Papa Overton said so, kneeling by me and pressing hot kisses upon my white lips—weeping hot tears upon icy brow. Prank said so. And his hands trembled as lie held a mirror before my face to see if there was any re- maining breath to stain its purity of surface. There was none; the glass was as bright and clear when lie finish- ed his horrible experiment as when he begun. So there was only one thing for him to say. He said I was dead. There was reason enough for saying it, too. Let me tell you why. Silence on my lips; stillness at my heart; a dead inertness all along my limbs; these were all bad enough, but not all of these had taught me how like death must be the state in which I lay. But I—I saw my face in. the mirror! I did not wonder they said I was dead. I should have said “death! of such a face as that at a sirgle glance. What need to send, as they had done in fran- tic haste, for a physician ? what need to call in more advice? Did it need even so much skill as Prank then had —the skill of an inexperienced but en- thusiastic student—to say that nothing but death ever dominated the brain behind such a face as that? Dead? If T could have managed to speak I think I should have told them that I agreed with them! And so, dear reader, if you ever have doubts as to what death lias done, or left undone, for you loved ones, when you place the polished mirror above the still lips and wait prayerfully for the end of the test, which is excellent, though not final, be so kind and mer- ciful as to lay your hand gently along the brow and over the eyes of one of whom yon hope and fear Do not let life have the chance to see itself lie white and cold behind the mask of death; it would be an awful thing, a more horrible tiling than words can tell or the imagination picture, to stand before such a helpless, hapless, stricken one as I—and drive her mad! The doctor came. He took plenty of time. He made many.careful tests. He was gentle, tender, patient. But he stood up at last, Ms earnest face free from anything like doubt. I can seem to see it now, as I saw it then, as he stood facing me and half looking down upon me, while lie talked to father and Prank, and Prank’s father and mother, and all the rest who had gathered there. • ‘There is no room for doubt,” he said, “none in the least. The death was sudden, but it is not unaccounta- ble. I don’t know wliat the cause was, but one can easily determine that if you desire. But the poor gill is dead, there is no doubt of that.” “There are strange cases of death- like suspended animation,” saidPrank; “cases in which even the best of au- thorities have been in error. It some- times happens that they come without much warning, and to those no more ill and tired than Judith has seemed to be for some days. I had a college friend once—” The doctor smiled. It is with such smiles as that that wisdom has been putting youth and inexperience down into its “proper place” ever since any man was old enough lo be proud and’ prejudiced. “That’s all very true, Prank,” he said—“all very true and all very well. But such cases occur only once in mil- lion of eases, and—” “And this may be the one case in the million, sir?” asked Prank. “And I know death when-1 see it. I am .sorry, but there has not been any room for doubt here.” “ We can at least keep the body un- til we are certain, I suppose?” said Frank. The doctor did not deign to give him an answer. He turned his back on Prank, and, as Prank had come slow- ly across the room near to the bed on which I lay, i‘in order to stand between me and the doctor,” I said to myself hejjturned his back towards me as well. How I tried to scream! How |I tried to move! How I longed for the power to raise up, slip silently from the bed, and creep noiselessly across the room! Wicked, was I? Thought- less? Perhaps so. It is nevertheless true that not the least reason for my wish was the desire I had to frighten the fool who had turned away from Prank and who now addressed him- self to father. “We can at least determine the cause of her death,” he said, quietly, his words no answer to Prank, hut seem- ing like an echo provoked bytes ques- tion; “it will be an easy thing to do that, and a speedy one, Mr. Overton. Shall it be done? Let the ladies go out into another room. You and your brother may remain, With a servant or two to help me, and—and Mr. Prank, if he is strong-headed enough.” The doctor took a small case of in- struments from his pocket. He placed it upon the table. He opened it. He took out some cruel-looking knives and hooks and lances. I heard the door open and close. Prank’s mother and sisters had left the room. “What do yon think ailed her?” asked Papa Overton.. •T don’t know. It might have been her heart; it might have been her brain. I incline to the belief that it was her brain.” “And you propose?” “I propose to know.” “How?” “By, examination. Let me open tlie skull, remove the brain, and—” I lost consciousness then. - I should describe what happened to me if I bad been in a normal condition to begin with by saying I fainted. As it is, I don’t know what to say. I know I lost consciousness. It was too horri- ble "for one to listen to and live; think of It; dead and yet not dead, shut un- der the edge of the shadow which falls only along the boundary of another world, speechless, motionless, yet full of sense and the love of life, and com- pelled to listen to words which con- demned me to death in a most horri- ble form, death in a few short minutes, and gave me not so much as the poor boon of a cry of protest. My .senses had been alert all the time, my sense Of feeling not less than the rest; I had felt the sunshin esearch my face when they had moved me so that it fell upon me; I had felt every pressure of every hand which had done any kindly office for me; one or two little accidents had hurt me cruelly. I wondered whether, when he should deftly cut his way to my brain, he would hurt me so fiend- ishly as my sensitive condition prom- ised; I wondered how deep lie would cut at the first stroke; I wondered whether he would set free my powers of speech and motion when he struck beep into my flesh and blood vessels and nerevs, whether I should look up into his face and shriek at him, wheth- er Id' s hand would have been so steady and his arm so strong that it would be too late to have either act do me any good—too late for any hope for me. Is it any wonder I lost consciousness? Is it not marvelous, rather, that I did not go mad? I \\ as not lost to my senses and the surroundings long. Prank was speak- ing when I came to know anything again, and his words must have closely followed those of the doctor. What he had said at first I do not know. Wliat I heard was this: “—uncertain whether it’s her head or her heart Is it reasonable to sup- pose he can be certain it is death at all? Why not wait until there be no doubt?” “There is' no doubt now,” said the doctor, his tones firm and even. “For God’s sake, uncle—” began Prank. “I—I would like to know,” said Papa Overton, “but—we will wait.” I almost difted away into nothing- less again, swept down by the flood of thankfulness that came over my soul because Prank had saved me! Saved me? Had he? I came back to myself again. Had he done any- thing for me, after all? What is death? What do we know of it? What is there behind the doors at which humanity vainly listens? Dead? Might I not be dead? How could I be sure that I was not as dead as any one ever is? I believed in the im- mortality of the human sonl. I be- lieved I should think and will and know, somewhere and under some cir- cumstances, ages after my body was forgotten dust, ages—unending ages— after the earth itself should be only a drifting cloud of impalpable ashes, scattered by the winds of oblivion through the boundless realms of infi- nite space. And so—could I be sure I was not dead? Where would I have chosen to stay had death really come and choice been given me, during tbe few days in which they could keep my poor body in their sight?—where but with those I had loved and with those who had loved me? Where but, with Papa Overton and—and—and Prank? Supr pose 1 had had my unspoken choice? Suppose my experience was only that which all the millions and millions of the dead had had—unknown to hu- manity, because no one had ever re- turned to tell it; new to me, because I had passed the veil beyond which the secret had been hidden during all the years I had lived? I was not startled; 1 was not fright- ened; but I more than believed I was rignt. It was not a very strange sur- mise, after ali, to one who had a deep and unfaltering faith in a world be- yond this—an ansliaken belief in a life beyond tbe grave. And if so—from what had Prank saved me? Prom nothing—from less than nothing. The doctor might cut and carve as he pleased, my soul would escape his keenest blade and his quick- est strokes; he might do as he would With my body—he could do nothing with me! My love for science, my passion for experiment, rose up in me like a f l oodI wished Prank had kept silent and let the doctor have his way; it would have been interesting to me whether I should feel the breeze through the open door as plainly, whether my vision would be as clear and my hearing as acute; whether I could think as definitely, will as strongly, love as passionately, after he had held my braitt in his hand, carried it away, and placed it on some distant table—and after lie bad carelessly cut a piece from it, and bending over it with a grave and anxious face at the glass of his microscope. I wondered whether it would have put me any farther from earth and its interests if he had done it; I wondered if it would have shut me any more fully and com- pletely from an earthly future than I was already. I half wished he had tried it. I was beginning to have a great deal of curi- osity myself as to what I had died of. CHAPTER IV. „ I have said I studied science. I have already expressed a regret at not having studied literature more fully. Let me now express one at not being better versed in tbe languages, living and dead then I am. Our English tongue has many words which, express ordinary occurrences weU enough, or, to reverse the statement, the ordinary events of life need not go unrecorded because of any lack of words; our lan- guage is well enough, generally, but I remember thinking how tired, and sleepy I was getting soon after the doc- tor left, and wondering whether there was any better way of telling what I was about to do than by speaking of a corpse going to sleep. Do you know of any? * I went sleep, anyway, and not ner- vously or unquietly. I had quite ful- ly made up my mind I wasdead, and I Was determined to take things aslcould. I had no doubt there would be much t<3 claim my attention in the events of to morrow, and my scientific tastes and culture prompted me to be ready to be sis keen and acute an observer as possible. I felt that there would be much that was new and startling; I had tried to so live to be ready for the great change which it seemed so strange —strange—and yet so natural—to think was behind me instead ot before; I should need rest for to-morrow, so I sank quietly away to sleep. I bade my body a mental good-bye, .ere I left my senses go; it had been a very good body; a. very serviceable one; I had 'sometimes thought a very pretty one, and had been a bit proud of it; I hated to leave it—but I doubt whether I should be inside it when I awoke again. • * * * * * It was dark when' I awoke. The room was close and hot. The curtains were snugly drawn down at every window but one; through that one tbe moonlight fell into the room; it was night again, and I had been unconcious for some hours. A single lamp, turned down low, stood somewhere in the room, and lighted some parts of it dimly. By its aid I made out the pattern of the pa- per on the wall—more fantastic, more intricate, more horrible then that in the room where I had been at the time of my first awakening, and I knew by it, after a little reflection (the reflec- tion seemed needed; perhaps my mind was not quite as strong as it had been), that I must be in the best parlor down stairs. I was startled for a moment, and then seemed to forget that there was any reason why I should be. My mind surely wandered—I was ponder- ing on a new question. 'What? Only this: I was wondering why those who had found it good and pleasant to give their enemies to the torture, in years of early barbarism, and never risen to tbe heights of genius, invent- ed wall paper, and left their victims alone to count the lines and squares and diamonds and crosses and curves aud—and—and all the rest. Perhaps it was because they would have found their wicked desires unsatisfied if the prisoners had suddenly gone mad! I was alone. The door stood slight- ly ajar. I could not see that it did, but I knew by the flickering of the low turned lamp that an autumn even- ing breeze was flickering in the room. I could not feel the breeze myself; tbe air did not reach me; I could not guess why. The door stood slightly ajar. On the other side of the hall, and a score of steps beyond my door, there was one of the doors to the dining-room. That door, too, was open, for I catch the odor of food—some of it food which had been favorite eating with me. And now, how I suffered. 1 had had no food for more than twenty-four hours. Light tones, hushed just enough to be inaudible and maddening, came in from the dining-room. There was the sound of half-suppressed laughter there. Good friends, kind neighbors, pleasant people, all of them, but they had not forgotten the creature comforts of the earthly lift; they had not lost all in- terest in the bright and cheery side of human affairs. I wondered whether they would have talked so carelessly, and laughed so heedlessly, if they had known that the dead woman was lis- tening to them. I wondered whether they would have been selfish enough or kind enough, 1 could not quite decide which it would have been, to have shut that dining-room door, keep- ing from me tlie odors of the food which I could not share, if they had known how hungry and thirsty I ivas. I wondered what any one of them would have done could he have known that the deceased was looking out from under her half-shut eyelids, wait- ing for the pleasure of tlie sight of a human face; would they come if they knew how lonely I was? Or would they not? {To be continued.) London Graveyards. There are some queer phases of life in London which are scarcely credible to us iu this still new country. Lon- don is a very old city. The dead have been for many centuries buried in small city graveyards. Little thought is given them after tbe generation of the living to which they belong has passed away. The old graves have been forgotten in digging the new. The bones are scattered through the soil, and it would seem that in some yards fragments of bones are as plenty as stones ""in gravelly soil. A propo- sition has been recently under dis- cussion to transform many of these old graveyards into quite little parks, preserving the monumental stones, but making tlie yards garden-spots. This had led to much public dis-. cussion. The rector of Bethnal Green, Bev. Mr. Hansard, communicates to the London “Times” some very curious facts with reference to the soil of such cemeteries, and the danger to public health arising from its disturbance. But another clanger which he points out is startling. His rectory opens into an old graveyard. There is no other access to it. He says a spadeful of earth cannot be taken up without turning up human bomjs. In the part formerly devoted to the pauper inter- ment he has learned that the coffins were formerly piled one on. another in great mumbers. The result is that the surface is treacherous to footsteps. Decay has left vast cavities below. Hr. Hansard says that he has himself fallen eight times up to his waist in “these ghastly holes*” once in passing along a gravelled walk ! His daughter has had two such plunges. In a neigh- boring graveyard he says a policeman fell in the night into a grave hole which yawned under his feet, and there remained up to his neck untilmorning. The horror of the night crazed him and he died soon afterward. A Kurdisli Brigand at Sliort Range. On my visit in 18S5 an incident took place which will show how law and order went on while the Turk sits gurgling the smoke through his water pipe. On the bench I came across a fellow in a picturesque costume, and with one of the most fiendish faces it has ever been my chance to gaze upon. It was Mephistophelian, but then Mephistopheles was a gentleman, and there was nothing of that kind in this case. Pure malignity could be traced in every line of the visage I had lie- fore me. Being alone, and not know- ing a word of the language, I made signs to Mm that I wanted to sketch, and he, like most Easterners I have met, had no objections, and willingly stood for me. To be made into a picture seems to touch whatever vanity there may be. and this brute bad a touch of that in him. 'While the sketching was going on, our interpre- ter came ashore with some others of our parly, and at my request inquiries were begun as to who my model might be, He stated that be was a Kurd, and bad come down from the mountains about some business. He cracked, picked, and ate walnuts while the sketching and questioning went on. Talking to him about it, ihe interpre- ter chanced to ask why he had not a sword or a dagger; to which he replied that he did not require them; it was not his way of doing things. “What things ?’’ was the natural in- quiry. “Of killing people.” “Ob, vou Mil people, do you ?” «Yes ” “How do you kill them ?” “I stand concealed behind a rock on the road, and wait till travellers came up, and when they are close I shoot them. “What for?” “To get what they have,” “Then you rob all that you kill ?” “Yes.” “How many have you killed in your time?” “Thirteen men and three ^Russians.” Why he placed the Russians in a different classification was, unfor- tunately, not cleared up. I regretted afterward that this point ivas left so, but at the moment such a trifle did not seem of any importance iD com- parison to tlie astonding disclosures this piece of humanity was making. All the time there was a well pleased simper on his face, while he nibbled away at the walnuts. The simper, I suppose, resulting from the satisfaction he felt that his picture was being made, “Where are you going when you leave Batoum?” the interpreter con- tinued. “When my business is finished, I will return to the mountains again.” “What will you do there?” “Oh, please God, I hope to shoot the first traveller I see, and lake whatever he has.” W liy People W ere Buried. When people began to bury their dead they did so in the firm belief in another life, which life was regarded as the exact counterpart of thjspresent one. The unsophisticated savage, holding that in that equal sky his faithful dog would bear him company, naturally enough had the dog in ques- tion killed and buried with him, in order that it might follow him to the happy hunting ground. Clearly, you can’t hunt without your arrows and tomahawk; so the flint, weapons and trusty bow accompanied their owner to his new dwelling place. The wood- en haft, the deer sinew bowstring, the, perishable articles of food and drink, have long since decayed within the damp tumulus; but the harder stone andearthern ware articles have sur- vived till now, to tell the story of their crude and simple early faith. Yery crude and illogical, indeed, it was, however, for it is quite clear that the actual body of the dead man was thought of a$ persisting to Jive a sort of underground life, A stone hut was constructed for its use, real weap- ons and implements were left by its side, and slaves and wives were ruth- lessly massacred, as still in Asliantee, in order that their bodies might ac- company the corpse of the buried mas- ter in his subterranean dwelling. In all this we have clear evidence of a very inconsistent, savage,materialistic belief, not indeed in the immortality of the soul, but in the continued under- ground life of the body. ItaWD^l DRPRICES SPECIAL A Sect of Murderers. A horrible religious sect lias been established in Bussia. The chief doc- trine held is that it is a sin to let men suffer bodily pain, on which account sick people belonging to the organiza- tion are strangled. The existence of the sect was betrayed by a young peasant of the government of Saratof, whose sick wife had been kidnapped from his dwelling during liis absence, and would have been put to a violent death*but for his timely interposition. Both the mother and the aunt o f ’ the sick woman belonged to this -sect, and it was they who had intended putting her to the “red death,” as this Sort of killing is called. ^Returning home one day, the young husband found that his wife had been removed to the bouse of bis mother in an adjacent village. He hurried to the place, and found his wife still alive, but washed, wrapped in white linen, and.laid upon a bier. The sick wo- man had no idea of the purpose for which she bad been so laid out, and the husband, being suspicious, deter- mined to watch the development of events. He consoled Ms wife, and then, hiding himself behind a wide stove, waited the arrival of liis rela- tives. In time he heard some one enter the room and turn the lock be- hind him. Looking out from bis hid- ing-place, lie saw that it was a man dressed in blood* red clothes bearing a large pillow in his hands, A minute later he heard a stifled groan come from the bier. To rush from bis place and fell the would-be murderer to the ground was tbe work of a mom- ent, but the man in red seized his chance and escaped. A few days later no fewer than forty-two members of the sect were arrested by the police. ’ A Natural Barometer. In the village of Meyrin (canton of Geneva), Switzerland, some disused wells have been hermetically sealed to serve as barometers to the people. An orifice about an inch in diameter is made in the cover of the well by which the internal air is put in communica- tion with the external. When the air pressure outsidediminishes on the ap- proach of a storm the air in the well escapes and blows a whistle in con- nection with the orifice, and in this way notice of a storm’s approach is given to tlie inhabitants. If, on the contrary, the pressure Increases, a different sound is produced' by the entry of the air into the well, and tlie probability of fine weather is annouced: An Interesting Criminal. “I’ve been on the track of an in- teresting'criminal,” said the detective. “She’s in Canada. Beat me by ten minutes. I’m an Eastern man, and she’s been at work in my territory— Connecticut, Her name is Hattie Davis, and she’s twenty-four, as hand- some and robust as Juno ought to have been if her pictures are correct. Her ‘lay’ was to locate in a town, get a prosperous man to»make love and pro- pose to her, arrange an early wedding, on the eve of which, she. would bolt with the presents. She did three jobs Is Hew York and Connecticufein eight months, and they paid about fifteen hundred dollars. She %as a picture of unprotected innocence when working up a job, and did her work as neat as a cabinet maker. She traded, gentle- man, on the almost universal manly weakness ” for an. eyeable woman. She’s shrewd, and was, I am told, trained for her work by a sister, who was once an expert in the same line, but has been shelved by the ravages of time.” A New Use for Eggs. Everyone is familiar with the value of the yolk of an egg as a hair wash, but perhaps may not be aware of its virtue in clothing cleansing. Beaten up with alcohol, eau de cologne, or either, like ox gall, it keeps better and is more powerful; or, in simpler cases, it may be used alone, oi: merely mixed with water, to be rubbed on with flan- nel, for removing from colored ma- terials the stains of mud, or of coffee and chocolate, when prepared with milk. It is frequently applied to vel- vet collars and cuffs, etc., and proves a cleanser, as well as a spot extractor. When it has done its work it is washed off with soap, and the material thorouofily rinsed in pure water. Egg has a specially good effect on these annoying patches of wheel grease be- longing to- the compound classes of stains, as they represent a mixture of stale grease, iron and other substances.

CrncAeo and S r Laws. “I’ve Married Em.” McCoy, when be came to ScottCoun- ty, went to work for a farmer named Hitt, who had a very charming daugh- ter, Emma, A young man, whom Parmer Hitt had repeatedly driven from the place, continued to come around, paying his addresses to the daughter, until finally the farmer, despairing of keeping him away by any milder means, hired McCoy to thrash him every time he came near. Once or twice, or maybe more, the young man came, saw the girl, took his thrashing, and departed. But one day there came the end of this sort of thing. McCoy, returning from town, where he had gone as a driver and escort for the daughter, approached the father, saying: “Well, Mr. Hitt, I’ve settled this business of that young fellow’s coming around here to see Em.” “What do you mean ?” asked the far- mer. “I mean that be won.t come any more, an’ you can bet on it.” ‘Why, Mac, you haven’t killed him have you?” asked the farmer, fear- fully. “Ho. Better than that.” “What then?” ‘Tve married Em.” The old farmer flew into a dreadful rage, hut McCoy had the girl, and there was no getting her away from him, so Parmer Hitt, like a sensible man, made the most of it, and gave his son-in-law a piece of land, which he is now tilling, while “Em” minds the babies like a dutiful wife. A Sailor, Describes a Ball. Tlie BnckspOrt Clipper's nauticle editor went to a Hew York’s ball. He says tbe ladies “had pennants, burgees, and pilot flags all over them and a heavy cloud of light, good settiDg sails. A breeze sprung up,” says this nautical man. “ ‘First four right and left!’ Was the order. The inshore craft hove up, struck a choppy sea, and sailed back and forth, passing each other with their, port tacks aboard. Then, catch- ing a flaw of wind, they bore away down outside the lines with an eight- knot breeze, rounded to, and comeback before a ten-knot souther.” The old salt says he did not quite understand all the maneuvres, but he considered them an improvement on the old-time fore-and-aft breakdown in an old barn.—Lewistown {Me.) Journal. Custer’s Pet. A t one lime Gen, Custer tamed a tiny field mouse, and kept it in a large empty inkstand on his desk. It grew very found of him, and run over his head and sholuders, and even through his hair. I had, for- tunately, only to keep away from the desk while the little creature was free, for it was contented to consider that liis domain. The general, tMnMng at last it was cruel to detain the little thing indoors, when it belonged by nat’ure to tbe fields, took it out and left it on the plain. The kindness was of no earthly use; like the oft-quoted prisoner of the Bastile. It was back again at tbe steps in no time, and pre- fering captivity to freedom. Overdrawn. We waste words, and do not under- stand the charm of simplicity. Take the old ballads of any people, and few adjectives will be found. The singer says: “He laughed; she wept.” Per- haps the poet of a more advanced age might say: “He laughed in scorn; she turned away and shed tears of disappointment.” But nowadays tlie ambitions young writer must pro- duce something like this: “A bard, fiendish laugli, pitiless and scornful, forced its passage from his throat through the lips that curled in mock- ery at her appeal; she covered her despairing face, and a gush and whirl- wind of sorrowing agony burst forth in her irresistible tears.” Painlessly Removed. Everybody bas experienced the pain and annoyance of “something getting into the eye,” What should he done when this happens? In the majority of cases, if the sufferer has the patienc to close the eye gently, and keep i immovably closed for from five min utes to a quarter of an hour, the offending particle will be safely and painlessly washed away by the tears which the eye will naturally shed at the time of the occurrence. An Old House. There is a house in Fhiladephia that has been standing for 250 years. It was built before Penn obtained his charter, and is one story high, with an immense roof. The walls made of stone, and two feet thick, and the oaken doors are large and heavy. Dread of tlie XTnknown. Yery often, my son, it is the dread o f punishment, rather than tlie punisli- ment itself, that restrains us from evil doing. Many times a boy would gladly run away and go fishing on Sunday if lie could only get liis father to thrash him before besets out; then he could enjoy the whole long day without a pang. But when he has to wait until evening for it, the dread of that unknown ill that awaits him douds all his skies and pitches all his songs in a minor key. Fueilleton. Perhaps the Governor’s commission on devising means for painless execu- tion have not thought of letting a Chicago man who is East on a visit talk the criminal to death. The pris- oner after the first hour would em- brace death With ardor.—Albany Jour« nal. A dandy with a cigar in his mouth, on board a steamboat, once stepped up to a .foreigner, and said. “Pray, sir, do gentlemen smoke in your country?” “Gentlemen do not smoke in any country,” was tbe laconic reply. Good manners, is the art of making those people easy with whom we con- verse; whoever makes the fewest persons uneasy, is the best bred man in company. Money and time are the heaviest bur- dens of life, and tbe unhappiest of all mortals are those who have more of either than they know how to use. The multitude who require to be led still hate their leaders, The school prodigy commonly dies of water on the brain, of breaks down under the friction of the world. The pupils regarded as dullards—such as Scott or Gray—waij^for manhood to write their names indelibly in ;the Book of Honor which records the lives of the great. The test,of a man is not whether he can govern a kingdom single handed, but whether his private life is tender and beneficent, and his wife and child- ren happy. If I could write my name in stars across the heavens, I should he put to shame by the man whose home brightens whenever he enters it, and whose true name is known only to his wife, since she invented it when they were young lovers.

WOll IE SILENCE.OLAKENCE M. EOUTELLE.

CHAPTER IH .D e a d ? Was I ?Papa Overton said so, kneeling by

me and pressing hot kisses upon my white lips—weeping hot tears upon icy brow.

Prank said so. And his hands trembled as lie held a mirror before my face to see if there was any re­maining breath to stain its purity of surface. There was none; the glass was as bright and clear when lie finish­ed his horrible experiment as when he begun. So there was only one thing for him to say. He said I was dead.

There was reason enough for saying it, too. Let me tell you why. Silence on my lips; stillness at my heart; a dead inertness all along my limbs; these were all bad enough, but not all of these had taught me how like death must be the state in which I lay. But I—I saw my face in. the mirror! I did not wonder they said I was dead. I should have said “death! o f such a face as that at a sirgle glance. What need to send, as they had done in fran­tic haste, for a physician ? what need to call in more advice? Did it need even so much skill as Prank then had —the skill o f an inexperienced but en­thusiastic student—to say that nothing but death ever dominated the brain behind such a face as that? Dead? I f T could have managed to speak I think I should have told them that I agreed with them!

And so, dear reader, i f you ever have doubts as to what death lias done, or left undone, for you loved ones, when you place the polished mirror above the still lips and wait prayerfully for the end of the test, which is excellent, though not final, be so kind and mer­ciful as to lay your hand gently along the brow and over the eyes of one of whom yon hope and fear Do not let life have the chance to see itself lie white and cold behind the mask of death; it would be an awful thing, a more horrible tiling than words can tell or the imagination picture, to stand before such a helpless, hapless, stricken one as I—and drive her mad!

The doctor came. He took plenty of time. He made many.careful tests. He was gentle, tender, patient. But he stood up at last, Ms earnest face free from anything like doubt. I can seem to see it now, as I saw it then, as he stood facing me and half looking down upon me, while lie talked to father and Prank, and Prank’s father and mother, and all the rest who had gathered there.

•‘There is no room for doubt,” he said, “none in the least. The death was sudden, but it is not unaccounta­ble. I don’t know wliat the cause was, but one can easily determine that if you desire. But the poor gill is dead, there is no doubt of that.”

“There are strange cases of death­like suspended animation,” saidPrank; “cases in which even the best o f au­thorities have been in error. It some­times happens that they come without much warning, and to those no more ill and tired than Judith has seemed to be for some days. I had a college friend once—”

The doctor smiled. It is with such smiles as that that wisdom has been putting youth and inexperience down into its “proper place” ever since any man was old enough lo be proud and’ prejudiced.

“ That’s all very true, Prank,” he said—“all very true and all very well. But such cases occur only once in mil­lion o f eases, and—”

“And this may be the one case in the million, sir?” asked Prank.

“And I know death when-1 see it. I am .sorry, but there has not been any room for doubt here.”

“ We can at least keep the body un­til we are certain, I suppose?” said Frank.

The doctor did not deign to give him an answer. He turned his back on Prank, and, as Prank had come slow­ly across the room near to the bed on which I lay, i‘in order to stand between me and the doctor,” I said to myself hejjturned his back towards me as well.

How I tried to scream! How |I tried to move! How I longed for the power to raise up, slip silently from the bed, and creep noiselessly across the room! Wicked, was I ? Thought­less? Perhaps so. I t is nevertheless true that not the least reason for my wish was the desire I had to frighten the fool who had turned away from Prank and who now addressed him­self to father.

“We can at least determine the cause of her death,” he said, quietly, his words no answer to Prank, hut seem­ing like an echo provoked bytes ques­tion; “ it will be an easy thing to do that, and a speedy one, Mr. Overton. Shall it be done? Let the ladies go out into another room. You and your brother may remain, With a servant or two to help me, and—and Mr. Prank, i f he is strong-headed enough.”

The doctor took a small case of in­struments from his pocket. He placed it upon the table. He opened it. He took out some cruel-looking knives and hooks and lances. I heard the door open and close. Prank’s mother and sisters had left the room.

“What do yon think ailed her?” asked Papa Overton..

•T don’t know. I t might have been her heart; it might have been her brain. I incline to the belief that it was her brain.”

“And you propose?”“I propose to know.”“How?”“By, examination. Let me open tlie

skull, remove the brain, and—”I lost consciousness then. - I should

describe what happened to me if I bad

been in a normal condition to begin with by saying I fainted. As it is, I don’t know what to say. I know I lost consciousness. It was too horri­ble "for one to listen to and live; think of It; dead and yet not dead, shut un­der the edge of the shadow which falls only along the boundary o f another world, speechless, motionless, yet full of sense and the love of life, and com­pelled to listen to words which con­demned me to death in a most horri­ble form, death in a few short minutes, and gave me not so much as the poor boon of a cry o f protest. My .senses had been alert all the time, my sense Of feeling not less than the rest; I had felt the sunshin esearch my face when they had moved me so that it fell upon me; I had felt every pressure of every hand which had done any kindly office for me; one or two little accidents had hurt me cruelly. I wondered whether, when he should deftly cut his way to my brain, he would hurt me so fiend­ishly as my sensitive condition prom­ised; I wondered how deep lie would cut at the first stroke; I wondered whether he would set free my powers o f speech and motion when he struck beep into my flesh and blood vessels and nerevs, whether I should look up into his face and shriek at him, wheth­er Id' s hand would have been so steady and his arm so strong that it would be too late to have either act do me any good—too late for any hope for me. Is it any wonder I lost consciousness? Is it not marvelous, rather, that I did not go mad?

I \\ as not lost to my senses and the surroundings long. Prank was speak­ing when I came to know anything again, and his words must have closely followed those of the doctor. What he had said at first I do not know. Wliat I heard was this:

“—uncertain whether it’s her head or her heart Is it reasonable to sup­pose he can be certain it is death at all? Why not wait until there be no doubt?”

“There is' no doubt now,” said the doctor, his tones firm and even.

“For God’s sake, uncle—” began Prank.

“I—I would like to know,” said Papa Overton, “ but—we will wait.”

I almost difted away into nothing­less again, swept down by the flood of thankfulness that came over my soul because Prank had saved me!

Saved me? Had he? I came back to myself again. Had he done any­thing for me, after all? What is death? What do we know of it? What is there behind the doors at which humanity vainly listens? Dead? Might I not be dead? How could I be sure that I was not as dead as any one ever is? I believed in the im­mortality of the human sonl. I be­lieved I should think and will and know, somewhere and under some cir­cumstances, ages after my body was forgotten dust, ages—unending ages— after the earth itself should be only a drifting cloud of impalpable ashes, scattered by the winds of oblivion through the boundless realms of infi­nite space.

And so—could I be sure I was not dead? Where would I have chosen to stay had death really come and choice been given me, during tbe few days in which they could keep my poor body in their sight?—where but with those I had loved and with those who had loved me? Where but, with Papa Overton and—and—and Prank? Supr pose 1 had had my unspoken choice? Suppose my experience was only that which all the millions and millions of the dead had had—unknown to hu­manity, because no one had ever re­turned to tell it; new to me, because I had passed the veil beyond which the secret had been hidden during all the years I had lived?

I was not startled; 1 was not fright­ened; but I more than believed I was rignt. It was not a very strange sur­mise, after ali, to one who had a deep and unfaltering faith in a world be­yond this—an ansliaken belief in a life beyond tbe grave.

And if so—from what had Prank saved me? Prom nothing—from less than nothing. The doctor might cut and carve as he pleased, my soul would escape his keenest blade and his quick­est strokes; he might do as he would With my body—he could do nothing with me! My love for science, my passion for experiment, rose up in me like a f l o o d I wished Prank had kept silent and let the doctor have his way; it would have been interesting to me whether I should feel the breeze through the open door as plainly, whether my vision would be as clear and my hearing as acute; whether I could think as definitely, will as strongly, love as passionately, after he had held my braitt in his hand, carried it away, and placed it on some distant table—and after lie bad carelessly cut a piece from it, and bending over it with a grave and anxious face at the glass of his microscope. I wondered whether it would have put me any farther from earth and its interests if he had done it; I wondered if it would have shut me any more fully and com­pletely from an earthly future than I was already.

I half wished he had tried it. I was beginning to have a great deal of curi­osity myself as to what I had died of.

CHAPTER IV . „I have said I studied science. I

have already expressed a regret at not having studied literature more fully. Let me now express one at not being better versed in tbe languages, living and dead then I am. Our English tongue has many words which, express ordinary occurrences weU enough, or, to reverse the statement, the ordinary events of life need not go unrecorded because of any lack of words; our lan­guage is well enough, generally, but I remember thinking how tired, and sleepy I was getting soon after the doc­tor left, and wondering whether there was any better way of telling what I was about to do than by speaking of a corpse going to sleep. Do you know of any? *

I went sleep, anyway, and not ner­vously or unquietly. I had quite ful­ly made up my mind I wasdead, and I Was determined to take things aslcould. I had no doubt there would be much t<3 claim my attention in the events o f to morrow, and my scientific tastes and culture prompted me to be ready to be sis keen and acute an observer as possible. I felt that there would be much that was new and startling; I had tried to so live to be ready for the great change which it seemed so strange —strange—and yet so natural—to think was behind me instead ot before; I should need rest for to-morrow, so I sank quietly away to sleep. I bade my body a mental good-bye, .ere I left my senses go; it had been a very good body; a. very serviceable one; I had

'sometimes thought a very pretty one, and had been a bit proud of i t ; I hated to leave it—but I doubt whether I should be inside it when I awoke again. •

* * * * *It was dark when' I awoke. The

room was close and hot. The curtains were snugly drawn down at every window but one; through that one tbe moonlight fell into the room; it was night again, and I had been unconcious for some hours.

A single lamp, turned down low, stood somewhere in the room, and

lighted some parts of it dimly. By its aid I made out the pattern of the pa­per on the wall—more fantastic, more intricate, more horrible then that in the room where I had been at the time o f my first awakening, and I knew by it, after a little reflection (the reflec­tion seemed needed; perhaps my mind was not quite as strong as it had been), that I must be in the best parlor down stairs. I was startled for a moment, and then seemed to forget that there was any reason why I should be. My mind surely wandered—I was ponder­ing on a new question. 'What? Only this: I was wondering why those who had found it good and pleasant to give their enemies to the torture, in years of early barbarism, and never risen to tbe heights of genius, invent­ed wall paper, and left their victims alone to count the lines and squares and diamonds and crosses and curves aud—and—and all the rest. Perhaps it was because they would have found their wicked desires unsatisfied if the prisoners had suddenly gone mad!

I was alone. The door stood slight­ly ajar. I could not see that it did, but I knew by the flickering of the low turned lamp that an autumn even­ing breeze was flickering in the room. I could not feel the breeze myself; tbe air did not reach me; I could not guess why.

The door stood slightly ajar. On the other side of the hall, and a score of steps beyond my door, there was one of the doors to the dining-room. That door, too, was open, for I catch the odor of food—some of it food which had been favorite eating with me. And now, how I suffered. 1 had had no food for more than twenty-four hours.

Light tones, hushed just enough to be inaudible and maddening, came in from the dining-room. There was the sound of half-suppressed laughter there. Good friends, kind neighbors, pleasant people, all o f them, but they had not forgotten the creature comforts of the earthly lift ; they had not lost all in­terest in the bright and cheery side of human affairs. I wondered whether they would have talked so carelessly, and laughed so heedlessly, if they had known that the dead woman was lis­tening to them. I wondered whether they would have been selfish enough or kind enough, 1 could not quite decide which it would have been, to have shut that dining-room door, keep­ing from me tlie odors of the food which I could not share, if they had known how hungry and thirsty I ivas. I wondered what any one of them would have done could he have known that the deceased was looking out from under her half-shut eyelids, wait­ing for the pleasure of tlie sight of a human face; would they come if they knew how lonely I was? Or would they not?

{To be continued.)

London Graveyards.There are some queer phases of life

in London which are scarcely credible to us iu this still new country. Lon­don is a very old city. The dead have been for many centuries buried in small city graveyards. Little thought is given them after tbe generation of the living to which they belong has passed away. The old graves have been forgotten in digging the new. The bones are scattered through the soil, and it would seem that in some yards fragments of bones are as plenty as stones ""in gravelly soil. A propo­sition has been recently under dis­cussion to transform many of these old graveyards into quite little parks, preserving the monumental stones, but making tlie yards garden-spots. This had led to much public dis-. cussion. The rector of Bethnal Green, Bev. Mr. Hansard, communicates to the London “Times” some very curious facts with reference to the soil of such cemeteries, and the danger to public health arising from its disturbance. But another clanger which he points out is startling. His rectory opens into an old graveyard. There is no other access to it. He says a spadeful of earth cannot be taken up without turning up human bomjs. In the part formerly devoted to the pauper inter­ment he has learned that the coffins were formerly piled one on. another in great mumbers. The result is that the surface is treacherous to footsteps. Decay has left vast cavities below. Hr. Hansard says that he has himself fallen eight times up to his waist in “ these ghastly holes*” once in passing along a gravelled walk ! His daughter has had two such plunges. In a neigh­boring graveyard he says a policeman fell in the night into a grave hole which yawned under his feet, and there remained up to his neck untilmorning. The horror of the night crazed him and he died soon afterward.

A Kurdisli Brigand at Sliort Range.On my visit in 18S5 an incident took

place which will show how law and order went on while the Turk sits gurgling the smoke through his water pipe. On the bench I came across a fellow in a picturesque costume, and with one of the most fiendish faces it has ever been my chance to gaze upon. It was Mephistophelian, but then Mephistopheles was a gentleman, and there was nothing of that kind in this case. Pure malignity could be traced in every line of the visage I had lie- fore me. Being alone, and not know­ing a word of the language, I made signs to Mm that I wanted to sketch, and he, like most Easterners I have met, had no objections, and willingly stood for me. To be made into a picture seems to touch whatever vanity there may be. and this brute bad a touch of that in him. 'While the sketching was going on, our interpre­ter came ashore with some others of our parly, and at my request inquiries were begun as to who my model might be,

He stated that be was a Kurd, and bad come down from the mountains about some business. He cracked, picked, and ate walnuts while the sketching and questioning went on. Talking to him about it, ihe interpre­ter chanced to ask why he had not a sword or a dagger; to which he replied that he did not require them; it was not his way of doing things.

“What things ?’’ was the natural in­quiry.

“Of killing people.”“Ob, vou Mil people, do you ?”«Yes ”“How do you kill them ?”“I stand concealed behind a rock on

the road, and wait till travellers came up, and when they are close I shoot them.

“ What for?”“To get what they have,”“Then you rob all that you kill ?” “Yes.”“How many have you killed in your

time?”“Thirteen men and three ^Russians.” Why he placed the Russians in a

different classification was, unfor­tunately, not cleared up. I regretted afterward that this point ivas left so, but at the moment such a trifle did not seem of any importance iD com­parison to tlie astonding disclosures this piece of humanity was making. All the time there was a well pleased simper on his face, while he nibbled away at the walnuts. The simper, I suppose, resulting from the satisfaction he felt that his picture was being made,

“Where are you going when you leave Batoum?” the interpreter con­tinued.

“When my business is finished, I will return to the mountains again.”

“What will you do there?”“Oh, please God, I hope to shoot the

first traveller I see, and lake whatever he has.”

W liy People W e re Buried.When people began to bury their

dead they did so in the firm belief in another life, which life was regarded as the exact counterpart of thjspresent one. The unsophisticated savage, holding that in that equal sky his faithful dog would bear him company, naturally enough had the dog in ques­tion killed and buried with him, in order that it might follow him to the happy hunting ground. Clearly, you can’t hunt without your arrows and tomahawk; so the flint, weapons and trusty bow accompanied their owner to his new dwelling place. The wood­en haft, the deer sinew bowstring, the, perishable articles of food and drink, have long since decayed within the damp tumulus; but the harder stone andearthern ware articles have sur­vived till now, to tell the story of their crude and simple early faith. Yery crude and illogical, indeed, it was, however, for it is quite clear that the actual body of the dead man was thought of a$ persisting to Jive a sort of underground life, A stone hut was constructed for its use, real weap­ons and implements were left by its side, and slaves and wives were ruth­lessly massacred, as still in Asliantee, in order that their bodies might ac­company the corpse of the buried mas­ter in his subterranean dwelling. In all this we have clear evidence of a very inconsistent, savage,materialistic belief, not indeed in the immortality of the soul, but in the continued under­ground life of the body.

DRPRICESSPECIAL

A Sect o f Murderers.A horrible religious sect lias been

established in Bussia. The chief doc­trine held is that it is a sin to let men suffer bodily pain, on which account sick people belonging to the organiza­tion are strangled. The existence of the sect was betrayed by a young peasant of the government o f Saratof, whose sick wife had been kidnapped from his dwelling during liis absence, and would have been put to a violent death*but for his timely interposition. Both the mother and the aunt o f ’ the sick woman belonged to this -sect, and it was they who had intended putting her to the “ red death,” as this Sort of killing is called.

^Returning home one day, the young husband found that his wife had been removed to the bouse of bis mother in an adjacent village. He hurried to the place, and found his wife still alive, but washed, wrapped in white linen, and.laid upon a bier. The sick wo­man had no idea of the purpose for which she bad been so laid out, and the husband, being suspicious, deter­mined to watch the development of events. He consoled Ms wife, and then, hiding himself behind a wide stove, waited the arrival of liis rela­tives. In time he heard some one enter the room and turn the lock be­hind him. Looking out from bis hid­ing-place, lie saw that it was a man dressed in blood* red clothes bearing a large pillow in his hands, A minute later he heard a stifled groan come from the bier. To rush from bis place and fell the would-be murderer to the ground was tbe work o f a mom­ent, but the man in red seized his chance and escaped. A few days later no fewer than forty-two members of the sect were arrested by the police.

’ A Natural Barometer.In the village of Meyrin (canton of

Geneva), Switzerland, some disused wells have been hermetically sealed to serve as barometers to the people. An orifice about an inch in diameter is made in the cover of the well by which the internal air is put in communica­tion with the external. When the air pressure outsidediminishes on the ap­proach of a storm the air in the well escapes and blows a whistle in con­nection with the orifice, and in this way notice of a storm’s approach is given to tlie inhabitants. If, on the contrary, the pressure Increases, a different sound is produced' by the entry of the air into the well, and tlie probability of fine weather is annouced:

A n Interesting Criminal.“I’ve been on the track of an in-

teresting'criminal,” said the detective. “She’s in Canada. Beat me by ten minutes. I ’m an Eastern man, and she’s been at work in my territory— Connecticut, Her name is Hattie Davis, and she’s twenty-four, as hand­some and robust as Juno ought to have been i f her pictures are correct. Her ‘lay’ was to locate in a town, get a prosperous man to»make love and pro­pose to her, arrange an early wedding, on the eve of which, she. would bolt with the presents. She did three jobs Is Hew York and Connecticufein eight months, and they paid about fifteen hundred dollars. She %as a picture of unprotected innocence when working up a job, and did her work as neat as a cabinet maker. She traded, gentle­man, on the almost universal manly weakness ” for an. eyeable woman. She’s shrewd, and was, I am told, trained for her work by a sister, who was once an expert in the same line, but has been shelved by the ravages o f time.”

A New Use for Eggs.Everyone is familiar with the value

of the yolk of an egg as a hair wash, but perhaps may not be aware of its virtue in clothing cleansing. Beaten up with alcohol, eau de cologne, or either, like ox gall, it keeps better and is more powerful; or, in simpler cases, it may be used alone, oi: merely mixed with water, to be rubbed on with flan­nel, for removing from colored ma­terials the stains of mud, or of coffee and chocolate, when prepared with milk. It is frequently applied to vel­vet collars and cuffs, etc., and proves a cleanser, as well as a spot extractor. When it has done its work it is washed off with soap, and the material thorouofily rinsed in pure water. Egg has a specially good effect on these annoying patches of wheel grease be­longing to- the compound classes o f stains, as they represent a mixture of stale grease, iron and other substances.

“I ’ve Married Em.”McCoy, when be came to ScottCoun-

ty, went to work for a farmer named Hitt, who had a very charming daugh­ter, Emma, A young man, whom Parmer Hitt had repeatedly driven from the place, continued to come around, paying his addresses to the daughter, until finally the farmer, despairing of keeping him away by any milder means, hired McCoy to thrash him every time he came near. Once or twice, or maybe more, the young man came, saw the girl, took his thrashing, and departed. But one day there came the end of this sort of thing. McCoy, returning from town, where he had gone as a driver and escort for the daughter, approached the father, saying: “Well, Mr. Hitt, I ’ve settled this business of that young fellow’s coming around here to see Em.”

“What do you mean ?” asked the far­mer.

“I mean that be won.t come any more, an’ you can bet on it.”

‘Why, Mac, you haven’t killed him have you?” asked the farmer, fear­fully.

“Ho. Better than that.”“ What then?”‘Tve married Em.”The old farmer flew into a dreadful

rage, hut McCoy had the girl, and there was no getting her away from him, so Parmer Hitt, like a sensible man, made the most of it, and gave his son-in-law a piece of land, which he is now tilling, while “Em” minds the babies like a dutiful wife.

A Sailor, Describes a B all.Tlie BnckspOrt Clipper's nauticle

editor went to a Hew York’s ball. He says tbe ladies “had pennants, burgees, and pilot flags all over them and a heavy cloud of light, good settiDg sails. A breeze sprung up,” says this nautical man. “ ‘First four right and left!’ W as the order. The inshore craft hove up, struck a choppy sea, and sailed back and forth, passing each other with their, port tacks aboard. Then, catch­ing a flaw of wind, they bore a w a y down outside the lines with an eight- knot breeze, rounded to, and comeback before a ten-knot souther.” The old salt says he did not quite understand all the maneuvres, but he considered them an improvement on the old-time fore-and-aft breakdown in an old barn.—Lewistown {Me.)

Custer’s Pet.A t one lime Gen, Custer tamed a

tiny field mouse, and kept it in a large empty inkstand on his desk. It grew very found o f him, and run over his head and sholuders, and even through his hair. I had, for­tunately, only to keep away from the desk while the little creature was free, for it was contented to consider that liis domain. The general, tMnMng at last it was cruel to detain the little thing indoors, when it belonged by nat’ure to tbe fields, took it out and left it on the plain. The kindness was of no earthly use; like the oft-quoted prisoner of the Bastile. It was back again at tbe steps in no time, and pre- fering captivity to freedom.

Overdrawn.W e waste words, and do not under­

stand the charm o f simplicity. Take the old ballads of any people, and few adjectives will be found. The singer says: “He laughed; she wept.” Per­haps the poet of a more advanced age might say: “He laughed in scorn; she turned away and shed tears of disappointment.” But nowadays tlie ambitions young writer must pro­duce something like this: “A bard, fiendish laugli, pitiless and scornful, forced its passage from his throat through the lips that curled in mock­ery at her appeal; she covered her despairing face, and a gush and whirl­wind of sorrowing agony burst forth in her irresistible tears.”

Painlessly Removed.Everybody bas experienced the pain

and annoyance o f “something getting into the eye,” What should he done when this happens? In the majority of cases, i f the sufferer has the patienc to close the eye gently, and keep i immovably closed for from five min utes to a quarter of an hour, the offending particle will be safely and painlessly washed away by the tears which the eye will naturally shed at the time of the occurrence.

An Old House.There is a house in Fhiladephia t h a t

Dread o f tlie XTnknown.Yery often, my son, it is the dread

o f punishment, rather than tlie punisli- ment itself, that restrains us from evil doing. Many times a boy would gladly run away and go fishing on Sunday if lie could only get liis father to thrash him before besets out; then he could enjoy the whole long day without a pang. But when he has to wait until evening for it, the dread of that unknown ill that awaits him douds all his skies and pitches all his songs in a minor key.

A dandy with a cigar in his mouth, on board a steamboat, once stepped up to a .foreigner, and said. “Pray, sir, do gentlemen smoke in your country?” “Gentlemen do not smoke in any country,” was tbe laconic reply.

Senator Yoorliees wife is dead-.

The naval department at Washing­ton, lias received another boom, A daughter was born in Secretary Whit­ney's family, Sunday.

The sheriff o f Cook County showed his appreciation o f affairs matrimon­ial, by refusing to allow the marriage o f the anarchist, Spies, and the Van Zandt girl.

Pinkerton men are being tabooed by Yew Jersey legislature as well as In Mlghigan. The ease with which they have been in the habit o f shoot­ing innocent people of late gives them a bad odor.

Mrs. YanZandt, mother of the young lady who thought she must marry Spies, the anarchists, has very sensibly concluded that now is a good time to travel, and will consequently take her cranky daughter to Europe untill the hangman gets to his work.

The legislature is trying to skim the motrimony business for ministers and justices along the southern border, by providing a license law for wed­dings. This will keep off runaway- matches from Hoosierdom.

The legislature is trying to make another change in the Mighigan meth­od of keeping time. Just when every­thing gets settted to the habit of keep­ing uniform time, the old method comes upon us once more.

Dakota has 3,905 schools, 5,055 teach­ers, $;:,0C0,0J0 worth o f school proper­ty, and spends annually SG9i,000 for teachers’ salaries, but she votes the Republican ticket, and that is the rea­son she is kicked and cuffed by Demo­cratic statesmen at Washington.— Inter Ocean.

A proposition is before the House at Lansing to appoint a joint committee o f the House and Senate to investi­gate newspaper charges o f improper management of the Soldiers’ Home at Grand Rapids. This arises from a communication from Graud Rapids to a Chicago paper, a few days since, charging the most flagrant neglect and abuse o f inmates who were sick and in need o f special care.

The European countries have been Whetting their knives and filling tlieir haversacks until once more a war in­volving all Europe is imminent, and the Paris EigarO says inevitable. Then Uncle Sam will be f ully prepared to keep them well fed and supplied with ammunition, and whistle slc’em, That is about the way they acted while were baying our little four year’s set to.

Some Pinkerton men have just com­mitted another murder in a Yew Jersey town where they were called up­on to protect some property, through a strike, the victim in this case being an unoffending boy. There are tho?e in our legislature who think those men should not be culled into this state with their rifles, and iiaye concentrated their thoughts into a bill prohibiting all but citizens of this State from be­ing sworn as special police or deputy sheriffs.

The high license law o f St. Louis, the tax being increased from $550 to $ 1,200, has increased the revenue from that source from $547,000 to $1,842,000 in the last four years, part o f the in­crease being due to the growth of the city. But in spite o f such growth, the number of saloons has diminished one- fifth, and is now 721 less than it was four years ago. Whether the amount o f drinking has diminished in like proportion is a question concerning which actual statistics would be dif­ficult to obtain. It is, however, thought to-have- diminished perceptibly.

Senator Edmonds proposes a remedy for the fishery troubles with Canada by giving the President discretionary power to refuse entrance to any of the ports o f United States to any vessel from British Yorth America, under penalty of seizure of the vessel, and cargo, and a fine not exceeding $1000, or imprisonment of not more than two years. Such denial to be used in case farther arbitrary encroachments upon the rights of American fishermen by the Canucks. The president is also empowered by the bill to prohibit the entrance of any Canadian goods into the United States. The bill Is simply feeding the Canadians on a bit of their own kind of food.

Mr. Q. G, Bonney has prepared a bill for congress to form a “Legion of Honor” to be composed o f persons who have been long and faithful In public civil service, or any person who shall have performed any act of hero­ism, or for any conspicuous achieve­ment, by which the whole people have been benefitted, and the members to receive a pension for life. Mr. Bon­ney gives as a one of bis reasons for pro­moting this measure, that England has such a crowd. England, has a great many things we do not want, nor any­thing like them, England has a crown and a very extensive and expensive royal family, which is different from anything we want, and next to the string of dukes, earls, and other no­bles, comes the Legion of Honor.. Every true American citizen is a Legion of Honor in himself but that does not require him to have a govern­ment pension.

A s a careful estimate of the Con­tinental nayal armaments by the English admiralty, the articles by Sir Edward Reed on the navies o f Europe, in Harper’s Magazine, deserve at­tentive Study from every one who Would understand the relative mari­time equipments o f the great powers. The January portion of this subject was devoted to the French navy. The forth-coming February Humber con­cludes the matter with a review of, the Italian, Russian, German, Austrian, and Turkish navies. Their compara­

tive strength proves to be in the order we have giving them. The explana­tion o f each nation's peculiar method o f naval construction shows the reason why Italy ranks third among the European navies, following England and France, and leading Germany and Russia. Tho illustrations are very complete and strong.

Chamberlain’s Fiasco.L ansing, Jan. 25.—The scheme of

Mr. Henry Chamberlain to bulldoze the duly elected governor of the state of Michigan and to have Impeachment proceedings begun against the said officer, got its quietus in tire house to­day at the hands of the judiciary com­mittee and the vote o f the house con­curring unanimouslyin its report. Mr. Diekema, the chairman of the com­mittee, reported its finding that section 15 of article 5 of the constitution reads as follows: “Y o member of congress nor any person holding office under tbe United States or this state shall execute the office of governor.” The committee found the facts o f Gov. Luce’s incumbency o f the office of member of the board of agriculture and governor o f the state and his elec­tion to the latter office as recited in the petition, and that he did not for­mally and In writing resign Ins posi­tion as member of the state board of agriculture. But it also reported that while no question has ever been previously raised under the section of the constitution, quoted, the question at issue lias often been settled with entire unanimity by the house of representatives at Washington under a similar provision of the constitution of the United: States, which reads as follows:

Y o person holding office under the United States shall oe a member of either house during his continuance in office.

The committee report then pro­ceeds: “As early as tbe fifeenth cou- gress it was held in the case of George Mumford of Yorth Carolina, w ho held a federal office at the time o f his elec­tion to congress, that a formal resigna­tion o f his office was nob necessary i f he ceased to discharge its duties before taking his seat in congress. In the thirty-eighth congress the committee on elections reported that the accep­tance o f and entering upon the dis­charge o f the duties o f an office which from the nature or its duties or from express, legal or constitutional pro­hibition Is incompatible w’ith another previously held, ipso facto vacates the former office from the time of the ac­ceptance and entering upon the dis­charge o f the duties assigned to the latter office, and hence that a formal resignation Is not necessary in any such case.” The committee quoted Cushing and the common law to the same effect, and concludes its report as fol­lows: “The reason for this ruling is plain. A man may be elected to an incompatible office against his will, but he remains free to choose in which of the two ollices he will serve. The mere election to one office unac­companied with consent cannot force a man out of an incompatible office. I f this were not the case a man hold­ing a high, office might at any time lose his office by being elected, although against his will, to a low, incompatible office. Anciently this was tried in England, but the officer was reinstated In his old office by the courts.

“Our state constitution does not say no man holding office under this state ‘shall be elected’ to the office o f gov­ernor. “The govornor elected at the general election in Yovember was free to exercise his choice between the two incompatible offices until tbe lime came for him to be sworn in as gov­ernor, and when he took his oath of office as governor any incompatible office he was then holding became ipso facto vacant.

“ Your committee, therefore, recom­mend that the prayer of the petitioner requesting this body to direct an im­peachment of said Cyrus G. Luce be denied.”

Mr. Chamberlain did not appear be fore the committee at all, although for­mally notified to do so, and thus falls flat one of the cheapest and flimsiest attempts at a sensation that has been made in the recent legislati ve history of the state.

What are called “geographical soc­ials” is one of Coldwater’s stupen­dous society wrinkles just now, in the inteiest of the heathen.

Then each gent hunts up the county seat of his county to take to refreshments. I f you cannot tell the county seat belonging to ycur county you must pay 10 cents to tne fund as a forfeit before you can obtain the de­sired information.

------------------------------Th e following extract from a letter

dated Jan, 14, at Log Angeles, Califor­nia, will be of interest to some of our readers.

Arthur Allen is here, I see him quite often. He is improving in health. Mr. A . Miller was here for a week, and a home sicker man you never saw, al­though he could get plenty o f woik at five or six dollars per day. Mr. Black was here and stoped a few day* with us. I am going where Rolla lives to­morrow on a short visit. Only two rains since the 29th o f last March; fair prospect of a dry season. Real estate is booming to beat any thing I ever saw. I have just sold one piece of property for §1,580 advance, and have another piece that I have refused §1,775 advance. I wish you would tell Mr. Black that from the 75 ft. front­age upon thehill near wherel was build­ing when he was here, that I tryed to get him to buy for $1,500, 25 ft. was sold for $1,000 and I bought the other 50 ft. and had tp pay §1,500 for it. I have a 24 room honse nearly com­pleted on the 50 ft. He could have made § 1,000 in a very short time: Yours respectfully.- -

G A L IE N IT E M S.January 20th, 1887,

On account of failing health Dr. C. J. Bulhand has been compelled to give up his practice here in Galien, for the winter. The Dr. and family Will spend the winter at his fathers, near Niles. I f he should fully recover his health he will be back in the spring, to Tesume his practice.

Mr. Tint Smith has been appointed president of the- village to fill the vacancy made by the resignation of Dr. C. J. Bulhand.

M. L . Tantilburg has purchased the photographers car, standing just south of the old hotel. Mart is turning out some very nice work.

There was a spelling school, Friday evening the 21st, at the South school house, were Ed. Blakeslee is teaching. Several schools participated in the exercises. Miss Emma TJnruh, of the Sooth school, carried off the. prize, which consisted of a nice collection of classic poems.

Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Yaw, lost their baby Friday evening. Funeral Sun­day, at the Center church.

Mrs. Geo. Fretenburg died very sud­denly Wednesday, the 14th, about 2 o’clock p. m. of paralysis of the brain. The funeral held Sunday, at 10:30 In the Baptist church. Mrs. Fretenburg leaves the record of a consistent Chris­tian, and lias many friends who mourn her loss.

C. A . Clark has been on tlie sick list for the past week, some better at the present writing.

Our old townsman, Porter Churchil, now of northern Dakota, is now seen on onr streets shaking hands with his many friends. *

The Lyceum has kindly given off their meeting next Tuesday evening for the lecture of Prof. Aiesliire. Sub­ject “Whats Trumps,” come out and bear him.

The critic at the Lyceum took a lit­tle exception to “U. No’s” note of the purchase of an organ by that society. Now we did not wish to say any tiling derogatory to the little instrument, as it is very beautiful and the volume of music which it throws forth is won­derful. It is fortunate that the critic told us that the little pet has a bridge, hut from the present appearances we must infer that it is a pontoon.

The Salvation Army in Dowagiac gets egged while marching along the streets. Such heathenish work can al\yays'.be credited to the saloons, and the crowd of loafers who frequent them, and the amount o f such work in a town, can be taken as a fair measure o f the inroads made on that crowd by the army.

The Franklin hank note company, of New York, has begun suit against the city of Adrian for $850 for printing the bonds with which Tom Navin at­tained notoriety and prison stripes, Navin sent a check in payment of the work immediately after it was due, but the company neglected to have tbe paper cashed promptly, and later an injunction issued restraining the hank which held Adrian city funds from disposing of them. The reason for bringing tbe suit in New York is a mystery.—Detroit Journal.

Eugene Hale has been reelected to repre­sent the “ Pino Treo” state in the senate for the nest s is years. Ho lias just patsed his 60th year, but does not belie ills name in a p -t

poarance; he is ap- p a r* o n tly in his prime. Mr. Halo is a native oE Maine. He promised well in his youth, being ad­mitted to tho bar on reaching bis ma­jority. H o r o s e rapidly in bis pro-

* fession, and was for nine years a county attorney. A t the age oE SI ho was elected to the state

e c g b h b a l e - legislature, and twoyears later, in 1SOO, he was sent to congress, where he remained until 1S79, serving live successive terms. In 1SS1 ho was chosen United States senator, and will now succeed himself fo r tho second term. He was ap­pointed postmaster general b y President Grant, but be declined the position. Presi­dent Hayes tendered him a position, in bis cabinet, which be also declined, preferring to give his services entirely to his nativo state, a u d it is for this attachment to their inter­ests that tho people o f Maine again honor him.

tame that Dawes was born. Y oung Dawes was graduated from T ale w ith honor and imme­diately engaged in teaching. Later he edited tw o local papers. Turning his. attention to law he became a successful member o f tho Massachusetts bar. His growing popularity soon brought him into political prominence, and he was elected to the Massachusetts legislature, as stated before. A fter a term there he was returned to tho senate, and in 1S53 again to the lower house. From 1S53 to 1S57 he was district attorney. In 1S57 ha was elected a member o f tbe thirty-fifth congress and continuously re-elected to the following eight congresses up to the Forty- fourth, the term ending in 1S77. Thus he might have been twenty years in congress up to that time. But the record was broken by Ins promotion to tbe senate on March 4,1875, as thosnccessor o f Charles Sumner. When his term expired in lSSl he was re-elected, an honor which has again fallen to him, Tho term to which ho has just been elected will expire in 1893.

tho first man to enlist from Connecticut, and at the close o f the war one o f the very lasfcof the volunteer army to retire, which ho did with the rank o f m ajor general. On his return from the war he was elected governor o f Con­necticut. In 186S he presided at the national convention which nominated Grant tho first tune. In 1873 ho was elected a representative to the Forty-secoud congress, and was re­elected to the Forty-third and Forty-sixth congresses; after which he was elected United States senator nnd is now re-elected for a sec­ond term. He was president of the United States Centennial commission from its organ­ization in 1873 to its final meeting in 1S79, and to the success o f the International exhibition o f 1870 be contributed more than probably any individual.

S en a tor-e lect fr o m fiXicliigan.Gol. Francis B. Stockbridge, o f Kala­

mazoo, Mieb., who has just been elected senator from tbat state, is one o f its mil­lionaire lumber andrailroad men. Ho has always contrib­uted largely to the campaign funds Of tho Republican party. Ho might have received many honors from his party long before this; even the nomi­nation fo r gover- ^ uorship was offered to him, but bo was * obliged to decline p . n. stockbridge. them on. account o f the ill health o f bis wife. Tho colonel is one o f those big, open hearted “ hail-fellow-well-met” sort o f men who always have a host of friends. He is a lover o f fast horses, and is delighted at bearing good stories, o f which he himself is well sup­plied. Ho is a nativo of Maine and 61 years o f age. He went west when a boy and wont into lumber for a living. Ha founded a busi­ness in Michigan in 1850, from which bo has since reaped a fortune. In 1S69 ho was elected a member of tbe state legislature and soon after a state senator. General Grant ap­pointed him minister to The Hague, which he was obliged to decline.

S enator P r o m W iscon sin .Philehis Sawyer, elected to the senate from

Wisconsin to succeed himself, is a nativo o f Vermont, In which state ho was born, Sept 22, 1816. His father combined farm-

black- a n d

ing with s m it l i iu ! y o u n g Fhiletus early learned to work with his own hands. When he was but a year old the family removed to Essex county,

sMew Y ork state, panel his youthful/ years were passed in the Adriondacks. When lie was 17 years old Ur became

Se n a t o r s a w t e r . master of his own time. A t the ago o f 31 he went west, set­tling in Wisconsin. Having but §3,000 hefailed to make a brilliant successat farming, and turned his atten­tion. to lumbering. He first took a contract, then, rented, and finally purchased, a sawmill at Algoma, now tho city oE Osh­kosh. This enterprise proved a decided suc­cess, and Hr. Sawyer has long been reckoned among the solid men o f Wisconsin. TTis po­litical life began in the common council o f Oshkosh, and in 1S57, and again in 1SG1, ha was elected a member o f the state legislature. For two years he was mayor. In 1803, he was invited to become a candidate for congress, but declined, because o f pressing business, to run. Two years later he decided to run and was elected. He continued a member o f congress until 1S75, when be refused to be a candidate for re-election. He was elected to the senate in 1SS0, and Ins re-election by tho Republican party is evidence that his course has been satisfactory to his constituents.

S en a tor fr o m C aliforn ia .George Hearst, who was appointed last

year b y Governor Stoneman, o f California, to fill the senatorial seat made vacant b y the death of Senator Miller, has been elected for the coming senatorial term. It goes without

saying that he is a very r i c h m a n . California senators usually are. Though now a millionaire Senator Hearst be­gan life as a com­mon laborer. TUb wife, it is said, has always had aspira-

life among bis mines and ranches in the west. N o man in America feels more at home in a mine than George Hearst, nor is there living one who can excel him in judging and pros­pecting mining property. He crossed the plains in 1850, and after saving a little money he formed with, two partners a firm for speculating in mining claims. They made money rapidly, and are now among the leading mine owners, on this continent. They own the largest and most profitable mines in Butte City, M. T., as well as in California, Colorado, Mexico, Arizona and Idaho. Mr. Hearst is the sole owner o f The San Fran­cisco Examiner. One tract o f land which he holds comprises 40,000 acres, in the finest part o f California, and it Is there that the senator- hopes to end his days.____________

R e-elected ' Sonator from Connecticut. .Joseph Roswell Hawley, who has just been

re-elected senator from Connecticut, has been often mentioned as a presidential possibility. His friends base bis claim for such honor on his long public service, which begun back in 1S50, and bis party points with pride to the fact that he was nover a Democrat o r Whig, H o began in politics as a Free Soiler, writing fo r The Republican, a Free Soil paper later merged into The Press, which ho afterward owned and ran ns the organ o f the Republi­can party, and which finally became the pres­ent Hartford Conrant, which he still owns.

I t isdltficult t o determine whether it is as journalist, soldier, governor, representative

or senator that Gen. Hawley has ren-

> dered the greatest service to his party and country. He was b om in North Carolina in 1S20. His father was a B a p t i s t minister and a nativo of ConnectscuLYoung Joseph’s first politi-

tended. A t tho age o f 11 his family moved to Connecticut, whero young Hawley con­tinued his studies, graduating in. 1847 at Hamilton college, New York. Immediately after leaviug college ho began the study of law and took an active part in politics. Ho was'a delegate to the national Free Soil con­vention o f 1853, as he was to tho national Republican convention o f 1856, and to almost every succeedin g national convention o f that party since;

H e was ap­pointed United States attorney inlS6S, which position be filled until 1S73, when he resigned to become the Republican candidate for gov­ernor o f Minnesota, to which position he was elected. Unlike many o f tho western sena­tors, Governor Davis is not a rich man, though he has a large income from his law practice.

C hicago W an ts a n A rm y .Sixty-six citizens o f Chicago want a stand­

ing army at its gates. Chicago always had a way or its own, hut this seems a queer wrinkle even fo r the Ing city b y tbe lake.

A number o f rich Chicago men last sum­mer, bought Highland park. I t is about one square mile o f land lying on LakeHich- i g a n , ^eaty-& Y em jf£/i/m pAi miles north o f C a -“ -cago. It was bought, by the Commercial club. Am ong its purchasers one finds the name o f the new Illinois s e n a t o r ,Hon. C. B. Fai-welL

Soon after tiie'JJ park was bought, a. resolution was in­troduced Into the h ig k l a k d p a r k . senate, b y Mr. Logan, authorizing the secre­tary o f w ar to accept as a gift a deed of Highland park to the United States govern­ment. Seeing that the United States has a good deal o f land lying about loose already, this seemed a queer g ift

But the final clause o f the resolution x'ead thus, “for military purposes.” The land was to be donated to the government on condition that a military garrison be maintained there. Chicago’s r4fc men, feeling uneasy in their minds, want United States troops per­manently stationed within call. They are afraid of the Anarchists. They wont twelve regiments. The resolution passed the senate, and was sent to tho house.

Those who read the w ar sky o£ Europe aver that there are clouds and storms ahead. Be­fore many months, they say, there will be music in the air. The speech o f Bismarck to tho reichstag has called attention anew to the subject. The equilibrium o f Europe is so tense tbat a slight blow at almost any point would shatter it to fragments.

I t is expected that the fragile fabric will crack along the line between France and Gei'- many. When Bismarck asks for additions to the army Germany means war, the prophets say. They recall that Bismarck made the same sort o f speech in the spring of 1866, and in June Of that year took place the battle of Sadowa, in which Germany decisively whipped Austria. Again, in the spring of 1870, ho called attention to tho need for strengthening tho imperial army. Sept. 3 of that year Napoleon IH and an army o f 90,000 surrendered to the Prussians a t Sedan. It is France again that Bismarck is driving a t now.

Years Cannot wipe out the wrath and shame o f Franco over- her defeat b y Ger­many. Around the beautiful Place de la Concorde in Pails are placed statues repre­senting the principal cities o f the departments o f France as they were before Sedan. Among them is Strasbourg, in the lost province o f Alsace. Ever since 1871 the statue has been hung with those ugly black and white bead funeral wreaths so common in Europe, E very year, on the anniversary o f tho taking o f theBastile, French boys are taken to the funeral statue and vowed to vengeance for the loss o f the city.

‘ -Poor Strasbourg!” the Farisianssay, “ we lost her, but wo will get her hack.”

ALSACE-LORRAINE.This map shows the provinces that France

lost to Prussia in ’TO. I t is no secret that neither France nor Germany believes that Sedan was the end o f the tussle. Germany insists that she wants peace, and would prob­ably keep it i f France would let her. But France has been breathing fire and vengeance ever since ’70, and Germany lias been strengthening her fortifications along the Alsace-Lorraine frontier. Exceeding care is taken that no French soldier, artist, or spy shall get insfdo these works and by any means get a sketch of them for the Paris government.

As to Franco. Franco has been steadily in­creasing her arm y ever since Sedan. W ar credits are voted year b y year, and small fights in A frica and elsewhere scorn to be en­couraged rather than otherwise, in order that the French soldiers might keep their hand in. Franco has made no bones about the in­creasedsizo and efficiency o f hor army. A member o f the cabinot recently said in ses­sion o f the senate that, i f i t came to the test,

i t would be found th a t!!np time h a d ‘been wasted in the last fifteen years” b y the mili­tary. The past year France has spent more than $17,000,000 on her army and defenses, Ballooning, torpedo experimenting and sen fighting, offensive and defensive, have occu pied closely the attention of the government. I t was France that made tho military balloon, effective. “Un ballon captif” was among the features o f French military operations in the Chinese waxv Its highest efficiency has only been reached since the Franco-Prussian war,

A glance at tho diagram given herewith will show the comparative size o f tho armies o f Franco and Germany. The figures show tlio two armies on a peaco footing—“pied do paix.” The peaco footing o f tho armies o£ Europe means that they are like two dogs

ih eld back in leash, waiting to fly at each other’s throats. America is lucky to bo sep­arated b y mi ocean 8,000 miles wide from Eu­rope with hor armies on a peace footing.

The diagram will show that in every branch o f military service except infantry, tho army o f France is greater than that of Germany. This Bismarck and Von Moltke knew well when they urged the legislative body o f the empire to Increase the German army.

“France,” said Bismarck, “is a strong and well armed power, her arm y is brave and rea ly to fight."

DIAGRAM.The French cavalry outnumbers that of

her great rival b y over 10)000 men. Her ar- tiliery corps is 25,000 larger and even tho French engineer corps is more than 1,000 greater. In the aims o f the service brought together under the head “Miscellaneous,” the difference is mox-e than 25,500 in favor of France. In the single branch o f infantry there is a petty 1,85S preponderance on tho side o f Germany. A ll told, the French army exceeds that o f Germany b y nearly 50,000.

And yet the battle is not always given to the greatest number. It is quite likely, it is probable even, that Germany would whip Franco again in a square, staudup fight. French soldiers are brave as lions. No man ever yet charged a son o f France with cow­ardice. Her army would fight with the im­petuosity o f the old guard at ‘Waterloo. But Frenchmen have not that quality o f “hang on” which characterizes tho Germans.

Then, alas, there are those who say that the modern Frenchman is a degenerate descend­ant o f thoso French soldiers who captured Alsace from the Germans in tho first place. They say that brandy, absintbe and debauch­ery ai;e eating out tho manhood o f France, Rugged strength and steadiness seem failing the men, they say, leaving only fu ry and noise.

ARCHBISHOP CORRIGAN

B ro u g h t I n t o P ro m in e n ce b y th o H e - G lyn n -G eorgo Affair*.

Right Reverend Michael Augustino Corri­gan, who has been brought into prominence before tbe people o f tho wholo country b y the Henry Georgo-McGlyim affair, was horn in Newark, N. J., Aug. 13,1S40. His school life was passed at Saint Mary’s college, Wilming­ton, D e l , and at Mount Saint Mary’s. Em- mettsburg. His graduation from tho latter place occurred in 1S59. Ho was one o f the twelve students with whom tho American collego in Romo opened. Father McGlynu was another. A s a student, j ’oung Corrigan evinced great ability, and won a number o f

medals in compcti-tition with students of t he Propaganda, tlio Irish and other colleges. His ordin­ation as priest took place in the Lateran Basilica, Sept. 19, 1863—a year before the completion o f

,his course in thcol- ogy. He received the degree o f doctor 0£ djyjniiy jjj 1SG4. ‘That same year ho returned to Amer-

ARcnniSHOP corrigan . ica, and was made professor of dogmatic theology and sacred scripture and director o f the ecclesiastical seminary o£ Seton Hall college. Besides this he undertook missionary work in South Orange, N. J. He was made president of the college in 1SGS. In 1S73 he was made bishop o f Newark, where he founded a reformatory for boys and women and an asylum for tho orphan boys o f his diocese, dedicated forty- two new churches and founded several l-elig- ious communities. Ho was appointed co­adjutor-archbishop to Cardinal Archbishop MeCloskey in 1880, and, upon tho latfor’s- dentli was appointed to his present high office,

Archbishop Corrigan is popular aliko with Protestants and Catholics. Ho is young in years for one so exalted in tho church, and his appearance is even more youthful. Ho has been one o f tho strongest opponents in New York o f H em y George’s theories, nnd ho made an able argument against them in a pastoral letter to tho faithful o f his church, issued Nov. 21, 1SS6. His attainments are scholarly. ' ______

MISS NINA VAN ZANDT,

T h e X ouns L a d y W lio W ould . W e d A u ­g u st Spies.

Newspaper readers are already familiar with tbe career of August Spies, tbe. Anarch­ist, who is now lying in tho Cook county jail at Chicago, under sentence of death on the charge of murder. Tho infatuation of Miss Nina Van Zaudt for him and her determina­tion to m an y him have again brought him into pi’omineuco. Ever since bis arrest and trial Spies has been spoken o f as the handsom­est o f all the accused Anarchists, and, as will be seen b y the picture o f Miss Van Zandt given here, sbo is not at all uncomely in appearance. Before her parents wont to Chicago they lived in P h ila d e lp h ia .Since their removal to tho Western city they havo given a great deal o f time nnd attention to the* poorer classes, ant’ i Mrs. V an Z a n d r and her daughter have regularly vis­ited many destitute MISS VAN zandt. fainilies. It was while carrying on this sort o f work that they became interested in the Anarchists, to whom they paid much at­tention, thinking, Mrs. Van Zaudt says, thai they would do them good.

Miss Van Zandt was educated at Vassar college, Poughkeepsie, where, especially dur­ing the latter part o f her school life, she

studied very hard and d e v e l o p e d many eccentricities o f character. I t is recorded, however, that her conduct there partook o i nothing more than the extraordinary; hut, it is stated tbar every one at Vassar felt relieved when her course o f study was finished. She is liow 20 years oi age. The notoriety

AUGUST spie s . which her infatua­tion has brought upon the family is much deprecated b y her father and mother. The sheriff - o f Cook county has received many congratulatory letters and other messages from people who-believe his course in forbid­ding tho marriage to have been a right one.

G en. L og a n a n d t lio B o x e r .One day Professor Collins, “Tho Cast Iron

Man.” appeared at the house where the Logan fam ily boarded. He wanted -to see Gen. Logan. This was not thought strange, for many people whom Gen. Logan had never met frequently called upon him to pay their respects, and he had met the boxer some­where before that. Mrs. Logan was very much surprised when Professor Collins walked in with two pairs o f gloves under his arm.

“W hy, here’s Professor Collins, and he has his boxing cloves with him!” she exclaimed.

I t is needless to say that Mrs. Logan know the professor was coming. Sho had heard of tho interest aroused among thoso who took up boxing for exercise, and slio hoped such a diversion would ho just such as the general needed. Gen. Logan never saw through tho trick? He looked up from his work and said “Good morning” to tho visitor, and ero long tho whole gathering was talking about the value o f boxing ns a means of exercise. The general took one o f tho gloves the professor held out, tried it on; then took tho other, put it on, and, began looking first at one hand, then at tho other. The professor volunteered to show him some o f the rudiments o f the art; just to while away- a few minutes, and (lie offer was accepted.

Few men ever had a better opinion of- their own strength and powers o f endurance than did Gen, Logan; When, after he had become a little toO venturesomo in bis tactics, tho athletic pugilist b y a body blow sent him sprawling, his pride was somewhat disturbed. He vowed to learn something o f tho science possessed by his antagonist, and then with his own great strength as an auxiliary he conceived lio would bo a match for most any amateur. Tho ruse was successful. Mrs. Logan was rejoiced to see her husband week after week receive visits from tho professor, Who ill duo time made an accomplished boxer o f him, and, when an opportunity offered ever after, ho sought to gratify his clcsiro for the pleasant and invigorating exercise.— "Washington Cor. Cleveland Leader.

WALT WHITMAN.THE PROPOSAL TO PENSION THF

ECCENTRIC POET.

The introduction o f a bill into congress granting a pension o f 825 a month to Walt Whitman because of his war services as hos­pital nurse, calls attention once more to the

good, gray poet.W alt Whitman is now in his 6S th year. He was born on Long Island in 1S19. On reaching manhood he was alternately printerl

WALT WHIT1IAK.

restless nature led him to a true Bohe­mian life, which ho lived for a dozen

years or more around New York. During this period he received the inspiration which pro­duced “Leaves o f Grass,” on which liis fame rests, mid about which there are so many opinions. A t tho Outbreak of the war he joined tho Union army as a hospital nurse, and served in that capacity three years.

In a quiet, little frame cottage on Mickle street in Camden, N. J., W alt Whitman lias passed much o f his life since tho war. I t is as unpretentious as the venerable poet him­self, and its outward and inward appearance have much o f tho quaintness o f character that clings about the life and works o f tho man. A long, dark and cool hallway leads to tho stall's, which one must mount to find the poet, fo r he seldom conies down to receive visitors. On reaching the landing, tho matronly housekeeper who attends to his cozy homo and who has kindly ushered tho visiter upstairs, points to the small door o f liis room, which is standing slightly ajar. A rap on tho snow white panels is answered by a cheerful “ Come in.”

WALT WHITMAN AT HOME.The poet is seated in a large armchair o f

the pattern long since unfashionable, and over the back o f which is tossed an enormous “comfortable,” presented to the poet b y the young ladies o f the nighhorhood. He does n ot rise to m eet the visitor, but with anahr of extreme cordiality asks that ho he seated. Around tho room are evidences o f tbe start­ling unconventionalifcy of his mode o f living; everything is o f the plainest sort, and tho striking contrast between this little “work room,” as he delights to call it, and the so termed "studies” o f other* writers, is some­thing striking, to say the least. A plain old- fashioned maple bedstead is covered by snowy white linen sheets and a patchwork quilt that must have been made by hands that have long ago ceased their labor o f love. A n old time wood stovo that stood iu tho center of the room brought to the writer’s mind recollections o f childhood’s home and tho stove in the “best room” that had been for­gotten many years before. Files of wood that lined the wall beneath the mantel showed good provision for the long winter. A few odd bits o f equally liistic and antique patterned furniture completed tbe picture that seemed to bo a part of the poet. He had been reading frem a small book at the time o f the visit here de­scribed, and the first impression received was one of surprise; foi*, despite his. great age and white lories, ho used no glasses and seemed easily able to read the small print. His liair, long and white, hung grace­fully down over his shoulders, and tho long white board that covered the greater part of his face lent Mm tho appearance o f one far past his number of years.

A n open front shirt, with a great broad collar, which he never ceases to keep open in summer or winter, and a suit o f soft gray color, was the simple costume in wMch he was found. In conversation he was a fluent talker, lias a good strong musical voice, and likes nothing better than to have some one sit awhile and tell him o f tbe doings of the great busy world without. I t has been Ms habit for years to cross and recross the ferry between FMladelpliia and Camden, and nothing but the howling “nor’easter” could induce him to stay at homo and miss his favorite study o f character on tho big boats that p ly the Delaware river. His great­est desire is to write poems upon nature in her different moods, and to ac­complish this he incessantly tramped about in the woods and fields and along the water’s edge, hut Ms face lias been sadly missed by those who were wont to meet him upon the highways or tho boats, and catch his sunny smile and cheerful “Howdy, sir.”

. WALT WHITMAN’S HOME.He has written all his lifetime, and yet is

without a publisher for his works. Consid­erable difficulty -was experienced b y the pub­lishers who attempted to issue his “Lea.ves of Grass,” on account o f certain fines in the hook which were objected to b y many critics. His method o f writing is peculiar and distinc­tive, and has drawn much attention, though he lias not been successful In making any money.

It is a beautiful sight to see this noble oldman upon the mam street o f his town; sur­rounded by a swarm o f bright and pretty little school children.

W a lt W h itm a n 's P en sion C laim .Speaking o f liis claim for a pension, the

good, gray poet recently said:.“I was never enlisted in the army, but I

was with the Ninth Arm y Corps at the .first battle o f Fredericksburg and looked after tlio wounded until tho end o f the war, and, in fact, I was at the hospitals at Washington helping for twelve months after the war. It was whilo assisting at a surgical operation that I heeamo blood poisoned throughout my system, after which I became prostrated by hospital malaria, which finally caused my paralysis.”

French Tax on Unmarried Men.In Paris it is announced that in all prob­

ability tho much talked o f tax on unmarried men w ill soon becomo a law. In Paris there are 490,000 unmarried men against 880,000 who havo mado the perilous venture; and suppose the new tax-should effect its purpose, thero is likely to bo a terrific scramble, as there are only 416,000 spinsters to satisfy the requirements o f nearly 500,000 bachelors.

THE INDIANA CONTEST.

A R epublican , a D em ocrat and a L abor Candidate fo r Senator.

No contest' fo r senatorial honors has been more hotly contested this year than that in Indiana. Pictures and sketches o f three can­didates—Senator Harrison' (Republican),Judge Tui'pio (Democrat) and Jason M. AlLen (Labor-Greenback)—are hero given.

Benjamin Harrison, mentioned by tho Re­publicans for the senate, was born in Mil- ton comity, Ohio, Aug. 20, 1838. He was

graduated at the Oxford university and pursued the Study of law for two years in Cin­cinnati. Iu 1S54 lie began to prac­tice law iu Indian­apolis, and has re­sided in tbat city ever since, save when his official [duties required his ! presence inW ash- I ington. In I860 he [ was chosen re-

Hj porter o f tho Indi­ana supreme court.

benjamin Harrison . On the break­ing out o f the war, howover, he enlisted in tho Union forces and shortly after received a commission as second lieutenant. A little later he organized Company A , Seventieth Indiana volunteer infantry, and was placed in command o f the regiment, after a short en­gagement. He served with distinction during the war, and was mustered out June, 1SG5, with the rank o f brigadier general. Ho was acandidato for governor on tho Republican side in 1SG6, but was defeated. Hr was appointed on tho Mississippi river commission in 1879. He was United States senator from Indiana in 1SS0, succeeding Joseph B. McDon­ald. He is a descendant of the Harrisons of revolutionary fame and of President Ilarri- son.

David Turpio, named for senator by the Democrats of Indiana, is o f Scotch descent. His early life was passed in Indiana, when but a lad he asked a friend to teach him the Latin grammar. In his study of this ancient language he proved so apt that Greek was next essayed, and tho friend rec-: ords that young Turpie “ literally] d e v o u r e d ” th e Greek and Latin classics in his lib­rary, and at about the same time the “ UMversal History ” iu twenty octavo volumes. Soon after he left college Mr. Turpie was elected to tho state legislature and has ever since been prominent among tbe people o f bis state.

Capt. J. H. Allen, who received the votes o f the Labor members o f tho Indiana legis­lature fo r United States senator, and who thus swung the “ balance o f power” between Harrison and Turpie, the regular nominees, is o f Irish extraction, and was born in Missis­

sippi He was con­scripted into the Confederate s e r - vice, but embraced the first opportunity to leave the south and join the Union army, to the causo of which he was de­votedly attached. He was in some of the most important battles o f the civil war, and received a severe wound,

wMch left him slightly lame. Ho served at one time as a courier- for Gen. Grant. After the war he taught school in Indiana, was for a time associate editor o f The Terre Haute Express, became prominent as a Greenback- Labor agitator, and took an active part later in the Irish movement in America organized to co-operate with the Irish Land league. He is now engaged iu tbe drug business in Terre Haute.

CAPT. J. H. ALLEN.

Bliss C leve lan d 's H om e.It is pleasant to know that Miss Cleveland

has made enough from her literary work to refit her cottage at Holland Patent through­out. Holland Patent is a village near Utica, N. Y . Her father went there as pastor when Rose Elizabeth was 7 years old. He died in a few weeks, leaving Ms wife with a great many dependent children. Rose is the voung- est o f nine. After her father’s death some Presbyterian friends presented to the widow a cottage for a homo for the bereft family. This is tbe cottage iu which Miss Cleveland now lives, though it has been made over and improved till it hardly knows itself.

HOME AT HOLLAND PATENT.Tho village o f Holland Patent ge ts its name

from tho ancient patent or grant o f land made to Lord Holland by the British govern­ment. There are no more than 500 people in the town. But it is a pleasant place to live- i f one is tired of tlio clash and turmoil o f life, and there Miss Cleveland lives, meditates and writes.

Rose Elizabeth has some o f the quaint old furniture that belonged to her mother. In tbe dining room is an oldfashioued mahogany sideboard. Thero are wide, open fireplaces. Across, beneath tho tall mantelpiece in the library, are inscribed the words, “O, ye fire and heat, bless yo the Loi*d.’ ’

Miss Cleveland is profoundly religious, say­ing grace before each meal.
