RUTH'S TEMPTATION.BY X. Mr

Anonymous 1- t in s fire entitled to no honest prrs-m’s consideration, and Leigh, in tin; first- heat of righteous in­dignation at this anonymous scandal­monger, tin list the sheet in the Hume of the lamp, aud it was soon reduced to ashes. Hut a doubt had been plant­ed in his mind. Could it be possible that the innocent face of tlie girl he loyal could lie tiie mask of ip heart so deceitful as that? "Mrs. Stapleton he knew to be a fasliiomtble, worldly wise woman; but Iluth,—no, lie ■would not believe that she could be that false creature, a coquette.

IliS friend. Chailie Jarvis, who had lately arrived from St. Louis, railed at him so much concerning his depression that Leigh coultl endure it no longer.

“Come aud take u row with me,” he said, “and l will tell yon the whole story. I swear I never was more in need of a friend than now, to convince me that there is something- in tlie uni­verse that is not false. I have begun to doubt the evidence of my own senses."

They were soon in a boat, and Leigh’s vigorous strokes sent them skimming over the surface of the smootli waters. There was no breeze, the sun shone hot, and tlie waters re­flected the rays almost with the force of a metallic mirror.

“Doesn’t it strike you that it would be a trille more comfortable in the shade, Leigh V” asked Charlie, as he removed his liat to wipe the prespira- tion from liis broiv. “Directly after lunch isn’t the most favorable time for a boat ride, is it, anyway V What do you say to running into one of those coves on the western shore, aud there cooling ourselves while you unburden your miudV”

“I’m a brute to bring you out in this way!” exclaimed Leigh, “I do really believe I am losing my senses.”

“You’re in love, my dear fellow, I’ll wager anything. You can’t have finan­cial difficulties, so it must be love. I know tlie signs,—rapt abstraction, an evident absence of mind in the absence of tlie fair one, and in ease of tlie with­drawal for a season of the beaming rays of affection, melancholy and tael' tursity.”

“Don’t be so ready to make fun of everything, Charlie, just wait until the little god sends a shaft in your direc­tion and you’ll find that it ’s no laugh­ing matter,” said Leigh, laughing, but not altogether at ease.

He drew the boat into a little cove in the shore of tlie lake, where dense shadows fell from the great trees which grew close to the •water’s edge and spread their branches over their heads. Tlie banks were high, but as they did not wisli to laud, this made no differ­ence. There, reclining on the cushions in the cool shade, Charlie, putting away the air of light badinage he had assumed, heard his friend’s story. When it was ended, lie was silent for a moment.

“I know ;Ttowena Stapleton. She is a famous coach.” he said. “A girl sharp enough to follow her instruc­tions might do most anything. Came near catching me one summer, at New­port, with that -Miss Arlington who afterward married old Luehar and then sued for a divorce and ten thous­and alimony, and got it, too. I tell you she’s a sharp one.”

“But you. haven’t seen my Ruth,” said Ilolcomb, very impatient that she should be included in his friend’s category.

“Kutli! So that’s the name of the fair damsel. Decidedly soripturesque.I fancy 1 see her now, little, meek, blue-eyed, fair-haired—”

“With the sweetest, most innocent, face in the world, Charlie. I’d stake my life on her truthfulness and in­nocence; and yet, Charlie, there is something in that woman’s letter— some woman wrote it, X know, for it takes a false woman to assail ,the in­nocence of another—something that rests upon my heart like a nightmare. Didn’t you hear something stirring up there under the trees on the bank'?”

*‘A squirrel, perhaps. And now you wq.nt me advise you in regard to this matter, b. Isler up your failing confi­dence, exorcise the spirit of distrust that possesses you, unseat this Old Man of tlie Sea who has got astride your broad shoulders,” said Charlie. ‘‘What do you want me to do, anyway?”

“I don’t know,” returned Leigh. “Well, that’s encouraging. I tv as

half afraid you would really want me to endorse' ltowena Stapleton and her protege. But, honestly, Leigh, I liave not *a grain of faith in that woman so far as her matrimonial schemes are concerned. If it’s simply my advice you want, why here it is; run away. Ho man is a match for two women— one a beauty, and the other a schemer like ltowena Stapleton. Be careful, Leigh, be warned'while it is time. I f you don’t you may find yourself wedded to a being without a soul, a Huldre, as

. our Horse friends would say.”There was a slight sound jusktlien

from the bank above, a little gasping sound a bird might make.

“It’s that red-crested fellow upon the top o f that tree,” said Charlie, lazily tossing another cushion under his head.

“I tell you I ’d wager my soul on her innocence, Charlie,” cried poor Leigh.

“But you’re a little hit afraid you might lose,” said Charlie with provok-

-ing nonchalance.And again Leigh asserted with

feverish impatience his belief in Kuril’s truth and goodness, expressing at the same time his detestation of all tho base coquettes who for sordid consider­ations would profane the holy sacra­ment 'of marriage by giving their hands where they had no heart to be­stow. i

.The sun had sunk low before the two had recrossed the lake. They

• w ere conversing earnestly as they went up from the beach to tlieif hotel.

“I wouldn’t do it for anybody but you, Leigh,” Charlie was saying, as they parti d at tlie door of Leigh’s room. “But how do you know if your sweetheart is so wonderfully bewitch­ing that I won't full in love with her myself?”

‘T have your consent, then,” said Leigh, eagerly. “Well, I will be off on tlie morning train.”

The next afternoon Mr. Jarvis again crossed the lake. This time he sought the Harden mansion. .Tlie ladies were in the cool north parlor, where they spent the warm part of the day.

“Charlie Jarvis, did yon drop from the clouds?” exclaimed Mrs. Stapleton, as the servant ushered him in.

“Quite the contrai'y. I seem to have been transported to a much more, etheral region than I have occupied heretofore,” said he.

“All, Mr. Jarvis you are the very one most needed in this lovely place. Your presence is tho only thing neces­sary to make it quite perfect indeed,” said Estella, gayly. “There is no one that can play lawn tennis equal to you, and I have almost exhausted my patience in being tlie winner in every game.”

Just at that moment Kuril entered. She seemed strangely saddened, and her eyes were heavy as if she had lost sleep lately or had been shedding tears. »Sbe acknowledged tlie intro­duction of Mr. Jarvis with quiet cordiality, lifting her great eyes to his fitce a moment as if to read his coun­tenance, but without smiling.

“But where is Mr." Ilolcomb?” in­quired Mrs. Stapleton. “Why did lie not come oyer here with you?”

“I am the unfortunate bearer of bad news,” said Charlie, gravely. "Leigh was summoned home this morning by telegram. You have heard of the failure of Trest and Baiighum? The Holcomb funds were invested in that concern. So he left on the morning train, begging mo to make Jiis excuses to you ladies.”

Aunt ltowena lost not ono whit of her self-possession. If Leigh had lost*' his properly, was not here Charlie Jarvis, wealthy and almost as hand­some, certainly as respectable? It was providential.

Estella cast a swift and meaning glanee at Kuril, but there was no sur­prise, no now shade of sadness on her countenance. She sat there quiet and unconcerned, as if the ill news just communicated held no significance for her. Could she have heard it before? But no, she had not left the house the whole morning, and there had been no visitors. Could there be a quarrel or misunderstanding between them? It looked like it. Miss Estella could only patiently wait and see what tiie future would develop.

In the weeks that ensued, Estella found herself subjected to tlie discom­fiture of witnessing Hath again re­ceiving the devotion of a wished for gallant, while she was reduced to the dull society of her middle-aged suitor. And this time it was not through the management of Aunt Kowena, though she wa3 more scheming and demon­strative than ever. Eutb, though she treated her aunt kindly, foiled many ammeeuvre that was intended to ac­crue to her advantage. She had sud­denly become self-po3sessed and reliant. And Charlie Jarvis knew well that lightly concealed behind the gentle friendliness, of Kuril's manner was an icy barrier which admitted of no show of sentiment on Iris part. Only when he talked of Leigh could ho bring that glow of intense interest to her eyes, tli© bluest ever seen, or catch a glimpse of her son! as it shone in her radiant countenance.

At tlie end of th vee weeks he wrote: — “Come back, old fellow, I’m tired of-

playing second. It’s of no use. If there is a creature on this earth of I ho feminine persuasion who is incapable of coquetry, it is your friend, Miss Harden. She interests me, aud she is friendly enough, but I would as soon think of winning the heart of the sphinx from its allegia'nco as hers. Still, if she has no heart, it is because it is in your possession, I am convinc­ed. 81ie pines every day of your ab­sence.”

And Leigh sped as fast as the power ot steam could bring him. l ie went to his hotel, only to remove the dust of travel from iris person, and then across the lake to find Kuril. She chanced to be sitting on a rustic bench near the shore, in the shade of a gnarl­ed oak. Leigii heard her humming softly a little song, so softly and sauly that it almost brought tears to her eyes.

w ‘Your love is coming, is coming' they say, ‘Your love is coming to thee,’

Rut alas in all this wide, wide world There is love nevermore for mo.”

He watched her as she sat and hummed softly these words. She was thinner and paler than when he last saw her. But there was a certain sadness in her face, a look of chasten­ed resignation that was touching to see. She ceased singing.

Leigh broke the silence by one word. “Kuril!”She instantly sprang to her feet, joy

sparkling in her eyes, her cheeks glow- iug. But before lie could reach her and clasp the hand extended in wel­come, the glow had faded and her eyes tilled with tears.

“I have come to ask you to be my wife, Kuril,” J.eigh said hurriedly, losing liis self-control at sight of her tears, as lie clasped her hands tightly between his own. “Gould you marry a poor man, iiuth, 0118 Who has only the love of a true heart to offer you?”

“I could ask no greater happiness—' no, do not come any neaver. Sit down there, please, and let me tell you.” And Kuril pointed to ‘the end of the rustic bencli farthest away from her.

With a cold perspiration starling from every pore, Leigh sat down. Could it be that Kuril was bound in some way, after all, and that lie was about to lose her? The thought was torture.

“I was sitting on this bench three weeks ago,” Kuril began, “when a boat stopped in the cove below, and I heard a sound of voices. I did not mean to be an eavesdropper, and at first I did not hear what was said. But 1 soon recognized your voice, Mr. Holcomb, and my own name. I'eould not leave without your seeing me, and I sat still. I heard your suspicions, Mr. Ilolcomb and—they are ail true. Yes, I have been just as wicked as tliat.”

Leigh dropped his white face in his hands with a groan of anguish he could not repress.

“Oh, I do-not wonder you despise me] I despise myself!” Kuth cried.

Then pale and cold as a statue, with dry eyes and parched lips, Kuth told the whole story, nor spared herself one w hit. She had been schooling herself preparing herself for i t the past three weeks, and the bitterness of death would he over, she felt, when the con­fession had been made. She told of the friendship existing between her­self and Geoffrey, of her sorrow at loosing her friend, her anger at Miss Pennington’s raillery, and the spirit of revenge she had cherished in her heart.

“Then I met you. You were good and noble and kind, hut I did not give up my purpose. I did as Aunt Kowena wished. I wore the dresses that she thought most becoming, I smiled and looked pleasant when my heart, was aching because she told me Hooked

best so. And then I grew to love you. .1 found Hint I had never loved before. That other was it childish liking, but my love for you made me a woman; f* r I love you, Leigh! uii, how 1 love you! But my wickedness lias found me out. Ho one is to. blame but my­self—not even Aunt Kiwenti. Oh, how you must despise me for it all!”

“Ho, no!” cried Leigh. “I love you just the same. If a falso thought at one time found place in your mind, love conquered after all. i will never give yon up.”

“But I heard wluit you said, Leigh, ‘I could never call a woman wife, who would thus trifle with the holy thing called love.’ And have I not told you that I liave done so—that in tlie wick­edness of my heart I said ‘Leigh Hol­comb shall love me. If it breaks Estella Pennington’s heart I will win his love and teach her that 1 am not tho silly child she supposes?’ I have sinned. I t shall L>e my expiation to love on, as I must, anti yet receive no return. There, you may. kiss me Just once, as you would a dead friend, and then you must go away and never try to see me again.”

Then, with a hitter wail of anguish that she could not repress, Kuth fled to tlie house.

But she did not understand human nature very well, nor tlie strength of a love like Leigh's, when sbe thought with this confession of her former weakness and the assurance of her un­changing affection to send him away forever.

She had never been dearer to Leigh than now. She had surprised him by a glimpse into a heroism ar.d purity of nature lie would not have thought pos­sible. l ie felt how low and selfish his own life appeared beside hers, who would atone for one false thought by a life of self-abnegation.

Slowly he followed Kuth to the house. Humbly he searched his own Deal t, finding himself all unworthy to mate with such purity. But he made a vow that as far as lay in his power, witli God’s help*, lie would tise to her plane and win her.

That he was successful was shown by the happy, trusting love-light in Ruth’s eyes, and tiie pure spirit beaming forth from his own, when, a few months laler, tlie two were wedded.

* THE END.

-----------=5-0-3=-----------An Io w a B ail road Law.

A remarkable judicial ruling comes from Iowa! A woman brought an ac­tion for damages for injuries received while alighting from a moving train, It appeared that when the train arriv­ed at the station where she intended to get off, it did not stop long enough to enable her to step from the plat­form of the car. Her two children who were traveling with her had pre­ceded her and alighted safely before tlie train started, and it was the desire not to tlose them which impelled her to jump' after the train had commenc­ed to move. There is a statute in force in Iowa which provides as fol­lows: “If any person not employed thereon, or not an officer of the law in the discharge of his duty, without the consent of the person having the same in charge, shall get upon or off any lo­comotive engine or car of any railroad company while said engine or car is in motion. . . . lie shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and be punished by fine not exceeding $100, or be impris­oned not exceeding thirty days.”

The Supreme Court decides that be­fore the woman can recover she must Xirove one at least of the three exeept- tions in the statute, viz.: Either thatshe was a person employed on the train or that she was an officer of the law, or that she got off the train while in motion with the consent of'Jhe con­ductor or some other officer of the company in charge of the train. If she cannot show any of these tilings she cannot recover, for the reason that otherwise her act of jumping from the train while in motion was unlawful, and if unlawful it was negligent.

This is a case of strict construction —of sticking in tiie back of a statute with a vengence. Under this ruling, if a passenger on a train in Iowa should see that a drawbridge ah'ead of the train was open or that another train was approaching on the same track, and rushing to the door should jump off and save his life before tlie train went into the river or the colli­sion occurred, he would at once be guilty of a crime, and would be liable to a fine of $100 or imprisonment for the space of thirty days, because he did not, before he jumped, hunt up the conductor and ask his permission to leave the car whileiu motion. His­tory tells of a Venetian statute which, to discourage street encounters in the time when men wore side arms, made it a capatal offense to shed blood in tlie streets of Venice. It also tells of a physician who, meeting a man in a fit on the streets, lanced him and saved his life. A sensible Magistrate decid­ed that the act of the physician did not come within the intent of the statute, aud that lie was not.subjeet to the ex­treme penalty for his humane act.

The Iowa Supreme Court would no doubt have, hanged the surgeon and re­versed the decision of the magistrate. The truth is, as any one can see at a glance, that the Iowa statute was in­tended simply to punish trespasses for getting on trains while in motion, to steal a ride, and the same persons, or others intended to evade tlie payment of fare, from jumping off to escape de­tection by the conductor. To extend it to tlie case of necessity such as we have alluded to is manifestly absurd, and surely the case of a mother sepa­rated ft om her infant children by the neglect of those in charge of the train, almost crazed at the thought of losing them, is one of natural impulse and fear of danger, which may properly be deemed necessity.—Railroad Gazelle.

The Time in w hich W e Think.One of tlie most beautiful applica­

tions of electricity which has of late been made is its use in the study of psychological phenomena. And why, indeed, is not the subtile power by which time aud space are annihilated, and human labor rendered less irk­some, the-most, proper agent to as­sist man in the study of the facts of his own consciousness? In an elaborate article in the nineteenth Century, Dr. J. McK. Cattell gives an account of time measurements of thought made by means ot the line drawn by a rapidly moving surface by a pen attached to the prong of a tun­ing fork vibrating at a constant rate by means of electricity, by a delicate apparatus constructed on this princi­ple. duration of time may be measured to the one ten-thousandth of a second. The writer above named has found that the process of thought varies in degree of rapidity in different individ­uals, children and old people thinking more slowly than people of middle age, ignorant persons thinking slower than educated persons. In this way lie also found he could measure the time it takes to perceive, that is, the time which passes from the moment when the impression reaches consciousness until the moment at which we know what it is. In his own case I10 found that it took 1-20 second to see white light, 1-10 to see a picture, t-S to see a letter, and 1-7 to see a word. .. It takes

longer to see a rare word than a com­mon word, or a word in a foreign lan­guage .than in our native tongue. It even takes longer to see some letters than -others. “Will time,” or time tak­en up in chousing, can be measured. It takes 1-13 second to judge between blue and red. To recall the name of a printed picture 1-4 second. I t takes less time to remember the name of a familiar word than of a letter, though it takes less time to see the letter. The time of remembering can be meas­ured. It takes 1-4 seconds to trans­late a word fiom one language to an­other. when you are familiar with both. It takes 1-20 second longer to trans­late a word from a foreign language to •your native tongue than it does in the other direction. We can think of the name of the next month in half of the time we can think of the last month. It has been demonstrated that sensa­tion does not travel through the nerves tlie brain so fast as it has been suppos­ed. Its speed is not much greater than sixty miles an hour.—Light and Seat.

The Horse that Draws the W ater He Drinks-

The sagacity exhibited by some of the horses employed by the fire depart­ment iu this city is very remarkable, and their exploits' have been frequent­ly described in our daily newspapers. But for the first time we read in one of our evening contemporaries of a horse in the service of our ambulance corps, which is not far behind any lire engine horse we liave read of in point of intelligence. The horse pulls the ambulance in search of patients for the Hew York Hospital, and dur­ing the whole period of his philan­thropic career as an ambulance horse, he lias never once been given a drink by any of the stable hands. He believes in the maxim that God helps those who help themselves, and helps himself accordingly.

A Telegram reporter went down to see how he quenched his thirst, and was edified by the intellectual be­havior of the animal, which he de­scribes as follows:

There is an ordinary faucet with a pail under it in the stable, and to this faucet the horse made a bee line.

First he dipped his nose in the pail to sec if there was any water there, but finding there was none, he pro­ceeded to open tlie valve by turning the handle with his nose. He did not turn it on quite enough at the first attempt, so he gave it another nudge, and held his no;e under the spigot while the water poured over it to his apparent immense satisfaction. “But what a lot of water w ill be wasted when he leaves it running the moment lie has had enough!” ejaculat­ed the reporter.

“Wait and see,” answered tlie driver.And there was no water wasted,

for the moment the horse had conclud­ed his drink, he went at the faucet again with-his nose and shut off the flow completely.

“Does he always do that?” again queried the- newspaper man.

“Certainly,” answered the driver, as he patted his four footed friend on the shoulder. “As long as I ’ve known him. that horse has never had a drink that he did not draw from the tap for himself just as you have seen him do this time.”

-----------=J-<3 ►---------- -The Stars and Stripes.

It is stated that the present national ensign was adopted and first unfurled to the breeze in August, 17ST, and the suggestion lias therefore been made to , the secretary of war that he issue an order naming a day on which there shall be a general display of the stars and stripes throught the Union, on sea and on land, in due. commemoration of the hundredth anniversary of the first raising the flag. Tiie suggestion would be a first rate one if the historic fact underneath it were only reliable, i t was on the 14th day of June, 1777, that tlie Continental Congi ess adopted a vote "that the flag of the United Slates be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the Union he thir­teen stars, white on a blue field, repre­senting a new constellation.” Paul Jones claimed to have flown this flag on the Hanger on tlie day on which Congress adopted the above vote. It was first displayed at a military port at Port Schuyler on the 3d August, 1777, and the probability is that it made its first appearance in battle on the banks of tlie Brandywine, Sept. 11, 1777, so that the centennial of the flag seems to have been proposed ten years too late.—R ay State Monthly.

With a view to evading the county prohibitory law, adopted in a number of counties in this state, clubs are being formed and paying the government tax for the sale of liquor, with evident in­tention of paying no attention to the local authorities.

Below is a table showing the average weekly rate of wages paid in woolen factories in the United States (Massa­chusetts,) France (Riieims district) England (Yorkshire district), and Ger­many (Rhenish district).

Thus we see, according to official authority, wages are 100 per cent high­er in the woolen and worsted industry in the United States than in any of the European countries. No one claims that the duty on wool and woolens combined is 100 per cent. The manu- facturerswould rather pay §12 a week than 80 a week. So long as they are adequately protected they can pay §12 a week. Reduce the duty and wages must be reduced proportionately. Abolish the duty and wages must ultimately sink to the European stan­dard, or the industries migrate to European countries.

than over, the average difference be­tween the wage lisfs of the two coun­tries. It might be worth while for our Democratic free trade laboring men to paste tins table In their hats and this tact .in their memory and go and brood a while.

IMPRESSIONS OF NASSAU.A n Is la n d o f TTneiulmg: Sum m er N o t F a r

Aw ay—'The Xnzy In h a b itan ts .Nassau is ore of the smallest of the

Bahama islands, covering a length of twenty miles by an. average of five miles in width. The city is built, facing the north, upon the slope of a ridge, running west to east, and nearly 100 feet at its highest. The soil is thin, the island con­sisting of an old coral reef, elevated grad­ually from the ocean, and during that period subjected to the action of the waves, leaving it honeycombed and pocketed. This rock is compact, of sand made from disintegrated corals, yellow­ish creamy in color and soft in texture, so that it is quarried by sawing and chis­eling, becoming considerably harder by exposure. The surface of the rock is covered with loose pieces, exceedingly irregular in form. Over this is a very little soil.

The streets are graded through this natural rock, with natural gutters and walks. The streets at right angles to tho water front cross the ridge generally through deep cuts in the natural rock in order to lessen, the grades The dwellings of the better sort arc square or oblong square, seldom more than two stories high, with low ceilings and low pyra- midical roofs. These houses are always surrounded on at least two sides with broad verandas, closed in with slats to keep out the light. For this reason the houses appear larger than they are. Dormer windows abound. The house colors are stone, light yellow, cream; the blinds are brown or green. High stone walls, with broken glass bottles cemented into the ridges, inclose the houses and gardens; ornamented openwork gate­ways afford a glimpse within.

The cocoanut, the royal the palmetto and the silver leaf palms abound. Tho giant Cuba, or silk cotton tree, oleanders of large size, enormous amaryhids, with the many species of the citrus family, bang up their yellow fruit against the sun. The russet japodilla just coining into fullness adds a special charm to its back­ground of dark green waxy leaves. The vegetation seems rather sub-tropical than thoroughly tropical. This results not from want of heat, may be, but need of soil.

The city of Nassau is extremely pict­uresque with the quaint narrow streets, white, deep gutters cut from living rock, large dwellings, with the lower or street story, for warehouse or shop, the outside stairways and balconies? Every building has some special individuality about it which adds much to the sum total of the charm one finds in quietly roaming round the streets.

Here it is literally always afternoon. No one works. Ask a question and it will bo answered the day after to-mor­row. The few shops open about break­fast time, and are then shut up during that meal,-and breakfast time is not early. I went into a wholesale store at noon time. The one clerk was fast asleep in his chair, and I left him. undis­turbed. The blacks, seemingly twenty to one of the whites, sit lounging, gab­bling, chaffing, talking loud and laugh­ing, but I have not seen one at work.

The English majesty Of law is thor­oughly respected here. The principal crimes—profanity, jawing and slander— are among the colored races, and they enjoy defending themselves at law. Shops dose at 5 p. m. Saturday is a half holiday and Sunday a Puritanical one.

Back of Nassau proper, over tire ridge and down on to lower levels, swarm tho colored people. Their small garden pieces are walled in with the loose pieces of coral rock. Their cabins are small,

with oho or mayhe 'two‘rooms, of focE or 'coral, palmetto thatched. The gar­dens are bare, honeycombed coral rock, where with a crowbar the banana, the cocoanut or maize is planted. They are unkempt, unthrifty, dirty; but every­where kind mother nature covers the garden walls with lichens and tho con­volvulus, and the great lobed leaves of the bread fruit, the alumna and tho palms give to tho eye an ever varying, an ever entirely satisfying picture.

These cabins of the colored people (our inheritance from Spanish cruelty) liter­ally swarm with chilch-en. The tra­ditional stair of from five to twelve littlo pickaninnies is found in every cabin. ‘•Massa, gib me copper for bread!” They are inveterate beggars. They say they can’t get work, or if iliey do get any but little is paid—twenty-five to fifty cents a day. The truth is, there is no desiro, perhaps no incentive, to work, no ambi­tion to satisfy. Hunger is easily satisfied by fruit, sweet potato, yams and fish. Blit little fruit is exported, and that from the outlying islands, not from here. Sponge fishing is tho one industry which hero Is active.

For the climate, I would judge wc had in the United States no spot equal to this for unending summer. For people ad­vanced in life who desire to avoid our winters, for tired brain workers, for cases of low vitality, for tho beginning of throat and lung troubles, I should say Nassau is the place.—Fred Stearns in Detrob Free Press.

Self Massage. fo r D yspepsia.This treatment requires much perse­

verance and practice, otherwise it maj to some extent prove a failure; but re­newed vigor will always be in propor­tion to tho practice. Bo not discouraged First tiling in the morning and last tiling at night mb the abdomen down the left side and up the right in a round circle, also rub down the breast; now pace across the room once or twice, and then snap the lower limbs, like a whip lash, for exercise. Now twist the lower limbs, first on one side, then on the other, and rock up on the toes. Now for the lungs and abdomen; first, take in a half breath, then exhale ak the air possible, then fill the lungs to then- full capacity, walk across the room and hack, at the same time throwing the arms back. Now in a half breath send out every particle of air tili you see the abdomen working like a bellows, mid you will soon become a deep breather. For more extended practice in deep breathing the morning before rising is a good time, provided there is full ventilation and that tho air inside is as pure and fresh as that oil the outside. Before a good fire wash the hands and face, wet the hack of the neck, arms and lower limbs slightly, and mb down with a coarse towel. This is sufficient for a beginner, but entirely inadequate for the old, chronic dyspeptic.—J. N. Semple in Herald of Health.

A VICTIM OF COCAINE

Gives His E xperience w ith th e F asc in a t­in g D rug—N ursed E a c h to H e a lth .

Dr. Charles D. Bradley’s name first came into undesirable proruinenco in No­vember, 1885, when he was ’ arrested charged with being insane through exces­sive indulgence in morphine and cocaine, the latter a powerful narcotic of which up to that time little had been heard. He was taken before Judge Prendergast, was declared to be insane, and given a sen­tence of three months hi the "Washing­tonian home. After a fortnight’s stay at the home Dr. Bradley went to Canada, his old home, where lie gave himself up entirely to the demands of the drag, the fascinations of which completely en­thralled him. Practice and homo were gone, and he gave free rein to his vice. He returned to Chicago and was sent to the insane asylum, where a complete cure was effected, and he resumed hispractico, only to find himself deserted by his clients and his reputation impaired.

Consolation for tho reverses Came with cocaine, to which he again became a victim, and there were months when ho absolutely lived iu the state of mind it produced, securing it by book or crook until his last possession was gone and 3ns family beggared.

Tho physician went to the gutter, and a. year ago was begging for cocaine at drug stores or securing it by fictitious orders on druggists. Then he disap­peared. He was occasionally heard from in Canada and the east until last fall, when the papers recorded his arrest in New York city for endeavoring to obtain a supply of cocaine by representing him­self as a messenger sent from one phy­sician to another. In the police court the gaunt, emaciated, ragged man told his story of want and woe, and the causes which brought them about. At that. time he was using sixty grains of cocaine a day. He was sent to Bellevue hospital to die. There he was found by the manager of the Christian home, where lie was nursed back to mental and physical vigor.

Dr. Bradley was reluctant to dwell on the episodes thus briefly given, but con­versed freely on other circumstances of his life.

“Until 18S5 there was nothing to dim my prospects,” said Dr. Bradley. “It was in that year that cocaine was first- brought to notice through a German physician, hut it was only known as a. practical anaosthetic in operation by oculists. There was no method known for using it for other purposes. I was tho first man to discover that it could be otherwise used—in fact, to take the placo of ether or chloroform. That discovery, so important to the world, was most un­fortunate for me. "When I announced my discovery physicians laughed and de­clared I was crazy. I wrote a letter to Mayor Harrison asking him to appoint a medical commission to inquire into the value of my discovery, which was tho administration of cocaine hypodermic­ally. I first utilized my discovery by testing it on a cat. I dissected a leg of a cat, exposing tissues and muscles, and kept the animal on my desk for hours watching the circulation. There was no pain, the drug exercising a soothing effect.

“Next I began experimenting on my­self. I found that the anaesthetic influ­ence of cocaine is limited. I experi­mented on. myself again and again to see just how far this limit extended, and learned just where, when and how to givo injections. Physicians then be- heved that the effects of the drug were similar to those of morphine. To dis­prove this I tried actual cautery by ap­plying to my body red hot irons, but I felt no pain, and there was not the slightest sensation as the flesh withered under the heated irons. For three months every day for a half hour I ex­perimented with the drug, and often passed several hours of the night in its study before a mirror, watching its ef­fect on myself. But I never realized that it was obtaining a mastery over me. Its fascinating powers were unknown to the profession. I was thunderstruck when I found that the drug was absolutely necessary to my mind and body. I be­lieve I could have conquered the habit then were it not for a misunderstanding with the man from whom I rented my home. He wanted his house, and when I refused to vacate it my weakness was made a point by which I was dragged into an insane court. Persecution and publicity drove me to desperate extremes. At the "Washingtonian home no one knew how to treat my disease. Every­body knows the rest—how I went to tho gutter and lost everything.’’

“With all your experience with co­caine, how do yon now regard it?” asked the reporter.

“I think it is a grand drug, with re­markable properties, and destined to take the place of ether and chloroform. It can be used without danger of death. It produces no nausea or prostration. It is a great specific for nervous diseases, for certain diseases of the spine, for paralysis, for tetanus, hydrophobia and other con­vulsive diseases. It will unite with other anti-spasmodics and intensify their ac­tion. I think I know more about cocaine than most men, but I have no compre­hensive idea of its possibilities. Sci­entists are only in the experimental stage with it.”

“What are the effects of tho drug?”“To begin with, it is like the effects of

any stimulant at certain stages, but it is not stupefying, as is opium. The person taking it lias a feeling that everything is

lovely and serene, UE perfect "content­ment and universal satisfaction. All things seem perfect. There are none of the frightful illusions which come from liquor' or other stimulants. Excessive quantities, though, cause great irritabil­ity. Tlie duration of tho effect is about two hours, and is succeeded by a feeling of depression and exhaustion. But there is none of the disturbance of the mind or nervous system that follows drunken­ness. The victim loses all strength after each indulgence, and there lies the chief danger in using cocaine. It weakens the action of the heart, making sudden strait is or excitements dangerous, as was ex- empliSed in the sudden death of a physi­cian, who engaged in a quarrel with a barber last year and fell dead during tlic quarrel. He used cocaine. The effects of the habit are degrading. It will deaden a man’s perception of right, just the same as whisky, and pull a victim down to the lowest depths of low cunning and viciousness. ’ ’—Chicago News.

A RELIGIOUS CEREMONY.

C u rio u s C u sto m in . tl&c T u sca n H ig h la n d s .Saints* "nones—V illage lo t te r y .

In the Tuscan Highlands at the village of Cutipliano they keep high feast on tho 8th of August in memory of Saint Aure­lius and Saint Irenaous, whose hones lie in state in the town church. The sacred remains exhibited on the holiday are pre­served in richly gilt shrines, with glass front and sides. The skulls are bare in all theh grinning hideousness; the rest of the skeletons are hajDpily hid in rich costumes, the hands covered with silk gloves and the feet with elegant stock­ings.

After mass is over in the church and the people have been blessed, a priest standing at tho altar holds up a reliquary containing the bone of a saint for tho adoration of the crowd. One by one the men come up to the altar steps, devoutly kiss tho glass that covers tho precious bone, and drop a copper or two into the brass tray which is carried by an attend­ant. After each osculation the glass is carefully wiped with a napkin and-then presented to the next in order.

The women come after the men. The faith of these is apparently more lively. They seem fully satisfied that by the act of adoration they have committed them­selves to she effectual safeguard of the saint, and they turn away their faces radiant with peace and contentment. Here comes a family group, a mother leading a littlo girl by the hand with a baby on her arm. It is touching to see tho earnestness with which the mother presses the pouting lips of her infant against the sacred charm and the joy with which she broods over him when she has thus secured his salvation; behind comes an old woman, wrinkled, infirm, alone in the world, but the weight of her years and trouble seems to grow light when she has secured the good will and inter­cession of the saint.

So they come in a long succession of every ago and condition, but all believ­ing and devout. Long after the service is over tho worshippers remain absorbed m prayer, kneeling in different parts of the church, utterly lost to all that passes around.

After leaving the church the Tuscans repair to the village green, where a lot­tery is in progress, and every one, from tho gray head to the toddling infant in­vests in a ticket. They are very super­stitious about significant numbers. Ono man chooses eight because his cat at home has that number of kittens, an­other twenty-nino because bis son fell and broke Ms leg on that day of the month: still another fifteen because there are that number of letters in the saint’s name whom they celebrate.

Every one is in good humor while the drawing takes place, and even if their numbers are unsuccessful they leave with the conviction that it will surely come up on tho next feast day.—Foreign Letter.

W ate r C hanged to Blood*There is an animalcule, sometimes

called the englena sanguinea, or the blood red englena, which multiplies so rapidly in some places that the surface of the pool soon resembles a great clot of blood, to the wonder of those who see it for the first time, and do not suspect the cause. The littlo creature seems to be abundant all over the known world, and Ehrenberg, a Gorman, naturalist, who discovered and named it, suggested that the first plague of Egypt, when the water was apparently changed into blood, as narrated in the Bible, may have been caused by a prodigious and miraculous increase of this littlo blood red infuso­rian.

"Within very recent times an apparent change of water into blood has come to the writer’s notice iu the White mount­ains, in northern New York, and in sev­eral places in New Jersey. The phe­nomenon is not very rare. The creature that causes this change has itself a pecu­liar color habit according to its age. La early youth and middle life its color is a vivid green; in maturity and old age it assumes the crimson hue referred to, and often the same individual may bo both green and red as either color reaches the surface during the body’s movement, each coming and going in a wave that flows across the little creature, or a minute spot may be rosy red in the gen­eral green, or an emeral island may ap­pear in this miniature sea of crimson.— Alfred C. Stokes, M. D., in Harper’s Young People.

Cause o f D ecay In Steel.It has recently been discovered by a

board Of nayal experts at the United States navy yard, Mare’s Island, Cal., that the cause of the sudden deterioration in the steel used in building the new cruisers for the government is not due to the ravages of a worm, as was supposed, hut is caused by the fungus peronospoms infestans, so well known as the cause of potato rot.

With the delicate apparatus procured by the government for testing the quali­ties and. detecting fraud in metals in­tended for government uses, it has been ascertained that the minute spons or suds, which float in the air, are introduced into the metallic body while in the molten state during the-process of carbonization. They also find that this form of steel rot is alarmingly epidemic in much of the government material.

A large and profitable field is open to inventors and scientific men who will de­vise means to arrest the spores of this fungus as they are drawn into the car­bonizing furnaces, or who can prevent their growth and spread either in the ingot or manufactured forms of steel.— Detroit Free Press.

W ild S ilk w o r m s o f I n d ia .For a number of years the deficiency

in the production of mulberry silk has drawn the attention of sericulturists to the rearing of the wild silkworms of India, China, Japan, America and other parts, and a great many reports have been published on these wild silkworms, some of which are already bred in a state of domesticity or semi-domesticity. Many of these wild silkworms produce silk of great strength and beauty, and could all be profitably utilized if bred in their native lands on a large scale. Speci­men cocoons and carded and reeled silks of about twenty different species have been sent to"the Societe d’Acclimatation, and they will be exhibited in the Paris International exhibition of 18S9, together with the specimens of the moths and prepared larvae: of the various species.— Public Opinion., _______

It is said that 2S1 persons were in the hall and that 2S0 of these took cold, there being no fire in the hall, and some of the window glass out so that there was a current of- cold wind pouring down the backs of the audi­ence. The singers cut the entertain­ment short on account of being frozen out.

The Salvation Army w ill -have a special demonstration Friday night. Officers and soldiers from Niles tv ill be present. On the program for the evening will be the court-martial of the bass drum. A rousing time is anticipated. F ive cents admission.

A lively party of George W. Rough's friends went to his place, on Portage Prairie, Monday evening, to enjoy an evening of fun with him, ! and who ever goes there for such a purpose is never allowed to escape without getting it.

Last spring Niles City gave -IDS ma­jority against the amendment. The two Democratic papers and Star of that place lent their powerful influence against the local option act. The vote Tuesday showed a majority of 404 against prohibition, therefore the com­bined influence above mentioned is equivalent to four votes.

A t the meeting of the Common Council, Friday evening, it was voted that the members of the Council to be elected March 13 should be paid.a salary. Those members who hold over voted against this measure, and those whose term expires, for it, the President not voting. There will be those who will object to this, but it is not more right that citizens should be called upon to do the work and bear the responsibili­ty of the village than for any private concern.

— —— -----------The Sunday School Convention, held

in this place last Thursday and Friday, was the largest and most succesful ever held within the county. The at­tendance was so large that the A. 0. Church was found to be too small to accommodate the crowd, and the meet­ing of Friday evening packed Rough’s Opera House to its fullest capacity. The music was under charge of Mr. 0 . E. Excel!*, of Chicago, and among the many interesting speakers was Mr. Jacobs, who was one of the leading Sunday School workers of Chicago, who delivered the address Friday evening.

----------Since the county has decided to try

getting along without saloons, it would be a pious notion now to clean out the billiard rooms. It is notorious that there are as many drunkards made in them as in the saloons. That when the boys get liquor, or some toper who is n it allowed in thesaloon get their liquor from some ones bottle in the billiard room. Generally speaking it is in these same dens where there is a poker or three card annex, where the country boys or any other easy victim is taken in and fleeced of such cash as happens to be loose about his clothes. There are numerous stronger reasons for closing these than for closing the sa­loons. It is in these that the evasions of the law by illicit sale of liquors may be looked for. Let one great evil follow the e ther.

Lew H uffman has been heard from once more. This time for carrying off a horn, belonging to the Jonesville band. The horn was found in n ills- dale, where he had left ip, and at lait account the officers were in search of Lew. The picture is perfectly natural.

The shooting of Volkhardt, in South Bend, is a queer case. A 32 caliber bullet entered just near the right tem­ple severed the optic nerve of the right eye, destroying that entirely. The brain was not struck, and he will live in darkness for the remainder of his life. He was able to walk from the depot to Ills home when brought to Niles.

D >We find it necessary to have more

power for running our machinery, and conseqently offer a four-horse vertical Boiler and Engine for sale at a bar­gain. I t is in good order, and is fitted with. Hancock inspirator and sight feed oiler. I f you; have occasion to use such, a machine, or know of any one who does, call and see us. tf

Our. balmy spring weather took a severe cold Saturday night, and one of the worst storms of the winter blow­ing.

There may be a time when the Niles Democratic papers w ill be ashamed of the abuse; they have been heaping upon Tom. O’Hara.

The Perry, New York, Weekly News of February 22, announces the death of Mr. Abel E. Eastwood, of conges­tion o f tbe lungs, which occurred in that place February 11. Mr. East- wood was for a number of years a res­ident of Dayton, and was eighty-one years of age.

Th e concert by the Apollo Quartet, Saturday evening, attracted a hall full, and there was; general satisfaction With the entertainment. Mr. Hub baud is one of the easiest singers of bass"that has visited Buchanan. The entertainment netted $112.75, which goes entirely for the purpose of im­proving the “aquatic plants” in Oak Ridge cemetery.

Wonder if it.m ight not be a good idea for some one in authority to make a tour of inspection of the brick block between Oak and Main streets, on north side of Front street? It. is said by those who ought to be posted that a poker room is located somewhere near the center of that block. I t is about time for it to moyo again.

0 . L. S. C.—The meeting of the A l­phas, at Rev. 8 . L. Hamilton’s was well attended. The Longfellow’s-day pro­gram was a decided success. The next meeting will be held at Mrs. Frank Plimpton’s. March 12, with the follow­ing program:

Roll Call—Reponse, a law of health. Report of Critic—Miss Nellie Bald­

conducted by Mrs. John Hamilton.Questions—“Women of American

History, February Cbautaquan, by Mrs. Emery.

Closing with a social hour.

The vote on Local Option Tuesday, brought out a much larger number than was expected. The result was gratify­ing to the dries, who were pretty bad­ly frightened on the morning of elec­tion. The result vindicated Tom O’Hara’s position and leaves him glor­iously in the lead of his party for the present at -least. Whether they ever overtake him is the question for the future.

Editor Record:—I noticed last week in the columns of the Record the following article, -

A sa d case of destitution was dis­covered by tho G. A. R. of tliis place, in the family of Otto Worlds, one of their number, who lives just south of the “High Bridge”, ill Bertrand town­ship. Mr. Worlds and wife and one or more of the children were found helplessly sick, and neither food, fuel nor care to lie had in the house. The members of the. Post at once sent pro­vision and fuel to tho house, and the ladies of the Relief Corps rendered val­uable assistance in cleaning up the house, and making the family comfort­able. Supervisor Gillette was notified to look after the family, as the Post contains no millionaires. There was considerable adverse criticism against Mr. Gillette for neglecting his duty, but we can hardly believe such neg­lect on his part to be willful, as lie is not that kind of a man.

That the facts of the case may be known to the public, 1 wish to make tiie following statement: The first knowledge received of the sickness and needs of the family' was obtained through the mail. Three days from the receipt of that notice I visited the home of Mr. World, and found truly “a sad case of destitution.” Upon the morning that I made my visit, two gentlemen, thinking that the written notice had not been received, informed me again of the case that needed at­tention. I found Dr, Henderson in at­tendance upon the sick in the family, and instructed him to give all medical attention needed. Upon inquiry I was informed that tiie family needed food only, that wood and clothing were provided, I arranged for provisions at one of your groceries with an allow ance of $5.00 for tiie first week, less, than $4.00 was used, and 83.00 or83.50 for the next. Offered to purchase pro­visions and return the same day with them, but was told it was not necessary. Arranged with a neighbor to secure provisions and carry them to the afflict­ed family. I was informed later in the day, that Air. World and family had been subjects of care and aid to friends for nearly three weeks, I had known it but three days. Be it far from me, Mr. Editor, to violate my obligation as an officer, anil negletc my duty to the suffering and needy, who­soever th e y ;may be, and withal, to­wards one who was a brave defender of our starry flag and sacred liberty. I can not refrain from an expression Of my admiration of the object and purposes of the G. A. R., nor can I speak in to high terms of the associa­tions tand frendship that link them to­gether in an indissoluble brotherhood. The members of the post Laye provided watchers for the bedside of their comrade and family, have provided wood, food and clothing, and evinced a truly fraternal spirit. Nor can I forget that noble band of ladies, the Relie’f Corps, who, upon the day of my visit to the afflicted, were plying the needle to make comfortable the same family, exhibiting a spirit of love and sympathy creditable to the sisterhood.

Respectfully,J oel II. Gillette.

County Surveyor Graves has been amusing himself during some of the cold and snowy weather in prepar­ing a map of the village of St. Joseph and Benton Harbor and their environs. The map is nearly complete, and is the most elaborate of anything ever cre­ated in this county. I t may come handy in future surveys, but it is hard­ly probable tliat he w ill publish it as people are not apt to buy enough of such goods to afford much encourage­ment.—Berrien Syringe Era.

It is related that Aid. Brown, of Saginaw, while walking across Fine river a day or two ago, broke through into seven feet of water; the swift current swept him away under the ice", and lie was fished out of a hole some yards down by a log roller who saw the accident. During the whole performance the alderman was per­fectly cool, .and the first words he, said on getting back to land were to inquire for a match to relight Ills cigar.—Detroit Hews.

James McDonough, of West Bay City, received the following pathetic letter from liis niece, Miss Loie Ryoce, brave school teacher who was so se­verely frozen during the recent Ne­braska blizzard while caring for her pupils:

to see you To-morrow my ordeal will be gone through—the amputation of one foot and toes of the other. But I am resigned if anything should hap­pen. I hope not, for mamma’s sake. She and papa are my constant muses. Papa lias been with me day and night -has not taken off his clothes once. Our minister is so kind. He talks to me so good, you will never know how much I love you all, and how good you have been to me. Cousin Jennie, I just re­ceived your loving letter. Although I have been suffering such intense pain. I am better now. I had a severe ex­perience in the storm on that cruel night. One little child, Hattie, died in my arms, one boy at my head and one boy at my feet with his head in my lap. Only God knows of my sad ex­perience thau night. I am getting tired, so I will close. Remember, I al­ways loved you all and think of you all the time. Good night. Very lov­ingly, your niece. Loie Royce.

--------- - --The March Wide Awake gives a de­

lightful chapter of Sidney Luska’s serial story “Aly Uncle Floruuoncl”— the good humor and good heart of the two noble Jews, Mr. Finkelsteiu and Air. Marks, have seldom been surpass­ed: this story shows Luska’s real strength. There are many fine stories: •‘A Stray Shot” is a most touching war- story by Hartwell Moore, a Confeder­ate soldier; “Bob’s Breakfast” is as amusing as the other is pathetic; “Aly First Snow-Storm” by Frederic Winth- rop Patten is humorous, but teaches a good lesson. There are many other articles, pictures, and poems—with the rest an entertaining department called “The Contributors and the Children.”

Wide Awake is but $2.40 a year; 20 cents a number at your news-stand. In this number is announced a series of ninety-four prizes for contributions suitable for publication in Wide Awake.

1. T h a t th e tornado is indigenous to the U n ited S ta tes, because there aro no tran s­verse m ountain ranges div id ing th e g rea t c en tra l p lain ; th ey alw ays have been fre ­quent, and th ey alw ays w ill be, and they Only seem m ore frequen t now because thero a re m ore people in th e w ay of them to get h u rt,

2. A tornado can be foreseen from a few m inutes to a few hours in advance; and m easures can easily be tak en to reduce th e danger to a minim um.

3. The tornado, hurricane and cyclono a re rad ically different, though confused in th e popular m ind.

The only cyclones know n to th e U nited S tates originate in the ocean southeast; they trav e l first northwest, th en change g radually to n o rth and uortheast, whuffing as th ey go. The tornado, on th e o ther hand, in v ariab ly trav e ls to th e east and north . How, th e ono astonishing faofi to th e read er who has n o t exam ined th e subject, is th a t tho signal service officer has a to le rab ly fu ll account of every destructive tornado fo r 123 years; and th a t a m ap of th e ir course an d frequency is made, w hich is as easy o f comprehension a s a m ap of our rivers. Indeed, th e read er m ay m ake a curiously interesting m ap fo r him ­self i f he has tho newspaper files for, say, ten years past. L e t h im note each tornado re ­ported in th a t tim e—and he w ill bo amazed a t the num ber, often as h igh as tw en ty in a y ear—an d p u t a b lack m ark on its location on th e m ap .

M r. Corliss was born a tE as to n , Hew Y ork, on Ju n e 3,1817. In 1S25 he moved to Green­wich, A I ., where lie a ttended school aud a f t e r w a r d opened a country s t o r e .

F rom ISM bo w as engaged in develop­in g im provem ents in steam engines a t P rovi­dence, R. I ., by w hich u n ifo rm ity of m otion was a ttained. In 1838 tho Corliss Steam E n­gine company was organized.

I t was predicted th a t h is engine would bo noisy and troublesome, b u t Mr: Corliss gave i t bis personal attention, spent $10,000 upon i t be­yond the appropria tion of congress, and m ade i t a success In every particular.

Mr. Corliss received num erous testim onials of th e appreciation of different governments and associations fo r tho benefits conferred by his inventions.

ROYALTY SCORNED FOR A WOMAN

P rin ce Oscar, o f Sweden, and H is A p­p ro ach in g M arriage.

The m arriage o f P ric e s Oscar, second son of K in g Oscar and Queen Sophie, has stirred the rom antic feelings o f-th e E uropean ed it, to rs; and so they give ns a n extrem ely touch-’ ing narra tion , along w ith some h in ts no t so flatteriug to th e parties.

H er account of th e young couple's b e tro thal is as follows;

Mile. Munck, th e prince’s intended, is of a v ery ancient and noble Swedish fam ily, h u t entirely w ithout fortune. F o r he r beauty and grace she was m ade a lady o f honor in th e suite of th e Princess R oyal of Sweden, an d while in th a t position w as betro thed to a young officer of artillery , tho possessor of a large fortune. L earning, however, th a t her betrothed rea lly loved another, she w ith ­drew from the engagement, giving offense to he r titled friends b y tho act, and w ent into retirem ent. She w as soon forgiven, how­ever, and recalled to the court; and abou t th is tim e Prince Oscar, who is in the m arine service, re tn m ed from a voyage around the w orld and a t once fe ll deeply in love w ith M is Munck. K now ing th a t he could no t m arry he r w ithout renouncing his rank , sho w ent in to re tirem en t once m ore, th is tim e concealing her id en tity under th e garb of a nurse in a Stockholm hospital.

A fte r a period of g rie f and an x ie ty tho prince found h e r there, and a t leng th p re­vailed upon her to accept h is hand if liis parents w ould consent. Queen Sophio was easily prevailed upon to assist the happiness o f h e r son, b u t th e k ing long rem ained inex­orable. He yielded only to th e tea rs and en­treaties of tb e queen, and slie a t once devoted h e r thoughts to p reparing fo r the m arriage.

OSCAR AND HIS FIANCEE.H I n a tu red gossips insist th a t spite b ad

som ething to do w ith Queen Sophie’s action ; th a t i t h ad been th e in ten tion to m arry Prince Oscar to a n e a r re la tive o f Queen V ictoria, and th a t tb e legislative assem bly of Sweden refused to appropria te th e m oney needed fo r settlem ent a n d fo r tho celebration of the m arriage, upo n w hich his m other determ ined th a t he should, renounce h is ra n k and m arry a commoner. B e th a t as i t m ay, tliA, queen has charm ed a ll h earts in P a ris b y her sweet a n d gracious dem eanor. The m arriag e has som e grave consequences fo r’ P rince Oscar. B y th e term s o f th e S wedish constitu tion he m ust renounce fo r him self an d his heirs a ll righ ts to th e crow n of Sweden an d Horwaly. In N orw ay he loses th e title o f ro y a l highness and Duke of Gothland, an d h e reafte r ho is only p lain Lieut; B em adotte.

To Am ericans who aro used to tbe diminu­tiv e figures of tb e U n ited S tates arm y—some 30,000 officers an d men—these arm ies would seem quite sufficient to tak e cai’e o f any power w hose citizens a re n o t b o m a t ‘pre­sent arm s.’ B u t A ustria , tb e rem aining pow er in th e alliance, no t only b ristles w ith bayonets, b u t is adding" to he r force.

EXAMINING THE TARGET.A new weapon is now used am ong tbo A us­

trians—tbo M anulicher repeating riilo. I t has a magazine or reservoir under tho lock, containing live cartridges, w hich can be fired in quick succession. I t lias a range of nearly 2,000 y ards; th e bayonet is shorter th an tbe old bayonet, and it really a b ig knifo. Two arm y corps, consisting of 90,000 men, a re armed w ith th is weapon, while the whole

• A ustrian a rm y is being drilled in its use. The vbjes, a fte r being properly tested, are delivered to tho men, who represent the en­emy they a re to slaughter by figures draw n on targets. These are placed in the advance, and as th e men move fo rw ard they fire into these figures, adm irably adapted to practice, since th ey can’t fire back. Then a suppositi­tious cavalry force suddenly sweeps down on tb e left flank. This force is p ictu red on a long w hite screen, which is m ade to rise in ­stantaneously from the ground. The officer calls out, “ C avalry from the left—magazine!”

L and these “fierce lrazzars” a re riddled b y the A ustrians. T lieir tho m en aro allowed to b reak ranks and ru n u p to tbe screen to see how m any have been killed.- P I t is a p ity th a t in ternational questions couldn’t be stalled in th is w ay:

The two opposing arm ies m ight be d raw n up on neighboring fields and pepper these painted figures, a fte r w hich the officers could count the killed and wounded, an d tb e gen­eral Whose a rm y has received the m ost casu­alties could m arch up to th e general of tho victors, take off his h a t and surrender his sword. Then the “powers” could sign a tre a ty of peace in accordance w ith the mag­nitude of the victory, and the armies could go home. Such an arrangem ent would bo fa r m ore in accordance w ith Christian p rin ­ciples and the sp irit of the age. A t any rate,

“ when the real figures come up to do the other p a r t of tho firing, m any a poor fellow w ill w ish th a t th ey were th e old fam iliar targ e t figures who received the balls so meekly, and who died fo r th e ir country w ithout a m ur­m ur.

STORIES OF CORCORAN,

T he Peerless lT iilan tliro p is t, W lio XElis J u s t Passed Away.

M any years ago W . TV. Corcoran,, the W ashington philanthropist, whose death was recen tly announced, said to a friend :

“I m ean to be selfish about m y money. I t shall be a ll fo r m y own enjoym ent during m y lifetim e. I shall give a n d en joy the hap­piness of those to whom I give. 1 shall no t leave m uch behind m e.”

H ow well lie carried ou t th e benevolent ideas outlined in these few words m any g ra te ­fu l beneficiaries could tell, an d tb e Louise home an d the Corcoran A r t ga lle ry are mon­um ents of his broad liberality fo r a ll th e world to see.

B u t th a t th is k indly old. m an never quite satisfied liis desire to givo is shown b y a r e - ' m ark he m ade some years la te r:

“ People te ll mo,” he said, “ I am generous.I have tr ie d to be, y e t I never w ake u p in tbo n ig h t th a t some case w hich I m ig h t have relieved does n o t come to me. A fter all, th e p a r t of m y fortune w hich I have m ost en­joyed is w ha t I have given aw ay.”

The following_incident was recently re-

calleS b y a New Y ork T ribune correspond­en t: “A t tho beginning of tbo w ar Mr, Cor- loran’s southern sentim ents were well known,

and the governm ent seized upon the a r t gallery building and used i t fo r the .quar­term aster general’s office. S e c r e t a r y S tanton also gave orders for the occu­pation of M r, Cor-

\

MR. CORCORAN AND UIS LIBRARY, cornu’s p rivate residence fo r hospital pu r­poses, b u t tho old gentlem an succeeded in thw arting the g reat w ar secretary by a neat artifice. Through a friend ho heard of the order, and a t once drove to the residence of Count MontUoloii, tho French m inister, to whom bo to ld tho sto ry and proffered tbe use of his residence, free of a ll expense, as long as tbo w ar should last. Tho count called one of h is secretaries, and w ith his legation flag entered Mr. Corcoran's Carriage and di-ovo im m ediately to th e house. Ju s t as th ey entered tho building an d unfurled tb e flag in th e hall, two officers fro m th e w ar de­partm ent came up tlio steps w ith an order to take possession. Tbo count calm ly inform ed them th a t i t was now tho residence of the French m inister and th a t M r. Corcoran was his guest. There wero some p re tty sharp words, b u t tbo flag of F rance floated there and bad to be respected. A lthough S tanton was a deeply religious m an, i t is said th a t he fell from grace w hen tho officers re tu rn ed to th e departm ent and marie th e ir re p o r t B u t here tho m atte r ended.

Seawall Sydney, in a le tte r to The Hew Y o rk M ail an d Express, to ld th is sto ry of th e m anner in w hich Mr. Corcoran discouraged tho attentions of a foreigner to Louise Cor­coran, a fterw ard Mrs. Eustis:

Louise Corcoran was regarded as legiti­m ate prey b y all the designing members o f the diplom atic corps in W ashington. Mr. Corcoran b itte rly opposed he r m arriage to a foreigner, although professing perfect will­ingness fo r her to m arry any deserving young m an sho fancied, no m atte r bow small liis fortune, only he m ust bo a n Am eri­can. B u t th e young lady was fa ll of life and liked, adm iration, as young things of he r sex do. Ono day, when she was en terta in ing a forbidden adm irer, who w as a m em ber of the Span­ish legation, she h eard he r fa ther’s step in tb e hall. The young grandee tu rned pale, as d id th e heedless girL Tho step approached nearer—a band was on tho knob of th e door —when Mi’. Grandee, fo rgetting a ll about b is d ignity , scampered u n d e r th e g rand piano in tbo corner. M r. Corcoran’s eyes wero too qu id :, though. Going back in to tb e ball, be reappeared w ith a b u g g y w hip, which he used •vigorously on the shins of th e grandee, who go t o u t of the house as fa s t as his legs could c a rry him . T hat cured Miss Louise of foreigners, and shortly a fte r she m arried M r. • Eustis, of South Carolina, then a young m em ber of tho house. H er m arried life was v e ry happy, b u t she did n o t live m any years. I n 1S70 she died of consump­tion, leaving tw o sons and a daugh ter behind her. H er husband did no t long survive her. The loss of th is beloved child w as a n over­w helm ing blow to M r. Corcoran. Y ears a fte r he could n o t speak of her w ithout tears. Only a little w hile ago, in speaking of Gen. Lee, w ith w hom he w as on term s of g re a t in ­tim acy, ho said: “ I have tb e la s t le tte r beever wrote. I t w as upon th e occasion of m y child’s death.” H e stopped a n d said no more, overcome w ith emotion.

M r. Corcoran was a n a rd en t Dem ocrat, and fo r m any years has announced his in­tention of liv in g u n til a Dem ocratic president was elected. His deligh t a t Mr. Cleveland’s election w as boundless. H e and Mrs. Cleve­land wero g re a t friends, and on bis last b irth ­day he showed w ith p ride a splendid bouquet o f L a F rance roses, sent h im by tbe lad y of th e W hite House.
