exposition on the Niagara frontier in 1901, and making an appropriation of $500,000 for a government building and exhibition at Buffalo. Rep. Corliss has secured the passage of his bill authorizing the use of voting machines in congressional elections, each state to have the option of allowing their use.

How many times in life a few words of jjood advice, coming" from a frieni} one can depend upon, will save us hours, perhaps months, of misery. The following which comes from Battle Creek will interest our renders. Dr. Oliver Guiteaux, Veterinary Surgeon of that city, a well-known man there, as well as in Kalamnzoo and Marshall, speaks of his exj>erience with the little conqueror and the result of a few timely aiJa OL yellow pumice were lying among shattered of basalt, which were studded wkh .srai1.-, and crystals that glittered :'s the sunshine suv-'.m'jti through a . ;tvine upon them. The sides of the ravine were clothed with rich copstv.ood and little thickets of the retama-blanca, which there grows about ton feet high, and is covered with tvfts ol odoriferous flowers. The distniu sea, the waves of which fc-eomoi' lo Lank or slr-cp in the sun- .-hino, closed the perspective of this raviue; p.tid th :re w;1 could see the Eugenie at a.'tchor, with hor saov; ^.vhite courses loose and lie: other canvas neatly handled.

There a ciear spring gurgled joyously from a li.v.suie in the rocks; and now, opening: ihe courier bag, we proceeded to make our breakfast en the viands I had brought from the ship—to wit, bologna sausage and biscuits, with brandy and water. The air was deliciously clear, and over the brow of the rocky chasm in which we sat, there fell a natural screen of all the wild Indian fig and vine creepers.and these shaded us from the increasing heat of the morning sun. All vas still there. We heard only the coo of the p e a t Tvood pigeons among the gorgeous foliage, or the sweet notes of the little "I think I see her yet, Master Rodney, for she was the first vessel I shipped on board of, and hang me If I didn't love her as if she had been my old mother's house, near Deptford docks. "Her hull way long and low, and sat like a swan in the water, only that she was not white, like a u^au, but as black as puint could make her. Aloft, the masts tapered away like fishing-rods, crossed by the square yards, while stays, shrouds, halyards and hamper were always taut, as if made of cast-iron; tTut for all this, she failed to weather that gale off the Congo river. She missed stays and got Bternway, so you see, sir, it was soon all over with her after that." "How?—I do not understand." "Don't you know what sternway is? What do they teach folks ashore? She was taken aback in the hurricane—the most dangerous thing that can happen to any vessel—a sudden shift of wind threw her on her broadside in the trough of the sea, and with her deck toward the storm, so her hatches were soon beaten in—all the sooner that she was driven on a coral reef near the Shark's Nose, where the sea was like a sheet of foam around her. "Five poor fellows were washed away and drowned; but when day broke, and the storm abated a little, the captain, six men and I got ashore in the long boat, just as the poor Arrow began to break up, for we could see the waves beating into her a i d rending asunder the decks, the inner and outer sheathing, as if they couldn't scatter the cargo fast enough far and wide. "Well, there v.e were, shipwrecked I in a wild place- on the west coast of Africa, at a part of the Congo river where the mangrove trees grow into the water, and have their lower branches covered with oysters and barnacles.

My companion was a short and thickset sailor, about forty years of age, and whose figure was suggestive of great muscular strength; his hair was cut short, but his whiskers were of the most voluminous description, as he was anxious to conceal as much as possible of the strange circles, stripes, and grotesque designs with which his sun-burned face was covered, and which, by their form and blackness, imparted a hideous aspect of features that otherwise were rather good looking and pleasing. He was an intelligent man,and well read, for the humble class to which he belonged. „ "Aye, Master Rodney," said he, on perceiving that I was still surveying him with something of wonder (and his face was a point on which he was particularly sensitive); "you see what a precious figure-head these 'tarnal niggers on the coast of Africa made for me." "How did this happen, Tom?" said I, filling his drinking horn. "About twenty years a^o, Master Rodney, I belonged to the Arrow, a smart Liverpool bark of two hundred and twenty tons register. I made many voyages in her to South America, but at last, as bad luck, or my destiny (as men say in the play) would have it, she was chartered for the west coast of Africa, to trade with the natives, but not in black cattle, for slavery was never our line of business. "We sailed from the Mersey in June, and early in August found ourselves at the mouth of the Congo river, after a prosperous voyage; but on the night we made the land, * heavy gale came on, and it veered round all the points of the compass in an hour. The sea and tbe sky was as black as they could be, a n d everything else was black too, except the breakers on ahe shore to leeward, and heaven knows they were white enough—too white and too near to be pleasant. "Our skipper handled the Arrow well, and she obeyed every touch of the helm as a horse might do its bridle; she was sharply built, but heavily sparred, and no other sqnarerlOTt* craft upon the sea oosjft fctr o t « wlad. \ for shelter into a grove of oil-palms, | and there. Master Rodney, we found tulips, lilies and hyacinths growing wild, and six times larger than you ever saw in England. "Some of cur men proposed that we should repair the longboat—she was partly stove in—and put to sea, or creep in along the coast until we were ' picked up. We were without carpenter's tools; but the captain had a case of surgical instruments, and the first use we made of the saw was to cut into halves an iron buoy v.-'uch had floated ashore froni the wre.'k. "Thus we had two kettles, in which j v-e boiled some rcabmls and their | iggs, and mnde a mts? whereupon we breakfasted. Exhausted by the late | storm, the fch'ds vrer? easily knocked down by stones as they sat with drooping wings upon the roA •; near the sea; but scarcely was our miserable meal over when we heard loud yells, and, attracted by the smok'e of our fire, down came a whole gang of ugly darkies, all Mussolongos. wild and naked, with rings or fishbones in their long ears and flat noses—all streaked with war-paint and shouting like madmen as they brandished their muskets and spears. "They fired a volley, which stretched on the earth the poor captain and all my shipmates, dead or dying. The latter they soon dispatched with their knives and spears, and left thorn to be eaten by wild animals; but on finding that I had escaped their bullets, they supposed that their fetish had protected me, and so for a time I WEB safe. "For a whole week I was forced to help these savages in *he work of taking all that remained of the wreck to pieces, though hundreds came from the interior, and they wrought hard, some men using even their filed teeth to get all the iron and copper bolts, which they prized more than the cargo, sails or spars, as they could fashion them into weapon* and the heads of spears and arrows. But with everything they could lay their dingy hands upon, myself included, they made off inland, just as a vessel, which proved to be a king's ship, came round the Shark's Nose, and thus, with help, protection and liberty at hand, I was more than ever a prisoner. "I was in very low spirits, you may be sure, fearing they only intended to fatten me up, like a stall-fed ox, or a turtle in a tub, before cooking and eating me, or making me a sacrifice to some idol carved of wood; for many I saw the whote 'tarnal tribe on their knees before the figure-head ot the Arrow, which bad been washed ashore, and was pronounced to be a fetish. "For three days v e traveled among deep and slimy-greon swamps,* thick, wild woods and immense pathless canebrakes, where in an hour I saw more tree leopards and zebras, howling jackals and antelopes, grinning monkeys and chattering paroquets, than ever were seen In all the shows at Greenwich fair, till we arrived at a kraal of a hundred huts, for all the world like pigsties, surrounded by a high palisade of bamboos, and situated in a forest of palms. "I was now the »lavo of a chief, whose rigging was rather queer, for it consisted only of a deep fringe, or kilt, of unplaited gra3s, a necklace of lion's teeth and fishbones, and a cap of leopard's skin, on which towered a plume of feather3, above ;i row of human teeth and sea shells. "Ef-ing rope-t-nded by an inch-a~:Ia- haif colt—a^v, or keelhauled onr- & day frcn: Mie X-rcyardarm—were j ikes when cojr.pared to all this African nigger made me undergo, in pestilent swamps, where the very air choked me, as if I had br?en in a ship with a foul hold, for the slime in these canebrakes was as thick as tar and black as old bilge-water. "One day i e was soothing hits excitement by beating me with a heavy bamboo, till my back and arms were covered with blood. Close by were a whole gang of the tribe squatted under a palm tree, smoking bubbles— bubbles made cut of nut shells, looking on and laughing at the torture I was undergoing; but in the midst of their sport we heard a roar ihat made our hearts tremble, and all ready to scamper off. "There was a mighty crashing and swaying of the wild canes in the adji- ci?nt brake, and th'-n a ?rreat, squarebeaded and tawuy-lvJ; .'.•<: lion, as large as :t £oo;l-sized pony. ;:n:l with a tuft Tike a '^v.'ab at the en'! of his switching tail. rr-.n\-> plunging forv.-p.rd, with eyes ! flay hi n s and red mouth open.

Under the II, preventative, are two de- ; partmeuts vis. health and heredi- ! ty, and sanitary and economic ; cookery. The health and heredity department aims to extend the ' reverent study of God*s health decalogue, with a view to best methods of daily living and by wiae and careful words to teach the power and force of heredity in races and individuals. III. EDUCATIONAL, Scientific Temperance Instruction.— This department aims to secure such legislation, local and state, as shall make the study and teaching of the laws of health, with special reference to the effect of stimulants and narcotics upon the human body, obligatory throughout the entire system of public education, and to secure active personal sympathy and cooperation in temperance work, on the part of the college students of the land. Its plans include addresses, leaflets, open letters, circulation of literature, and organization wherever practicable. PHYSI-CULTURE DEPARTMENT. This department proposes to secure laws in all the states, making it obligatory that physical exercises, according to the best scientific methods for the developement of health and Btrength, shall be regularly taught in our public school. This department is organized in the expectation of great good to the mothers of the future, through an improved understanding—©£~*b* laws mid practice of health, common- seuse methods in dress, food, exercise, etc. SUNDAY BCHOOL WORK. This department aims to teach the same habits And principles as tbe foregoiop, but frcm a Bible point of view, and by means of exercises and lessons regularly prepared by established Sunday school publications, and taught wheuever the lesson permits and especially on a quarterly Sunday dedicated to this purpose. TEMPERANCE LITERATURE. This department aims to prepare and circulate books, papers, leaf lets, ^tc. for the general education of public sentiment and also for topical study in all department* of W C T U work, that our local meetings may be made interesting and profitable and our members thoroughly educated in all branches of temperance reform. Presenting Our Cause to Influential Bodies.—This department aims to secure the presentation of our work before all the above societies indicated and an j others of suitable character, in towns, counties, districts, state* and the nation, shat tbe W 0 T U aad the principles it advocates, may be known and endorsed in influential quarters. The method is to endeavor through members of these associations, to secure the passage of a resolution approving oar work aad committing the associations themselves to do all in their power in their respective field to I advance the cause of total abstineooe and prohibition. Our should aiao be presented to the ltadiug asBociations by oar ablest speaker B, arrangements being made through the local onions.

Kittie Hoff in discurtxinif this pap9r said that the best students come from tbe farm for they have tbe constitution to stand bard work, Mike Baen then read a paper "Tbe Farmers Daughters." He said that farmers daughters were agreeable creatures to writ* to bat not to write about and N. J.

True! but as each boy may ticket himself with his own value, the conclusion is just enough. A newspaper correspondent, writing from Moscow, states that the Russian government is extending its plans for a railway through Persia, so as to take in Arabia and the Red sea country. There is already a Russian railway from Resht, on the southwestern coast of the Caspian sea, to Kasbin, near Teheran. The Russian plan to carry a railway line from Teheran to Bushir, on the Persian gulf, is extended, not abandoned, and the project when developed will give railway communication between European Russia and northeastern Africa, besides making possible the mobilization of troops near the Afghan frontier. on.

BUT DID HE SWEAR AT BATTLE OF MONMOUTH? Tradition Affirms That He U«ed an Oath —He Certnluly Ilud Sufficient Provocation for 8troug Language—Geuernl Lee the Victim. Secretary Wilson of the agricultural department had less to say on the president's recent trip south than most of the other members oi the party. He did take occasion, however, to advfse some of the colored people whom he /net to plant clover and raise sheep and cattle. "The trouble," he said, "Is that you kejep too many dogs and too -few sheep.—The coat of fecdiag dog would raise two sheep or one hog," Another economic statement was that if all the salaries received by the politicians were compared with the value of the eggs laid every year, it would be found that there was more money in hens than in politics. RAD1TI0N says that on one occasion the father of his country so fur forgot his religious training and principles as to have used an oath. Profanity does not comport with the generally accepted character of George Washington, and there are many who deny the tradition. It was at the battle of Monmouth where Washington is supposed to have lost his temper and swore at Gen. Charles Lee for disobeying orders and retreating, thus endangering the whole American army. If ever man was There are survivals of old-world superstitions still existing in this country which, though perhaps harmless, bring a curious sense of wonder to a reflecting mind. A "Pennsylvania German," whose wife had recently deserted him, ascribed her disappearance solely to witchcraft. The customary method of procedure among his people In such cases is to immerse a pair of the delinquent's stockings in a pot of water place the pot upon a hot fire and keep It boiling for twenty-four hours. This is supposed to be infallible. The belief is that it will break the spell under which the woman is laboring, and will cause her such uneasiness that she will gladly return home, but will also inflict dreadful pains upon the person who had bewitched her. The husband followed thz formula, but the result is not stated. denly evacuated Philadelphia in June, 1778, and began their retreat across New Jersey, Washington, with his whole army, pushed on as rapidly as possible to intercept them before they reached New York. Late on headed off tho British, went into camp near the enemy on the plains of Monmouth. Lee was next to Washington In command, and thero can be no doubt at this time that envy and hatred were strong factors in the breast of the subordinate. Lee's instructions were to advance early and attack the enemy as soon as they began to move, unless thero was some powerful reason for not doing so. It seems that this very slight discretionary power given him furnished the pretext for his conduct. Lee had under him such men as Lafayette, Wayne and Morgan's famous riflemen. The conduct of Lee on this occasion is a puzzlo to the student of human motives. At one moment he seemed in earnest and determfued, at the next he was weak, hesitating and uncertain. In the council of war heid at Hopewell Lee advised against the attack, and showed a very faint heart throughout the fight. When the British began to move he made a feeble attack, which was followed up by half a dozen blundera in rapid succession—Ho held La- "Egad," "By gad" and "Zounda," a genteel sort of profanity, were In common use In those days, but Washington has never been accused of using them. In the midst of the excitement and confusion attending a battle, and the rallying of routed hosts under the heavy fire of a victorious enemy, It is doubtful if spoken words can be successfully reported, and some other word may have been used by Washington which his enemies distorted Into "by." Is it not more probable that the "father of his country," instead of swearing, made use of some sort of supplication? White with anger, and boiling over with disappointment and chagrin, what would be more natural than that he should, on meeting Lee, cry out: "My God, Bir, I desire to know what is the reason, and whence arises this disorder and confusion?" The man who gave rise to the rumor of the uso of profanity may have been Lee himseli, who was anxious to malign the man who had rebuked him on the battlefield. It was an easy matter to report his "my" as "by," and thus change the whole tenor of Washington's remarks. This theory is certainly the most reasonable as well as the most charitable, and, after an investigation of almost 120 years, it ought to be adopted. After Washington, at the risk of his life, had brought order out of chaos, and formed the routed troops into an invincible line of battle, he rode back to where Leo sat on his horse In a bad flt of sulks, and, pointing to the rallied troops, asked: "Will you, sir, command in that place?" "I will," Lee eagerly V v ' STATE LEGISLATURE The junketers have retirrned from their upper peninsula trip, and it is to be hoped that their rest will enable them to get down to solid business at oace. However, little was awcompllhhed at their iirst session. A few bills were introduced and one passed under suspended rules, authorizing the people of Homo township, Moutcalm county, to decide by vote ut the next towu mooting* day ^whether ex-Township Treasurer C. K. Taylor should be relieved from liability because of the failure of tho Edmore Exchange bunk. Three local bills have been passed by the house, under suspended rules: One authorizing Hough tun to borrow not more than $SO,OLIO to build a union school; to vacate the township of Wheattield in Montmorenoy county and attach the territory to Vienna township; to vacate the townships of Blaine, Grove, Ball and Center Plains, in Crawford county, and to attach the territory to the townships of Maple Forest, South Branch, Beaver Creek uncl Gray* li»£. The reason for the last two bills is that siuce the pine timber has been cut off it costs too much to maintain so many townships. They were all given immediate effect. Rep. Eikhoff offered a resolution di- The Department of Agriculture is doing all it can to make tue best of a bad matter—the free seed distribution. In his annual report the secretary states that the division of botany has been intrusted the task of testing all the seeds sent out by the department, not only those of the regular departmental distribution, .but those imported through the recently established section of seed and plant Introduction and those procured in other ways for the experimental work of the various division?.. Never before has the department distributed seeds of higher purity and germinative capacity than during the past year. Furthermore, an elaborate series of field testa was made to ascertain whether the seeds were really of the varieties stipulated in the contract. It was found teat in. several cases the -varieties were wholly at variance with the contract, seeds of cheaper varieties caving been substituted, presumably by the subcontractors. The fact that these varieties were not true to mame could not, of course, be ascertained for several months after the seeds were distributed, but a portion of the purchase money was withheld, pending the result of the field testa, and a GEN. LEE. tried, it was Washington at Monmouth, j and if ever profanity was excusable it j was on that occasion. Lee, according to some historians, was a designing traitor, who, envious of Washington's popularity, schemed to defeat his army. It ia quite certain that he hesitated when the oath of allegiance, required by the continental congress, was administered at Valley Forge. Washington was himself administering the oath to Lee, Greene, Stirling and others, the officers placing their h a i J s on a Bible. When Washington began to repeat the prescribed-oath, Lee suddenly removed his hand from the Bible, and the commander-in-chlef asked why he did so. His answer was: "As to King George, I am willing enough to absolve myself from all allegiance to him, but I have some scruples about the prince of Wales." Even the grave Washington joined in the laugh that followed this explanation. But Lee eventully took the oath with the others, and subscribed aurate redaction was made in the price paid for the seed. The principal beaefdal result of this action is expected to Ue in its waraiac to teture eoa~ traetors that they will be paid for no Inferior seed, whether tfato Inferiority is 4 M to ttusujhin, or to their fayette In check until it was too late for him to cut off some of the British army, and weakened Wayne's forces by withdrawing from him some of his best soldiers, and finally ordered a general retreat all along the line. Along a narrow pass, with a morass on either side, the Americans fled on that hot June day, pursued by the yelling Britons. The weather was so excessively warm that many of the soldiers perished from sunstroke. Washington, who was bringing up the main army to attack the British in such a way as to cut off their retreat to New York, after the cannonading early in the morning, was astonished and perplexed to hear no more firing. Anon the shouts of the victorious Britons and the occasional musket shot fell on his GEN. WAYNE. his name to one of the blanks now on file In the archive* at Wnshinjtom. When the British «n4er Clinton GEN. LAFAYETTE. • ears, and, with a feeling of distrust, he galloped forward, accompanied by his entire staff. They met the head of the retreating army under Gen. Lee. Just at this point, according to tradition, Washington did his "cussing." History records the first word3 uttered by Washington as: "Sir, I desire to know what ig the reason, and whence arises this disorder and confusion?" Tradition says that the sentence began with "By God, sir." According to tradition, Washington, after meeting Lee, ordered Oswaklls battery to unlimber and open on the enemy; that he then galloped down toward the advancing enemy, and fired his holsters at them, wheeled his horse about, rode back asd formed the retreating hosts into a line of baUle. to meet the foe. Without doubt the father of hla country was greatly provoked at Lee, and the evidence at Lee's trial shows that "hot asd angry" words passed between them, Bvt It is still a matter of doubt whether Gen. Washington swore. Sttcn temt and colloquial REMOVED HIS HAND FP.OM THE BIBLE. "Then," said Washington, "I expect you to check the euemy immediately." "Your command shall be obeyed, and I will not be the first to leave~Hfe~ field," returned Lee. The advancing foe was held in check. Washington brought up the remainder of the aimy, and all that long Sab- \ bath day the battle raged, but the Britons and their allies were defeated and stole away during the night. After it was all over, Lee demanded an apology, but Washington, instead of apologizing, placed Lee under arrest. He was tried and dismissed from command for twelve months. He never entered the army again, but sulked throughout the war and tiled in Philadelphia Oct. 2, 1797. Knocked Washington Down. Washington was an eminently fair man. He had a quick temper, but as a rule he kept it under control. Sometimes, however, it got the best of him. This was the case once in Alexandria. One of the county officers told me the story as we stood on the second floor of the market house in Alexandria and looked down at the open court within it, which is now filled with hundreds of booths where the farmers uring their products for sale on market days. "It was on that spot," said the oflicer, "Washington was knocked down by Iiieut. Payne. Payne was a candidate for the legislature against Fairfax of Alexandria. Washington supported Fairfax, and when he met Payne here, he made a remark that Payne considered an insult, and Payne knocked him down. The story went like lightning through the town that Col. Washington was killed, and some of his troops who were stationed at Alexandria rushed in and would have made short work of Payne had Washington not prevented them. He pointed to his black eye and told them that this was a personal matter and that he knew how to handle it. Every one thought that this meant a duel. The next day Payne got a note from Washington asking him to come to the hotel. He expected a duel, but went. Washington, however, was in an amiable mood. He felt that he had been in the wrong, and said, 'Mr. Payne, I was wrong yesterday, but if you havft had sufficient satisfaction, let us be friends.' There was a decanter of wine and two classes on the table which Washington had ordered to smooth over the quarrel. The two drank together and became such strong friends after that that Payne was one of the pallbearers at Washington's fun«ral." I reeting the state board of arbitration to offer its services to settle the F. & l\ M. lookout ut Ludin^ton. It was H'lopted. Eikhoff's idea is to find out which side, if either, will refuse to submit to arbitration. In the house the judiciary committee reported favorably the bill for an additional circuit 'jiidge in Wayne county, which looks as though there is going to be an effort made to pet this through in time for tho spriug election. The senate in committee of the whole approved the bill for making an appropriation for the state library and a traveling1 library. The former oarries S:.';r»U0 for the library and 54,000 for a traveling library. The opinion that the Atkinson bill m:iy pr'v.ss is tfro'.vinjr. A few amend' mi'nts may be attached, but the pnif( ram of those favoring the bill is to stick to it until it is passed or beaten. Hop. Alclricb, of Detroit, has a. bill wliiah ho will soon spring upon tho house, whieh is designed to do away with all kinds oi Suuduy amusements in the City of the Struits. < The railroad committee asked to have printed 1.000 copies each of nearly all the important bills that are before it—about half a dozen in all. This was done. The senate has concurred in Rep. Ileiueinan'fs resolution asking the secretary of the navy to name the next the Michigan. A wife should not expect her a«sband to be U«ht-hearted if her bisomUs AM heavy. tiov. pmgree is credited with the remark that "if this legislature dosen't pass the Atkinson bill, I'll find a party next time that will."

Pingree thinks that the' proposed bounty on iron would be a good thing, but iie wouldn't make it per-" manent. Senator Looniis offered a resolution in the senate congratulating President McK'nley Senators Burrows and Mc- Millan on the ratification of the peace trraty. Kej>. Aldrich has a bill provided for a graded ineotne tax. It begins witha tax of }.: per cent on incomes of from. 61.000 to S-,000 and will increase gradually, making the tax 8 per cent on all invomes of 620,000 and over. After a long-winded scrap in the hou.se. the Atkinson bill was finally taken out of committee, and a special Uuy set when it should be considered in committee of the whole. The day cho&en was Valentine's Day. Senator Ward will introduce a bill in the senate which will compel the railroads to issue mileage books which arc transferable and can be used by diifereut persons without any red tape o:-f Tmal notification to the railroad company.

Imi E tUriinalo ntUrelas tFmreenet. He loved her. He meant to tell her so, and the moment for doing so had come. The fluffy golden head was very near, a few words had been spoken, when the door opened and Ella Stanton entered. A frown clouded the brow of Dr, Ralph Stanton, the eminent young physician who everybody declared would make Iiis fortune in his profession, and pretty Nellie Savllle escaped, glad to hide her flushed cheeks from her cousin's Jealous eyes. Mrs. Stanton threw herself languidly Into the depths of an easy chair. "So I have found you at last, my dear Ralph. I have been seeking you for the last hour." He hat«d this woman, in spite of her dark, witching beauty. His uncle had found that beauty irresistible and by a late marriage robbed his nephew of the quarter of a million which he had taught him to expect would one day be hia. "What did you want with me?** he asked curtly. "You are cross. I wanted your society— nothing more. Is there anything strange in that?" "Most flattering of you, my dear aunt, I am sure." It was Mrs. Stanton's turn to frown. "Don't call me by that hateful name. If I did marry your uncle, you might remember that I am not yet 25. By the way, Nellie Saville quits the teens next week." "Indeed!" "Yes. Charming girl, isn't she? Really, Ralph, if you should see the dismal hole of a parsonage where the girl's parents live you would feel grateful to me for my compassionate generosity In taking her from it for a Httle while. Are you going to Lady Campbell's this afternoon?" "No. I dele :t tea and tennis." "So -*-• T. TAsides, I have a headache. ' . i you prescribe for me?" After the majority of Mrs. Oakbrook's guests had departed for Campbell House Dr. Stanton was pacing the lawn with Sir John Dobby, smoking cigarettes and talking politics, and indoors his relative occupied a velvet lounge and tried to read the last new novel. He came to her at last, but it was; with t. serious face and an open telegram !n his hand. "My sister has met with an accident. Levison wants me to go at once." "Oh, Ralph! Is it serious? You will return here?", "I think not," he returned, replying to the latter question. —"You will como to Melton Willows at Christmas, Ralph?" "I really cannot promise. Good-by!" She sat there until the sound of the horse's hoofs had died away. Then she crossed the room and looked at the notes he had written. One was for his hostess—apology and explana- 1 "YOU ARE MISTAKEN/' tion, of course—but the other was for Miss Saville. A moment's hesitation; then she tore it open. "DearvMiss Saville:—Before you see this you will know the reason of my sudden departure. But I cannot wait until our next meeting for the answer to the question I should have asked you this morning if Mrs. Stanton's entrance had not prevented me from doing so. . I want you to be my wife, Nellie; my loved and honored wife. Will ypu? Write yes or no soon to your loving but impatieat "RALPH." A small fire burned in the grate. She put the letter into her pocket and burned the envelope. • • • "Dear Ralph," murmured the lady. "I promised you to write to him for me, Nellie. He promised to let me know how his slater was. but I suppose he has not had time. He does not know your handwriting, I think." Very soon Ella Stanton had dictated a gushing, affectionate letter, and with Mapofriwy cheeks Nellie had written It "Don't close it now, Nellie. Throw it aside, There is only one other that need be written now." "What is I t r Nellie asked, a trifle wearily. "Why, you know, dear, Mr. Qrataaa wants me to open the Brixton but I really don't feel equal task. I must write to decliaa. 1 he always laughs at nerves, fjaf } so hate being laughed at." "My felly considered the subject and must decline the honor. I am grieved beyond expression to disappoint you; but, feeling as I da, I cannot act otherwise. However, I feel confident that you will meet with one worthier than I that what I cannot grant she will joyfully concede. Only one thing I ask—that this shall in no way interfere with the friendly relations which have always existed between us," "I think it is making too much of a little thing, Ella. You will sign It. of course." "No, dear. Do it for me—only initials. How singular t£at t n e y should be alike, is it not—El\a Stanton and Elinor Saville? There, now dear, just run upstairs and see if Louise has mended that lace I tore last night." A moment more, and Ralph frtanton's simple, honest letter lay. open before her. Jealousy h,ad quickened her memory. She knew it by heart. Refolding it, she Inclosed it with that other in an envelope addressed in Nellie's pretty, graceful caligraph to "Ralph Stanton, Esq.," and sealed it carefully. It was necessary to destroy the missive originally intended for Ralph, and to indite another one to Mr. Graham if discovery was to be avoided. Two years later Dr. Stanton was journeying northward. The London season was over and the famous physician had been on the point of starting for his holiday—when he was summoned by telegram to Sir Christopher Knott, a wealthy patient brimming over with gout and crotchets. Thinking? It was dreaming—dreaming of a slim, petite figure and fluffy golden hair and gloriously blue eyes! Yes, though she had refused him he loved her still. Her home was at Grimstone. Would he see her? What folly! Doubtless she was married, and, if not, had she not told him in the cruel little letter, which was even now in the breast pocket of his coat, that It could never ba? "Grimstone! Grimstone!" shouted a porter, and so his reflections came to an end, but only to awaken into lively interest. From a second-class carriage a girl alighted—a girl in a neat little hat and gray dust cloak. Underneath that hat was a piquant little face and a clustering fringe of fluffy golden curls. Nellie was alone In the drawingroom. Suitors had wooed In vain. She was the orthodox clergyman's daughter, with her duties to perform as they rose fresh each day, and in the past a nameless disappointment. Her thoughts had turned on that vi«it to Oakbrook two years ago when -the waiting maid brought in a card.— "Dr. Stanton." "This is, indeed, a pleasant surprise," she said with a rosy flush that told its own story. "I am sorry mamma is not at home." "I am staying in the neighborhood professionally and could not leave without calling on you. It Is the privilege of friendship, and you desired that we continue friends." Nellie looked puzzled. "I do not understand you. What do you mean?" "I beg your pardon for the allusion, Miss Savile, but you cannot have forgotten? The *ords were in your letter— a letter I have kept because you wrote it, in spite of its contents." "Indeed, you are under a mistake. I never wrote to you, in my life." "Then you never wrote this or received this?" And he placed in her hands the two unfortunate letters. • • • When the primroses looked like star* in the grass and the air was filled with the odor of violets, a wedding took place at Grimstone church. And three months later a society journal announced that Mrs. Stanton, widow of tke late George Stanton, Esq., of Melton Willows, Berks, had bestowed heart and hand upon Count Horenxa, an Impecunious Italian nobleman.— Wavtrly. A CANADA FARM, Mrhut a Former itaatdent of IdaheSays Regarding Weatcrn Mr. T. A. Tolman, of Lacombe, Alberta. N. W. T., a former resident of Cascia County, Idaho, who moved to Western Canada in July, 1894, writes as follows: "I brought here thirty-four head of cattle, fifteen horses, two wagons, two seta of harness and one hundred and fifty dollars in cash. I homesteaded the southeast quarter of Section 28, Township 40, Range 26, west of the 4th Meridian, also purchased a quartersection of Canadian Pacific Hallway land. I have been farming- more or leas all my life, and I am convinced that you can raise crops 40 per cent cheaper here than where I came from. My capital at present, counting everything, is about five thousand dollars. The yield of my grain all round in 1897 was 60 bushels per acre. This year (1898) yield of wheat per acre, 37ft bushels, oats, 50 bushels, barley, 85, and potatoes, 400 per acre. I consider that this is a much better country for a man than where I came from, provided he Is industrious. Tou get a free homestead here, and Canadian Pacific Railway lands are cheap and the terms easy. I have now made my seventh payment on the land purchased by me, and am much pleased with my purchase, as the land has already much more than paid for Itself. School law here is decidedly ahead of where I came from, and there are schools wherever there art settlers." ^ With most women belief is better than proof.

A young woman named Miss Edith Smith, aged 25, strolled into the police station at Bay City early the other morning with a bundle in her arms which contained a newly-born babe. 8he claimed she found it in an alley back of her home, but upon being questioned she admitted that she was the mother and that it was born in a woodshed at 2 o'clock in the morning. The inlft&t's feet were frozen, bat bath mother and child are now out of danger. M, 111 01 ! • By Telegraph Giving a Brief Resume of the Week's Events. RELIABLE AND INTERESTING. Urlef Account of V War Up-to-Date the Filipino-American Carefully Compiled —The Atuorleaa Casualties, so far Reported la flfi Killed, 857 Wounded. War Kotos. Gen. Miller's forces have taken Iloilo, the capital of Panay. The insurgents were given until the evening of the 11th to surrender, but their hostile actions brought on an engagement in the morning. Tho iusurgents fired the native portion of the town, but without much loss to property of foreign inhabitants. It is believed the enemy's loss during the bombardment w heavy, but no A aeriean casualties are reported. The average rate of sickness in some of the U. 8. regiments has been as high as 1? per cent, but the average seldom exceeds 10 per cent, according to a statement from the surgeon-general. The death rate for July, August, September and October was 9.30 per thousand. More than half of the deaths were caused by typhoid. It is now known that the Filipino loss is fully 2,500 killed with wounded vastly in excess of that number and thousands are held prisoners. All this has been achieved at the cost of G5 Americans killed and 257 wounded. There are still two Americans missing and unaccounted for. The other night two natives attempted to slip past the U. S. crusier Olympia in a small boat. When they paid no attention to a warning shot a sentry fired at the boat and killed one of the occupants and injured the other. The towns of Molo and Jaro have been taken by (Jen. Miller's troops. The losses among the American soldiers were very small, but the enemy suffered severely. That Embalmed Bof>f Again. The roport submitted to the President by the commission appointed by him to investigate the conduct of the war department in the war with Spain has been made public. The report is a unanimous one, all the members of the commission having signed it, except Col. Sexton, whose death occurred February 4. During the sessions 405 witnesses were examined. The committees' report in brief was as follows: "It may be said now, at the beginning of this report, that there has been no evidence before us that anyone in or connected with the war department has dishonestly received a dollar. We have made persistent efforts to secure the attendance of persons to whose names rumor had attached un allegation that they knew ol corruption of officials in the war department, but these men have either denied the statements attributed to them or have maintained silence when invited to tell what they knew. In view of the facts set forth the commission is of the opinion that no refrigerated beef furnished by contractors and issued to the troops during the war with Spain was subjected to or treated with any chemicals by the contractors or those in their employ." Navy on New Llnei. The entire cost of the recasting of the navy on new lines, as proposed in the pending personnel bill, will be 82,002,569. Merging the line and engineers, as is proposed in the bill, the cost of the combination would be 82,- 665,600, which is 9*00,000 more than the total of the present pay to both branches. The,increase in the pay of the marine corps is 91.228,838, which is accounted for by the increase in the number of both officers and men. The new naval appropriation bill also carried an appropriation of $4,111,505 for pay of 10,300 additional enlisted men. 8S6 Maine Claim* Filed. A statement prepared by the auditor 1->r the navy department shows that the total number of claims filed to date on account of the Maine disaster, under the act of March 30, 1898, is 325, amounting to 1123,343. Of these 92 are claims for indemnity by survivors, amounting to 135,636; 204 are gratuity claims, aggregating 187,706. Twentynine are now on hand awaiting evidence, and 30 cases are yet to be heard from. The records show that the total number on board the Mains at the time of the explosion was 355. Of these 261 were killed and M survived •hoi Hu Yoftft* Wife. Amos Palmar, a wealthy young man, shot and killed fcis wife at their horn* ia Edgewood, Providence, R.

Aside from |hia Ht^le business was iramshisted as the meplels wanted to attend, the di*ous*iun o!tW>Atkin« son bill in the house. The Atkinson bill got a body blow in the house by the adoption of a resolution to refer all taxation measures to three of the regular house committees, who in turn should bring \n a compromise tax bill to cover all kinds of property. The committees to w h o ^ the bill goes are almost solidly ugainat the present bill. The house judiciary committee made a favorable report on <kPop" Uoodell'a bill proposing an amendment to the constitution which would hold the salaries of Wayne circuit judges down to $5,000, The bill got a unanimous vote on third reading and was given immediate eftect. It then went to the senate. Gov. Pingree has signed the bill providing that the state shall pay the rental of armories of military companies in active service. Legislative Gossip. The pawnbrokers of the state have been in the habit of charging 10 per cent interest on loans and an exorbitant storage rate, but when Sen. Flood gets his bill through they will not be allowed to charge over 5- per cent, possibly 3, with the proviso that all pledges must be kept one year before sold, and that no storage charges can be made. The house committee of elections repor. od favorably on Colby's primary election bill for Wayne cowuty. The bill was amended so as to exclude officers of villages and townships and officers of Wyandotte. It will also give one of the four best county offices to the townships. The Y. W. C. A. sent a letter to the Wayne delegation asking them to support the Detroit school board bill proposing that all school inspectors shall ba^lected at large. It is said that not more than three of the twelve members frona Wayne are in favor of such a measure. There was no contract* made by Michigan officials with can goods dealers to furnish our soldier boys an inferior article says Quartermaster-General Will White. There was only one instance were the meat proved unsatisfactory and that was made good. A bill will be introduced by Rep. Pack at this session which' will provide that sleeping car companies shall not charge more than 81 per night for a berth. Pack says that there are at least 40 of "us farmers'1 in the legislature who will vote for^t. It is thought that the present house is most two swift in vnobing bills through. Some bills are passed without. even being, investigated by committees and many without consideration in committee of the whole. '•- Rep. McCall, of Eaton county, has no use for cigarettes and will introduce a bill prohibiting the manufacture of "coffin-nails" in this state, with a penalty of 8100 for each sale. The fish commission asks 881,500. Of this $15,000 is to be used for establishing a new hatchery on the A a Sable river and the rest for keeping up work in the other hatcheries. It is estimated that it will require 8800,000 to complete Wayne's county building, and Capt. Stewart has introduced a bill to bond the county for that amount. As the close of the time for the introduction of bills draws nigh a great hustle is made by the law-makers. Seventy-five were introduced in a single day. Sen. Col ling wood has a bill empowering the state board of education to grant teachers' certificates valid for three years' course at agricultural college. A bill allowing the oduuty treasurer of Wayne county a fee of oV cents for certificates of back taxes was passed' on favorably and intrusted to Rep. Burch. Rep. Colby's bill for an -additional judge in Wayne county got a set back in committee of the whole, and action on it was postponed for the present. Sen. Collingwood will introduce a bill providing for shutes and ladders for the passage of fish in all dams in the creeks and rivers of the state. Improvements amounting to 430,489 are asked for at the Marquette prison, and 1160,000 for the Jackson prison. Hammond thinks lawyers should be> licensed to the extent of 91 and will bring in a bill to that effect. Mysftarr at Cleveland.

CHAPTER V11I— (Continued.) 11 "I remember well when, from a wild forest, I saw before me a long blue ridge. It was the Sierra Leonda-—or *the Mountain of the Lioness, as the niggers thereabout call it. the highest In North or South Guinea. Glad was 1, Master Rodney, to see the flag of old England waving on the fort and in the bay. There was a sloop of war at anchor there, the Active; and when she flred the evening gun you would have thought a whole fleet was saluting, there are so many echoing caves nnd dents in the mountains and along the shore. "I sf-on made my way homo to England, but was more laughed at than pitied for my queer figure-head, which frightened some folks, ray old mother especially, for she banged the door right in my face, and called for the police when I weat to her old bunk at Deptford. "However, I got used to all that sort of thing; but as folks are so ill-bred *nd uncharitable ashore, I have left . Oeptford forever, and keep always afloat, to bo cut of harm's way. So that's the yarn of how I became tattooed, Master Rodney." "Finish the brandy-and-water, Tom," tald I, "and now we'll make a start tor the brig—noon is past, and the atmosphere cooler than i,t was," "Your very good health. Next time we splice the main-brace ashone, I hope it will be in Cuba," said Tom, finishing the c«nteirts of my flask and then becoming so jovial that he broke at once into" an old sea-song, the last two verses of winch were somewhat to this purpose: "I learned to splice, to reef and clew. To drink my grog with the best of the crew. And tell a merry story; And though I wasn't very big, Aloft I'd climb, nor care a flg To Btand by my gun, or dance a Jis, And all for Britain's glory! *'When home I steered again I found My poor old mother run aground, And doleful was her story; Bhe had been Cheated by a lawyer elf, Who married her for tier old dad's pelf, But spent it ell, then hanged himself. Hooray tor England*-glory!" Just as Tom concluded this remarkable ditty with tones that made the volcanic grotto to echo to "gk>ry," a voice that made us start exclaimed, close by us: "Bueno! Ha! Ha! Los Anglesos burrachios!" On hearing this impertinent reflection on our Bobriety we both looked up and saw—what the next chapter will toll you. , CHAPTER IX. Dangerous Company. Behind us »tood eight fellows, flve of whom had mnskets, and three heavy bludgeons. Tfcey were apparently Spanish seafaring men; but. whether contrabandistas of the lowest class, a portion of a *1aver's crew, or merely drunken brawlers, we could not at first determine. However, they Boon made HB aware tfcst robbery was their object, and that they were in no way Averse to a little homicide it we Interfered with their plans In the ltast. Some .had tbeir coarse, but glossy and intensely bl»ek- hair confined by nets or cauls;. others had only Barcelona handkerchiefs round their heads. The spots of blood upon tnese, together witfe several patches and discolored eyes, showed us that these modern Iberians had been fighting among themselves. Their attire, which consisted only of red or blue shirts and dirty canvas trousers, was rather dilapidated; but something of the picturesque was imparted to it by the •ashes of glaring red and yellov worsted which girt their waists, and In which, they had long kaives stuck conspicuously. * By their bearing, 'their dark glaring •yes, their muscular figures, their bare arms, chest and feet, their bronzed, amilow and ugly Visages—and more than alt by thetf rags, whfch were red^ olent of garlic and coarse tobacco, U was evident thai we had fallen Into unpleasant society. Beveral had silver rings in their ears, and on the bare chest of one I saw a crucifix marked either with ink or gunpowder. • T&fcte fellow* had come from the toner or back part of the cavern, where •they had evidently been ebserria* us tot some time before they so suddenly appeared. "Acou'arditnte." said one, approvingly, as he stppffod his fierce, hooked lBose to my empty flack, and then pkac- M It in hit pocket. A second snatched iftway my courier-bag, and a third appropriated say telescope, which he IB fait MSB. Taking up a stone which lay at hand, I was about to hurl it at the head of the latter when the muzzle of a cocked musket pointed to my breast, and the butt of another applied roughly to my back, admonished me that discretion was the better part of valor. 'El page de escoba—ha. ha!" (the cabin boy), said one contemptuously, as he examined my attire—a smart blue jacket, with gilt anchor buttons, which Hislop had given me. My portemonnaie, which contained only a few shillings, and my gold watch, a present given to me by my mother when I went to Eton, were soon taken from me. As for poor Tcna, he posbdssed only r. brass tobacco-bax, a short, black pipe, and one shilling and sixpence; yet he was speedily deprived of them by one who seemed to be the ltader of the gang. "You rascally Jack Spaniard!" said Tom, shaking his clenched fist in the robber's face, "if ever I haul alongside of you elsewhere, look out for squalls!" At this they all laughed, and seized us by the arms, dragged us into the back part of the cavern or fissure in the rocks, leaving one of their number, armed with a musket, as sentinel, at the entrance, where he lit a paper cigar, and stretching himself on the grassy bank, placed bis hands under his head, and proceeded to leisurely smoke in the sunshine. These proceedings filled us with great alarm; now that they hrfd robbed us of everything save our clothes, what could their object be? One of them produced two pieces of rcpe, with which our hands were tied. Dragged by ecme, and receiving severe blows and bruises from the clenched hands and musket-butts of others—accompanied b7 the imprecations and coarse laughter of all—we were conveyed through a low-roofed grotto, or natural gallery in the rocks, the echoes of which repeated their voices with a thousand reverberations. The only light here waa by the reflection of the sunshine at the entrance, where the basalt was coated by a white substance, the debris of some old volcanic eruption; for the slope up which we had been ascending all t,he morning formed a portion of the great Peak. And now we became sensible of a strange sound and a strange odor pervading all the place. Through a rent in the rocky roof o* the grotto there fell a clear, bright stream of sunlight, that revealed the terrors of the place toward which our captors dragged us. On one side there yawned a vast black flssxira «sr ir^rtsra, in the somber -^R3Bes of obsidian ant red blocks of uva which composed U»e floor of that Lorrid cavern; and from this fissure there ascended, and doubtless still ascends at times, a hot, sulphurous steam, which rendered breathing difficult and induced an Inclination to sneeze. From the depth of that . hideous chasm, the profundity of which no mortal eye could measure, and no human being could contemplate without awe and terror, we heard a strange, buzzing sound, as if from the bowels of the iiwer earth, far—heaven alone knows hovr far—down below. In fact, we were upon the verge of one of those natural spiracles which the datives term "the nostrils," or avenues through which \he hot vapors of that tremendous Piton ascend; and the buzzing sound that made our hearts shrink, we scarcely knew why, was caused by some volcanic throe at the bottom of the mountain, whose base is many a mile below the waters of the sea. the fissure was also twelve feet broad, and acroes it there lay a plank, forming a species of bridge. Two of our captors crossed, and then ordered us to follow them. I followed like oneiin a dream; but my heart was chilled by a terror so deadly that I had no power or thought of resistance. My first fear was that the plank might be trundled from under our feet, and that we would be launched into the black abyss below; but suoh was not the object of these Spaniards, as Tom and I were permitted to pass ia safety. The remainder of the thieves followed, and we found ourselves in another giotto, the roof of which was covered fry stalactites, that (littered like gothU pendants of alabaster In the light that fell from the upper fissure, %hlch formed a natural window, and through it we ceuld see the thin, white steam ascending and curling in the sunshine. Now, supposing that they had as in perfect security, our captors proceeded to hold » consultation as to they should do with us; and imagining that we were both ignorant of their language, or. what is more probable, caring little whether' we knew it or not, they canvassed the most terrible resolutions with perfect coolness and freedom of speech. A-1 CHAPTER X. ' The Ventana. Tom Lamboume's face wore somewhat of a blanched hue, through which the stripes of his tattoing seemed blacker than ever. A severe cut on his forehead, from which the blood was oozing, did not add to%his personal appearance. He scarcely know a word of Spanish, but seemed instinctively aware that v/e had fallen into hands nearly as dangerous as his former acquaintances, the Mussolongoz, lor he sale: "Master Rodney, I fear we have run our last knot off the log-line, and our sandglass won't run again, unless heaven gives the order to turn. Yet, if I cculd but get one of these muskets, to have a shot at the rascally cargo-puddlers be'civ it's all over with us, I would be content As It iz, 2 am all over blocd, from cler." to earring, and they have well-nigh choked rao by shaking a quid do*vn my throat." "Hush, Torn," Li.id I, for I was listcniug to a discussion which took place among the Spaniards. "Do you understand their lingo?" "A little." "What are they saying?" he asked, with growing interest. "I will tell you immediately.* But as they all spoke at once In the sonorous Spanish of the Cataloulan coast, mingled with obscure slang and nautical phrases, some time elapsed* before I could understand them. Meanwhile, how,terrible were the thoughts that filled my mind. "If these fellows murdered and cast us into that awful chasm, the deed would never be known; until the day of doom cur fate and our remains could no more bo traced than the smoke that melts into the sky. Even If we escaped unhurt, but were detained so long that the brig sailed without us, what could be our condition, penniless, forlorn and unknown, in that foreign island? But this was a minor evil. Then I burned to avenge tbe lawless treatment to which we were subjected, and the blows and bruises their cowardly hands had dealt so freely. "Companeros," I heard one say, "one of these fellows Is tattooed and would sell very well to the.South American planters with the rest that will soon be under hatches. He is worth keeping, if he cannot ransom himself; as for the other—" "El muchaco!" (\he boy) said they, glancing at me. "Si—el page de escabo—If he is allowed to return, a complaint, may find its way to the senor alcalde, whose alguazils may come and borrow our topsails and anchor for a time; whereas, if we have him where the others went yesterday—" "Where?" "Into the ventana, hombre!" was the fierce response; "and then no more will be heard of the affair." My blood grew cold at these words, and I scarcely knew what followed, till the first man who spoke came forward and RiVaressed us. "Inglesos," said he, "we have decided that one cf you, after swearing not to reveal our hiding place, shall return within four hours, bearing a fitting ransom for both, else, so surely as the clock strikes, he who is left behind goes into the ventana of the mountain, where never did the longest sea line find a bottom—not that I suppose any man was ever ass enough to try. ( Santos! do you hear?" he added, striking his musket-butt sharply on the rocks, when perceiving that Tom was ignorant of all he said, and that I was stupefied by it. "Si, senor," said I, and translated {t to Tom Lambourne, who twirled hlf tarry hat on his forefinger, stuck his quid in his cheep, slapped his thigh vigorously, and gave other * nautical manifestations of extreme surprise and discomposure. "Ransom, Master Rodney?" he reiterated, "in the name of old Davy, who would ransom a poor Jack like me?" "The whole crew would table theif month's wages on the capstan h e a d - aye, in a moment, Tom," I replied, with confidence. 'Tm lure they would, and the captain and Master Hislop, too, for the matter o' that, rather than poor shipmates should come to harm; but—" "As for me," said I, with growing confidence, "I am, as you said, senores, only the page de escoba," (To be continued.)

Yonder ig a beautiful village homestead. The man of the house is dead and his widow has charge of the premises, it is Widow Martha of Bethany. Yes, I will show you also the pet of the household.

Christ appearing at the outside of the door makes some excitement inside the door. The sisters set back the disarranged furniture, arrange their hair, and iu a flash prepare to open the door. They do not keep Christ waiting outside until they have newly apparelled themselves or elaborately arranged their tre3ses, aud then, with affected sui prise, come out, and preteuding not to have heard the two or thi'ee previous kuockings, say: "Why, is that you?" No, they were ladies, end always presentable, although perhaps they had not on their best. Nore of us always have on our best; otherwise very soon our best would not be worth having on. They throw open the door and greet Christ. They say, "Good morning, Master, como In and be seated." Christ brought a company of friends with him, and the influx of so many city visitors, you do not wonder, threw the country home into some perturbation. I suprose the walk from the city had been a keen appetizer. The kitchen department that day was a very important department, and I think as scon as Martha had greeted her guests she went to that room. Mary had no anxiety about the dinner. She had full confidence that her sister Martha could get up the best dinner in Bethany, and she practically said, "Now, let us have a division of labor. Martha, you cook, and I'll sit down and learn." The same difference you now sometimes see between sisters. There is Martha, industrious, painstaking, a good manager, ever inventive of some nev/ pastry, discovering something in household affairs. Here is Mary, fond of conversation, literary, so full of questions of ethics she has no time * Arizona comes to the front now with a gold mine which yields oreworih 1117,000 a ton.

Mayor Jones told of tb« hundreds of poor people who have for five years assembled at midnight, in all sorts of weather, to each get a half loaf of bread at a. New York bakery. He contrasted this with the fortunes made oa the Stock Exchange, and said that the system that tolerates such extremes of wealth and poverty should be denounced, and he would dentwince it «s long as he had breath.

It would have been better for them to have divided the toll, and then they could have divided the opportunity of listening to Christ. But Mary monopolies Christ, while Martha swelters before *1IP firs, It was very Important that they have a good dinner that*day, for Christ was hungry, and he did not often have luxurious entertainment. Alas! me! if all the responsibility of that entertainment had rested with Mary. What a repast they would have had! But something went wrong in the kitchen. Either the fire would not burn, or the bread would not bake, or something was turned black that ought to have been only turned brown, or Martha scalded herself, and, forgetting all the proprieties of the occasion, with besweated brow ahe rushed out, of the kitchen into the parlor, perhaps with tongs in QD£ hand an4 pitcher In the other, and she cried out, "Lord, dost thou not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Bid her therefore that she help xne?" Christ scolded not a word. If it were scolding I would rather have him scold me than anybody else bless me. There was nothing acerb in the Saviour's reply. He knew that Martha had been working herBelf almost to death to get him something to eat* and he appreciated her kindness, and he practically said: "Ify-dear woman, do not worry, let the dinner go; Bit down here on this couch beside y&ur younger sister, Mary; let us talk about something else. Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things; but one thing is needful." "> { As Martha throws open the doqr, look in today,, and I.see a great in» household anxieties, ^perplexities" tlgaea, and trials, and about them I aa. .going to speak, If the Lord of Mary and Martha and Lazarus will heUy me by his grace. . As I look into that door, in the £nrt place, I gee the trial of non-appreciation. That was what made Martha so vexed at Mary. Mary, the younger sister, had no proper, esttaat* of,*toe elder sister's fatigue.1 Jtast as now, men having aqnnyjipw• ot store and factory and shop, jjr ft the stock exchange, come hoop at nig&and hear of some household annoyance'and they say, "Oh, that's nothing; you ought to be in a factory a day and have ten or fifteen or twenty or a hundred suborn dlnatos. Then you would know aosnething about assttpance s*4-.trouble." O man, let me tell you that a wife and * Mother has to conduct at the tame tine a university, a clothing itrtshHafcrestaurant, a bmnorjr, a library, and has to be health officer, police, and president of the whole realm! She has to dp a thousand things, and to do them well, in order to make things go smoothly, and that is what puts the awful tax on a woman's nerves and a woman's brain. I know there are exceptions to the rule. Sometimes you will find a woman who can sit la the arm chaiv of the library all day without any anxiety, or tarry on the belated pillow, and all the cares of the household are thrown upon servants who have large wages and great experience; but that is the exception. I speak of the great masses of housekeepers, to whom life is a struggle, and who at thirty years of age look as though they were forty. The fallen at Chalons and Austerlitz and Gettysburg and Waterloo are a small number in comparison with those who have gone down under the Armageddon of the kitchen. Go out to the country and look over the epitaphs on the tombstones. They are all beautiful and poetic, but if the tombstones could tell the .truth thousands of them woultl say: "Herb lies a woman who wa3 killed by too much mending and sewing and baking aud scourfng and scrubbing," and the weapon with which she was killed was a broom or a sewing machine or a ladle. The housewife rises in the mornlns half rested. At an irrevocable hour she must have the morning repast ready. What if the fire will not burn? What if the clock stop? What if the marketing has^ot been sent in? No matter that; it must be ready at the irrevocable hour. Then the children must be got ready for school. But what if the garments be torn? What if they do not know their lessons? What if the hat or sash is lost? they must be got ready. Then you have the7 duty of the day, cr perhaps several days to plan out. But what if the butcher sends meat unmasticable? "What if the grocer furnishes you articles of food adulterated? What if the piece of silver be lost, or a favorite chalice be broken, or the roof leak, or the plumbing fail, or any one of a thousand things occur? No matter. Everything must be ready. The spring Is coming, and there mu3t be revolution in the family wardrobe, or the autumn is at hand, and you must shut out the northern blast. But how if the moth has preceded you to the chest? How If the garments of the last year do not fit the children now? What if ell the fashions have changed? * • • As Marttha opens the door I look in and I also see the trial of severe econc hundred and uluety-ulue households out of a thousand are subjected to it, either under the greater or less stress of circumstances. It is especially so when a man smokes expensive cigars and dines at costly restaurants. He will be very apt to enjoin sccre economy at home. That is what kills thousands of women—the attempt to make five dollars do the work of seven. It is amazing how some men dole out money to the household. If you have not got the money, say so. If you have, be cheerful in the expenditure. Your wife will be reasonable. "How long does the honeymoon last?" said a young woman about to enter the married state, to her mother. Tho mother answered, "The honeymoon lasts until you ask your husband for money." "How much do you want?" "A dollar." "A dollar! Can't you get along with'fifty cents? You are always wanting a dollar." This thirty years' war against high prices, this everlasting attempt to bring the outgo within the income has exhausted multitudes of housekeepers; Let me say to 3uch. it is a part of the Divine discipline. If it were best for you, all you would have to do would "be just to open the front windows and the ravens would fly in with food, and after you had baked fifty times from the barrel hi the pantry, like the barrel of Zarephath, the barrel would Se full, and the children's shoes would last as long as the shoes of the Israelites in the wilderness— forty years. . • * * Romance and novelty may for a little while seem to be a substitute. The marriage day has only gone by, Just gone by, and all household cares are atoned for by the joy of being together, and by the fact that when it is late «t night It is not necessary to discuss whether it is time to go. All the mishaps of the nevrly-married couple in the way of household affairs are not matters of anxiety or reprehension* but merriment. The loaf o* breatf turned into a geological specimen, tsle glushy custards and Jaundiced and' measly biscuits! Oh, it is a very bright sunlight that falls upon the cutlery and mantel ornaments of a new home! Romance and novelty will do for a little while, but after a wbUe the romance is all gone and there is a loaf to be made, a loaf that cannot be sweetened by any earthly condiments, and cannot be Savored with any earthly flavors, and cannot be baked in any ordinary oven. It It the loaf of domestlc happfness. All the ingredients ,tiem hsjsveo. , Fruit from the tree of Ul^ and sweetened-with the new wine of the itlftfdom, and baked in the oven of home trial. God only can make thatloat You can cut it, but It takes God to make it £oiomoa wrote o«t of hS» *sm :;Ulo experience—ho had a wretched home—no man can be happy with two wives, much less with seven hundred —and out of his wretched experience he wrote: "Better is i. dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ex and hatred therewith." Oh, the responsibilities of housekeepers! Kings, by their Indigestion, have lost empires, and generals, through indigestion,have lost battles. One of the great.statisticians says that out of a thousand unmarried men thirty were criminals, and out of a thousand married men only eighteen were criminals, showing the power of homo. And, oh, the responsibility resting upon housekeepers! By the food they provide, by the couch they spread, by the books they introduce, by tho Influence they bring I around the home, they are helping to decide the physical, tho intellectual, tho moral, the eternal welfare of the human race. Oh, tiio responsibility! That woman Bits in tho house of God to-day, perhaps, entirely unappreciated. She Is the banker of her home, tba president, the caahier, the teller, tiif discount clerk; and ever and anon there is panic. God knows the anxieties and the caros, and he knows that this la not a,useless sermon, but that there are multitudes of hearts, waiting for the distillation of the Divine mercy j and eolace in their hour of trials and their ho?ue duties and their own fatigues. The world hears nothing about them.They never speak about them. You could not with the agonies of an Inquisition bring tho truth out of them\ They keep it still. They say nothing. They endure, and will until God and the judgment right their wrongs. Oh, but says some sister, "Are you not trying to show that all a woman's life at home is one of ,selfsacrlflco?" Yes, my sister, and that Is the only kind of life worth living. That has been the life of Florence Nightingale; that was the life of Edward Payson; that was the life of the Lord Jesus Christ; that is the life of every man or woman that is happy— a life of self-sacrifice. Those people living for themselves—are they happy? Find me one. I will give you nil the nations of the earth to find me one. Not happy, no, not happy. It 13 the self-sacrificing people that are happy, for God pays so largely, so gloriously, so magnificently, in ttie deep and eternal satisfactions of the soul. Selfsacrifice.

The 'boy declined, and more vehemently the teacher said, "I tell you, now, take off your coat; take It off Inctantly." The boy again declined. It was not because he was afraid of the lash; he was used to that in his cruel home. But it was for shame; he had no undergarments, and when at last he removed his ccat there went up a sob of emotion all through the school as they saw why he did not wish to remove his coat, and as they saw the shoulder-blades almost cuttlag through the skin. As the schoolmaster lifted liis whip to strike, a roseate, healthy boy leaped up and said, "Stop, schoolmaster; whip me. He is only a poor chap; he can't ctand it; whip me." "Oh,M said the teacher, "it's going to be a very severe scourging.

CONGRESS . 1 The agricultural appropriation bill was called up in tiui senate, considered and pabsed with only a few unimportant changes. Also » bill removing the ' -disabilities of certain persons engaged in the ci^Vwar was passed. Mr. liale, «hairoum^)t t i y naval affairs commit* tee, favorably reported, and the bill creating ao admiral of the navy, It being intended that Rear-Admiral Dewey should gut the office, was passed. A bill'amending the statutes concerning the drawing off, gauging, marking and removal of spirits, so that spirits may be drawn off in packages smaller than barrels and put in tivo-gallon cans for export purposes. House bill for the establishment of a lighthouse and fog signal at Point Arguellow, Cal., were passed. < When Rep. Corliss sprung his Pacific cable bill as an amendment to the sun dry civil bill, a point of ,order was made by Chairman Cannon of the appropriations committee, that it was new legislation. The objection was supported by Rep. Bennett, of New York, who advocated the consideration of his bill to pay a subsidy to a Pacific cable company. Corliss contended that his bill was for the continuation of the cable route to Hawaii, of which the naval appropriation bill of 1891 appropriated 825,000 for the survey of the route was made. He then asked consent to withdraw the bill, but this was denied. A very sensational and unexpected thing happened in the house during the consideration of the the sundry civil bill. The paragraph carrying appropriation of $20,000,00 0 for payment to Spain under the terms of the peace was stricken out upon a point of order made by Mr. Wheeler, a Kentucky Democrat, who declared that he opposed the appropriation on principle and would resort to any technicality to defeat it. The point of order was debated for hours and finally sustained by a vote of 149 to 56. The military academy appropriation bill has been pasted in the senate. After a spirited debate over the amend ment providing for an appropriation to secure fast mall service between New York and Washington and .Atlanta and New Orleans the amendment was retained in the bill. A house resolution to pay ccertain laborers and mechanics at U. S. navy and naval stations 50 per cent additional for work performed in excess of eight hours per day was adopted. The house finally settled the fate of the Nicaragua canal bill in this congress by refusing to override the decision of the chair in committee of the whole, when the chair held that the canal bill offered as an amendment by Mr. Hepburn was out of order. The friends of the Nicaragua bill were vary mnfiriftnt, for t?»n 4gjfl that would triumph, but after four hours of debate the chair was sustained, 127 to 100. , The senate committee on appropriations reported the postoffice appropriation bill increasing the total appropriation of the bill over the amount as it passed the house to the extent of 9333,238 , and raised the total to 8103,- 533,038 . The Ben ate by a vot« of 20 to 22, adopted the McEnery resolution, which disclaims intention to annex the Philippines or to do more than establish a stable government on the islands and prepare them for local self-government.

To odd to my troubles the kidney secretions were unnatural and irregular. At last £ was obliged to lay off work. When at home getting no better under the treatment I was then taking, some one advised me to use Doan's Kidney Pi Us and I procured a box more out of curiosity than from any expectation that they might help me. Now, 1 want this thoroughly understood, when I finished the box 1 went back to work without a pain or an ache, but to make matters doubly certain I took a second box. Since that time, and that is three years ago, I have neither had au ache nor a pain. Is it any wonder that at this date, 189S, I recommend Doan's Kidney Pills?"

The climax of life force in woman is capable motherhood. The first requisite for a good mother is good health. Health of body means health of the generative organs, Read what Mrs, G. A. Bluffton, Ohio, says about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and how well it prepared her for maternity: " DEAR MRS. PINEHAM:—I must say a word in praise of your Vegetable Compound. I used three bottles of it when I was pregnant, and labor was not nearly as long as it was with my other babies; and my baby is so healthy to what the others were. I think every woman should use your Compound when pregnant, it will save them DO much suffering and misery. I cannot say enough in praise of i t If ever 1 need medicine again, I shall use your Compound." The most successful tonic known to medicine for women approaching maternity is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It is a safeguard for every woman who uses it, and the fullest benefit comes from its use with Mrs. Pinkham's advice freely offered to all woman. Her address is Lynn, Mass. Here is a convincing statement, bearing directly on. this subject, from Mrs. E. BISHOP, of 1848 Pacific 81, Brooklyn, N. Y.: M DKAB MRS. PIMKHAH:—I am a great believer in your Compound. I was almost despairing of ever again being well, as I was a great sufferer, sad had been for years. I suffered from womb trouble, and had terrible blind fits. After writing to yen I tried your Compound. The result was astonishing^. I have used it snd advocated it ever since. In child birth it is a perfect boon.

It is somewhat Interesting to compare the weights carried by elephant! in the tin-producing districts of the Malay peninsula with those used in the long journeys and mountainous country of the Lao states. In the peninsula the distances are Beldom more than, at most, three or four days' march, and the elephant is expected to carry as much as 900 or 1,000 pounds, . besides his mahout and howda. The latter is often a mere brace of pannier*, slung together so as to rest one on each side of the backbone, and covered sometimes with a light barrel roof of bark. A good tusker which will carry 950 pounds will fetch $250, and a female which can bear 800 pounds is worth about $225. In the Lao states, where Journeys of ten days or three weeks are frequent, the average weight hardly exceeds 300 pounds, or one-third of what is usual in the peninsula. The prices in various parts of the country vary considerably. When we were on the Me Kwang and in Muang Nan, in 1893, a good tusker could be bad for $150, and a female for $115. At Chieng Mai, where good teak-hauling elephants are in great demand, a H&O-and a fcm al e Have You Heard Of it? You may have heard about SCOTT'S EMULSION and have a vague notion that it b cod-liver oil with its bad taste and smell and all its other repulsive features. It b cod-liver oil, the purest and the best in the world, but made so palatable that almost everybody can take it Nearly all children like it and ask for more. SCOTT'S EMULSION looks like cream; it nourishes the wasted body of the baby, child or adult better than cream or any other food m existence, ft bears about the same relation to other emulsions that cream does to mHi If you have had any experience with other so-called "just» good" preparations, you wUI ftnd that this fe a fact toaeap the body* 'Yoffc. anything from $250 to $500, according to her strength and ability. In the Siamese Malay states there are probably about 1,000 domesticated elephants, all told, and in the Lao country probably over 2,500 animals are working at .^e present moment. That these as4malr Jreed in captivity in Siam Is due to the fact that a large number of them spend the greater part of their time holiday-making in the jungle. When there is no work for the beast, his mahout takes him out to a nice, cool, green bit of forest, and leaves him there to enjoy himself. There is no expense connected with his upkeep, for he looks after himself. He has a hobble of rattan around his feet to dissuade him from wandering too far, and a wooden bell around his neck, by the tone of which the mahout and his little boy can always find him when they go out once a month to look him up and give him Svme bananas.—Geographical Journal MORE LOCAL.

"Bah!" said the Spaniard, grinning and showing a row of sharp, white teeth, .under a dirty and sable mustache; "though I said eo, I knew better. A shipboy seldom has a gold watch lika this," he added, displaying my gold repeater. "Now, we shall keep you; and if this seamau.—after he has first sworn that he will uot betray us—dots not return to us here •with ?54)0 within two hours after sun •et, par el"—(here he made a dreadful vow In Spanish), "we will toes you like a dead dog into the ventana of the mountain. Look down, and see what a journey is before you," he added, with a diabolical smite, as he dragged me to the beetling edge of the chasm and forced me to look into it. Our eyes had now become so accustomed to the light of the gallery or grotto that the rays of sunshine fall- Ing through the fissure above U3 were aufficient to disclose a. portion of the vast profundity on die verge of which we stood. From the earth** womb, far, far down below, there came upward a choking steam, wiiii a hollow, buzzing sound, which'deepened at times to a rumble. This steam or xriist rose and fell on the currents of air; -sometime:* It sank ao low that nothing but a black and dreary void met the eye, which ached In attempting to pierce it. Anon the steam would rise in spiral curls from that gloomy Imd below, where doubtless the fires of the now almost extinct volcano seethe their embers in the W&VEB of ^thci ocean, The words "have mercy" were on my lips, Trat I could not utter them; Bor wom>fl th'/y have availed me. Ignoraat of what tho ruffian said, and believing "he was about to thrust me In, poor Tom Lambourne, in the fullness «tf his heart, uttered a howl of dismay; and at that moment the sentinel, <Whom the gang had left at tire entrance to their lurking-place, came hurriedly on, with alarm expressed la his glittering eyes, nnd a finger plaoed, as a warning, on his hairy lip. "Paxa! Pdz! Silenzio!" (hold—peace ^-silence), he exclaimed, and added that iour^offlcere from the garrison <of S t Cruz had dismounted in the ratheir seated themselves under a tree l o amofce. This information was received toy the band with oaths and mutteriags of impatience; and by us with mingled emotions of hope and agony—hope that they might 'be the means of oar escape or rescue; and agony to know that such means were so near, and yet could Jtvnil ue nothing; for on the slightest tfouud being made by either of us, there were the Albacete knives of our captors on one hand, and the rentaxta—rthat awfu^ventana— on the other, to Insure forever the silence an* oblivkm of the :grave. Not t2te least of -my sufferings was from the cord which-secured my wrists. Already the sltin was swollen, cut and bleeding In consequence of the tightness witli vfrich these wretches had bound me. . CHAPTEE XI. SeQfciel to Oar Adventure. For two hoars—they ceemed an eteralty to me—It would appear, the four Spanish officer* lingered over their wine-flasks and cigarz jo the wooded ravine, their more»itente being duly reported from tirue to time by one of the outlaws, who stole to the cavern mouth and peeped out At last they mounted, sad rod,e off, when a fresh cause for wrath and delay was produced by the announcement that a -wagon, drawn by mules, and attended by several laborers and ftegroea, haVtbroken.down on the road About a' mile distant ; The irritation of our Spaniards— ftome of whom spoke of haring a ship to iota—wag, now, 4? great that I feared ih -aiig^d h 1 that yawned close by—the ventana, or nostril of the Piton—are yet vi7i4Iy Impressed upon my memory. At last the darkness was BO great that a lantern */a3 lighted, aad its wavering gleams, as they fell on the crystals, the spar, quartz, and glassy blocks of black obsidian and ruddy lava, which formed tho walls and arch of the cavern, on the dark ferocious visages, the gaudy sa3he3, the naked arms and feet, the scrubby black beards, and brass-mounted knives and >piusicet3 of the taciturn Spaniards, who sat in a sullen group smoking paper cigaritos—all added to the gloomy but picturesque hcrror of the place and of the incident. "Antonio, que hcra es?" I heard one say, Inquiring the time. "Las neuve y media, companoro mio" (half-past nine), replied the possessor of my gold watch, which, he consulted with considerable complacency. "Maldita!" growled the others, knitting their brows, for the dusk was rapidly becoming darkness, and they had no desire for killing us, if -\ve could be made profitable. I have often thought since that had Torn actually •procured and returned with the required ransom of $500, they would have pocketed it and then killed us both— me most certainly, as they seemed to have other views for poor Tom iu the Southern States. "We have had a long spoil of this," said he, in a low voice. "I am going to escape, if I can." "Escape! but how?" "'I don't know exactly hew yet; but we must first have our lashings ca3t pff." "Would to heaven they rvere, Tom. My hands are so swollen and ray "wrists so cut and benumbed that my arms are well-nigh powerless," I "whispered ia a low voice, like a groan. ~Sit with me here, in the shadow of this angle of rock; and now, as the darkness is fairly set,in, I shall soon make you free." By ;a rapM ana skillful application of lits strong teclh to the cord, which Tjorrad my wrists, he untwisted the knot and freed say liands; aad then in the «uddenry-Jgiven luxury of being able to stretch ray arms, I almost forg ^ ^ n d the- jchole affair y disposing of us in ajmmmary manner. This, wagon, being, heavily laden caaaed a. delay for several hourt. The ,'s rays ceased to shine through the above us; the grotto drew dark the inj^taae 4 t tau>ereeptjbj« afcad- ; the diagy /aces of our olive-sklndeUinejs grew darker still; end their impatience was only surpassed by for i we, too, had a ship to remlaute of these hoursof erery minute—pasood ttke a pao* of agony in my erery ftM every feature of that natural ranlt, through which the dying stole with tho faces and •f th* « # • whoos victims w* and More ti*a all, tho eoaseless ttermai PUS i l Jfej 4*4* ft**** jjot the necessity for ccrace&ltag the fact that I was now unbound. 1 «oon tound an opportunity for un- ^om'fi fetters. Then we kept our iiand3 clasped before HE, waited and hoped—we scarcely knew for what w.iiile te the further end of this inner cavt. our detainers' sat sullenly V> a-ud, t y the dim lantern light, .making up cigaritas from their tobacco .pouches .and those little rice-paper books v/hich are txov? procurable aeariy icverywliem. From the conversation of our captors I .could gather that -our brig, th£ Eug- enie, <was visible at anchor in the roadstead of Sauta Cruz, a mile or so distant. Tiree of these Spaniards had placed Uteir uitiekets against the wall of rock an-d seexoed dispos*^ t*j doze off to sleep. Close by its lay "ibe plank which crossed that dread ventana, like the infernal bridge of Poulsherro. which the Mahommedans believe crosses the sea of fire that on the day of doom shall separate Good from Evil. Tom and I looked at it and exchanged glances of intelligence from time to time, hut the attempt to rush across might prove doubly fatal to one or both. A slip of the foot would hurl us into eternity; and if the passage were achieved we would be exposed to the firo o* those we fled from and met by that of the armed man at the mouth of the grotto. Thus our position and its perils were somewhat complicated. - Suddenly the distant report of a piece of ordnance, coming from the seaward, made us look up and listen. "El ruido que hace el canon" (the crack of a guu), exclaimed a Spaniard, scrambling uy to the lower end of the fissure in the arch of the grotto, and looking out. ' "We all know that well enough; but what does It mean?" asked the other. The English brig at the anchorage has fired it. I see a litfht glittering on her deck: and now away it goes up to the foremast head." "It Is the Eugenie, Master Rodney," whispered Tom. "Can the captain be about to sail tonight— and without us?" aatt I, with growing dismay. "No; but he is Impatient for us to coma oC H* know* woU what a *tarttl allppery att of imps Spaniards are, and has show* a light and fired a gun as a hint for us •« look sharp." "Companero," eaid one of the Spaniards to the other, who was looking out, "are you BUre that it is tho English brig and not ours?" "Yes; but by St. Paul! there ia a light burning now on the Caatte de Santa Cruz; so our craft had bettor get her sweeps out and put to sea, even without us. Can the Senor Gobernadcr have emelt a rat?" This announcement, though we knew not what it referred to, had an evident effect on our captors, who were probably part of a slaver's crew; for they all scrambled up to the opening in tho rocks to look out. "Now, now is the time to slip our cables and run. Follow me!" said Tom Larabourne, in a hoarse but determined whisper, as he sprang forward, snatched up two of the muskets nnd rushed across the plank, tripping as lightly as he would have done along a boom or yard, though it crossed a gulf HO terrible. Less steadily, but not Ics3 rapidly, ycu may be assured—yet with a frozen heart—I followed him, and his Mrd, tarry hand v/as ready to grasp mir.s and dragged me forward into safety, while with a violent kick he tossed tiie plank away, and surging, down it went Into the black gulf v.'e had crossed. It vanished in a moment, and no sound ever ascended, for It seemed to have fallen into a pit that was as dark as it was bottomless. "Take this musket, and see that you can use it, sir," said Tom, as an emotion of bjavado seized him. "And so, you, Spanish greenhorns!" ho shouted, "you thought to sell me for a nigger to the Yankees, did you? Whoop! hurrah!" A volley of Spanish oaths followed this rash outburst, which drew their attention at once upon us. Some rushed to the dark brink, and paused, I suppose, for neither Tom nor I could Eee distinctly, as there was a double explosion which filled the cavern with echoes like those of rolling thunder, and a momentary glare of smoky light, while two musket balls whistled past U3, and I felt one, like a hot cinder, as it grazed my left ear. Then came *n Albacete knife, which was hurled by no erring hand, for it wounded Tom's right knee. "Give them a shot, Mr. Rodney!" said he, furiously; "I'll reserve my fire for tho sentry—and here he is, already!" And just as the eighth fellow, who was on the watch, alarmed by the fir- Ing, came rashing i» with his piece at Cull cock, Tom fired at him. "Saints and angels!" yelled the Spaniard as he bounded into the air and then fell flat on his face, where he lay beating the earlu with his feet and bauds. "Fire! flYe! Master Rodney, and then mn for it, before they can reload. 1' cried Tom, who saw that I was irrerolute; "give 'em a stern chaser!" My blood was now fairly up. Wheel- Ing~round, I leveled full at the group, one of whom was in the act of taking aim Rt me, while I saw the steel ramrod of the OOer, who had a musket, glitter in the lantern light as he reloaded. I fired! I know not whether the ball hut one of the ruffians sprang wildly forward and fell headlong Into the ventana! "That will do!" cried Tom; "away now as fast as we can~-stretch out— bear away for the harbor and the brig!" Grasping £di* newly- acquired weapons, which we never thought of relinquishing, we rushed out, and, descending the ravin*, favored by the starlight, instinctively took the path which led directly to the harbor. 1 With a heart that beat wildly, a head in a whirl of thoughts, and every pulse quickened by the whole affair— by the ferocious treatment to which we had been subjected for so many hours, by the perils which had menaced us, by the narrow escapes we had made from bullets, by the wild and disastrous tragedy which closed the adventures of a long and exciting day —I ran beside Tom Lambourne; on, on, without a breath to spare or a word to utter. (To be continued.) DOINGS OF CONQRE3S. The caval appropriation bill finally passed the house, after four days of acrimonious debate, most of which was spent upon the question of rehabilitating the nuval academy at Annapolis, in accordance with the scheme inaugurated by the appropriation of half a million in the last naval bill and the proposition to increase the maximum price to bs paid for armor plate to $545 per ton, existing law limiting it to ?400. Upon both propositions the naval committee suffered signal defeats. The amendment to build a great armor plant was ruled out upon a point of order, after a rancorous debate, in !

A motion to recommit the bill was lost, and when the question on the amend' rcont was f-ut it was carried with a routing- cheer. A separate bill appropriating 823,- 000,000 for payment to Spain under the provisions of the treaty of Paris has been passed by the house under suspension of the rules. No amendment was in ortler and an attempt to secure unanimous consent to offer an amendment declaratory of cv\r policy not permanently to annex the islands was objected to. The senate bill to reimburse governors of states for expenses incurred by them in the organization of volunteers for service in the war with Spain passed the housa by a vote of 155 to 15. There was a pronounced movement in the seuate looking to a comproinis2 on the army reorganization, bill. The movement originated with several Republican senators, who advanced the opinion that a compromise was preferable to an extra session of congress. The Cockrell bill v,as reported by them as the the first advance on the part of the Democrats toward an understanding, and many felt tliat they would go further in that direction in case Republicans should indicate a willingness to meet them half way. liy direction of the finance committee Sen. Burrows reported a bill permitting the proprietors of the Barnura & Bailey eircus to bring their animals back into the United States free of duty. The report cites the fact that all the animalhof foreign origin have already paid duty once and therefore would be entitled to free admission except for the fuilure of the law to provide for sueh. cases. . The senate committee on commerce has completed its considerations of the rivers and harbors bill. Aside from the provisions for the construction of the Nicaragua canal the committee increased the cash appropriations to the extent of about 82,000,000 over the house appropriation, while the amount of continuing contracts is increased to the extent of about 810,000,000. The house has passed the sundry ciril appropriation bill, to whick it had devoted over a. week without makiug any important amendments. The speaker's ruling upon the motion to recommit the bill with instructions to incorporate in it the Nicaragua canal amendment was sustained 155 to 96. Senator McMillan made a favorable report upon a bill appropriating 820,- 000 to prevent the spread of smallpox which has broken out in what threatens to prove epidemic fcrm in Washington. The report-was passed by the senate without the formality even of a first reading. Petitions from all sections of the country are being received by members of congress asking that the war revenue act bo amended so as to compel the telegraph and express companies to pay the tax ou telegrams and packages sent by express.

In northern Russia the month of October is characterized by features so remarkable that it is reckoned as a fifth season, coming between autumn and winter, and called the rasputnya season. It is nearly coincident in time with our Indian summer, but is more regular in its occurrence, and lasts longer. The word "rafiputnya", says Mr. Tr'evor-Battye, a recent traveler in Russia, means "the separation of the roads." During the season bearing this name the country is impassable, owing to the thawing of the first frosts and the blocking of the streams with broken Ice. The land resembles a quagmire, and even the government postal service is suspended for a month.

I think commercial travelers can stand a sermon of warm-hearted sympathy. If you have nny words of good cheer for them, you had hotter utter them. If you have any good, honest prayers in their behalf, they will be greatly obliged to you. I never knew a man yet who did not like to be prayed for; I never knew a man yet that did not like to be helped. It seems to me this sermon is timely.

One dull November afternoon, John Gerrard, the weil knowu flnancier, was Lhwwn into the handsome private ofitce or Nathaniel Nugent, the even better Lnown raiHionalre company promoter. Nugent rose with extended hand—a bland smile appearing on his usually Impassive features, which remained there till the clerk withdrew. Then it disappeared with the swiftness of a magic-lantern slide, leaving his face rigid and ghastly. "Gc-rrard, for God's sake, don't tell me you must have that money back now!" "That's just what I have to tell you Nugent, and sorry I am to do it, but I was hard hit over Kaffirs, and this new scare has made matters worse than ever." "Then I'm a ruined man." There was dead silence in the ofUce for a few moments. A look of despair crept over NugenL's face, and his guest locked almost as ill at ease. Suddenly steps were heard oh the stairs. "That's Lord Mount Dacre, one of our directors. He half suspects some thing already, and if he sees you here he will guess at once what you have come about." "What can I do? Is there another way out?" "No—but stay! Step into that cup board. He won't be here many min utes." Hastily pushing Gerrard into a large cupboard, Nugent locked the door, and turned smilingly to greet another un welcome guest. As Lord Mount Dacre discussed the business of the company in which they were mutually concerned, his hearer was on tenter hooks, for there was a slight noise in the cupboard. "Dear me, I didn't know you had another room adjoining. I hope we can not be overheard." "No, no) it's merely a cupboard," said Nugent, and he* got rid cf his visitor as quickly as possible, and then went to set Gerrard free. The atmosphere of the cupboard seemed unusually oppressive. "Come out—he's gone. Why, Gerrard, where are you?" demanded he, as nothing stirred. Then his hand touched another hand which was cold and lifeless. "My God—he's dead!" • * • When Nugent had partially recovered from the shock which this discovery gave him, he found that the accidental closing of a ventilator had of th« c Then he called in Wells, the clerk who had shown Gerrard into the office. Wells, formerly a schoolfellow of Nugent's, twenty years his head clerk, was the one man in London from whom the great company promoter had no secrets. "Now, Wells, what is to be done? You must think, for I'm nearly past it. The fact of Gerrard's having come to **THB MEN CARRIED A MYSTERIOUS BURDEN." my office will be enough to ruin me, for there arc rumors out in the city already about our dealings, and, besides that, his executors will demand repayment of all the money I owe him. In anj case I'm ruined now." "Who knows that he came here excepting ourselves?" "Did nobody see you let him In?" "No, he came in by the side door, I tJwayy* attend to mysyelLL" "But might not some one in the street have seen him coming in?" "Impossible in a fog like this, sir." "Why, no—I suppose not—then you mean to suggest—" T h a t we search the body—see if by luck fee aaa your papers on him— if be hat, burn them, and—put the body into the river." "But—tnis is terrible—and it amounts to a fraud." "Why should you look at it like tnat, stir? You can repay the money to hto friends anonymously when things mend, and you said this morning everything would go right if only you could keep the money another six montfas." True—I h*te tht idea, Wells, but I don't aee what else I*m to do, and— 111. risk'If 0 * 0 Some tamrs later two froped tlielr way through the fos which Lad driven nearly everybody indoors.

"We're nearly at the wharf, sir, now," whispered* Wells as the noise of the sirens grew every moment more distinct. "Keep your courage up—another few steps and we're safe—my God!—" As he uttered this exclamation Well3 fell over the edge of the wharf, dragging with him the body of Gerrard. • • * After desperate but vain attempts at rescue, Nugent left the wharf, well nigh demented by the horror of the situation. He had sufficient self-control, however, to be silent as to what had occurred, and when the bodies of the two men were found, far apart in the river, no one connected the death of the great flnancier with that of the obscure clerk. To the surprise of everybody Mr. Gerrard left far less wealth than hat', been expected, though six months later lais heirs received a large sum from an unknown source. The Nugent companies are as prosperous now as ever, and their promoter is a baronet, but few men who know him would care to change places with the great speculator, for, since the day when his clerk was drowned, Nugent has teen an altered man. Those who note his bowed head and brooding eyes attribute this startling change to the effect of "A City Scare."—Ally Sloper, WOMAN'S BASE INGRATITUDE. She Stile the Poor Man's Frnit Into tlio Itargaln. It was only a pantomime as the neighbors saw it, but it was easily understood, and it represented a case of the basest ingratitude and inconsistency on the woman's part, they agreed, says the New Ycrk Times. I f was last Tuesday afterroon, when the clouds appeared to be suddenly condensed and were spilling themselves upon the earth In a most uncomfortable and penetrating fashion. Notwithstanding this, two fruit peddlers, young men, not much more than boys, were walking along the street calling out their wares—bananas—which were getting a thorough drenching In the wagon, which a melancholy horse was drawing down the street after them. the different houses along the street, wondering if the rain would ever cease, and watching the peddlers with a lazy interest. Suddenly this became intensified, for one of the men did a most unusual thing; he suddenly raised the :mall bunch of fruit he had in his hand and threw it swiftly into the yard of the house before which he was passing. That was a very strang thing to do. Was he crazy? No, for the reason of the throw could be seen when an enormous gray rat appeared in view and ran lazily through the fence into the next yard and disappeared. The animal had not been hit, certainly, and why did not the man go into the yard and pick up his bananas? Instead cf this a woman came to the basement door of the house, spoke to the man, was apparently not satisfied, came further out in the rain to the gate, and there harangued him vehemently. If she wished him to do anything it was evident, from his attitude, that he had no intention of complying. The wom*n looked anxiously up and down the street. Something must be very wrong; she was looking for a policeman. There was none in sight, and she returned to the house, while the young man jumped hurriedly into the wagon and the melancholy looking horse took them quietly out of view. Not five minutes later the woman appeared again, this time in street dress, and, with a determined look on her face, walked hurriedly down the street. Then, as the curious watchers were able to turn their attention to the house, they saw the basement window open, a hand was put out and the bunch of bananas, which had apparently been the cause of the trouble, was taken inside. The real trouble could be seen then, for in the glass window pane was a big break; the bananas had not hit the rat, but they had hit the window. "And that woman has gone to have those poor men arrested," exclaimed the woman across the street indignantly. "If a big rat like that had come within a half a mile of my house and that man had tried to drive it away. I should have had him brought in to have a hot cup of coffee and bought all his bananas I never thought that woman was much, and now I know i t Stole the poor man's fruit, too!"

Since the civil war Kentucky has taken first place in tobacco, yielding annually 222,600,000 pounds. IN CANADA'S FREE HOMESTEAD LANDS. Wetaskiwin, Alta., April 6tb> W. P. McCreary, Oovt. Immigration Commissioner Winnipeg. Dear Sir:— I like the country very muca so far; have seen a great number of farmers from the states and every one seen so far says they have done well and like it here far better than where they came from, and all claim it to be the best country for a poor man that they were ever in, and with good crops this season I predict a great rush. There are some nice claims to be had yet, but will not last the summer through. I do not find it any colder thaw in Iowa and am feeling much better than when I ,left thero March 1st. I think this a great country for those who are suffering with throat and lung troubles. I have seen men that had as high as 51% bushels wheat per acre aud near 100 bushels oats, but they *veigh from 45 to 51 pounds per bushel, but the general run is 25 to 50 wheat, 50 to 75 oats, and stock looking fine; some cattle running out were nearly In market flesh. I expect to return to the states late this fail for stock, etc.; will write you when I want to go. Thanking you all for past favors, I remain, most respectfully yours, (Signed) Dr. 1). E.

As her former home had previously been in Pinckney and many of the friends still reside here, her remains were brought to this place to be laid away to rest with others beloved who have gone before. Mrs. Sigler was born in Wheeler, Stnben Co, N. Y , Oct. 5,1824. When a child she came to Michigan and settled in Pinckney, Livingston Co. She jras married to John Sigl r Jan. 6, 1841. Seven children were born to them, five daughters and two sons. Twenty-six years ago they moved to Leslie where they have since enntinued^ to live. Mrs. Sigler has been in poor health for several years, but in no apparent danger until stricken with lajrrippe, when, on the 10th day of February, abe suddenly expired. Hence has passed~frbm onr midst one of the old landmarks of tbe early pioneer life of our state.

Spring merchandise never looked more inviting and prices more tempting to purchasers than the line* of goods now being unpacked. The new wash good a, such as ginghams, percales, new prints and the like, are marvels of beauty, while the prices at which we are going to sell them at, are marvels of cheapness. The new spring embroideries—they are pronounced by all lookers as the sweetest, the daintest, the most attractive lot of edgings and insertions that ever came to Jackson. The same is true of spring laces. A line of beautiful lace to sell at 5c a yard, contains goods such as previous seasons would have been considered good value at 15c. Our buyers have been unusually fortunate for this spring in seouing choice, exquisite lines of goods at the very lowest prices.

Inquiries among the farmers in every portion of Lapeer county indicate that small fruits up that way will be a minus quantity this season. Not only hare the peach; pear and plum buds been destroyed, but a large portion of the trees themselves have been killed.

Headlong wo stumbled over piles of lava; now we sank aukle deep among the soft pumice dust; ancn we rolled, fell or scrambled through nrSld vines and creepers; then through fields of prow ing maizo and wheat, or plantations of coffee anrl apple trees; but never pausing until we reached the base of the mjghty Piton, where, breathless, gapping, panti/g and bath- «<3 in perspiration, we lay down in a little thicket of cinnamon bushes by the wayslrte to rest for a short space. During this flight. 1 had never apoken, but Tom from time to time indulged in disjointed remarks expressive of an exultation in which I cpuld not share, beizig only thankful to heaven for my escape. But poor Tom had eeen more of a rcu^h life, and of many a violent death, than it could possibly have been my let to witness. "Ha, ha! you Spanish swabs! We've slung two of your hammocks in a hot place—before the time, perhaps!" said he. "What a vow they make, like so many nejrrocs clearing a cargo when WK sheered off! Lucky it was that I eased off CUT tow lines in time! I have a good mind to put about, stand fa* the cave and pot another of those Spanish gorillas:'* Whether h« meant guerrillas I did not inquire, but was happy when vv-e reached the harbor and I felt the cool breeze of the ocean fan my throbbing temples and my hands, which, from being GO long and so tightl" tied with rough cords, and having the blood afterward driven through them 'oy rapid exertion, felt literally burning hot. AH was dark and still when we ran along the stone mole of Santa Cruz. Fortunately at that late hour there was no official to question or molest us; and we could see the brig anchored about half a mile distant, with the lantern etill burning at the foremasthead. The light on the castle had disappeared. W« soon found a small punt at the -landing stairs, and, taking possession of it -without leave, cast loose the painter a-nrd shoved off. Silently and steadily, with all our remaining strength, we pulled for the brig, «nd "were soon alo:igside. spree is over, Master ] full; another wrench at the windlass, and the anchor was tripped. "Keavn and a-wash!" cried Tom Lanboiirre, cheerily, giving the usual call of encouragement when the drippine anchoring is just out of the water and the stock is see.!}'to stir the £urface. The courses wore let fall and the J}b was hoisted; lier head fell rapidly round and she paid off bravely. iTien the firey cone of the Piton and ths lights of Santa Crux, which bud glittered in tremulous Hues alony tbe water on our beam, were shining upon our lee quarter. "Fill away the licadyards— handsomely now!" cried Westou, and just as the fust streak of day, coming on with tropical rapidity, began to brighten the horizon and shed long, Bhiny ripples on tlio sea, the canvas swelled out, tbe reef points began to patter on the taut bo3om of every anow-v/hite sail, and the loose rigging was blown out in graceful bends. There was a fine breeze rising; the white water rippled under the forefoot of the Eugenie, and soon it boiled in fcam aa we sheeted home the topsails and ran along the western shore cf the mountain isle. About the same time the Costa Rican brig which was at anchor nearer the shore (a smart craft she wr.s, straight In the bend-, and all black, save a yellow streak), also got ready for sea with great expedition, and worked out of the harbor; end when the hot sun, which crcwhile had lit up the vast continent of Africa to the cast of us, rose from the ocean, v,'e SRW her black hull and white canvas chining in his morning rays about a mile astern. "You say, Marc, that craft is A Coota Rican?" said Weston, doubtfully. "Yes, sir," replied Hislop. "She may be; but she is also a Spanish dealer lu black cattle," said Weston, who was looking at her through a powerful double-barreled glass. "I am certain if you could only see her deck when she careens a bit, you would make out the ring-bolts for iashing the slaves to in fine weather."

"She'll see the Shark's Nose and t^f» Congo river before she sees tho Hooquito cTttiks or the hills off Costa Rica; aril I have a shrewd notion that the pirates we escaped frosi are part of her crew, if one from what Master Rodney, who their lingo, overheard them say."

Suddenly I heard the sound of oars, and eaw a long, low boat shoot out from the obscurity of the harbor. My heart stood still for a moment as this «rtft WAS steered. in our direction, but to my infinite relief it boarded a Costa Rican thai lay near- us. At yet ths shadows of »Jgfct were on land aad sea—on everything save the eo&e of the Peak that towered above th* clouds, and there shown the light of the yet unriacn sun, yellow deepening Lnto saffroa, purple, blue, and then fndifg, bleeding with th« blrekness of aigfct aa the eye deseendtf to the into tin; bine immensity of space, 80 Weaton gare tfct order to brae* Ike foreyarts aback and tht lowing from green and purple to J\. i famt gray tint,- the sky was without a ciond.

We had a delightful run through *he fertile Archipelago of the Fortunate Isles, and, after clearing San Joeief, found the wind coming ajore aft Long after night had elosted in and darkness had enveloped all the sea and the Isle of Teneriffe, the rouo of the peak shone redly in Midair, with, the light of the sun that had set in the western* waters of the Atlantic. Fcr the whole of that day we had run fast through the water, making at least seven knots an hour off the logline, but midnight came before we saw the last of the mighty Peak of Adam. CHAPTER XIII. An Incident. £y the time we had been a month at aea, having applied myself assiduously to work, I picked up a little knowledge of seaznanshlp. I took my turn of watch with the rest; I learned to co aloft and to He upon a yard In a stiff topgallant brtcse. I acquired all the mysteries of knottiu* and splicing, of •errinj: a rope with spun-yarn,ai»d to know the technical difference betwten tho TODO itsejf and a llr.«. I could heave the log.box tho compass and take my "trick" at the helm with tho best man on board, and thus gained the golden opinions of those among whom a rough turn of the wheel of fortune had so strangely and so suddenly cast mo. Some days after leaving the Canaries we found ourselves passing through what seemed to be immense meadows of green stuff adrift. By moonlight the branches, leaves and fibers of this uprooted mariao forest —for such it was, being wrack and seaweeds of wondrous length springing from tho loweat depths of the ocean— sparkled:., hashed and whirled in the foaming f'dies astern of the brig as» she cleft c brushed down the yielding masse*- viih her rushing keel. I way never weary of sriirveyiag thin scene, which w?.;i so marvelou3 in its tieautj', v/heu the moon was shining on the sea. Theso vast, broad leaves and Ion?, snaky tendrils that danced upon the surface of the sea were the Florida gulf-weed. "Tho tropical grape of the sailors," said Hislop, as we leaned over the lee- | j quarter one night. "These plants grow | upon the two great banks of the At- | lantic, and were known to the Phoe- I nicians, who named them the Weedy Sea." j "I remember," said I; "and that the i seamen of Columbu3 thought they wero f.ent by heaven to stay their course." "You are right," replied tho mate, with an approving smile. "It is pleasant to meet one like you, Rodney, who has read that which is worth reading, and remembers it." "The Gulf Stream," said Weston, joining in the conversation, "is a great current about sixty miles broad, caused by the trade winds, which always blow from east to west. It issues from the Gulf between Cape Florida and Cuba, and runs at the rate of i three knots aa hour along the shores • of South and North America, till tte ] Newfoundland bank turns it to the i southeast; so everywhere its track is ! known by that gulf-weed which you now see floating past." It is by this mysterious current— this mighty river that traverses the ocean—that tbe timber logs of the St. Lawrence, the wrecks of the oM plate argosies, and the carve;! idols of older Mexico and tho Caribbean Isles, all covered with the weeds and barnacles of long immersion, have been cast upon the western shores of Scotland and tbe Hebrides, Every morning the weather became warmer—the sea anil sky more clear— tho atmosphere more rarefied. The wind was so steady that scarcely a sheet or tack was altered. Thus for several days we bore on with both sheeU ftft, as the phrase is, whea running right before the wind. Shoals of porpoises plunged across the bows of tire brig in the sapphirecolored sea, and when it was smooth a whole fleet of tho little nautili passed us with purple sails up; nor were the dark and gliding sharks and the silvery flying-fish wanting at times j to keep my attention excited; and the j tiny petrels, as they came tripping j along, half it the water and half in ; the air, kept pace with the. Eugenie, as siie crackod on under a press of sail, dashin? the waves around her, ploughing so freely and so fearlessly the deep waters that hide a finny world and wash the dark and unknown base- One' glcnofcs morning, wlien we were within a few liajs' sail of afcL^paniola, there Recurred sy circumstance which was aft^erwar.-.l a source of the deepest regret to us.il 1; how and trhyywill be shown during the progrjss/o£-*y story.

There is one race inhabiting the Philippines which will he a welcome addition to American citizenship, and will be afforded every facility and inducement to immigrate to the United States and engage in the skilled labor in which it has no peer. This is the giant East India honey bee, and investigation of its work and immense capacity fcr making honey and wax has interested the department of agriculture in a consideration of an early effort to introduce it into the United States. Secretary Wilson said In connection with the proposed importation of these bees to the United States that a special appropriation would be asked in his coming report to congress for tho investigation of the bees of the world, and a swarm of the big Philippine honey-makers would bo brought to America as soon as the question of their value and the possibility of their acclimation have been fully determined. There will also be an appropriation requested for fhe study of the agriculture and kindred products of the'newly acquired ssrrltory of the United States, and even under thin head the great honey bee of the east would be introduced by the department to this country.

A Scotch university professor, Irritated to find that his students had got Into the habit of placing their hats and canes on his desk, instead of in the cloakroom, announced that the next article of the kind placed there would be destroyed. Some daya later the professor wac called for a moment from the classroom. A student slipped Into his private room and emerged with the professor's hat, which he placed cooAffeuously on the desk, while his f*?t»W8 grinned and trembled. The professor, on returning, saw the hat, thought some rashly obstinate student had been delivered into bis hands, and, taking out his knife, he cut th*» offending article to pieces, while vainly attempting to conceal the smile of triumph that olayed about hit countenance.

The DUfereno* Between the Hontelrtet of New York and Chicago. Here are some new facts in regard to hotel life. One of ttie leading New York papers a short time ago made the humble confession that Chicago had surpassed the proud eastern metropolis In hotel population—that is, people who make public caravansaries their permanent abode the year round. Wellinformed hotel men in Chicago are at a loss to understand New York's confession in this matter, for it is undoubtedly the American city having the greatest number of hotels and hotel residents. The admission is accounted for on the hypothesis that New York, by the absorption of Brooklyn, Staten Island and other territory, gained tremendously in population, but lost, relatively speaking, in hotel prestige. Brooklyn is a city of homes; >i has few hotels. Thus New York, in increasing its population by annexation from 1,800,000 to 3,300,000, increased the number of its bona fide hotels only from 240 to 300, so that its hotel population was diminished relatively in consequence. "IL.Chicago's hotel population exceeds that of New York," said E. Willis Rice, publisher of the National Hotel Reporter, "it is only as to the ratio of Inhabitants in the two cities. That is a matter I have never figured out. The fact remains that New York has more hotels—good, bad and indifferent—than any other American city. Here are two statements, however, which can be made without fear of successful contradiction: First, New York gets $2 to $2,25 out of every hotel guest, permanent or transient, where Chicago gets $1; secondly, the business traveler or the pleasure-seeking tourtBt, who almost invariably sets up a vigorous kick and howl over a question of $S In hotel charges in Chicago, goes to New York and pays $6 for accommodations no better without a murmur. The maa who has reached the honor and distinction of arriving at a New York fcotel and ot having tnat fact duly dferbslelwd la the papers feels an IMportaaot that causes his hotel Mil to 4wia41t CUumtorlutn'N C'n.tiU Remedy This remedy is ant tided especially tor coughs, colds, v oup, whooping rniu-b and influenzi.

The fact is, we arc all placed ln just the position in which we can most grandly serve God , and we ought not to be chiefly thoughtfu l about some f-fepbere of M&ef uln^ss whieh—we may after a while gain, but the all-ab - sorbing question with you and with me ou£i;t to be, "Lord, what wilt thou have me now and here to do~?" There is one word in St. Paul's adjuration around which the most of our thoughts will revolve. That word is "home." Ask ten different men the meaning or that word, and they will give you ten different definitions.' To one it means love at the hearth, plenty at the table, industry at the workstand, intelligence at the bcoks, devotion at the altar, ln that household, discord never sounds its war-whoop and deception never tricks with its false face. To him it means a greeting at the door and a smile at the chair, peace hovering like wings, joy clapping its hands with laughter. Life !s a tranquil lake. Pillowed on the ripples sleep the shadows. Ask another man.what home is, and he will tell you it is want looking out of a cheerless fire grate, kneading hunger in an empty bread tray. The damp air shivers with curses. No Bible on the shelf. Children robbers and murderers in embryo. Obscene .songs their lullaby. Every face a picture of ruin. Want in the background and sin staring from the front. No Sabbath-wave rolling over that door aill—vestibule of the pit, shadow of infernal walls, fagots for an unending funeral pile. Awful word! It is spelled with curses; it weeps with ruin; it chokes with woe; it sweats with the death agony of despair. The word "home"" in ono case means everyttiiug bright; the word "home" In the other case means everything terrific. I shall speak now of home os a test of character, home as a refuse, home aa a political safaguard, home as a school, and home as a type of heaven. And in the first place, home ia a powerful test of character. The disposition in public,nviy; be In gay costume, while !a< private it is dishabille. As play actors may appear in oue way on tte.btage and may appear in another way behijid the scenes, teo private character mcy be very eiifferent from public character. Private character is often public character turned wrong side cut. A man may receive ycu into his parlor as though he were a distillation of smiles, and yet his lieart may be a swamp pX nettles. There are business men wiw^li day long arc mild and courteous aa4 genial a wretcned stuck of goods. There is many a man who is affable in public life and amid commercial spheres, who ln a cowardly »ray takes his anger and his petulance home and drops them in the domestic circle. The reason men do not displcy their bad temper in public is because they do not want to be knocked down. There are men who hide their petulance and their irritability just for the same reason that they do not let their notes go to priest—it does not pay; or tor tto cuvue reason that they do not want u man in their stock company to sell his itcck below par, lest it depreciate the value. As at sunset sometimes the wind rises, so after a sunshiny day there may be a tempestuous night. There are people who in public act the philanthropist, who at home act the Nero with respect to their slippers and their gown. Audubon, the great ornithologist, with gun and pencil, went through the forests of America to bring down and to sketch the beautiful birds, and after many years of toil and exposure completed his manuscript and put it in a trunk in Philadelphia, and went off for a few days of recreation and rest, and came back and found that the rats had utterly destroyed the manuscript; but without any discomposure and without any fret or bad temper he again picked up his gun and pencil and visited again all the great forests of America and reproduced his immortal work. And yet there are people with the Tenthousandth part of that loss who are utterly irreconcilable; who, at the loss of a pencil or an article of raiment, will blow as long and loud and sharp as a northeast storm. Now, that man who is affable in public and who is irritable in private is making a fraudulent and overissue of stock, and he is as bad as a bank that might have four or five hundred thousand dollars of bills in circulation with no specie in the vault. Let us learn to show piety at home. If we have it not there, we have it net anywhere. If we have not genuine grace in the family circle, all our outward and public plausibility merely springs from the fear of the world, or from the slimy, putrid pool of our own se'f.jiiness>.

One night, lying on my lounge, when very tired, my children all around me, in full romp and hilarity and laughter—on the lounge, half awake and half asleep—I dreamed this dream: I was in a far country. It bills were pas»,ed, the calendar being" cleared entirely of private pension bills and of measures correcting military anil naval re ords.

And I j i l o u s e , was also possi-d, and all these saw the people in holiday attire, and j measures now LTO to the President. I caid: "When will they put off this and put on workmen's garb, and again delve in the roine and swelter at the forge?" But they never put off the holiday attire. And I wandered in the suburbs of the city to find the place where tho dead sleep, and I looked all along thi line of the beautiful hills, the place The semite is rapidly clearing1 its desks for final adjournment. The nuval appropriation bill, which ordinarily consumes the time of the senate for several days, was passed after less than live hours' debate.

Reputation is only the shadow of character, and a very small house sometimes will cast a very long shadow.

Do not always turn the blinds the wrong way. Let the light, which puts golu on the gentian, and spots the pansy, pour into your dwellings. Do not ex* pect the little f:ct to keep step to a dead march. Do not cover up your walls with such pictures as West's "Death on a Pale Horse" or Tintoretto's "Massacre of the Innocents." Rather cover them, if you have lectures, with "The Hawking Party" and "The Mill by the Mountain Stream" and "The Fox Hunt" and the "Children Amid Flowero" and the "Harvest Scene" and "The Saturday Night Marketing." Get you no hint of cheerfulness from grasshopper's leap and lamb's frisk and quail's whistle, and garrulous streamlet which, from the rock at the mountain top clear down to the ineadow ferns under the shadow o£ the stcsp, comes looking to see vr'icre it can find the steepest place to leap off at, and talking just to hear itself talk? If all tha skie3 hurtled with tempest and everlasting stcrm wandered over the sea, and every mountain stream were raving mad frothing at the moulh with mud foam, and there were nothing but z>imoor.s blowing among the hills, and there were neither lark'3 carol nor humming-bird's trill, nor waterfall's dash, but only bear's bark a?.tf panther's scream and wolf's howl, then you might well gather into your homes only tlie shadows.

And I was bewildered, and I sat down tmder the brarteftes-of a great tree and- I said: "Where am I, and whence comes all this scene?" And then out from among the loaves and up the flowery paths and across the broad streams there came a beautiful group thronging all about mo, and aa I saw them come I thought I knew their step, and as they shouted I thought I knew their voices; but then they were so gloriously arrayed in apparel such as I had never before witnessed that I bowed as stranger to stranger.

Some interesting points regarding the rights of pewholders have been brought up in Boston in connection with the question as to whether a deed for a church iiH/ must bear an internal reveni\g, B^amp. Ixi r.c-n\& suites pews ln churches arc declared by statute to be real estate, and in other states personal ostai.0. In Boston pews have always been considered to be personal estate, and pews in churches of public worcLin throughout Massachusetts are made personal property by statute. "There ia a close analogy between a pew-right and the rJ^l.t of burial '.a a public burying ground or .cemetery," says Acting CommissioneV Wilson of the intern-i revenue bureau, "and t!iO interest wbich a pew-ho!der has in his pew Js held by English -.•ourts V> be of in i-.icospcreal nature ouly.

Chamberlain's temporary relief l>ill for the aid of «x-s<jUUer* and marinea of the Spanish-American war was finally patched up so a* to meet the •pprora^.pf both houses and was approved. The conference committees from both houses withdrew the Uiflerent amendments which would have made the bill inoperative, Under its present provisions it will run until August 1. Other bills passed in the house as follows: Legalizing the taxes -assessed in the township of Ithaca, •Gratiot county, for 1898; providing for the assessment aud levy of taxes upon the property of railroad, express, telegraph and telephone companies and the collection thereof. Passed in the senate: A bill making a new judicial circuit (3<">th) out of Cass and Vau liuren counties. The biji amending the constitution so as to permit of an additional circuit judge in St. Clair county was passed by the house, given immediate effect, and has gone to the governor; also one legalizing certain bonds of Urooks township, Newaygo county, to the amouut of $0,000, and one authorizing Gladstone to rebond for 835,000 for water .works were passed by the senate and given immediate effect, and gone to the governor. The Atkinson bill did not have such easy sailing in the senate as was expected. The bill was sent to the general taxation committee. A resolution calling on the committee to report out this and ail other similar bills in a few days was defeated. The plan of the antis is to hold a caucus and if the immortal 19 can agree as to be amendments, the bill is to be amended and sent back to the house. After weeks of shouting and bluster on both sides the antis gave in and the Atkinson bill finally passed the house by a vote of 72 to 2:i. Gov. Pingree was a silent spectator of the climax.

When the annual reunion of the G. A. K. is held, Michigan is always' well represented. Around the camp tires of the encampment our boys tell of the hardships they have gone through and the listener who knows nothing of war will wonder how they lived to tell the tale. Few men who followed old glory and escaped the shot and shell returned home without some legacy as a constant reminder of their war days. Our representative found vetera"n O. F. Nevvcomb, of Detroit, at his place of residence, No. 237 Second street. Mr. Newcomb told him how the little conqueror had rendered him invaluable service. We give his account here and some words of advice tersely told. He said: '•A lake covering about two acres in extent, containing the dead bodies of 20 mules, is not tempting water to drink, but I was one of many who drank it, and all of us would have done so if we had known there was death in every swallow. This illustrates but one of the many hardships and privations passed through during the civil war, and it is no wonder that G. A. R. men suffer from aches and pains. The most prevalent of these being due to kidney disorders. I am pleased to note a great many others who passed through as trying ordeals as I. have now learned how these troubles can be mitigated. When I say Doan's Kidney Pills will cure them I not only speak from experience but from observation.

Pocock, the English natoraJlst, tells an Interesting story of tht apiders which dwell in the flower of the pitcher-plant ot India, and Australia. This flower is an insect-trap. Around its upper edge it is brilliantly colored and sweet with honey. Lower down the walls are waxy, and so i-] ooth that no Insect can gain a bold upon them. The bottom of the pitcher i* filled with a liquid, containing several acids, which possesses Ue power of digesting organic matter. The IvcUess Insect* which fall into,thit liquid are gradually absorbed by the plant. But while most insects cartfully avoid this death-trap, a particular species of spider chooses it as ft dwelling place. By spinning a little «eb like a carpet over a part of th* waxy interior of the pitch**, it is enabled to stay there in safety. Theee spiders have apparently chosen their singular hoe* Just because of Its dangen, in such a place they are protected against their enemies. If alarsfted, ts* jpMir drops into the liquid at the bottom of the plant and remain! there until 1U «aemy has disappeared, escaping afterward, probably by neane of a sllfcea cable trtOch it had spun sekfetL A,sWrtttrtiwntto> «s met See IVivs mon Si..

In the bottom of the boat, which was evidently the clinker-built' skiff of a merchant vessel, and was all painted yellow, as a preservation from the sun In a warm climate, there lay under the thwarts a max*, either asleep, In a sfcapor, «r dead—at first we knew not which; but he was pale enough to have passed for the last. By Els tawny visage and coal-black beard, his long scarlet cap and ^ s h , In which -a sheathed knife was stuck, and also by the rings, in hlg ears, we recognfted him to-be a Spanish seaman. He was a ma* naturally of a tall and powerful frame, hut of forbidding aspect—of. great personal strength, bat wasted apparently by toil, by exposure and famine. A dark an* coagulated crust of something like blood appeared on his baked lips, and thick mustaches, on the blackness of which*the saline- particles of the sea foam^dried by the tropical s n , glittered white aa hoar frost on a bush In winter, • Aa. we roused htm he grasped his knife-instfntlvely and repulsively, but relinquished it, and then stared wildly at us, muttering in imploring tones: "Aqua, aqua, for axnor de Dios!"— (water, water, for the love of God). "Mteerieoirtla! 6V •eaores—0 Ave Mafia, mlaerlcordlar A • "Here, JlWfc Spaniard, ship a drop of this; it trreatifcrnaiky," said Tattooed Tom, ptmrtos between the parched lips of fhe Spaniard some mm, which likely had been **t 1k t*» boat by the foiw- •lght of Hlslo* The black'eye» of t&* *ast*way dilated and hashed %8 the spirit perited nl*v Testortag his watsd energies, and brinfin* a fceetfo color td his eheeto.

' "Why did you »»t throw it Jnto tb« sea?" "It would have bitten me; senor. and might perhaps have come into the boat again." •TLllely enough," muttered one of our men. "You could have knocked It over With an oar," said Hislop'Vbut <"<* your dog wear this?" he added, fishing up with the boat-hook a cap that lay in the bilge water under the stern sheets of the skiff. • "That cap Is "mine," said the Spanlard, i n a husky voice, while closing his eyes, as U wearied or appalled. "Have you two beads?" ask*3 Hlslop, Bternly. * "Noyse.nor; but—but-—" "A man may b*ve two caps, for all that." Perceiving that he was oft the point of sinking again, Tom Lambourne poured'some mdre of the rum into his mouth, and we dragged him Into our tsoat, setting the skiff, which was quite useless to us, adrift once more. "What was jnonr ship?" asked Hlalop, who spoke, Spanish fluently. "The Marshal Serrano—a Spanish brig from Cadir" "From the Canaries laet?1"! inquired hastily. "Yes; bound to Costa Rica." Tom. Ivaraboume gave me a rapid glance, as he spat on his bands and pushed his oar through the rowlock. "She foundered and went down with all ba#ds on board," continued the famished >Spaniard, in a broken voice and *lth quivering lisa. reiterated HWoi), sternly and that io««i of "All »<ave myself, senor," replied the other, hesitatingly, and. lowering his hollow eyes. "} escaped in the skiff.1' "With your dog?" "Si.senor." "In what latitude, did th(9 to^c place?" Without a raomentls hesitation, the Spaniard gave us the latitude and longitqde. * ; "I can't make out this fellow's story In any- way," said Htslop In English. "By the theory and law of storms, we should have had a touch of the same gale which fomu3«c«>d his brig—if such a gale existed. He has deserted, or been marooned. I don't believe a word he says. What la your aame?" he asked in Spanish. "Antonio," I started on hearing it, tor my suspicions were becoming more and more confirm e l # t "Anton}o? What more?" "El Cubaxio, or the Cuban; for so ^ay shipmates termed me, and I have no other name." "Qfuick, my lads!" safd Hislop. "Laj out on your oare." We were eoon alongside the Eugenie, and had our castaway hoisted on board, when, for a time, an end was put to our queries but riot to our surmises, by his becoming insensible. We had questioned him already perhaps too much, considering the weakeae of his condition. K» adhered to hlg original story In every particular when examined by Weston and Hislop a day or two after— that he belonged to the Spanish merchant brig Marshal Serrano, the same craft which had worked with as out of the roadstead of SaAta^Cnu; that she bad foTmdered to a storm, being overmasted and overladen, and that he alone escaped of all the crew; that when his l o g became mad tie had stain the antaui' and eaattlM carcass Into the sea, and that 'be haft been floating about fn an opea boat, without food and wlthoot * aught to cftol hlB parched tongtt*. save the heavy tropical dew ot heavefc, wlere we found him; and to the truth of all this be was ready to swear over two crot«ed knives, in the fashion of his country. In short, we were obliged to content ovrselve* with hta narratlpe,which Bistop duly MigroMed In tbe ship's loc, while expressing great disbelief as to Ks autbeatlcity. X* the first place, our mate denied that any soeb storm at that la which the Cub** alleged hts brig had por- Mbed hfel ever Mttted: amd he 6e* fuood from h4s Hftorlte theory (that w« were, and had beoa, la the^lrwrt fo of aneh a»uw», anil Hemee we thought It thai the man had perhaps In consequence •€ oosBBBtttiug seme crime, or foe tbeissjts veaeoat be had been tuuvonee! and set adrift, • Tke.erew were AKids* ls> -epfsJea, and Tom £ * » bovwae opetxljr expressed his disbelief that the blood whU* ej*4 th« elothea ol the £ub*f thwart of the boat ever, came vejnjtof. a dog, «nd others ixs must have quarrjled wltf*, aa fortunate shipmate aftd kUJbe4 Ws», or had,.perhaps, aqs&afllnated himJa hla sleep tor the horrible purpoee of prolonjjlBg nib own assistance, Amid tht^e ueyleasaat swrqaiues (AS to hlu character and pu^tkjn^ Hx, a fey days tbe Spaniard joined to* crew in working the »hlp, and pruvoi hlmaell to be a steady, lnduatrlocs" and able seaman, and as three of our haada were on the sick liBt, his services were the more valuable. • vOjr remarking this to,Tom Lambourne: , "It Is all very true, sir," he replied; "but I don't like a seaman who eannot look his snipmitte right In the face." "You are a physiognomist," I «uggeuted. "Don't know what kind of a mist that may be, Master Rodney; but this I know- there Is always s^aeAblng cunning and dangerous In a tallow who looks over your &bouldekv;as that Span* lard does, when be shouW look at your eyes.*1 Antonio had an excessive dislike for deck duty by night He exhibited a strange dread of being left alone, and could scarcely be prevailed upon to look over the vessel's s^de, always shrinking back as If he expected to sed something hideous rise out of tbe sea. Weston suggested that perhaps hje recent suffering had unmanned and readered him nervous, but the crew thought otherwise. In his sleep Antonio frequently disturbed the men ljn the forecastle bunks by hie muttering*, hU wild dreams, outcries, and sonorous Spanish male.* dictions. I was at the wheel on a calm and lovely night (It was the 13th of January), when we were off the beautiful shore of Hlspaniola. I remember well that Cape Samanna bore west by south, and Cape Cabron west by north, for my task of steering was new to me, afid We«ton'^ orders were "to keep her full and by"—that 1B, as t\om to the wind aa possible without making the canvas shiver. . I could see the lights that glittered In the distant villages that studded tne low but fertile peninsula of Samanna. All was stllh and qnlet In the ship and atound It. Soothed by the solemnity of the bour atid the vast solitude of the «ea, my heart was full, and busy memory brought before me loved faces and voices, pla*ts and scenes, that were far away, hi dear old England. The brig was gliding through. t£o water rapidly, but Imperceptibly, and {"almost without a sound; the men of the watch were leaning over tfie bulwark to Ieewajpd, and the air, the sea and all aloft and below seemed fa sleep in the moonlight; not a reef point pattered on the taut canvas, and scarce- a wav«let rippled save In the dead water ••'tern that marked tile white waVt of the Eugenie. Suddenly a shrill and piercing cry rang out upon the nlgnt. and Antonio the Cuban rushed out from the fore* castle with the N wildest terror ex* pressed In his black eyes; his visage was pale and ghaMly, and the perspiration glittered like bead drops on his clammy brow. With hla bare feet he stumbled over the chain cable, whkh la's coiled up op the deck, for on that afternoon we haft hauled It up and bent It t* the working anchor. He came running* aft In his shirt, brandishing a knife in his haad, and exclaiming in fierce and then Imploring accents: "Who says I did it? Who dares to say so?" "Then, lotting his arms drop as he slunk back to his bunk, we heard him groan out; "El cuehlllo—el cuchtllo!" (the knift —the knife.) Hence, uftder such circumstances, It may easily be supf>osed that among the crew there Mated strange and dark surmises as to the past Ufs ol Antonio el Cubase CTo be eouttauMd.) ADJOURNED.

However, the army appropriation bill was agreed to ard passed, and this and the rivers and harbors bill hav« gone to the President, but the armor pl»fe amendment hung up tbe naval appropriation, measure. The naval nominations, wive confirmed by the senate without opposition. T^hese are the promotions resulting from the naval personnel bill.

Miles will become president some day is not the one who figured Orover Cleveland to be a three-time winner. Statesmanship is probably needed In the Philippines, as Df>wey .said, but just at present if ia hard to see how any Is to be spared from Washington. Young Senator-elect BeveHdge of Indiana has several of the qualifications which may some time make him a president. He began his career by driving a log team. The report that Ambassador Choate is negotiating for the Curzon mansion in London looks as if he proposed to dispense some choice hospitality when he gets located over there. Alger went to Boston with President McKialey and was hissed. It takes a good deal to make the Hubltes forget their manners, but ignoring baked beans as army rations is no slight provocation.

Now, the more 1 think of it, the better I like it. The bundle,of life! H is such u aimyle and unpretending, yet expressive comparison. There 13 nothing like grandiloquence in the Scriptures. While there are many sublime passages in Holy Writ, there are more passages homely and drawing illustrations from common observation and every-day life. In Christ's great ssormons you hear a hen clucking her chickens tog^ the^ and see the photographs of hypocrites with a sad countenance and hear of the grass of the field, and the black crows, which our heavenly Father feeds, and the salt that Is worthless, and the precious stones flung under the feet of swine, and the shifting sand that lets down the house with a great crash, and hear the, comparison of the text, the most unpoetical thing we can think of -a bundle, Ordinarily it is something tossed about, something thrown under tbe table, something that suggests garrets, or something on the shoulder of a poor wayfarer. But there are bundles of great value, bundles put up with great caution, bundles the 1O8H of which means consternation and despair, anil there have been bundles representing the worth of a kingdom. * * • Bundle of hopes, and ambitions also, U almost every man and woman, especially at the starting. What gains he will harvest, or what reputation he will achieve, or what bliss he will reach, or what love he will win.

Fifty girl s-tudents have this v°ar entered upon a full scientific course of fanning at the Agricultural College in Minneapolis. Heretofore the opportunities afforded girls for study were ery; They will be Alexander Hamiltons in national finance; they will be Horace Greeleys in editorial chair; they will be Webster? in the, senate! pr 3he will be a Mary Lyon in educational realms; or a Frances Willard on reformatory platform; or a Helen Gould in military hospitals.

I take pleasure in recomme& ding your great remedy to all who are afflicted with catarrh.—M. H. McCord. Thdusauds of cases of chronic catarrh have been cured by P«-ru-u» during the past winter. In spite d changeable weather, inapite of the natural set-backs from catching cold, and confinement to illy-ventilated rooms, the great catarrh remedy—Pe-ru~na— has effected these cures. But now spring is here. The days are longer, the Bun is warmer, and the blizzard is gone for another year. This pre^-nts a much more favorable opportunity for tho permanent cure of chronic catarrh, especially old, stubborn cases. Now is the time to begin treatment. Other things being equal, one month's treatment in the spring Is worth two monthB' treatment during the inclement weather of winter Insist upon having Pe-ru-na, There are no successful substitutes for this remedy.

Prince Albert, Sa&k., 17th August, 1898. WilTiam McCreary, Esq., Immigration Commissioner, Winnipeg, Man: Sir—We, the undersigned delegates from Jtansas and Nebraska, U. S. A., in reporting the results of our trip to Dauphin, and subsequently to Hegina, Prince Albert and the middle Saskatchewan country, beg to say that our tickets were limited to 21 days, and as we had other large regions to visit, we could only epend a short time in the Dauphin couotry. We examined, however, the, principal cultivated areas in the southern parts of township 25, range 19, the great wheat fields of Wishart, Buchanan, Owen, Smith, Ross, Sinclair, the Whltmores, Drinkwaters, etc., and subsequently, othtrs to the north, and never, in our experience, have we seen finer grain. The whole country is watered by numerous streams flowing from tbe slopes of Ridftg Mountain, and excellent well water is found everywhere at from 9 to 18 feet. Extensive forests of spruce and tamarack cover the northern parts of the mountains, from which timber is manufactured in Dauphin and elsewhere, and sold at $12 a thousand at the mills. Wild bops arid wild fruits are abundant, and ripen in the open air. Vegetation throughout ia surprisingly luxuriant, and without, hesitation we would rank the whole region amongst the best grain growing areas of the continent. The output of wheat last year was about 75,000 bushels, but this year it is estimated at over a million. Westward lie the "homestead lands which now, and when fresh surveys are completed, will afford comfortable homes to thousands of diligent families. . The great Gilbert Plains, also, we wert; unable to visit, where grain growing has been conducted with the best rrsult^ for years, and which will become a vast wheat field a« soon as a bracch railway reaches there. Settlement is speeding in all these regions, reminding us indeed of the early -days in Dur own states; and, as we have ^xamioad, sicce our visit to DftophLn, a portion of the great country lying south and east of Prince Albert, we can readily imagine the tida of Imtnferation which will soon flow into tb<» Canadian wr>st.

About"3'o'cloc k p. m. on th e 24th of Januar y a small spock, which appeare d t o th e westward on ou r weathe r beam , grew rapidl y int o a gloomy cloud , an d swiftly, as if on th e wings of a de- *troyin g angel, it traversed th e thick - enin g air an d th e agitate d sea, which ^darkene d beneat h its shadow ; and so •thi s speck cam e on, unti l it grew aa •awfu l thunder-cloud .

"Da t is my country , senor, " said Antonio , who was at th e wheel, an d thi 3 remark , with th e repulsive aspect of th e Spaniar d an d his mysteriou s char - acter , served to dissipat e by momen - tar y enthusiasm . "Tha t is Caybo Buen a Vista—and th e breaker s on th e weather-bow, " he continued ; "'mar k th e Collorados , a lon g reef of rocks. Th e blue shark s are as thic k ther e as th e star s in th e sky." % We were no w in th e Gul f of Flor - ida. The sky was cloudles s an d blue, and now it seemed as if th e welkin above and th e almos t wavelets sea below were endeavorin g to outvie each othe r 4n^calmness , 4n-beautyandinthe_gior/ _ of thei r azur e depths . Th e wind was off th e land an d rathe r ahead , but th e sails were trimme d to perfection , an d we ra a throug h th e gulf on a tau t bowline. I have so muc h mor e to narrat e tha n my limite d space permit s me to give in full detai l tha t I mus t compres s int o on<» chaptet r all tha t relate s t o my visit to Matanzas . Our ru n throug h th e gulf was delightful, an d on th e 29th of January , just as a rosy tin t was stealin g over th®. Eea and th e rocky shor e of Cuba , aftor th e sun had set beyond th e water * of th e Gul f of Mexico , we saw Ha - vana light, bearin g sout h by west, an d distan t abou t fourtee n miles. So we passed in th e night th e wealth y capital of Cuba , so famed in th e annal s of our victories—La Habana , or th e har - bor—of which, from ou r being so far to seaward, we could see nothin g but th e th e great revolving light wnich burn s so brightl y o:« th e high rvelc of th e Morro , or Castell o de los Santo s Reyes; an d before dawn we descried th e light of Sant a Cru z on ou r waterbow. Weston drew my attentio n to it, add - ing, "Tha t is th e beaco n which so scared me when it shon e throug h thf* stern windows of th o empt y polaee a brig." Nex t day, after encounterin g a hea d wind, against which we tacke d frequentl y between th e Pa n de Matanza s an a th e wooded poin t of Sumberella , at 10 o'cloc k In th e mornin g a Span - ish mulatt o pilot cam e on board an d too k th e brig in charge . We ra n safely int o th e harbor , an d by 11 o'cloc k cam e to ancho r at a place recommende d by Antonio , half a cable's length from th e castle of St. Severlno . In half an hou r after th e sails were all unben t an d stowed below, an d preparation s were mad e for "breakin g bulk"—to unloa d th e vessel, whose cargo, I have state d consiste d of steam machiner y and coals, for th e sugar and coffee mills. Gang s of Spanis h mulattoes , negro porter s ar>d jumpers , In red shirt s an d wfcUs drawers, with broa d straw hats , and nearl y all with rings in thei r ear3, cam e on board In quest of employment , an d the n all was confusion , garlic, dirt , jabberin g in Spanis h an d Congo , singing, swearing an d smokin g cigar- Itos . I was now at libert y t o go ashore , and after th e first bustle was over Weston left Hislo p in charg e of th e brig and accompanied me. Matanzas presented nothing new to him, but I surveyed with interest, not unmixed with wonder, the new world In which t found myself. The city of Don Carlos de Matanzas occupies a gentle eminence between the Rivers San Juan and Yumuri,whlch roll into the bay from the mountain. ou» ridge that traverses all Cuba. Its name, Matansas, signifies the place of murder, because In that bay some of the Spaniards of Columbus were stain by tfce native Indians. (To bt continued.) >~ CTAT E LEGISLATURE .

U the nattsms <£jtyp wojf# Patrick and Lowtb, Thomas Scott, Matthew Henr/, Albert Barnes aud some other commentators say that the star Wormwood of my text was a type of Attila, king of the Huns. He was so called because he waa brilliant as a star, and, like wormwood, ha embittered everything he touched. We have studied the Star of Bethlehem, and the Morning Star of Revelation, and the Star of Peace, but my subject calls us to gaze at the star Wormwood, and my theme might be called Brilliant Bitterness. A more extraordinary character history does not furnish than this man, Attila, the king of the Huns. The story goes that one day a wounded heifer came limping along through tho fields, and a herdsman followed its bloody track on the grass to see where the heifer was wounded, and went on back, further and further, until he came to a sword fast in the earth, the point downward as though it had dropped from the heavens, and against the edges of this sword the heifer bad been cut. The herdsman pulled up that sword and presented it to Attila. Attila said that sword must have dropped from the heavens from the grasp of the god Mars, and its being given to him meant that Attila should conquer and govern the whole earth. Other mighty men have been delighted at being called liberators, or the Merciful, or the Good, but Attila called himself, and demanded that others call him, "The Scourge_of God/^ _ _ At the head of seven hundred thousand troops, mounted on Cappadocian horses, he swept everything, from the Adriatic to the Black sea. He put his iron heel on Macedonia and Greece and Thrace. He made Milan and Pavia and Padua and Verona beg for mercy, which he bestowed riot. TEe~ Byzantine castles, to meet his ruinous levy, put up at auction massive silver tables, and vases of solid gold. When a city was captured by him the inhabitants were brought out and put into three classes: The first class, those who could bear arms, must immediately en-1 list under Attila or be butchered; the second class, the beautiful women,were made captives to the Huns; the third class, the aged men and women, were rohhgri *>f everything and let_go^j)ack to the city to pay a heavy tax. It was a common saying that th« grass never grew where the hoof of Attila's horse had trod. His armies reddened the waters of the Seine and the Moselle and the Rhine with carnage, and fought on the Catalonian plains the fiercest battle since the world stood—300,000 dead left on the field. On and on until all those who could not oppose him with arm3 lay prostrate on their faces in prayer; then a cloud of dust was seen in the distance, and a bishop cried, "It is the aid of God;" and all the people took up the cry, "It is the aid of God." As the cloud of dust was blown aside, the banners of reinforcing armies marched 1B to help against Attila, "the Scourge of God." The most unimportant occurrences he used as a supernatural resource. After three months of failure to capture the city of Aquileia, when his army had given up the siege, the flight of a stork and her young from the tower of the city was taken by him as a sign that he was to capture the city; and his army, inspired with the same occurrence, resumed the siege and took the walls at a point from which the stork had. emerged. So brilliant was the conqueror in attire that his enemies cculd not look at him, but shaded their eyes or turned their h»ad3. Slain on the evening of his marriage by his bride, Ildico, who was hired for the assassination, his followers bewailed him, not with tears, but with blood, cutting themselves wiU knives and lances. He was put Into three coffins, the first of iron, the second of silver, and the third of gold. He was buried by night, and into L:s grave "was poured*. the<»asfc-Vitl«hDle «0im* it fell upon the third part of the riven, and upon tta fountains of waters, and the name at the star is called Wormwood." Have you ever thought how many embittered lives there are all about us, misanthropic, morbid, acrid, saturnine? The European plant from which wormwood is extracted, Artemisia absinthium, is a perennial plant, and all the yoar round it is ready to exude itu oil. And in many human lives there is a perennial distillation of acrid experiences. Yea, there are some whose whole work is to shed a baleful influence on others. There are Attilaa of the home, Attilas of the social circle, Attilas of the church, Attilas of the state, and one-third of the waters of all the world, if not two-thirds of the waters are poisoned by the falling of the star Wormwood. It is not complimentary to human nature that most men, as soon as they get great power, become overbearing. The more power men have the better, if tnelr power be used for good. The less power men have the better, if they use it for evil. Birds circle round and round and round before they swoop upon that which they are aiming for. And if my discourse so far has been swinging round and round, this moment it drops straight on your heart, and asks the question, Is your life a^benediction to others, or an embitterment, a blessing or a curse, a balsam or a wormwood? Some of you, I know, are morning stars, and you aro making the dawning life of your children bright with gracious influences, and you are beaming upon all the opening enterprises of philanthropic and Christian endeavor, and you are heralds of that day of Gospelijsation which will yet flood all tho mountains and valleys of our sin-accursed earth. Hail, morning star! Keep on shining with encouragement and Christian hope! Some of you are evening stars, and you are cheering the last days _pf_old people; and though a cloud sometimes comes over you through the querrulousness or unreasonableness of your aged father and mother, it iv. only for a moment, and the star soon come3 out clear again and is seen from all the balconies of the nalghborhood. Ths old-people- will forgivo your occasional shortcomings, for they themselves several times lost their patience with you when you were young, and perhaps whipped you when you did not deserve it.\ Hail, evening star I Hang on the darkening sky your diamond coronet. • * * What is true of individuals is true of nations.

What spirit of destruction spread the lair of wild beasts In her royal sepulchers, aad taught the miserable cottagers of today to build huts in the courts of her temples, and sent desolation and ruin skulking behind the obelisks and dodging among the sarcophagi, and leaning against the columns, and stooping under the arches, and weeping in the waters which go mournfully by, as though they were carrying the tears of all ages?

The Moral of This Old, Old Aoocdote vTlU Save a Hsap of Trouble and a PU« of Money. Something had gone wrong with some simple part of a stationary engine and the stoker could not fix it. After spc&ding a day or two on it he was forced to ask the aid of a more competent workman. He failed also, and someone suggested the employment of a local celebrity, a sort of aUakeratany mechanical job. There is generally one in every locality. He gave two or three raps with his hammer and touched up a rod or two, when the pounding, or whatever ailed the machine, ceased. When asked to make out his bill, it read as follows: To Fixing Enrtne t .60 To Knowing Sow 10.00 This anecdote clearly demonstrates that it pays to know how. Engineer J. J. Jeff eries, of the Royal Cycle works at Marshall,. Mich., residing in that city at No. 141 8.

He says: My kidneys troubled me more or less for years rod finally became so bad that 1 was compelled to give up soeomotive engineering on account of the Jarring of the train, and seek employment as a stationary engineer. When the attacks of kidney complaint occurred I could not rest or Ue comfortably tn any position and often in the morning after a restless night I wan more tired and worn out than when I went to bed. When the attacks were at their height X was unable to stoop or lift anything and despite the use of every remedy that came to my notloe. preparations recommended to me by my acquaintance*, numerous plasters of all kinds worn day and night.

TSatwarfc* We are not, nor never have we tried to issue a "party11 politioai paper, but oar aim has always bees to support the man we thought be»t qualified for the office, irrespective of party affliations. We are now supporting W. F. Van Winkle for judge of the 35th judicial circuit for tbe very reason that we believe biro to be a peer in legal learning and ability, in integrity, in bonesty, and in morality. Besides that, he is a Livingston County man, having spent all bis life in our midst, helping to build up both town and county. He is a young man—only 41—and shonld receive tbe support of every loyal lover of justice and right. Do not wait until after election and then wish you had went aad voted for him—it will be too late—but go to the polls Monday April 3, and do your duty towards a fellow townsman, and when Mr. Van Winkle is elected, never fear but that he will administer justice in tbe courts of this district, that, the same would be done without unnecessary delay and to the least possible expenset ojtta e _t axp_ay_ers of J be _jcoiintry^ The following are some of the good words said of him in the newspapers of the two counties: Prom what one can hear from every direction the people are becoming more and moie awake to the fa<t that the circuit jud^eship should not be a political position any lhore than many other offices which are still unfortunately put forward in that light for inatancH, supi erne judge, judge of probate and register of deeds. It is conceded by all consistent people that only the most, able should occupy these positions and that politics should be aa foreign to them as is black from white. L'firhaps this is why the majority of all parties in this judicial district are apprantly unanimous in the support of W. P. Van Winkle for our next circuit judge; at least it looks very much that way.— Iiri«hton Argus. His nomination wa9 in no way the result of an understanding with political rings and bosses, but came in the form ot* a well deserved compliment paid by his party, which is tbe minority in the 35th judicial circuit, making tbe selection of the very best candidate available the partie's only hope for success. Mr. Van Winkle deserves the hearty support of all silver men in Shiawassee county, in which event he will be elected and tbe people may rest assured that tbe duties imposed will be discharged without fear of favoritism.—Durand Express. In the nomination of William P. Van Winkle for the office of judge of the 35th judicial circuit, the Democratio- Ugion-Silver party selected a candidate who is particularly well! fitted for the position. He is in the • prime of life, being 41 years of age,, stands at the head of his profession in Livingston county, and is rated a*< one of the brigbest lngal lights in central Michigan.— Owoseo Reporter. William P. Van Winkle has servei the people of Livingston county, as' their Prosecuting Attorney, fur < period of four years. The service he rendered them in that j>o sition 13 not forgotten, and the ability and integrity with which be sarvrt the people, led him to t\ie prominence he has reached in bis profession Tbe peoble should cooly and deliberately make their choice guided by intelligent inquiry and c&retul ccn>Herat ion.

As a result of a cyclone in Tennessee 10 deaths and many fatalities is reported. The path of the storm was about 200 yards wide and it traversed the country for 12 miles, beginning in the northern part of Cleburne county, v near Iron City, and moved southward. Those who saw H say that there wals an immense conical cloud and that J t bounded along like a rubber ball, rising at intervals and leaping for several hundred yards without doing any damage.

There was not a ship lying there tor "England, or any other craft by which Western could have sent me 'borne. A Spanish steam-packet was , tm the eve oT departing for Cadiz, but being wearied by the monotony of my long voyage, I was scarcely in a mood for the sea again, and wished to spend «a 'little more time on shore Instead of leaving with her. However, I wrote to my family by .'the Spanish mall, acquainting them of lay safety, with the strange incident -which had so suddenly torn me from them, and adding that I would return lay the first ship bound for any part of /England; ft possible, with the Eugenie, which would probably be freighted for London. After the packet sailed with my letter in her capacious bags, I experienced an emotion of greater happiness and contentment (dian I had ever done since leaving home, for the sorrow which I knew all thjere must have suffered, and would .still be suffering, hung heavily on,/ny heart, As wo were returning to the brig, which had now been warped alongside the mole., when passing through the street which contains the great hospital, we heard the sound of trumpets, and saw the glittering of lances with long streamers above the heads of a dense crowd of people of all shades of color—black, yellow and brown—and we had to doff our hats with due re- •pect as they passed, for in the midst, surrounded by a staff cf officers, epauletted and aiguletted, their breast* sparkling with medals and crosses, and each of them riding with a cocked hat. under his lefjt arm, came the present Captain General of Cuba, a marshal of the S_£anl8h_arxnx* Don Francisco-Serrano de Dominguez, attended by an escort of mulatto lancers, all mounted on Spanish horses. He was a Sne-looklsg m*n, and although aged, had all the bearing of what he was, or. I should say, is— ,a grandee of old Castile. On returning to the Eugenie we found Antonio the Cuban working among the crew «** lustily and as actively as any man on board. Weston now offered him remuneration for the time that be had been with us, with a hint that he might find a berth elsewhere; but our castaway evinced the reluctance to leave the brig, d h * * * * * * * * * f r t t t • * * * * * * * * * * * * lshed this record of their achievements might be cast by the ocean on the shore of some Christian land. As I eat by the sounding sea that rolled Into the bay of Matanzas, what would I not have given to have seen the waves cast that old cask, covered with weeds and barnacles, at my feet! But now the plodding steam tug and the rusty merchant trader ploughed the waters of the bay instead of the gilded Spanish caravels, or the long war pirogues of the Indian warriors; and where they fought their bloodiest battle3 on the wooded shore, or in the green savanna, where the painted cacique and the mailed Castilian met hand to hand In mortal strife, the smoke of the steam mill, grinding coffee or boiling sugar, darkened the sky, and the sor»gs of the negroes were heard as they hoed in the plantations, or in gangs of forty trucked mahogany logs, each drawn by eight sturdy oxen, to the sea. And EO, in a creek.of the bay—the same place where the Dutch Admiral Heyn sank the Spanish plate fleet—I was wont to sit dreamily for hours, with the murmur of the waves in my ears, with the buzz of insects and the voice of the mocking-birds among the palmettos, while watching the sails that glided past the headlands of the bay on their way to the Bahama Channel or the great Gulf of Florida. This was my favorite resort. A wood of cocoanut and other trees shaded the place and mad/e it so dark that I have seen the flre-flies glance about at noon. The cocoas are about the height of Dutch poplars, and are covered with oblong leaves, which, when young, are of a pale red. A» spring drew on, the branches became covered with scarlet and yellow flowers. Over these the vast corral tree spread its protecting foliage, whence the Spaniards, in their beautiful language, name it La Madre del Cocoa, the smallest of which has at times a thousand lovely scarlet blossoms. and begged that he might be permitted to remain on board, as three of our best hands had been sent ashore, stek, to tbe hospital. So short-sighted ta man that Captahi Weston, despite the dislike .of the crew and the advice of Marc Hislop, ordered that the name of Antonio be entered on the ship's books as foremast man. Three weeks after our arrival the t»rtg wa« careened to starboard, when clear of all the cargo, and had her copper scraped and cleaned, an operafipn which the constant rain* of the season greatly retarded. There -was much in Cuba to feed an imaginative mind, and mine was full of the voyages, the daring adventures and the vast discoveries of Columbus, with the exploits of the buccaneers, whose haunts were amid these wild and, in those days, savage shores. I thought of the gaily plumed and barbarously armed caefqnes whom Columbus had rmet in their fleet pirogues, or had -encountered in the dense forests wfcieh clothe, the Cuban mountains— fereete, ©Id, perhaps, as the <Uy§ of tbe <detage-«o* tie yellow- «klnned women with their long, flowing black a*it and with plates of polished gold hanging in their ears and noses; of the fierce warriors streaked •with sable war paint and armed with •arrows shod with teeth'or poi- I'fish boftet. that fen harmless trttm the Spanish coats of maH; of the wild Caribs, who devoured their pris- CHAPTER XVII. " ' An Evil Spirit We sailed from the-Bay ef-MatattMts at 2 o'clock a. m., on the 3d of April, bound for the Cape of Good Hope, which we were fated never to reach. The Eugeaie had been freighted for that colony with a rich cargo of molasses, sugar, coffee, and tobacco, and arrangements had been made that from Cape Town she would be chartered for Lc cdoo. Thus I had a fair prospect of seeiug hearty a half of this terrestrial glob* before I repasted my good old fathi fs threshold at Elsmere. I earnestly hoped that we might encounter no more waterapoats or tornadoes, as they were not at all to my taste; but from other causes than phesomething vsfortunate ocewttd. Halyards or braces gave way, br vhich ths yards were thrown afcackjaad in one instance the brig nearly lost her mainmast. Standing ana running rigging were found to be mysteriously fretted, and even cut, as if by a knife; and then the crew whispered together of Antonio el Cubano—that horrid, dark, mysterious fellow, whose character none of us could fathom. Twice our compasses went wrong, and remained so for days! and before the cause was discovered the Eugenie had drifted far from her course. This varying was inexplicable, until Hislop, who set himself to watch, and frequently saw Antonio hovering near the binnacle at night, unshipped the compass box and found there were conT cealed near it an iron marlinsplke on ore side and a lump of tallow on the other, either of which was sufficient to affect the magnetic needle. After their removal the compas3 worked as well as before. The crew were strictly questioned; all vowed total Ignorance of the transaction, and Antonio summoned every saint ia the Spanish calendar to attest his innocence, but none, however, appeared. The crew now felt convinced that, inspired by eome emotion of malice or mischief, he alone was the culprit; and if not loud, their wrath was dec? against him. These variations of cur compass set the busy brain of Marc Hislop to work, and in a day or two he declared that he had discovered a plan for preventing the repetition of tricks so dangerous by insulating the needle so as to protect the compass from attractions false or dangerous. I am uncertain whether he perfected this experiment, Jbut Antonio soon went to work another way; for one day, when he was supposed to be busy in the maintop, he shouted, "Stand from under!" and ere Hislop, who was just beneath, could give the usual response, "Let go!" a heavy marlinspike, the same which had been found in the binnacle, slipped from the hand of Antonio and fell crashing through the topgrating. ^ The iron bar crashed Into the deck at the feet of Hislop; whether this occurred by inadvertence or design we knew not, but the Scotsman thought the latter. "That rascally Spanish picaroon will work us some serious mischief before we overhaul our ground-tackle or see the Cape," said Weston, who was enraged by this new incident, and the narrow escape of Htarterp, for whom he had a great regard. "Aye, he has a hang-dog look about him that I never liked," replied the latter. **Ho seems to be always down by the head, somehow.

By 8 o'clock on the morning of our departure the iijht on Piedras Key was bearing south by east, sinking into the waves astern, and going out as we bade a long farewell to the lovely shores of Cuba. Three of our men had died of yellow fever in hospital, so we sailed from Matanzas with ten able-bodied hands, exclusive of three ship boys, the captain, first and second mates. In the waters, after the rainy season, the tt&r is so cloudless in the forenoon t&&t th* heat o< the sun becomes almost insupportable; thus we were soon glad to resort to the use of windsails rigged down the open skylight to an awning over the quarter-deck for coolness, and to skids for the prevention of blisters on the sides of the brig; but in the starry night the land-wind which comes off these fertile isles, laden with the rich aroma of their spice-growing savannas, is beyond description grateful and delicious. Without any incident worth recording, we ran through the sea of the Windward Isles, thence along the coast of South America, and when we approached the calm latitudes, as that tract of the ocean near the equator is named, we became sensible of the overpowering Increase of heat, while the breezes were but "fanning ones," as the sailors term those which, under the double influence of the air and motion of the hull, are just sufficient to make the lighter canvas collapse and swell We were soon aware of other annoyances than mere heat, far now it seemed as if there was aa evil spirit oa board tae Eugenie, and taat nothing went rlcat within or about liar.

" So do I,1' said Jndge Thomas. "I had a mother once, and no man has ever yet lived who »vas able to fathom a mother's love for her boy. I have not forgotten that mother and her love, and never in my court shall a mother be tried and sentenced to the penitentiary for perjury committed to savo her boy's life. There was not a dry eye in the room. The United States attorney dismissed the case. I do not know whether I have piven the exact words or not, but it is the substance as I remember it. A heart o£ stone would have consigned that mother to a felon's cell; hut a heart in which mother's love had not died out, turned that mother over to the great Just Jud^e who gave His only son that such mothers might not perish,but have everlasting life.

ILL. this story is true or not, the mind that conceived it has paid a tribute to the strength of maternal yearning, though guilty, that does not detract from the immeasurable love of mother; for love ouly could have lead her there. After every law had been broken, every admonition disregarded, every injunction and commandment violated and trampled under foot, God so loved the world that he had prepared a sacrifice from the beginning, in His only son, that the world might still be saved. Can we blame the mother for clinging to her boy whose heart is defiled, whose soul is blackened, when God set the example by loviug a world that was so lawless, and that it was only fit to be eternally damned, and gave His only son whom He loved with a greater love than any mother ever loved, to be scourged, spit upon, nailed to the cross, to die between two culprits, that God's love for humanity, through the death of His dear son, might reconcile a whole lost world to himself. he called to his recollection that prayer learned at his mother's knee, "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us." Let us withhold our criticism of the judge and leave him where he left the woman—in the hands of God. I remember another judge who had a mother, and witnesses accused a woman of a cr^ime before him. They were sticklers for the forms of law; they wanted to stone her to death. That judge said: "Yes, that's all right; 'He that is without sin let him cast the first stone;" the finite mind cannot fathom God's love nor mother's love, God only knows what mother's love is. Let us listen to the voice of mother's love, though she is laid away in the tomb; it comes to us yet, as does the voice of the sou of God bringing to us a knowledge of God's love for the world. "Lord God of Ho8t,t>e with ae yet, Lest we forget—lest we forget," the love that never dies. VAN BENNETT, lers drug store. Every bottle gnar&n* temt. UNDERTAKER AND EMBALMER. J. G. SAYLES.

SH« Hw Ohrlrtteu. We are all ready to llaten to the voices of nature—the voices of the mountain, the voices of the sea, ths voiceB of the storm, the voices of tho star. As In some of the cathedrals in Europe, there is an organ at either end of the building, and the one instrument responds musically to the to night, and flower to flower, and star to star, In the great harmonies of the universe. The spring time is an evangelist in blossoms preaching of God'i love; and the winter is a prophet— white bearded — denouncing woe against our sins. We are all ready to listen to the VOICCB of nature; but how few of us learn anything from tho voices of the noisy and dusty street! You go to your mechanism, and to your work, and to your merchandise, and you come back again—and often with how different a heart you pass through the streets! Are there no things for us to learn from these pavements over which we pass? Are thera no tufts of truth growing up between these cobblestones, beaten with ths feet of toil and pain and pleasure, the Blow tread of old age, and the quick step of childhood? Aye, there are great harvests to be reaped; and now I thrust in the sickle because the harvest is ripe. "Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets." In the first place, the street impresses me with the fact that this life Is a scene of toil and struggle. By 10 o'clock every day the city is jarring with wheels, and shuffling with feet, and humming with voices, and covered with the breath, of smoke-stacks, and a-rush with traffickers. Once in a while you find a man going along with folded arms and with leisurely step, as though he had nothing to_jk>; but for the most part, as you find men going down these streets on the way to business, there is anxiety In their faces, as though they had some errand which must be executed at tbe first possible moment. You are Jostled by those who have bargains to make and notes to sell. Up this ladder with a hod of bricks, out of this bank with_a roll of bills, on thir dray with a load of goods, digging a cellar, or shingling a roof, or That is the man* that !• Uw and'the blessing win come down upon you at ChrUt thattiayr "I was hungry and ye fed me, I was naked and ye clothed me, I was sick and in prison and yt visited me; Inasmuch as ye did it ta tfeatfr^ftoor waifa.Of th*afreets, ye did tt to me," A^ain, tns ttreet impresses me with the fact taat all e&uses and conditions of society must commingle. We sometimes culture a wicked exclusiveneaa. Intellect depises ignorance. Refinement will have nothing to do with boorishness, Gloves hate the sunburned hand, and the high forehead despises the flat head; and the trim hedgerow will have nothing to do with the wild copBewood, and Athena hates Nazareth, This ought not so to be. The shoeing a horse, or building & wall, or mending a watch, or binding a book- Industry, with her thousand arms and thousand eyes, and thousand feet, goes on singing her song of work! work! work! while the mills drum It, and the steam-whistles fife it. All this to not because mer love toil. Some one remarked: "Every man is as Lazy as he can afford to be." But it is because necessity with stern brow and with uplifted whip stands over you ready whenever you re'?.x y<?"r toil to make your shoulders sting with the huh. Can it be that passing up and down these streets on your way to work and business you do not learn. anything of the world's toil, and anxiety, and struggle? Oh, how many drooping hearts, how many eyes on the watch, how many miles traveled, how many burdens carried, how many losses suffered, how many battles fought, how many victories gained, how many defeats suffered. Low many exasperations endured—what losses, what hunger, what wretchedness, what pallor, what disease, what agony, what despair! Sometimes I have stopped at the corner of the street as the multitudes went hither and yon. and It has seemed to be a great pantomime, and as I looked upon it my heart broke. This great tide of human life that goes down the street is a rapid, tossed, and turned aside, and-flashei ahead, and driven back—beautiful in its confusion, and eo»6ised In Its beauty. In the carpeted aisles of the forest, In the woods from which ths eternal shadow is never lifted, on the shore of the sea over whose iron coast tosses the tangled foam sprinkling the cracked cliffs with a baptism of whirlwind and tempest, is the best place to study God; but in the rushing, swarming, raving street is the Sesi pl&oe ta study man. Going down to your place of business and coming home again, I charge you to look about—see these signs of poverty, -of wretchedness, of hunger, of *in, of bereavement—and', as"> you go through ike streets, ao4.«om« back through the street*!, .gather .JIB in.the arms of your prayer all the sorrow, all, the losses, all the sufferings, all the bereavements of those wbfsn yea pass, and present them in prayer before an all-sympathetic Got. la ihe great day of eternity there will be thousands of persons, with whom you 4a this worW never exchanged one WQXd, rise up and call you blussud; amd"there will be a theusaad lagers pointed at you in heaven, atria*: T h a i is tae man, Caat is the woma*. who helped me' fc I was bfcAgrF. «ad sick, aad wand fe 1 gat Ion. The surgeon must come away from his study of the human organism and Bet our broken bones. The chemist must conjo away from his laboratory, where he has been studying analysis and synthesis, and help us to understand the nature of the soils. I bless God that all classes of people are compelled to meet ou the street. The glittering coechwheel clashes against the scavenger's car.t. Fine robes run against the peddler's pack. Robust health meets wan sickness. Honesty confronts fraud. Every class of people meets every other class. Impudence and modesty, pride and humility, purity and beaatHness, frankness and hypocrisy, meeting on the same block, in the same street, in the same city. Oh! that is what Solomon meant when he said: "The rich and the poor meet together; the Lord is the maker of them all." x I like this democratic principle of the Gcspel cf Jesus Christ which recognizes the fact that we stand before God on one and the same platform. Do not take on any airs; whatever position you have gained In society, you are nothing but a man, born cf the same Parent, regenerated by the same Spirit, cleansed in the same blood, to lie down in the same dust, to get up in the same resurrection. It fs high time that we all acknowledged not only the Fatherhood of God, but the bro±herhGQ_d__of man. • * • • Again, thn street impresses me with the fact that it is a great field far Christian charity. There are hunger and suffering, and want and wretchedness, In tup country, but these evils chiefly congregate In our great cities. On everyi street crime prowls, and drunkenness staggers, and shame winks, and pauperism thrusts out its me, and I am waiting for taem to come." 0, yes, they are waiting for you. Men who have money, men who have tafluence, men of churches, men of great hearts, gather them In, gather them tn. It is not the will of your Heavenly Father that one of these lit tie ones should parjUih. Lastly, the street impress*! me with the fact that all the people ar<a look ing forward. I see expectancy written on almost every faoe X meet. Where you find a thousand people walking straight on. you only find one man stopping and looking back. The fact is, God made us all to look ahead, because we are immortal. In this tramp of the multitude on thr> streets, I hear the tramp of a great hoet, marching and marching for eternity. Beyond the office, the store, the shop, the street, there is a world, populous and tremendous Through God's grace, may you reach that blessed place. A great throng fills those boulevards, and the streets nre a-rush with the chariots of conquerors. The inhabitants go up and down, but they never weep and they never toil. A river flows through that city, with rounded and luxurious banks, and the trees of life laden with everlasting fruitage bend their brancnes into the crystal. No plumed Vearse rattles over that pavement, for they are never sick. With immortal health glowing In every vein, they know not how to die. Those towers of strength, those palaces of beauty, gleam in the" light of a sun that never sets. Oh, heaven! beautiful heaven! Heaven where our friends are! They take no census in that city, for it is inhabited by "a multitude which no man can number." Rank above rank. Host above host. Gallery above gallery, sweeping all around the heavens. Thousands of thousands. Millions of millions. Blessed are they who enter in through the gate into that city. Ch, start for it today! Through the blood of the great sacrifice of the Son of God, take up your march to heaven. "The Spirit and tho bride say, Come, and whosoever will, let him come and take the water of life freely." Join this great throng marching heavenward. All the doors of invitation are open. "And I saw twelye_gates, and the twelve"gates were twelve pearls." hand asking tor alms. Here, want is most equalld and hunger is most lean. A Christian man, going along a street in New York, saw a poor lad, and he stooped and gaid: "My boy, do you know how to read and write?" The boy made nc answer. The man asked the question twice and thrice: "Can you read and write?" and then the boy answered, with a tear plashing on the back of his hand. He said in defiance: "No sir; I can't read nor write, nether. Cod. sir, don't watst me to lead and write. Didn't he take &»ay my father so long ago I never remember to have seen him? and haven't I had to go along the streets to get something to fetch home to eat for the folks? and didn't I, as soon as I could carry a basket, have to go out anfi pick up cinders, and never have no schooling, sir? God don't want me to read, sir. I can't read, nor write neither." Oh, these poor wanderers! They have no chance. Born in degradation, as they get up from their hands and knees tc walk, they take .their first step on the sead to despairs/Let us go forth in the name of the .Lord .Jesus Christ to rescue them. Let us ministers not be afraid of soiling our black clothes while we go down on that mission. While we are tying an elaborate knot In our cravat, or while we are i s the study rounding off some period rhetorically, we might be saving a soul from death, and hiding a multitude of sins. O Christian laymen, go out on this work. If you are not willing to go forth yourself, then give of your means, and it you are too lazy to go, then gfet out of the way, and hide yourself in the dens and caves cf the earth, lest, when Christ's chariot comes along, the horses' hods trample you into the mire. Beware lest the thousands of the destitute of your city, in the last great day, rise up and curse your stupidity and your neglect. Down to work! LIfi them ui>I One cold winter's day, as a Christian man was going along1 the Battery in New York, he saw a little girl seated at the gate, shivering in the cold. He said to her: "My chi'd, what do you sit there for, this cold day?" "Oh," she replied, "I am waiting—I am waiting- for somebody to come and take care cf me." saM the man, "what makes Hut* for Karly Spring1. The selection of appropriate millinery for the early spring months is decidedly difficult. All interest has been lost in even the late winter hats, and, beside, they are apt to appear a II'.tie paseee, as fashions, more th?.n anything ejse, are liable to suddet: changes with or even without the slightest reayou think anybody will eome and take cam of y o a r "Ob," afar aaid, "my mother died last week, and I was crying very much, and she said: 'Don't cry. dfc«p though I A D *<%ne and yoar fatfcext la *«ne. tae Lprd win sand somebody to take care of you/ Mj mother « M r 4sU a lie; «•» ai#d some oat woald «osae aat take cat* of Then, again, there is a natural hesitancy to rush in the light summery creations on these fresh cool days; so the subject now to be considered is the unobtrusive but dainty demi-saison hats that are shown in beautiful profusion. A becoming "hat or bonnet certainly adds more to a woman's appearance than any other single article of outdoor apparel, and consequently should be selected with great care as to shape, color and general fitness. Hats this season show a marked tendency to return to the becoming downward cant of last summer, and thus afford a welcome shade to the eyes during the bright spring days. The hats, whoa tlU'i forward, are more easily worn by the vast majority than the flaring, fly-away effects so much in vogue during the winter. Toques in fibre cloth and cunningly woven straws will be extensively worn with both morning and afternoon toilets, while tulle hats are chosen for theater and reception wear. The tulle hat ia deserving of much consideration; it U unusually artistic, and has a fluffy graceful effect that can be obtained in no ether material. Ono beautiful tulle hat was fashioned with a small round crown and turned-up brim upon the turban style, the whole being made of small tuck-shirrings that induced a soft, ruffled appearance. Twisted pieces of tulle forsicd a bow at the center ot the front, aid through It were thrust two ornaments with enormous let tops and amber pins, which furnished all the decoration necessary. This seemingly simple hat required twenty yards of tulle in its construction and severai days of most tedious labor. A small hat of white tulle was covered with jetted black net and trimmed with long feather effects made of steel paillettes and caught upon the hat to the left of the center with a large cut-steel and Rhinestone buckle. Dainty soft tones of tulle are selected and embroidered with steel, gold or silver, or often brilliantly jeweled. Pale blue tulle sparkling with myriads of tiny Rhinestones was finished with two soft- white feathers artistically arranged in front, and running up the stem of the feathers were narrow black velvet ribbons upon which were fastened at regular intervals small Rhlaestone buckles. la case Canada beuomay a part of the United States, a native Missourian pro* poees the state motto for greater Amerka: "United wt stand, decided by Niagara Falls."

If that is so, don't give the baby j a lot of medicine; just use your every-day common sense and help nature a little, and the way to do it is to add half a teaspoonful of ^ ^ SCOTT'S EMULSION to the baby's food three or four times a day. The gain will begin the very first day you give it It seems to correct iht digestion and gets the baby started right again. If the baby b nursing but does not thrive, then the mother should take the emulsion.

'Marl-Landi In Michigan. I Prof. I. C. Russell, of the geological •department of the U. of M., has recently made an examination of marllands in the southern part of the state, land found remarkably favorable conttttiens. The marl, mixed with ordijanry «lay, is used in the manufacture •o f Portland cement, and Michigan will evidently take a leading place in this industry. The marl occurs as a highly calcareous or limy mud or ooze in the bottom of lakes and in marshes. It tonally contains shells and appears Jight colored or nearly white on drylag, but it sometimes darkened by orpranic matter. The swamp - lands where the marl occurs are usually con- • nidered as of little value, but they are tJy worth more per acre than the of agricultural land, and at the .present time are in demand. •• " The Same Old Way. • "Three months ago farmers in this fctate could not get 25 cents per bushel for their potatoes.

There fell a calm for a whole day after this, and while the Eugenie rolled lazily on the long glassy swellsf with her topsails flapping, and her courses hauled up, the sole amusement of the crew consisted in catching albatrosses, or In killing them, undeterred by the Old superstition that it was a bird of "good omen," or by the story of the "Ancient Mariner," of which they were probably ignorant. A flock cf these gigantic sea-bird3 congregated ur.der our stern, where they gobbled t?p everything that was thrown over to them; so Hislop and I proceeded methodically' to fish them on board. We procured strong lines, baited the hooks with pieces of pork, lashing thereto & buoy formed of a common cork, and lowered four of them over the stern. They had scarcely touched the water, when amid a furious flapping of heavy pinions, they were eagerly swallowed; the hooks and lines began to "be&r taughtly, and we soon had four gigantic albatrosses splashing the water into froth In their ineffectual efforts to escape. We towed them in, hand over hand, and after measurement found the smallest to be eleven feet from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other. Though rank and fishy in flavor, the flesh of these birds was made into sea-pies, on which the crew were regaled for two days after, and they partook of it with great apparent relish. But Jack is not very particular, especially when at sea. Though none of the crew shared the superstition connected with the destruction _oi_analbatross,and.prDba_bly_. none, save Hislop and myself, knew the splendid ballad written by Coleridge, it would seem as if our misfortunes commenced with that day's wanton sport! The huge sea birds became shy and left us. The sun set amid saffron-colored waves, and the western BkV was, all aflame, when the calls began to fill and collapse as the wind came in heavy puffs, causing the masts to sway from side to side, and the bellying courses to crack and flap with a sound like thunder. the courses were left fall, and with both sheets aft, for the wind was fair, the^Eugenie once more walked through the shining waters. Pull, round, and silvery the moon arose, and tipped with liquid light every wave, that seemed to dance onward with the brig, which in half an houj/ had the snow-white foam flying In Sheets over her catheads. It was afcoct the hour of 1 in the morning that the horrible events which I am about to relate occurred. I was in the middle watch, relieving Weston, who, as the tropical dews wers* heavy, always ordered Billy the cabin boy to give me a glass of brandy- and-water before going on deck, for ifear of ague, and then he turned in. The sullen Spaniard Antonio was at tthe wheel. Tom Lambcmrne, Ned Carlton and I were walking to and fro, loitering at times, and looking at the compass to see how she headed—now aloft to observe how the sails drew— anon over the side, where the water babbled merrily past, or ahead at the patch of blue and star-studded sky wbjch was visible under the leach of the tfore-course, as the brig's bow filled every now and then, and she rolled heavily from side to side, as all vessels do when running before the wind. All was very still, for, save the bubble of ihe water in the wake astern, or a gargle as it surged »up In the rudder caae, the creaking of a block, or the iron slings of the lower yards, not a sound stale upon tho first hour of the silent attorning. Two of tike albatrosses we had caught were hanging by the legs from •the gallows-top abaft the foremost, ftrheiy their peat extended wings swung somewhat mournfully to and. fro in the wind £nd by the motion r>t tto ship. <To be continued.) €»•• Trl*4 on Train. A few years ago a county court action was triad on a train.

Many women are denied the happiness of children through some derangement of the generative organs.- Actual barrenness is rare. Among the many triumphs of Lydia E.

ANOREWS EWTOH. THURSDAY, APR. 6, 1899. Good Words About A Former Plnckney Boy. We clip the following fro»h a Jackson (Neb.) county paper which will be of interest to many of our readers as Mr. Kearney was once a Piuckney boy: The Bank of Dakota County put in this week, a very complete electric day and night burglar alarm system which will make life a weary burden to the burglar or robber who first attemps to bold up the bank night or day. It is a complete automatic electric night alarm so arranged, that no person can approach either the outside safe or the vault or the burglarproof chest within the vault, without setting off a large alarm bell in the bank and also three other alarm bells placed outside the bank in other buildings where people sleep all night. It is also arranged that all the bells will ring continuously, when set cff for 365 davB if not stopped, something no self respecting burglar could stand. For day alarm, there are push buttons for hands and feet scattered all over the bank and in the -vault,by touching any one of which—the alarm bells will be sounded in the three outside places. The bank of Dakota Co. is probably the very best protected bank in Nebraska. It has a vault of clinker brick 20 inches thick all around, laid in best cenient, with three steel doors and 3$ feet of solid cement and rock in bottom. Inside iju An Easter program was given by the little folks at the M. E. church Sunday. N Mrs. Y.

Outside is a fire proof safe with burglar proof chest and both this and the vault safe are provided with best time locks. In addition to the above, the bank has a steel door and bars at back of building and carries burglar insurance which absolutely insures against robbery day or night &sd now the eleotric alarms fitting complete, makes the protection absolute. The depositers of the bank will appreciate Mr. Kearney.s efforts to spare no expense in protecting the valuables of the bank. Eugene Kearney of Sheldon, la., nephew of Canker Kearney has come here to work in the bank. Mr. Kearney's business is increasing to such an extent that he requires a clerk.

Arkansas Georgia—spel the suggestive word, "Vag." The British Medical Journal states that the paper used ia many brands of cigarettes contaiu arsenic. When arsenic is inhaled in small quanities it causes chronic cough, and other symptoms usually associated with consumption. Canon Wilberforce, preaching in Chichester cathedral, said he unflinchingyl declared that the licenad liquor traffic in our great cities was the peculiar fosterer of that particular class of out casts to which the poor victims of the Whitec'iapel murders belonged. Multitudes would be drawn out of the mire, would be disentangled from the network of evil round their feet, would be startled in the p ifehs of honor aud virtue, but for the frenzying temptation of the gin shop and the publicbouse. And no rescue work, no attempts to raise from the dust the daughters of our country's shame, would avail so long as the common sale of intoxicating liquor was permitted and encouraged by the state, and sanctioned or allowed to go unrebuked by the church. ~ ~ That the cigarette is a deadly poison is susceptible of the most positive proof. A few months ago I had all the nicotine removed from a cigarette, making a solution of it I injected half the quanity into a frog, with the feffect that the frog died iustantly.

Persons in cruciilxion often lingered on from day to day—crying, begging, cursing; but Christ had been exhausted by years uf maltreatment. Pillowlesa, poorly fed, flogged—as bent over and tied to a low post, his bare back was inflamed with the scourges Intersticed with pieces of lead and bone—and now for whole hours, the weight of his body hung on delicate tendons, and, according to custom, a violent stroke under the armpits had been given by the executioner. Dizzy, nauseated, feverish—a world ot agony is compressed In the two words: "I thirst!" O skies of Judea, let a drop of rain strike on his burning tongue! O world, with rolling rivers and sparkling lakes, and spraying fountains, yive Jesus something to drink! If there be any pity in earth or heaven or hell, let It how be demonstrated in beliaU of this royal sufferer. The wealthy women of Jerusalem used to have a fund of money wltri which they provided wine for those people who died in crucifixion—a powerful opiate to deaden the pain; but Christ would not take 't. He want«d to die sobe»v and so he refused the wine. But afterwards they go to a cup of vinegar and soaked a sponge in it, and put it on a stick of hyssop, and then press it against the hot lips of Christ. You say the-wine was uu anaesthetic and intended to relieve or deaden the pain. But the vinegar vas an insult. In some lives the saccharine seems to predominate. Life is sunshine on a bank of flowers. A thousand hands to clap approval. In December or in January, looking across their table, thT see all their family present. Kealtii rubicund. Skies flamboyant.

There are some of you who have n< t seen a well day for many years. By keeping out of dr? jhta, and by carefully studying dietetics, you continue to this time; but oh, the headaches, and the sideaches which have beau your accompaniment all the way through! You have struggled under a heavy .mortgage of physical disabilities, and instead of the placidity that once characterised you, it is now only with great effort that you keep away from irritability and sharp retort. Difficulties cf respiration, jof digestion, of locomotion make up the great obstacle ta your life, and you tug and sweat along the pathway, and wonder wiion the exhaustion will end. My# friends, the brightest crowns In heaven, will :ut be given to thGse who, In stirrups, dashed to the cavalry charge, whilo the general applauded and the sound of clashing sabers rang through tho lanJ; but the brightest crowns In heaven, I believe, will be given to those who trudged on amid chronic ailments which unnerved their strength, yet ail the time maintaining their faith iu God. It Is comparatively easy to fight in a regiment of a thousand men, charging up the parapet3 to the sound of martial music; but it io not so easy to endure when no one but the nurse and the doctor are the witnesses of the Christian fortitude. Besides .tha,t, you never had any pains worse than Christ's. The sharpness that st'ing through hl^ brain, through his hand3, through his feet, through his heart were as great as yours certainly. He was as sick and as weary. Not a nerve or musele or ligament escaped. All the pangs of all the nations of all the ages compressed into one sour cup. He took the vinegar! There is also the sourness of poverty. Your Income does not meet your outgoings, and that always give3 an honest man anxiety. There is no sign of destitution about you—pleasant appearance and a cheerful home for you; but God only knows what a time you have had to manage ycur private -finances: JUSTUS the bfljs Tiram'pnfie" wages seen: to run down. You may say nothing, but life to you is a hard push, and when you sit down with your wife, and talk over the expenses, you both rise up discouraged. You abridge here and you abridge there, and you cet things snug for smooth sailing, and lo! suddenly there i3 a large doctor's bill to pay, or you have lost your pocketbodk, or some debTof of them.

Oh, my friends, do not try to carry all your ills alone. Do not put your poor shoulder under the Apennines when the Almighty Christ is ready to lift up your burdens. When you have a trouble of any kind, you rush tht3 way and that way; and,you wonder what this man will say about it, and what that man will say about it; and you try this prescription, and that prescription, and the other prescription.

It is ab*nrd to suppose that a man who has always been well can sympathize with those who are sick, or fnal one who has always been honored con appreciate the sorrow of those who are despised, or that one who hay been horn to a great fortune can understand the distress and the straits of those who are destitute. The fact that Christ himeelf took the vinegar makes him able to sympathize today and for ever with all those whose cup is filled with the sharp acids of this life. He took the vinegar! In the first place, there was the sourness of betrayal. The treachery of Judas hurt Christ's feelings more thon all the friendship of his disciples did him good. You have had many friends; but there was one friend upon whom you put especial stress. You feasted him. You loaned him money. You befriended him In the dark passes of life, when he especially needed a friend. Afterward he turned upon you, and he tool: advantage of your former intimacies. He wrote against you. He talked against you. He mlcrosconised your faults. He flung contempt at you when you ought to have received nothing but gratitude. At first you could not sleep at nights. Then you went with a tense of having been That difficulty will never be though mutual ffif>n4s tans in the matter until you shall feanfe, the old cordialigr will come back. Now I commend to *a MOB the sympathy of * *etr»-ed has failed, and you are thrown abeamend. Well, brother, ycu are in glorious company. Christ owned not a house in which he stopped, or the colt on which he rode, or the boat in which he sailed. He lived in a borrowed house; he was burled in a borrowed grave. Exposed to all kinds of weather, yet he had cnly one viit of clothes. He breakfasted in the mcrning, &nd no one could possibly tell where h3 could get anything to eat before night. He would have been pronounced a financial failure. He had to perform a miracle to get money to pay a tax-bill. Not a dollar did he own. Privation of domesticity; privation of nutritiou* fcod; pilvaf-icn of a comfortable couch on which to sleep; privation of all worldly resources! The kings of the earth had chased chalices out of which to drink, but Christ had nothing but a days they saw•a sky. They signaled vessel caane nearer, the people- on the suffering ship cried to the captain of the tfther vessel. "Send'ns^merwater. We are dying for lack of water." And the captain on the vessel that was hailed responded: "Dip your buckftts where you are.

DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN NEWS A Company IIIM Been Organised to duoe » Heeoad Klondike at tbe Farla Exposition— A Taeoau Man Killed HU "Wife While Dreaming. War In the tensoan Itlands. The news from Samoa that the U. S. cruiser Philadelphia and the British cruisers Porpoise and Royalist had bombarded the towns held by Mataafa, who has thus far had the official support of the German government, came with startlrag suddenness to officials at Washington, and displaced for the time being the attention given to the fighting around Manila. The shelling of Mataafa was looked upon as of secondary importance but the deepest interest attached to the attitude of the German government. That some overt act would take place has been apprehended for many days but there was little idea it would take such a broad sweep and lead to such heavy loss of life. In this aspect of the case the actual results were regarded as far more serious than those which had been expected and provided for during the recent diplomatic exchanges between the three governments. Moreover, new elements of international danger had unexpectedly arisen. These included the proclamation of the German consul, Rose, which, it is believed, tended to incite the Mataafa party to an open revolt. Also the wounding and killing of British sailors and marines, the shooting of an American sentry and the attacks on the several consulates. WAR NOTES, Succession to German Thrones. Advices from Berlin says: Threre is a strpngly growing sentiment in favor of excluding foreign born princes from succession to German thrones. The death of the hereditary prince of Saxe- Coburg and Goths and the question of the throne of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha ^tare-started- a dise»ssion -which has taken a violent form in some of the papers. A member of the bundesrath has often discussed the matter during the past month, and that while nobody thinks of excluding the present heir to the throne of Coburg, some new legislation on the subject will .shortly be proposed in the bundesrath jointly by the German governments, and that later it will be sent to the reichstag. Shot His Wife in a Dream. Dr. Chas. Corey, of Tacoma, Wash., shot and killed his wife while, according to his story, the two were lying asleep. Corey was ill and his story of the affair is that he was laboring under a nightmare, believing his wife was being pursued by a stranger who was intent on killing her. Just as the pursuer was about to stab his wife, according to the dream, Corey fired two shots from his revolver. He awoke with a start to find himself sitting in bed with a revolver in his hand. The husband is nearly crazed with grief and friends are watching him to prevent his suicide. The naval board of promotion, con sisting of Rear-Admirals McNair, How ell and Howison, have completed and submitted its report. The. ep passes favorably on all the offlijers appointed, so that all questions of their advancement is removed. The list is as follows: Rear-Admirals George C. Remey, Norman H. Farquhar. John C. W&Uon, Henry B. Robson. Win field 8. Schley, Silas Casey, Wm. T. Sampson, Bartlett J. Cromwell, John W. Philip, Francis J. Higginson, Henry F. Picking, Frederic Rodgers, Louis Kempfl, Geo. \V. Sumner. As Mr. Robson has retired, Capt Benj. F. Day is made a rear-admiral. The fighting in the Philippines is still going on with a terrible loss of life. A report says Americans lost 45 kilted and 145 wounded in one day, which was much lighter than the previous day. The insurgent loss is not estimated, but is said to be very heavy. The latest advices is to the effect that the rebels fired Malabon and Polo and repeated to Malolos, where, it is believed, they will make their last stand. Our troops are in pursuit, capturing trench after vrench. In an answer to a letter from the postmaster-general of the army, requesting a decision as to the class of enlisted men of the regular army entitled to the benefits of extra pay on discharge from the army, Solicitor Tracewell of the treasury has decided that the men who enlisted for the war only and are entitled to extra pay are those who went in after the act of April 20, 1898, which authorized the increase of the regular army. Capt. O'Neill, chief of the ordinance bureau of the navy department, has forwarded to the secretary for his approval a form of circular advertising for bids for armor for the battleship Maine and the four monitors authorized last spring and the three battleships and three armored cruisers authorized by the last naval appropriation bill. Spanish officers acquainted with the Philippine islands continue to predict the failure of Maj.-Gen. Otis'campaign, notwithstanding the American Paccess. They say that while the Americans will undoubtedly win all the battles they wittlose^the campaignitsrtf;owing to the aptitude of the Tagalos to conduct u war of surprises and ambuscades. Secretary Alger has reported a favorable condition of affairs in Cuba and has expressed the opinion that more troops than are now in the island will not be needed. After the volunteers ave sent home, there will be 14 regiments with a total of IS,000 men in Cuba, making two regiments of regulars to each province. Klondike at the ParU Exposition. An in port ant corporation has just been organized under Canadian and New York auspices, to exploit to the world at the Paris exposition a perfect representation of life and work in the Yukon territory including ail phases of mining, by men direct from the Klondike. An exact counterpart will be built representing a portion of the main street of Dawson. There will be Indian villages, dog teams, together with moving pictures, the latter to be the result of an entirely new machine which Thos. A. Edison is now constructing. S1.0O0,OwO for rive Steamer*. It is learned on good authority that the American Steel & Wire Co. has secured control of the five steamers of the Zenith Transit Co. The vessels sold are the steamers Queen City, Empire City, Zenith City, Superior City and Crescent City. They are all of the largest class, and the deal is the largest ever made on the great lakes. The fire steamers are valued at upwards of €1,000,000.

Three more of the band of brigands that had been operating in the San Luis district have been captured, and the entire band is now in custody. Among those arrested charged with complicity in acts of brigandage are several former insurgent officers, all cf whom, however, assert their innocence. The six additional mountain guns asked for by Gen. Otis a short time ago are now on their way to Manila. These guns are 2 pounders and can be taken anywhere that mules or men can go. Geu. Gtis has eight of these guns, besides four 12-pounders of the Actor battery. As soon as Gen. Otis achieves a decisive victory over Aguinaldo, the Philippine commission will issue a proclamation promising amnesty to all natives who lay down their arms and self-rule to those who recognize the sovereignity of the United States. Malolos, the insurgent capital, has been taken, and the rebels arc now with Aguinaldo and his cabinet north of the capital. The American loss was 4 killed and 23 wounded. Before the insurgents retreated they applied tUe torch to their former capital. As soon as the Sheridan arrives at Manila Gen. Otis will have 1,900 reinforcements. Besides this six regiments of infantry and artillery, comprising 8,000 men, one regiment of which has started, are under orders for Manila. Hsrry Huber, aged 20, a member of the hospital corps with the 1st California volunteers, was literally cut to pieces by the Filipinos, while acting as a spy. His home was in Oakland, California. The Americans have won a sweeping victory over Aguinaldo's forces. Tbe American loss was 100 killed and wounded, and the Filipinos between 900 and 300. The American casualties for tbe three days' hard fighting was 53 killed and 211 wounded. The total number of American catuaKieaueiaee Feb. 4 U 157 killed 8*4 An Excellent Combination.

"He must have crept behind the longboat and got into tha forecastle," suggested Carlton. 'I'll bring him up with a round turn for playing this trick," grumbled Lambourne. "Hush," said I, as a strange sound fell upon my ear. "What is it?" f-ked the others, listening. "A cry—did you not hear it?" "No—nonsense!" said they, together. "It was a cry that came from somewhere.'! "I'did'hear something," said Will White; 'but it was a sheave creaking In a block aloft, I t'hink." "No, nc." said I, pausing by the capstan, as a terrible foreboding seized me; "it came from the cabin."

We all rushed aft to tWcooapafiloa, and at that instant Antonfo Bprang up the cabin stair. By the clear splendor Of the tropical moonlight we could *9$ that his- usually swarthy' visage was paie as 'deaths while his black eyes biased like two burning coals. He grasped his unsheathed knife,the blade of which, as well as his hands and, clothes, were covered with blood! My heart grew sick with vague apprehension, and my first thought was for a weapon; but none was aear. "What have you been about, you rascally picaroon—and why did you leave the wheel?" shouted Lambourne, becoming greatly excited; "the masts might have gone by the board—what devil's work have you been alter be-r low?" Then the dark Spanish ereole grinned, as the blood dripped from his hands on the white and moonlit deck. "Knock him down with a handspike, Carlton," added Lambourne, who could not leave the wheel; "knock him down—the shark-faced ewabf' On hearing this, Antonio drew from his breast a revolver pistol, one of a pair which we knew always hung loaded in Weston's cabin, and fired Straight, at the head of Carlton—who dodged the shot, which killed the seaman named Will White, who stood behind him. The ball pierced the brain of the poor fellow, who bounded convulsively nearly three feet from the deck; he fell heavily on his face and never moved, again, tojr he was dead—dead as a stone. In its suddenness this terrtbfcr deed paralyzed us with horror, not unmixed with fear, as we were all unarmed and completely in the power of this Spanish demon, the report of whose pistol brought all №« startled crew tumbling over each other out of.the forecastle. "Aha, maldita! Santos y Angeles!" said the -Spaniard, Waring the pistol, die muzzle of which yet smoked, toward us la a halt circle, as A tvsnilng for all to stand back; "did you this* to n»"yonr rig* upon me? I am address, the half of which was scarcely understood by our men, as it was said in Spanish. "Basta!" (avast) I see that you do understand," he resumed; "and now begin by obedience. Throw this carrion— thsi bestia muerta—overboard". But parceiving how we all shrank back— "Overboard with him!" he added, brutally kicking the inanimate body of poor Will White; "or demonio, I shall send the first who disobeys me to keep him company." He grasped me by the hand—his hateful clutch was firm as a smith's vise—and then he leveled his pistol at the head of Ned Carlton. For a moment the latter stood irresolute, and then, seeing the black muzzle of the revolver within a foot of his head, he muttered a deep malediction, stampod bis foot with rage on the deck, and said: "Mr. Rcduey, bear a hand with me to launch this murdered man—this poor fellow—overboard"! "Obey!" thundered Antonio. Like one in a dream I bent over the dead man, on whose pal'o face, glazed eyes and relaxed Jaw the bright moonlight was shining, and in my excitement and bewilderment I nearly slipped and fell into the pool of blood which flowed from his death v/ound. I had never touched a corpse before, and an irrepressible shudder ran through all my veins. But, that emotion once over, I could have handled a dozen with perhaps indifference; and there are few who, after touching the dead, have cot experienced this change of feeling. Ned Carlton, with a sound like a sob in his honest breast—a sob of mingled rage and commiseration—raised the yet warm body; I took the feet, and through one of the quarter-boards, which was open, we launched it into the great deep, and as the brig flew on, rolling before the early morning wind, there remained no trace of poor Will White, but his blood, a dark pool upon the deck, and the crew stood staring at it and at each other with blank irreeolattoa, horror and dismay expressed in ail their faces. Erapty-haaded aad defenseless as we all were, each was afraid to apeak or act, leet he might be the next victim whom the merciless Cubano would ihootdown. With a growl of defiance Antonio now turaed away, and, brandishing th& revolver in token of the obedieibce he meant to exact, he descended slowly into the cabin, where we soon heard him £m&shta£ .open the lockers, aad busy with the case-bottles in the steward's locker, or Billy the cabin boy's pantry. His departure seemed a relief to all, bat in hali a minute after he was gone below little Bill; . or "Boy Bill," as he was usually termed, whose sleeping place was the steerage, rushed up the cabin stair in his shirt and ran among u£, sobbing with fear and dismay.

Scmei time elapsed before the ppor boy became sufficiently coherent to be understood, but it would seem that on. hearing the first cry, which had &larv-«d me, he sprang o&t of his berth, which was at the foot of the companion way,, and on looking iuto the cabin, he saw' by the night light which swung in the skylight, the Cub&Bc, armed with a bloody kntfe> rush from the captaln'3 state room into that of the mate, which waa opposite. Another choking cry acquainted him. that Antonio had stabbed Hislop in Ills sleep; and fearing that his own turn would come next, he had crept Into an empty cask which lay below the companion- ladder, and remained there, trembling with dread, until he took an opportunity of rushing on deck and joining us. This terrible revelation added to cur dismay. We were now in a desperate predicament, without a captain or mate to navigate the brig, and *t the mercy of a well-armed desperado, to whom homicide was a pastime; thus, all who had handled him so severely on the night we crossed the line began to feel no small .degree, of alarm for their own safety, being certain that men Mood woitfd be shed the moment he .came on deckL . . .

Lambourne ventured to peep down the skylight, when he saw Antonio drinking brandy from a case bottle, without troubling himself with a glass. Then the Spaniard proceeded to attire himself in the best clothes of Captain Weston; be forced open several lockfast places, and took from them money and Jewelry, which he concealed about his person. What his ultimate object could be in performing these acts of plunder on the open sea, we could neither conceive nor divine. bu;t on chancing to glance upward, he caught a glimpse of Tom's eyes peering down. There was an explosion, a crashing of gliss and a ball from a revolver, fired upward, grazed Tom's left car and pierced the rim of his sou'-wester as a hint that our Cubano had no intention of being overlooked in his operations below. We heard him close the cabin door with a bang, and after locking it, throw himBelf on the floor behind it, with the intention of sleeping, probably, but with the full resolution that no one should enter without disturbing him; aud in this way, after examining his pistols, he reposed every night afterward while on board. "By jingo! I thought the killing o* them birds would lead to bad luck somehow," said Henry Warren, an old foremast man, with a reproachful glance at me, as he threw the two albatrosses overboard. We now held a solemn conference to meet the emergency which was certain to come anon, and to consider the be3t means of subduing and disarming the culprit. "Whoever goes nigh him in the cabin, either by the door or the skylight, risks being stabbed or shot," said Tattooed Tom; "so we must go to work some other way, shipmates, and that other way must be considered." "We might close and batten the Bkylight and companionway, and then starve or smoke him out," suygested one of the crew, Francis Probart, our carpenter. "Smoke him out?" echoed Tcrrou "Yes, as we do rats." ' "By what?" "Fill a bucket with spun yatx* and greaBed flax, with sulphur and bilgewater— ain't that the medical compound for rats?" "Nonsense," said Tom; "you vmild burn the ship " "As he has often threatened to do," eald Carlton, "and may do yet," A most extraordinary scheme was proposed by one man—that we B^ould launch the longboat, throw into her eome bags of bread and gang-casks of water, trcship the compass, doublebank the oars, and shove off for the coast of South America, after scuttling the brig and leaving Antonio to his fale.We were in a horrible state of perplexity, and I seemed to see constantly before me the gashed bodies of my two kind, brave and hospitable friends —Captain Weston and Marc Hislop— lying in their berths dead and unavenged, with their destroyer beside them! We had the capstan-bars, and with these it wae proposed to assail him when next he came on deck. Then we had the carpenter'B tools, among which a hand-saw, an auger, an adze and a hatchet, made very available weapons, and these, with the old cutlass and harpoons which figured on the night we crossed the line, were speedily appropriated. I was armed with a heavy claw-hammer, and, mowing firmly to stand by each other, we resolved to lynch Antonio the moment he came out of his den. While we were thus employed in devising the means of punishment, the dark shadows of night passed away; the morning sun came up iz his tropical splendor, and the blue vravee of the southern sea rolled around us in light, but not a sail was visible on their vast expanse. The crew seemed pale and excited, as they might well be, and, with buckets of water we cleansed the deck from the blood that stained i t The morning advanced into noon, and the vessel was steered her due course, for the wind was still fair. Ned Carlton was at the wheel, and the men were all grouped forward, when suddenly Antonio- appeared on deck with a knife in his sash and a revolver in each hand.

How unfortunate that those people who beat know how to run a newspaper are invariably engaged in some other business. Hundreds of people in Jackson were attacked at about the same time last week by a species of intuenza, becoming hoarse, and afterwards developing a cough. A flock of germs apparently struck the city in a bunch. Beginning Tuesday all mail matter sent from post offices will be weighed before being sent and all mails on trains will be weighed when received. This is done once in four years and coutinues for 40 days and in this way the es-! timates are made for carrying the mails on railroads for the succeeding four rears.—Local Republican. The newest scheme which is being worked on the Michigan farmer is a smooth agent to secure permission to tack up a few signs on the farmer's barns and fences, and then ask the unsuspecting granger to sign an agreement not to "tear downthe signs for ninety days. Three months later the farmer who was siinpW enough to put his name to the paper is notified that his note at ninety days, for $300, is due.

The law provides that no one shall serve as village treasurer more than two years in succession, but in many places this provision was completely over looked and competent treasures re-elected for a third term. The Farm Journal is unlike any other paper; for oue thing it prints no quack medical advertisements; for another it takes five-year subscriptions and gets the paper to its subscribers the full time if they are anywhere on this planet, even if they move two or three times; if they die their heirs get i t Now we are going to send the Farm Journal for the balance of 1899 and all of 1900, 1901, 1902 and 1903, nearly five years, to every advance paying subscriber to the DISPATCH, but better speak quick, as we have only a limited number of Farm Journals to offer on these terms. feathers, wash themselves and fly to their nest, expect rain.

Of every 200 persons who reach the age of 40 years, 125 are married and 7$ unmarried, At 60 years the proportions are 48 to 22; at 70 years, 27 to 11; and at 90 years, 9 to 3. Fifty centenarians had all been married. The doctor asserts that that the rate of mortality for husbands and wives between the ages of 30 and 45 years is 16 per cent, while that for unmarried persons is 28 per cent. A short time ago, the roof of the stand pipe attached to the water works at Napoleon, Ohio, was blown off in a heavy wind storm, and the upper part of the ladder leading to the top was carried with it. J^u ingenious plan for replacing the roof was adopted and successfully carried out. The water was withdrawn from the stand pipe and a raft built on inside. Water was then turned on, and the raft laden with workmen and utensils was gradually raised at the rate of about 25 feet an hou r. Five hours were required to make the ascent1 Hooks and pulleys were then attached to the pipe and material was drawn up from the outside, while the men repaired the dam- «f a method formerly employed ia University Items, The monthly averages of the University hospital for March, '99 are the largest on record, those of February '99 being the second largest.

Conrad and Jcnes, of West Grove, Pa., the largest growers of cannas and roses in America, have arranged, through Dr. Schlotterbeck ofi the pharmaceutical department of the University of Michigan, to make a large floral display on the campus the coming summer. Over five hundred canna plants, comprising ten of the finest and most extensive varieties, have already arrived in Ann Arbor and will be set out as soon as tbe weather permits. These with fifty hardy sHubs, such as roses, spiraeas, althaeas, etc., will be placed in four large circular beds.

The following extracts are from the work: Neal Don was born March 20, 1804 and died Oot 2, 1897. He was a man of wide experience, | often helping important positions, such as director of banks, manufacturing, railroads and other corporations. Ba served as Colonel and afterwards as Brigadier- General in the war for the Union; was twice wounded in battle and for many months a prisoner of war. To Neal Don, world-wide fame came through his long and self-sacrificing services for temperance.

Low small; traveling hundreds of miles in his own conveyance. No hamlet was so small that he did not reach it He prepared and circulated petitions to the Legislature for a prohibitory law. In season and out of season, upon every available opportunity whenever he thought it would aid his object, he proclaimed his abhorrenoe of the liquor trade and his determination to surpress it and to oppose all who favored it. He became the object of hostility. Incendaries fired his buildings; ruffius attacked him in the. street; rascals assailed his house with missils though always to their discomfort But undaunted he kept on his course convinced that he was making progresss, perhaps slowly, but surely. In 1851 Mr. Don was elected mayor of Portland, Maine, by a larger vote than ever before given then to a mayoralty candidate. Clothed now with official influence he appeared before a legislative committee with a draft of prohibitory law. The bill passed both houses and was approved by the Governor June 2, 1851, and has ever since been known as "The Maine Law". In 1855 he was again elected mayor. Two or three years later he was elected to the legislature. In 1857 and twice after at the invocation of the United Kingdom Uliance, he visited Great Britain iud without compensation devoted more than four years ^of ime to the advocacy of prohibition- before great audiences.

In the midst of conditions existing at that time to declare the liquor traffic hurtful in effect, it was regarded as an insult to the intelligent and as an impeachment of the integrity of the most respectful citizen. To urge its suppression was to incur the hostility of leaders in every walk of life. But convinced that no progress could be made while the liquor traffic was legally considered neccessary and respectful, Mr Don aimed to strip it of legal indorsement and to this end to convince the people that the trade was infamous through exposing it as the prolific parent of poverty, misery and crime. It is impossible to follow him through this work—it covered years. He addressed large meetings and Robbed tbe tirare A startling incident of which Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject is narrated by him as follows: "I was in a most dreadful condition, my skin was almost yellow, ey63 sunken, tongue eoated, pain continually-in back no appetite, gradually growing weaker day by day.

' The suggestion to tax grain has been brought forward In the legislature of North Dakota, where it has been embodied in a concurrent resolution for a constitutional amendment. This provides that the legislative assembly tnay tax wheat, flax and oats and barley grown in the state and storeu in the elevators or kept for seed at a rate of not to exceed half a cent a bushel on wheat, the game on flax, a third of a cent on barley and a quarter of a cent on oats. At present the grains grown In the state pa y practically no taxes. The millions of bushels of wheat grown In the state are threshed and disposed of between assessments. The rate of a quarter, to half a cent a bushel, if applied to the mill ions of bushels of the varioue grains grown in the state, would, it 1* said, produce a revenue exceeding- 1250,000 . How the measure is likely to be received generally is not yet apparent from the adrices at band. : From out the smoke and carnage o! the late war, one incident shines like a star in a cloudy sky. It is that of the military funeral in Santiago last November of the body- of General Vara del Rey...

The rose may have disputed her throne in modern tlmea, and won it; but the rose originally had only five petals. It was under the long-continued and intense gaze of the world that the rose blushed into its present beauty. In the Bible train, cassia and hyssop and frankincense and myrrh and spikenard and camphire and the rose follow the lily. Fourteen times in the Bible is the Uly mentioned; only twice tho rose. The rose may now have wider empire, but the lily reigned in the time of Esther, in the time of Solomon, in the timo of Christ. Caesar had his throne on the hills. The lily had her thranie in the valley. In the greatest settaon that was ever preached there was only one flower, and that a lily. The Bedford dreamer, John Bunyan, entered the House of the Interpreter, and was shown a cluster of flowers, and was told to "consider the lilies." We may study pr reject other sciences at our option. It Is RO with astronomy; it is so with chemistry; it Is so with jurisprudence; it is so with physiology; it is so with geology; but the science of botany Christ commands us to study when he says: "Consider the Iilie6." Measure them from root to tip of petal. Inhale their breath. Notice the gracefulness of their poise. Hear the whisper of tb» white lips of the Eastern and the red lips of the American Illy. Belonging to this royal family of lilies Is the Uly of the Nile, the Japan lily, the Lady Washington of the Sierras, the golden band lily, the giant lily of Nepaul, the Turk's cap lily, the African lily from the Cape of Good Hope. All these lilies have the royal blood in their veins. But I take the lilies of my text this morning as typical of all flowers, and their voice of floral beauty seems to address us, saying, "Consider the lilies, consider the azaleas, consider the fuchsias, consider the geraniums, consider the ivies, consider the hyacinths, consider the heliotropes, consider the oleanders. With deferential and grateful and worshipful souls, consider them, Not with insipid sentimentalism, or with sopbomorlc vaporing, but for grand and practical and every-day, and, if need be, homely uses, consider them. The flowers are the angels of the^ When •ot for** s+rta > « * * * «U* >*ir They ail have voices, the clouds speak, they thunder; when the whirlwinds speak, they scream; when the cataracts speak, they roar; but when the flowers speak, they always whisper. 1 stand here to interpret their message. What have you to say to us, O ye angels of the grass? Th<«i morning I mean to discuss what no*ers are good fuf. T h »t is xny subject— What are flowers good for? I remark, in the first place, they are good for lessons of God's providential care. That was Christ's first thought. All these flowers seem to address, us today, saying, "God will give you apparol and food. We have no wheel with which to spin, no loom with which to weave, no sickle with which to hirvest.no well-sweep with which to draw water; but God slakea our thirst with the dew, and God feeds ns With the bread of tho sunshine, and God has appareled U3 with more than Solomonic regality. We are prophetesses of adequate wardrobe. "If God so clpthed \is. the grais. of the field, wUl he not much more clothe you, 0 ye of little faith?" Men and women of worldly anxieties, take this message home with you. How long has God taken ?are of you? Quarter of the Journey cf life? .Half the-journey of life? Tnree-Quartera ot the journey of life? Can you not trust hiic the rest oi the way? God "does not promise you anything like that which ths Roman emperor -had on his taftte at vast expense—five hundred nightingales' tongues—but he has promised to take care of you. He has promised you the necessities, not the luxuriesbread, not cake. If God so luxuriantly clothes the grass of the field, will he not provide for you, his living and immortal children? He will. If you aak me the question, What are flowers good for? I respond, they are good for the bridal day. The bride must have them on her brow, and she must hare them, in her band. The marriage altar must be covered with them. A wedding without flowers would be as Inappropriate as a wedding without music. At such a time* they are for congratulations and prophecies. <jf «pod. r So much of the. w+o<!fht^t& cover 4fc* feegl**- Flowart art appropriate At iack occasions, for is nUuty-ni»e,oat of a hundred casea.it4s't*e very'besi thing that could have happened. The world "it an in- » i l*i«*fbrows la wedded lil% -before they have begun arranges for the best So that flowers, in almost all cases, are appropriate for the marriage day. The dlveraencts of diaposUtoa will become corjeepoadeneee, reckleesneai wUl become prudence, trivtAUy will be turned Into pr*ct4o|lltp.i There has bean many an aged widowed son! who had a barefully locked bureau, and la the bagstau a box, and in toe bo* a tojded papasv aad in the folded paper a half-blown rose, slightly fragrant, discolored, carefully pressed. So* pat it U m i Iwty or fifty years ago. pa the anniversary of her wedding she will go to the bureau, she will lift the box, she will unfold the paper, and to her eyes will be exposed tbe half-blown bud, and the memories of the past will rush upon her, and a tear will drop upon the flower, and suddenly it is transfigured, and there is a stir in the dust of the anther, and it rounds out, and It is full of life, and it begins to tremble in the procession of the church atele, and the dead music of a half century ago comes throbbing through the air, and. vanished faces reappear, and right hands are joined, and a manly voice promises, "I will, for better or worse," and the wedding march thunders a salvo of joy at the departing crowd; but a sigh on that anniversary day scatters the scene. Under the deep-fetched breath, the oower3, the congratulating groups are scattered, and there is nothing left but a trembling band holding a faded rosebud, which is put into the paper, and then into the box, and the box carefully placed in the bureau, and with a sharp, sudden click of tho- lock the scene is over. Ah, my friends, let not the prophecies of the flowers, on your wedding day, be false prophecies. Be blind to each other's faults. Make the m.Q4t of each other's excellences. Remember the vows, the ring on the third finger of the left hand, and the benediction of the calla lilies. If you ask me the question, What are flowers good for? I answer, They are good to honor and comfort the obsequies. The worst gash' ever made into the side of our poor earth, is the gash of the grave. It Is so deep, it is go cruel, it is so incurable, that it needs something to cover it up. Flowers for the casket, flowers for the hearse, flowers for tho cemetery. What a '-ontrast between a grave in a cewtry churchyard, with the fence broken down, and the tombstone aslant, and the neighboring cattle browsing amid the mullein Etalks and the Canada thistles, and a June morning in Greenwood, the wave of roseate btoem rolling to the top of the mounds, and then breaking Into foaming crests of white flowers aih^trotmri tberptttows of dust! It Is the difference between sleeping under rags and sleeping under an embroidered blanket. We want Old Mortality with bis chisel to go through all the graveyards in Chrlstendom.and while he carries a ci^el in one hand, we wont Old Mortality to have some ilower seed in the palm of the other V°nd. * * * It was left for modern times to spell respect for the departed and comfort for the living in letters of floral Gospel.

The Bible says: "In the midst of the garden there was a sepulchre." I wish that every sepulchre might be in the midst of a garden^. It you ask me the question, what are flowers good for? I answer, for religious symbolism. Have you ever storied Scriptural flora? The Bible is up arboretum, It is a divine conservatory, It is an herbarium of exquisite ber.oty. If you want to illustrate the brevity of the brightest human life, you. will quote from Job: "Man comet^^otth as a flower and is cut down." Or yo£ wilt quote from the Psalmiec: "AM tfce flower of the field, so he perlshetft; the wind paseeth over it, and it is jpfte? Or you will quote from Isaiahi',\i-;-VJttf flesh is grass, and the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field." Or yon will quote from James the Apestie: "As the flower of the gras*>4ttfce posgeth away." What graphic Bible symbolism! All the cut flowers will soon beCji&i, whaterer^ care you tajco of * 6S[em« Though morninj and night yoac >iptiie them in the naae of the showor* the bapttsm win not be to them l e a v - ing ordinance.

The cowslip must leave Its gold, the lily must leave it* silver, the rose must leave its diamond necklace of morndng dew. Dust to duet So we come up, we prosper, we ipread abroad, we dio, as the flower—-as the flower! Change and decay in all around I see; 0 thou who change*! sot, abide with me! Flowers also afford mighty symbolbua cf Christ, who compared himself to the ancient queen, the Uly, aad the modern queen, the rose, -when he said: "I am the rose of 8haron, and the lily of the valley." Redolent like the one, humble like the other. Like both, appropriate for the sad who want sympathisers, and for the rejoicing who want banqueters. Hovering over tho marriage ceremony like a wedding-bell, or folded like a chaplet on the pulseless heart of the dead. Oh, Christ! let tho perfume of thy name be wafted all around the earth—lily and rose, lily aud rose—until the wilderness crimson into a garden, and the round earth turn into one great bud of Immortal beauty laid against the warm heart of God. Snatch down froiii the world's banners eagle and lion, and jm-t en lily and rose, lily and rose. But, my friends, flowers hH.-e no grander use than when on Easter morning we celebrate the re-animation of Christ from the catacombs. Th9 flowers spell resurrection. There is not a nook or corner in all the build- Ing but is touched with the incense. The women carried spices to the tomb of Christ, and they dropped spices all around the tomb, and from these spices have grown all the flowers of Easter morn. . T h e two white-robed angels that hurled the stone away from the door of the tomb, hurled it with such violence down tho hill that it crashed in the door of the world's sepulchre, and millions of dead shall come forth. However labyrinthine the mausoleum, however costly the sarcophagus, however architecturally grand the necropolis, however beautifully parterred the family grounds, we want them all broken up by the Lord of the Resurrection. The forms that we laid away with our brokeo hearts must rise again. Father and mother—they must come out. Husband and wife—they must come out. Brothers and slaters— they must come out. Our darling chil-^ dren—they must corae out The eyes that with trembling fingers we closed, ciu£t open in the luster of Resurrection morn. Tbe arms that we folded in death must join ours in embrace of reunion. The beloved voice that was hushed must be retu^ed. The beloved form must come up without its infirmities, without its fatigues—it must come up. Oh, how long It seems for some of you! Waiting—waiUag for the Resurrection! How long! how long! I make for your broken hearts today a cool, soft bandage of lilies. I comfort ycu thi3 day with the thought of resurrection. When Lord Nefeon w&4 buried In St. Paul's Cathedral in London, the heart of all England was stirred. The procession passed on amid the sobbing of a nation. There were thirty trumpeters stationed at the door of the Cathedral, with instruments of music in hand, waiting for the signal, and when the illustrious dead arrived at the gates of St. Paul's Cathedral, these thirty trumpeters gave cne united blast, and then all was silent. Yet the trumpets did not wake the dead. He slept right on. But I have to tell you, what thirty trumpeters could not do for one man, one trumpeter will do fot all nations. The ages have rolled on, aad the clock of tha worlds destiny Etrikes nine, ten, eleven, twelve, and time shall be no longer! Behold tie archangel hovering! He takes the trumpet, points it this- way, puts its lips to his lips, and then blows ore long, loud, terrific, thunderous, re* verberati&g and resurreotlonary blast! Look, look! They rise! The dead— the dead! some coming forth from the family vault; some from the city cemeter/; some from the country graveyard. Here a spirit is joined to its body, and there another spirit is joined le another body, and millions of departed spirits are assorting the bcdlee, and then re-clothing themselves' in forms radiant f?v ascension. 'n»e earth begins to burn—the bonfire of a great victory. All ready,, now for the procession of reconstructed humanity! Upward and away! Christ leads and all the Christian dead follow, battalion after battalion, nation after nation. Up, up! Os, on! Forward, ye ranks of God Almighty! Lift up your heads, y» everlasting gates; and let the conqueror* come in! Resurrection! Resurrection. And so I twist alt the festal flowers of the chapels and cathedrals of all Christeitdbm into on* great chain,' and with that chain / bind the flatlet mornjfig of ISM with the closing Easter of the world's history—Resurrection!

Uany Thlngi Were Different—Now-»-d»y» the Public Profit by Experience. When the striped polo or sign which now indicates a barber shop was employed to let the public know where cupping or bloodletting W&K professionally performed, close shaves were of daily occurrence; not tho easy remoral of tbe hirsute or hairy adornment of the head and face, but close from entering eternity. More than one unfortunate entered the barber- surgeon's doorway to leave it a corpse or so weak that weeks were required to get the victim of malpractice on his feet. Bloodletting was used for everything, from a heartache to a corn, and a pain in the loins was invariably treated with two Incisions, one o n ^ c h bide of the spine. Lake plasters and liniments, these helped from the counter irritation they created, and we presume £aab had- №r.

Cuban SolJlers Said to be Murderer*. The steamer Montserrat has left Havana for Spain, having on board 200 (Spanish passengers, formerly residents of Cuba, aud mostly small merchants. There have recently been at least three authenticated murders of Spaniards in the country and in some cases men of property have been killed. If it is known n? ho the murderers are the fact has not developed, though there are men in Havana who say there is evidence pointing to Cuban soldiers being the guilty parties and that since Gen. Gomez was deposed from the post of Commander-in-chief of the Cuban forces the Cubans have not had a head to rig idly enforce discipline and punish crime. ' liulgarlans and Turks at War. 1 A serious collision has taken placebetween Bulgarian and Turkish frontier guards at Kozyl-Agob, between Jamboli, eastern Roumelia, and Adrianople, on the bonks of the Toonja, 156 miles south of Jamboli. According to a dispatch from Sofia, capital of Bulgaria, the Turks attacked, a weak Bulgarian outpost, but the Bulgarians, aided by armed iixhabitants, repnlsed their assailants after a four hour* light. Both sides suffered losses of killed and wounded. The Tories were seeking to secure a position hitherto held by the Bulgarians. ; ' ' ; To the Disarmament Congress. The secretary of state has announced the constitution of the United States delegation to the disarmament congress which will meet at The. Hague in the latter part of May. The dele; ffatlon consists of Andrew White, U. 8. ambassador at Berlin; Mr. Newell, U. S. minister to the Netherlands; President Seth Low, of the Columbia university. New York; Capt.

The attorney-general, iq bis reply, holds that the section in question doe* uot prohibit the continuance of the sale of intoxicating drinks throughout the canteen sections, as heretofore organized and carried on, except that no officer or enlisted man can he detailed for duty In the canteen section to do the selling. A dispatch from Havana says that the local newspapers revive the rumor that Gen. Ludlow is to be transferred from Havana to the Philippines, and that Gen. Lee Is to be made the head of the new Occidental department. Gen. Lee's appointment would be an excel* lent one from a political point of view, for he has the cordial friendship of nearly all the elements in the population there, nnd has had a chance to gala a-valuable insight into the workings pf the Cuban character. It is now believed that the backbone of the rebellion in the Philippine Islands Is broken. Many of the natives have already laid down their arms and are returning to their homes. Those who have surrendered, and have learned that the promises of good treatment are fulfilled, are inducing their relatives to return to their homes, and thus it is believed the war will finally be brought to a close, or rather confined to the habitual revolutionists. "Four bundits, among them Antonio Nunez, a notorious desperado, were recently captured five miles from San Luiz after a lively fight with the men of the 9th immune regiment and taken to Santiago and locked up. A regular battle, however, has taken place near Holguin, between the bandits and men of the 2d immune regiment, two outlaws and one soldier being killed. Further serious trouble is anticipated at Holguin and Guantanomo. The Cuban military assembly at Havana has voted to disband the army and to dissolve. The muster rolls were left in the possession of the executive committee oT~the assembly, who will facilitate the preparation of copies for Gov.-Uen. Brooke. The army question id now considered settled and the Cuban soldiers will receive their respective share of the $3,000,000. According to Gen. Bates, who has been inspecting U. 3. troops in Cuba, the 31st Michigan volunteer regiment will receive orders to go home within the next two weeks. This is good news to most of the members of the regiment, as they are anxionsly looking forward to. the time when thsycan return home. The United States cruiser Charleston, which, has been cruising along the west coast of Luzon to the north, sent a boat in shore near Dagupan the other day to make soundings. The rebels opened fire, wounded a United States officer. The cruiser thereupon bombarded the town, the insurgents evacuating it. There are persistent rumors afloat in Manila that Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader, has been supplanted in the control of Filipino affairs, by Gen. Antonio Luna, Commander-in-chief of the Filipino forces. Luna is described as being a typical beligerent and a second Weyler. Acting Secretary Allen, of Washington, has received a letter from the manager of the Neptuae Co., the great Sweedlsh wrecking corporation, announcing that it is not possible to raise and repair the vessels of Cevera's fleet sank near Santiago. (ien. Otis has cabled the war department that the transport Sherman has left Manila with 100 wounded soldiers, which included all that were able to be sent home at that time. The casualties in the Philippines from Feb. 4 to April 4, 18M, inclusive, as reported to the adjutant-general, are: Killed, 184; wounded, 976; total, 1,160. The President has appointed Col. Adelbert L Buffington to be brigadiergeneral and chief of the bareaa of ordinance to succeed the late Gen. Flager. NEWSY BREVITIES.

It is the one perfect strengthening laxative, CLEANSING THE SYSTEM EFFECTUALLY, DISPELLING COLDS AND HEADACHES, PREVENTING FEVERS, OVERCOMING HABITUAL CONSTIPATION PERMANENTLY. Its perfect freedom from every objectionable quality and substance, and its acting on the kidneys, liver and bowels, gently yet promptly, without weakening or irritating them, make it. the ideal laxative.

In order to get its beneficial effects, and to avoid imitations, please remember the full name of the Company printed on the front of every package. Consumers of the choicest products of modern commerce purchase at about the same price that others pay for cheap and worthless imitations.—To come into universainiemand and to be everywhere considered the best of its class, an article must be capable of satisfying the wants and tastes of the best informed' purchasers. The California Fig Syrup Company having met with the highest success in the manufacture and sale of its excellent liquid laxative remedy, SYRUP OF FIGS, it has become important to all to have a knowledge of the Company and its product. The California Fig Syrup Company was organized more than fifteen years ago, for the special purpose of manufacturing and selling a laxative remedy which would be more pleasant to the taste and more beneficial in effect than any other known. The great value of the remedy, as a medicinal agent and of the Company's efforts, is attested by the sale of millions of bottles annually, and by the high approval of most eminent physicians. As the true and genuine remedy named SYRUP OP FIGS is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Company only, the knowledge of that fact will assist in avoiding the worthless imitations manufactured by other parties. for <Sale by All Drui^iste , Price 50 Per Bottle.

He took us so suddenly by surprise, that, although we had been waiting and watching for him since dawn, his resolute aspect and the arms he wiolded controlled us all, and we stared at each other with irresolution in our purpose and hi our faces. No man, apparently, cared to act as our leader. "Presto!" roared the Cubano; "obey aad keep quiet, or, demonio! as there are so many, I have a great mind to Bhoot one-half, that I may control the rest. Cast loose those top-sails, and up with the royals again—set the flyhig- glb and main trysail—quick, perroa, or I'll make Bhark's meat of some more of you!" The crew esemed to lack either resolution or the power of combination, and no men appeared anxious to incur the sure penalty of instant death by acting In opposition to his peremptory orders in setting an example to the rest. So, sullenly and silently the sail trimmers stood by the tacks and braces.; the wheel revolved In the unwilling hands of Ned Carlton, who was compelled to obey, for the cold muzzle of a six-barreled revolver, capped and cocked, was hold close to his left temple. The head of the Eugenie payed off In obedience to her helm, the yarda swung round and were braced sharp up; and with the starboard tacks on board, in three minutes we were stoer* ing as due westward as her head would lie for the coast of South America. The alteration of our course furnished the crew ^rith a new source of speculation. It was evidently the Intention of Antonio, if he could reach the coast of Seguro, or that of Bahia, to eBcape with all his valuables and his vengeance; and to this end, if ships pussed without succoring or overhauling us, and if we did not destroy him, he might certainly destroy us, by scuttling the brig, or setting her on fire. The noon passed over without an "observation," for there was no one to work it, to estimate the latitude or longitude, to keep a reckoning, or take note of our variation and leeway; _nd lest we should signal any passing shift Antonio, who was a most thoughtful scoundrel, threw every color ov«v board. He did not come on deck again for some time, as he had plenty of spt?tt8 and provisions below, and the tell-tale compass in the skylight afforded him constant information as to whether the brig was steered in the direction he wished. He was constantly drinking, but never became so intoxicated as to be unwary. * And so the fated brig glided over the hot sea, under the blazing sun. The albatrosses came round us again, with tripping feet, flapping wings and open bills; but no one molested them now -~we had other things to think of; e>d as I sat on the anchor stock in the weather'bow, watching them floating in the water, or skimming over it with their vast wings outspread, I thought of the "Ancient Mariner,** and all that he had suffered for killing "the bird of good omen." I felt a strange dread creeping over me while these verses seemed on my tongue—they were so descriptive of the atmosphere and of the situation: "All in & hot and copper sky, The bloody sun at noon, Right up above tho mast did stand, No bigger than the moon. "I cloaed my lids, and kept them close. And the balls like pulses beat, For the sea and sky, «nd the sea and •ky, like a load on my weary eye, And the dead were at my feet" Remembering the manner in which Antonio first came on board—the mystery of his being alone in the bloodstained boat—his dreams—the disappearanco of Roberts—the occurrences of the morning—and though last not least, the rough treatment to which the crew had subjected him on the night we passed the line—none were very willing to enter the cabin where this savage Cubano, flushed with brandy, bloodshed and ferocity, sat with loaded pistols in his hands. But all felt that something must be done; that, while a doubt remained, it should be solved, and a life so importanttto us saved, even though others be risked for it. I volunteered to become the envey of the crew. "No, no, Master Rodney," said Tattooed Tom; "this will never do! What, do you think we will let you venture into that murderer's den while so many able-bodied fellows hang astern?" "But I know his language, which none of you do." "He speaks the Queen's English now as well as any of us," said Carlton, "and if I had only a pistol or a musket to give me but one chance for my life, I would have made it speak to him long ago, in the lingo such pirates know best." "Moreover, as I did not molest him on the night we crossed the line, he has no particular grudge at me," I urged. "There is some sense and truth in that," muttered several of the crew. "I'll go— it,Is settled," said I, anxious to solve the mystery of the groans, while feeling a glow Qt triumph at the applause I should gain for the risk I ran, which assuredly was not a small one. "It is a shame for us lubberly fellows to stand by here and see that lad risk his life," said Probart, one of the crew; "and if so be that Creole picaroon falls foul Of him " "If he does," exclaimed Tom Lambourne through his firmly set teeth, while striking his clenched right hand on the hard palm of the left, "may I never see England again If we don't attack him at stem and stern at once! I'll drop down the skylight, with as many as will follow me, while you, Ned, will dash down the companionway with the rest, and then at him with hatchet, handsaw and capstanbar. He can't kill u« all, shipmates, that's one comfort—he can't kill us all!" The prospect of an early demise was neither sootfced nor encouraged by this promise at the bloody scene that was to follow. The carpenter gave me a email but very sharp tomaitaw_:. I concealed it in my breaet, and resolved to use it to 6ome purpose if soolesled in the cabin. The idem Hashed upon me that by one determine* biaw I might disable him forever, and perhaps do an act of justice by dispatching him outright With a vague sense that I was about to face a terrible danger, and that the sooner It was faced and past, the better, I walked hastily aft, and on descending the ccmiia__o-lAdder, paused when halfway 'down, and after knocklag on tfae bulkhead called out distinctly and boWy— "Auta_Jo!

From the wild thoughts and fancies which the horrors of that early morn- Ing, our strange situation, and my own •rather active imagination, were suggesting, I was roused by Ned Carlton, who, on being relieved from the wheel, came forward to the bows, where moat •f the crew were seated on the windtae8,< or were lounging against the bitts, •peculating on what might turn up next. . Is an excited and impressive manner, he reported that be had heard, from time to time, the sound of moans, M from eefB*6M in great pain in the cabin; that he believed that either the cantata or mate yet survived; and If We omsM get down by any means we might be la time to save oae or the otter. If he was Weeding to death, the victim could not ftm* lonr-a little Putting a hand in tny breast to ascertain that my little hatchet was secure, I entered the cabin, where the Cubano, with Ms broad back placed against the ritdderease, was seated on the stern-locker at the table, which he had covered with bottles, biscuits. cheese and polonies while papers, dockets, broken desite. and boxea lay scattered about him. He was dad, as I have stated, in the poor skipper's best shore-going salt of clothes, which he wore open and loose, for the atmosphere of th9 cabin, notwithstanding the shattered skylight, was oppressively hot, as the sun was now almost vertical; the flies were la noisy rwarma. and the cockroaches were crawlingover the beams and bulkhead panels. On flrst hearing a foot oa the coapan- • Ion-ladder, he had evidently snatched up a revolver, and cocked it; hot on finding that his visitor was only me, he put it down, threw away the fag-end of a dxarito. and said, with a ferocious grim aad iroaical politeaeas— lias (a good day), a n I ipda*»ad.4»r W* It was the firat time I coolly destroyed a fellow-being aa he to with an indescribable loathing; but X bad a purpose to achieve, and determined to do It I was about to enter Western's stateroom, when the Cubano (cocked his revolver and cried, in a voice of thunder— "Come back, or I will shoot you aa dead as he is! Ha, ha! por grados" (by degrees) "I shall get rid of you all." I paused and locked at him; my roung heart beat wildly; I felt that I was facing death, and what would I not have given bad my hatchet been a pistol, even with one barrel, though my opponent was master of twelve charges. "He is dead, then?" said I In a husky voice. "Who—which?" asked the Cubano, with a fresh clgarlto between bl3 strong white teeth. "Captain Western." "Aye, dead as Judas!" said be, laughing hoarsely. "But I understand that Hislop -" I stammered. "El contra-maestre—well?" At that moment a low moan vrhich went through my heart came from the stateroom or little side cabin of Marc Hislop. "Well, hombro, vhat of Mm?" growled Antonio. "He is bleeding to death, and I wish to remove him." "Do aa you please; he will be food for the fish before the sun sets!" "You will allow me to take him on deck?" said I, earnestly, almost imploringly. "Yes; you have done me no harm" (he repeated this very often); woe to those who have done so!" A gleam of suspicion flashed in the eyes of Antonio as he said: "True; but not a man shall enter here, and leave alive. The ship-boys may assist you; but I will shoot the whole crew down like dogs If they venture to approach me; BO I give yon five minutes to carry the contra-maestre to the forecastle bunks, or to pitch him overboard, whichever you please, though the last would please me." "Five minutes?" "Yes, five by this watch," he added, pulling out of his fob a gold repeater, which, even in the excitement of the moment, I recognized to be mine, the same which my mother gave me when I first left home for Eton, and of wtiich I had been robbed at Tennerlffe. There was no doubting the little rings and charms which my sisters, Dot, Sybil and one of their female friends had appended to It; and thus I discovered another black link in the life of Antonio. I dared not appear to recognize it when his strong brown hairy hand, the bloody spots on which made me shudder, held it toward me, lest he might shoot me down, but summoned Billy Wilkins, the cabin boy, by desiring the man at the wheel "to pass word forward for him and another apprentice." The boys came, but not without great fear and reluctance; and while Antonio proceeded leisurely to make another paper cigar, keeping his ears open for every sound, and his black eyes fixed keenly on us the while, we entered the little stateroom of Marc Hislop and beheld a sight which filled us with the deepest commiseration and dismay. CHAPTER XXII. I Rescue the Mate. Pale as marble, with his lower Jaw relaxed and his eyes almost closed, motionless as if dead, but, nevertheless, still breathing slowly and heavily, poor Marc Hislop lay in his bed, the clothes and pillows of which were saturated with blood, for he seemed to be covered by wounds, and the crimson current had flowed over the piles of his favorite books, which were scattered upon the cabin floor, where they had been trod under foot by Antonio while overhauling the repositories of the unfortunate proprietor. Shuddering, and in haste, we lifted him from the bed, muffled him in a blanket and conveyed him, passive as a child in our hands, from the cabin. / * we passed out, for a moment it Beemed as If the ruffianly Spaniard repented of his temporary clemency; for when he saw the pale, bloody and Insensible form of the poor fellow trailed past, he made an ominous stride toward us, and threateningly clutched the hsit of the Albacete knife in his sash. Then waving his hand, almost contemptuously* he said: "Basta—go, go—it matters little now, either to him or to me. Demonio! I always strike deep." Alarm and pity endowed, us with unusual strength, and we bore the speechless victim of Antonio up the steep stair to the deck, where our crew, with mattered oaths of vengeance, and expressions of.commiseration, bore him Into the forepart ef the vessel. There a bed was made tor him on deck; for coolness, an awning was rigged over it, aad we had his wounds examined.

I t makes the robbing of orchards a felony to which is attached a severe punishment We clip the following from the Brighton Argus: Mr. Editor:—At the annual! township meeting a resolution was carried offering a bounty on all crows killed in the township of Brighton at the rate of ten cents per head. There is in my opinion an error in the good people of this town offering any such bounty or any bounty on crows; for the reason that killing crows is forbidden by law. Sec. 20, page 202, of the laws of 1897, provides that it is unlawful to kill any "insectivcrous" bird; and Sec. 30 of the same act makes it a misdemeanor and punishable by a fine of not less than $10 and not -ex ceeding $125 for each offense. As I understand it, a crow is an iuseotivorous bird and consequently those persons who may be comtemplating pickiug up a little change by killing crows had better keep oue eye open in the direction of the game warden.

One who seeks to interest and engage others in active temperance work, or to enlist recruits for the white ribbon army, finds a variety of opinion among the non-active in temperance work as to who should be expectetl to go to work and shoulder this little job, which all agree needs so much to be done. Or, to put the case less radically, it seems to very many as if it were the proper ditty and call of some, but not of others, to undertake some form of protest and opposition to the liquor traffic, though at the same time they will let you know that their common senBe,—or, is it their lack of faith?—teaches them that it can but prove a. hopeless warfare. One lady will sweetly hear you tell about the manifold opportunities for doing valuable temperance work along some one or other of the various lines of departmental work so organized by the W C T U that every man, women oc child, even the sick in their beds, who will, may lend a hand to help push the reform along. You will suggest a dozen different things so easily in her power, and urge the awful devastion of the drink traffic daily going on, and ask her to "join and help." What will be the answer? Perhaps she will say, "If I had any boys, I presume I should be very much interested." Or, perhaps, "My boys are men now, so perfectly free from every such habit, I have no fear for them; so it does not worry me." Or again you will hear: "The temperance work and the dreadful liquor traffic are so trying to my feelings that I cannot bear to attend such meetings. I never go to hear lectures, even; it upsets me so. Of course, we all know how true it is." Another will say " I have no friends who have ever suffered from drink, so I do not feel any personal concern." And frequently some one will say "There are some women in this town who, I know, and everybody knows, have suffered enough from liquor, and I should think you would get them into the svork. They ought to be interested. 1 CTTVR* FCnClTORS WANTEP EVKB* A WIXI Ut -rf ftvrj of the Phnipines' Fy Vnrst P»l*tc»*, coa sii**fri»cl by tb* Govern mni »r Offrisl HUiort»B to ih« WarDef»rtin«nt Tb* bowk « • • «T«m>1a th« arany cttsapa at fiaa rranci*co, <oa-tb« Taelfle with ( soeraJ Mexrit, to the b<wvitel» »1BOSD1O)»M» Hoif ttmt, in U tb* . o»i <tf tb* hml* at for *t»»ta. lrtmfml MMBA phfteff book. ! * • price*.

Produce Review. Yean of crusade against them by dairy papers. an>d butter sellers, and still mottles- we-*> plentiful as ever. The-.cause J.;t •&$. syot claim to know it. DHterent theories have been advanced by different authorities in the dairy world. Perhaps some of them are correct, Vitt ?vore than possible they are alt wore or less misleading. Uneven distribution of salt one says, and this perhaps is most frequently supposed to bf the cause. And probably uneven distribution of salt does cause mottles sometimes, but I know it does not cause mottles all the time. We are also told that mottles make their appearance when the butter is not salted at all, so we must look for other causes of mottles. Uaeven distribution of the color, or ,of the mud in the color perhap3. But also here we are told that mottles appeal where ne color is used. Other theories have been advanced: feed, frozen milk, make of separator, richness of cream, temperatures of cream, butter or room* all of which are more or less ridiculous. Uneven distribution of mottles I shall not try to argue, but will guarantee that if the mottles are worked evenly Into the butter, they will disappear. Aad -the thought may be nearer the truth than it appears to be at first sight, at least in the. absence of a known cause it does well, and Prof. Storch of the experiment laboratory in Copenhagen ventured the opinion that mottles might be of bacteriological origin. So much for the cause. How to prevent is hard to say until the cause is better known, but if mottles do make their appearance in your butter, I know of only one way to make them disappear,' distribute them evenly, work your butter more— work it until the mottles disappear. Uttble except 01 a small scale: aad often it cannot be profitably followed, even on a small scale, because of the coat 6* the labor involved U handling and hauling of leaves, muck, and other coarse and crude material!. (2) The other, and most practicable method, and one that is adapted to any scale of operations, is regular rotation of crops, including tmall grain, red clover, cowpeaa, or other renovating crop. A judicious, well-managed rotation may be made profitable every stage and every crop, as well as profitable In the lots, run.

Like the Hottentots, we can make a god out of almost anything; yea, and worse than they do, we may even worship ourselves. Cora C«itujff. A bulletin of the GeoT^Sa station says: Corn delights in a deep, mellow, rich and moist loam. Any of the ordinary soils of the country that are either naturally of the above characters, or can be brought into the required condition by proper—rotation, deep and Edna May in London declares that she cantifet get along wHtb her husband In San Francisco.

To watch the corn grow, and the bloa- «om set, to draw hard breath over the plowshare and spade, to read, to think, to love, to pray—these are the things to make men happy; they have always had' the power of doing these—they never will have power to do more.- Buskin. Qtteen Victoria's will is described as engrossed on vellum, quarto site, and •bound as a volume. When the queen's <5eatto makes the document a practical issue; will some one rise to offer the etock objections of "unsound mind" and "undue influence?" The process would be £* more absurd than the proceedings in our probate courts, where the wishes of testators are so often Ignored.

The wise way for men to do is to give their property Ja frist before death deprives them of option in the dlspocition of i t t/ropc That &»»• Fertility. No crop in thl3 section of the country takes the precedence of corn, writes a Nebraska contributor to Wallace's Farmer. It is so abundant and so abundantly useful. I do not know of any other crop that can be used for so many purposes. It makes good human food and admits of being prepared in so many ways. I don't know of any other crop that will supply the wants of our domestic animals so completely as the corn crop. The entire plant fed to cattle or sheep makes an admirable fattening ration, supplying both grain and rough feed of the highest quality. Do not fail to have a good corn crop. Then concentrate it as much as possible into the most marketable product, butter or meat, before it leaves the farm. Next to corn, if not equal to it, is sorghum, drilled in with the ordinary grain drill at the rate of three pecks to one bushel of seed to the acre. No one will believe the amount of good feed for any kind of stock this will produce until they try it for themselves. Then comes peas and oats sown together. I differ from many in the amount of seed to be sown in this combination. I think mostly too many oats are sown for the peas. I prefer one and one-half to two bushels of peas to not more than three pecks of oats per acre. Do not let the peas become too ripe before cutting. My crop of peas and oats seeded in the above proportions yielued last season over four tons per acre. Fan can Attacks pn Cedar Trees. From Farmers' Review: Anyone years the cedar trees of the Agricultural College grounds have been attacked by the well known brown fungus, the so-called cedar apple (Gynmospornnginus macropus). SonSe four years ago the department of horticulture began hand picking the fungous growth on certain groups of trees to determine Whether or not by this means the attacks could be reduced and injury prevented. From that time till the present these trees have been careiuiiy gone over several times each year and the fungus removed from them, it has not, with, very few exceptions, been allowed to reach tfee apore bearing stage. There has. however, been no diminution of the attack. The disease appears as vigorous at the present times as at any time in the past. The trees are more thrifty than they would have been had the fungus been allowed to grow undistributed, but they are no freer from the disease than others that have had no attention. Cedars can not be freed from this disease by hand picking, at least if there are other trees of the same species In the neighborhood that are untreated. W. L. HALL. Kansas Agl.

Perhaps the most essential requirement for an ibundfcnt yield of cOflf is plenty oC moisture in' the son. Without til's plenty of moisture, such a yield is ab-> $rijut«ly impracticable. Jt is-not tndJ «peBsabta that tti« moisture shall bo supplied Erectly by Abundant rains during the period of the__grow4k of the crop, but the requirement, must be met In some way. The supply of moisture ffom rainfalls may be supplemented, or entirely substituted, by irrigation, as is done In arid and sexrfl-arid. regions; or the farmer may trust to the clouds for a generous supply; but the ruo ti«* p««ch H.ODM. demand for moisture must be met.

These soils become thoroughly saturated with moisture during the winter and spring rains, and on account o t tbeir .deptlr and quantity of humus, they retain the moisture during u much longer period. In the absence ot such soils, if the farmer wishes to produce- "'regularly profitable crops oX-coro, he must bring his uplands, as nearly as practicable, into the condition of the loamy, bottom lands. Moisture, moisture, i* the prime essential, and moisture lie must provide, or he will, certain ly fall of * crop, if the cjouis withhold their a.pcu2tomed supply.

Lawton and King recently launched an expedition of three gnnboata, with 1,500 picked men in canoes, in tow of the gunboats. The object of ttte expedition is to cross the lake, capture Santa Cruz and sweep the country to the south. The expedition, which embarked at San Pedro Maoati, consisted of eight companies of the 14th infantry, three companies of the 4th cavalry, four of the North Dakota vol« unteers, four of tbe Idaho volunteers, two mountain guns and 300 sharpshooters of tbe 14th infantry. The banditti question in the province of Santiago de Caba is assuming much more serious proportions. l a spite of the fact that there have been many arrests in the neighborhood of Sancti Spiritus, including the principal leaders, the number of outlaws is increasing instead of diminishing. The gendarmes are practically worthless unless they are with American troops. Gen. Lawton succeeded in raising the American flag over Santa Cruz after a spirited conflict in which six Americans were wounded. The native forces, commanded by a Chinese, was driven into mountains, after having 68 slain, a large number wounded and captured. An American general has expressed the opinion thut 100,000 men would now be necessary to crush the rebellion. L. P. Mitchell, assistant comptroller of the treasury, in a decision rendered holds that while the marine corps cannot be understood to be a part of the navy for all purposes, the officers and enlisted men of the corps who were appointed or enlisted therein for the war only, and were honorably discharged, are entitled to the extra pay granted by the act of March 3, 1808. Word has been received of Gen. Law ton's victory in the vicinity of i'ugsajan and Lnmban. He succeeded in capturing- both towns, driving the insurgents up the mountain side. Six launch^* and two cascos were captured in the river. The rebel loss is said to IMJ liesivy. Insurgents made a desperate attempt to break our line of railroad communication the other nig-ht by attacking Gen. McArthur's forces, but were driven back by Gen. Wheaton with heavy IOSH. The American casualties was three killed and twenty wounded. Aguinaldo has issued a decree directing that Spanish shall ,be the official language throughout the archipelago, and protesting against the American pretension to force the use of g l i h ou the natives, who do not know it The l'r«*ldent°» Proclamation. president McKin1?- has issued the fo'io-.ving proclamation: Whereas, A treaty of peace between" 1 hi* United. States of America and her majesty, the queen regent of Spain, in tlu- name of her august son, Don Alfonso XI11., concluded and signed by their respective plenipotentiaries at Paris on the 10th day of December, 1£№. the original of which convention being in the English and Spanish languages, is word for word as follows: (Mere the full text of the treaty is included.) And, Whereas, the said convention has been duly ratified on both parts and the ratifications of the two governments were exchanged^ in the city of Washington ou the 11th day of April, ISM. Now, therefore, be it known that I, William McKinley, President of tbe United States of America, have caused Hie s>aid convention to be made public, to the end that the same aud every article and clause thereof may be observed and fulfilled with good faith by the United States and the citizens thereof. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
