l-jsw-? psy. m M rx 4r 3fee HicMta gaily gargle: Jfittsitag PLcrattiug, guuc 6, 1893. raRws" JIL'KDOCK Kdltor- The latest, and withal the fittest des ignation given Cleveland is that of "High Priest of Bogus Reform," given him by the St. Joe Herald. Topeka Capital: The Kansas City Journal can say the most brutal things when its liver happens 'to he out of sorts. It says of Governor Lewelling, for in stance, that he is a better poet than a statesman. Every day makes it plainer that the Populists are getting reidy to go it alone shake the Democrats. This calls to mind the couplet How sharper than a serpents tooth it is To have a thankless child. If Jlr. Burton was setting a little fresh when ho delivered his Decoration Day ad dress at Wichita, he certainly ib well enough roasted now to keep thtough the summer. Lawrence World. True enough; but the chances are that it will not throw him into a brown study. And further, if occasion offers you will find that he is not done. J. R delights in a stew. State wild cat "cuireucy is one of the inevitable ante-bellum things that the Democratic party is bound to saddle this country with. But for the constitution they would disenfranchise the negro if thoy did not put him back in slavery: Let those who think this mere partisan talk wait until Desember next. The Topeka papers announce that Kenneth jlacLennan, lather of Frank 3IacLennan, editor of the State Journal, died at his home in that city Saturday afternoon at 4:10 o'clock, after an illness of five days. The members of the news paper fraternity of the state join in ex tending to their bereaved brother soul ful sympathy in hi1? great sorrow. lion. Peicy Daniels, lieutenant gov ernor and major general of tho state militia, is in favor of boycotting the i ail roads if they do not come down in their world's fair rates. Ho wants to be one of the I0,000 who will not go to the fair unless tbe rates aie leduced. The disinterestedness of General Daniels will bo the more conspicuous when it is re membered that he has freo passes on the railroads. The Kans:is papers that aro passing around the item about the entry made by a person fiom this state in the legist er in the Kansas building ac the woild's fair, don't seem to lealize that thoy are doing for the said peison the very thing he bid for, that is, giving him a bit of cheap notoriety. It isn't alwaj'S best to publicly contradict a lie. In tho estima tion of some people a denial is equal to a half confession. I vfas born ;i Democrat, raised a Demo crat. I studied the party's piiuciples fuily. I worked for i(. L. have sperrt money for it. I have drank whisky for it. J hnve lied for it, I have stuffed ballot "boxes 'for it. I fliu all it told me; and it took raa within a half a mile ot hell. Sum Small. Tho inference to be drawn from tho foregoing is that Sam got mad at the old ,part for stopping short of tho point he was aiming to reach. This is borne out by the circumstances that ho hastily joined paity of Mrs. Lease aud General Weaver. Kate Field says: "As a matter of fact 4here aro few women in this country who cannot marry early, and often, if they wish." That is a pretty bold asser tion for a woman who has never mar ried once to make. There is a suspicion that tho same notion obtains with a good many otheis of her sex. And every now and thon there is mention made of a sensational aud often scan dalous criminal prosecution in the co'irts along this line. Tho trouble with fi good many people is that they con found tho terms "personal privilege'' and "individual right." The fiat money champions aro hopping nto President Cleveland in advance, taking tho circumstance of the presi dent's request of tha attorney general for his interpretation of tho law as to tho government's power and authority .to issue bouds in certain contingencies to mean his intention to do so. To issue bonds would be to increase tho public debt to tho extent of such issuo, and this is what gives tho fiatists the night mare. Instead of issuing bonds they would have the government issue its promises to pay on paper until every body had a pocket full. It is not proba ble that either will bo done; though what to expect of a Democratic admin istiation is of a peace Avith the verdict of pettit jury. It is helpful and healthful that young women about to graduate from collego should sometimes receive such Ito gether good advice as Rev. R. Lin Cave gave- to the graduating class ot an East Nashville, Tenn., school last Tuesday night. That advice was to eschew the prevalent passion for belonging to tho in numerable societies that aro springing up everywhere, and upon tho slightest provocation, and which are taking up the time that God-Almighty aud man kind havo the light to expect shall be piven to home, husband and children. Tho declaration will not make the good doctor popular with a ceitam element extant in this country who s-eem to think the very icverse of tho advice given to he tho proper thing, but this circum stance only emphasizes the truthfulness of what he says. A feature of more than ordinary in iutersct touching the gold reserve is told hy the Financial News of Loudon. This ehows that gold after all has little to do in fact with banking or finance. The coin is packed in boxes in the most care ful way by the Bauk of England's skill ed men, is sent north by a train in charge of a couple of clerks the job is much coveted in the Edinburg banks, for it means a day-r two of free holi day in London is stowed in the bank cellars on arrival, and, when the note circulation shrinks again, is sent back in the same way without ever being open ed or looked at, the com is found to have lost weight a fact that U well vouched for, though nobody cau explain why the change of air should havj so much influence. The loss is. of course debited to tile bauk which got the gold, i M. 31- KANSAS CROPS ALL RIGHT. Eastern Kansas has had too much rain this spring mixed with cold weather; western Kansas too little rain and too much sunshine. Central Kansas, located between the two and constituting the belt which has given Kansas her grain fame, has been reported as not likely to show up with more than a half crop of wheat and oats, with corn uncertain. It is probable that eastern Kansas has had too many cold spring rains, and that western Kansas too much dry, open weather; but warm sunshine will do much for eastern Kansas, and the June and July rains wonders for western Kansas. As for the central belt it promises to do what it about always does, surprise the state in the amount of its wheat, oat and corn yields. There is no question that the crops at the present time are discouraging in this section. The straw of the wheat and oats will be short but theie will be no half crop business in central Kansas. A good per cent, of the wheat area of the lower Arkansas and Little Arkansas, Xinnescah and Walnut valleys will yield splendidly both as to number of bushels and as to grade of grain. As for the corn crop the area planted of which is very large, it never looked more promis ing. When harvest time comes Kansas, as usual, will bo found in the lead. THAT SLEDGE HAMMER. That sledge hammer with which Doug lass smashed tiio doors of the State house, is up for discussion again by the Pop papeis who declare it belonged to the A., T. S. F. lailroad. Supposing it had belonged to that road. It would have been n patriotic duty to have fur nished a sledge for such-a work. But the Capital comes out with affidavits from the man who got the money from Douglass to buy it and from the party who sold it. E. F. A. Clark bought the sledge fiom E. G. Overton Co. It is branded "Atha Tool Co.,"' which brand came as near A., T. S. F. aa the aver age Pop proposition come3 of the truth POP IDIOCY. The Populists have been fearing that Secretary of State Osborne was likely to become insane. An examination of tho volume of statutes just issued fully jus tifies their fears. He has attempted to turn it into a political document .by a, series of "notes." In the list of mem beis of the house ho notes several as be ing "Republican postmasters; but not unseated," and he notes two as having "their seats declared vacant because they were postmasters and Populists." This is worse than idiocy; it is rank false hood. Everyone of the alleged "Republican postmasters nau resigneu ana was en tirely out of office before his legislative term began, while the two Populist postmasters weio still federal officials during tho session of the legislatuie and henco expressly disqualified by the state constitution. In tho index wo find such things as this: "Doors repaired, representative hall broken by Douglass." There is not a word in the statute itself about Douglass breaking the doors, and this is simply an attempt thrust politics into tho iudex, JUDICIAL ACUMEN. The Texas judge is a phenomenal jut ist whoso counteipart might be found in some of JJhe judges in southwest Kan sas not very long ago. John Gilmer Speed in Harper s Monthly sys that down in southwestern Texas, just about midway between Houston in the east, and EI Paso in the west, and very near to tho Rio Grande, the Southern Pacific railway has buile over the Pecos river the highest bridge m the United States. Indeed its height of 320 feet is only ex ceeded by two bridges in the world one in the Andes of Peru, and the other in tho Himalaya mountains. Just be foro tho bridge was finished one of the workmen fell from it. aud was of courso killed. Tho county judge was summon ed from Langtry, the town nearest to the bridge, to hold a "coroner's quest." The judge arrived with a gi eat concourse of people, all anxious to serve on tho jury. Proceedings weio beguu by ex amining the body of the dead man. Upon this ucio found a loaded levolver aud $-10 in cash. Perceiving these, the judge said: "There ain't nothing to do about this case, gentlemen of the jury. The man's dead, and it's perfectly plain how he met his death. But what I want to know is, what was he doing with that gun? That's agin the laws of Texas. He ain't here to explain, but because a man takes it into his head to put on wings and mount to the skies is uo reason why tho great state of Texas should be defraud ed. Law is law, and justice is justice. I fine him $40 for carrying a deadly weapon." It is needless to say that the fine was paid. Mr. Hicks' forecasts for June are as follows: Disturbances will appeareast ward by the 3d, leaving pleaasut weath er behind. The 7th aud 3th will bring higher temperature with storms. About the 10th it will begin to grow excessively warm, which will increase during the 11th and 12th, or until general storms of rain, thuudor aud wind result. A series of storms each afternoon and evening for several days will likely occur at this time, ruuning into the secondary dis turbances about the 17th and 13th. The 20th to 2oth is a regular storm period right at the crisis of the June solstice. Heavy rains and violent elecrical and atmospheric poturbations will be natuaal. Bright pleasant davs and nights will follow up to the 2Sth. The mouth ends warm and stormy. It is hinted that the pope is about to publish a message on the American pub lic school system. It is known that Leo, with the liberality that distinguishes him as a statesman not less than church man, thoroughly sympathises with the opinion aud objects of Archbishop Ire land on this mutter 3d disap proves of tho hostility of some of the Catholic prelates u the com mon schools. A public expression from the pope would close all controversy on the subjec The spectacle of 20,000 people in the Democratic city o New York going wild with demonstration overEulalie,the representative of European royalty, is a great big argument and one next to ungetoverable in tl o mouths of those who are ever ready to predict the ulti mate failure of republican form of gov ernment set rp br the patriotic fathers a little more than a century ago. We do not so take it; but it cannot be denied that the incident mentioned was exceedingly disgusting and seriously compromising to American dignity and decency. In the estimation of most people this snob bery and fawning before the representa tive of a monaichy has gone farther than good form and civility justifies; but the crowd has the encouragement of official example and are therefore somewhat excusable. INGALLS AND TEK NEGRO. Those w ho are curious to know the full redundency of rhetoric which John J. Iugalls employed in disposing 'of tho negro question, will find it below: If reconciliation upon the basis of justice and equal rijrhts is impossible, then migration to Africa should be the policy of the future. To that fertile continent from whence they came they would return, not as aliens and strang ers, but to tho manor horn. To their savage kindred who still warm in its solitudes they would bring the alphabet, the Declaration of Independence and the Bible. Emancipated from tho tradi tions of bondage, from the habit of obedience and imitation, from the knowledge of its vices, which is the only instruction of a strong race to a weaker, the African might develop along its axis of growth and Ethopia stretch out her hand to God. The Xegro might not want to go. He is a native. Ho is a citizen. He has a right to stay. So he has a right to vole. He has the right to life, liberty and tho pursuit of happiness. He has been deprived of them all. Only the i iglit of domicile remains. He could perhaps submit to the loss of this with the same resignation which has accom panied his surrender to the rest. THE DEMOCRATIC IDEA, From tho Kansas City Gazette. The McKinlev- law lepealed the duties on raw sugar and saved 00,000,000 an nually to American consumers, at tho same time granting a bounty to the Louisiana sugar growers, which was equivalent to the old tariff duties, aud which alono has stood between them and the destruction of their iudustry b competition with the semi-slave labor of the West Indies. As an example of fail dealing with political opponents, the conduct of the Republican congress to waul the Louisiana sugar groweis was extordinary. if not unique. Now, how ever, if the Democratic congress desires to wipe out the Louisiana industry, it is at liberty to proceed to do so. It is like wise at liberty to close the beet growing experimental stations in Nebraska and Kansas. That Germany and France, by govermental subsidies encouraged tho establishment of beet farms and beet sugar factories, until thoy have develop ed great sugar industries and rendered themsolves quite independent of the West Indies, should not deter the Demo cratic statesmen at Washington. STICK TO THE TRUTH, COLONEL DAN. The Leavenworth Times in replying to the Lawrence World's kindly defence makes charges that tho editor of the Eagle wa never guilty of in word or thought and cites inferences that would make a candidate tired, as follows: But so far as Colonel Murdock is con cerned, his fight has not been an ordi nary one. The friends of woman suf frage might overlook tho opposition of one who has opposed them in a manly way. The cause of woman suffrage is entitled to a respectful hearing. It is a demand that one-half the human race be grauted the right of self-government. The ablest women of the age have de voted themselves to this cause. Many of the ablest men of the ago have advo vocated it. And yet Colonel Murdock has treated it flippantly always aud when its advocates held a convention in his city, when they weie tho guests 9 of the city, be filled his paper with ribald" jests concerning the convention and applied insulting epithets to women whose only offense had been that they had devoted their lives to the elevation of their sex. Does the World believe that next year, when the whole state will be stirred up over tho question of woman suffrage, when the People's party will probably openly advocate it, does the World be lieve that that will be a good time for the Republican party to nominate such an opponent of woman suffrage as Colo nel Murdock? It would be equivalent to saying to every friend of woman suf rage in the Republican party: We don't want your votes. Is the Republican party in Kansas in position to throw awav thousands of votes? ABOUT KANSAS. An Atchison woman says she does not understand the Chinese question, but her China wedding will come off in spite of any law. The Topeka Democrat is responsible for the statement, that Governor Leweldn is goius to open up soma butter and egg houses iu northern Kansas. The Emporia Gazette is responsible for the statement that a Lyoa county school teacher has just maae the discovery that Jeff D.ivis is dead. Such is fame. Attorney General Little has g.ven it as his opinien that outstanding tax certifi cates will hereafter draw only 3 per cent instead of 24 per cent a.s heretofore. The Hutchinson News will b$ '1 years old on July 4. nnd it is prepaiiuc to cele brate its majority by issuing a double number n regular boomer. Let 'er boom. The Champion says more emigrant wag ons have passed through Atchison in the last ftw d.tys than at auy other time siucfe the new year commenced. Most of them are destined for Oklahoma. Tha board of education of Topeka brought proceedinss in the supreme court to tet the legality of the $52,000 of bonds recently issued by the boird of education to build the Tcpeka high school. "While only 17 per cent of the coal pro duced iu the state is mined iu Osage coun ty, that connty employs more miners than .iuy other county iu tba stte, over 3.0iX men being employed in the mines m that county.

Mr. Fry vras at one time one of the wealthy farm ers of Barton county. This is another terrible warning to citizens of Kansas not to leave its sacred precincts. All of the wheat in this part of tbe couutry is looking fine; it is heading out and promises a good yield. Oats are- also outdoing themselves in the way of growth. No appearance of the chinch bug anywhere. All these are very satis factory to the farmer here and they can well afford to whistle while they work. Richland Argosy. OKLAHOMA OUTLINES. The Edmond implement dealers sold 125 self binders this season. C. A. Gnlbraith will be attorney general of Oklahoma after June 30. "Sileuca is golden," aud Governor Ren- hfrow has lots of it; says Frank Greer. Mr. Harvey comes back at Mr. Delaney and the unlauudered linen is swinging in the breeze. The Beaver Advocate calls upon the city marshal to stop horse racing in tbe princi pal streets. The governor denies that he ever ap pointed L. P. Ross chairman of the world's fair commission. Plots and counter plots unnumbered in regard to townsite schemes on the strip are being brought to light. The editor of the Edmond Sun seems to be devoid of editoiial courtesy as per refer ence to1 the editor of the EI Rsuo Eagle. Leader: When a newspaper is kicked out of one party it should at least be decent enough to change name and man agement before attempting to squeeze in to auother. Neither Governor Renfrow. Judge Dale nor Marshal Nix touch a drop of intox icants. That it a great deal more thun was expected of aDemocratic administra tion. The regents of tbe Oklahoma university of Normau, Normal college at Edmond and Agricultural college at Stillwater, will meet in a joint session in Guthrie ou tomorrow to talk over some matters of mutual interest. Governor Renfrow sent a polite request to Attorney General Brown, Treasurer Murphy aud Auditor Parker stating that their resignation would be accepted, and the boys all sent to his excellency the necessary documents. Ex-United States Marshal Grimes says that he is in a hurry for United States Marshal Nix to get down to work, as ho wuuts to leave, which moves the News to say that it is a pit the other hold-overs are not in such a devil of a sweat to quit. Frank McMasters has broke ground on his lot on Grand avenue between Broad way and Santa Fe street in Oklahoma City for a 2-ntory brick 25x100 Ho purposes putting in a first-claas job printing office and bindery equal to anything in the west. During our six years stay in Beaver, says the junior editor of the Advocate, wo never knew tho time wLen so many beau tiful, intelligent, ladies were to be seen at our public gatherings, or the time when the young men seemed to appreciate the value of their good society as much as they do of late. Norman Transcript: On Tuesday of this week a contract was let by the property owners in the eastern end of the city for the eroction of a building upon tho court house square, which they now intend to donate to the. county when completed The contract was let to Jack Kahoe for the sum of $1,705.00.

Talmage, chairman of the board of county commissioners of Washita, was over from Cloud Chief to day. "People are coming into our county fast," said he, "and they are weli fixed in stock and improvements. Our crops, con sidering our youth, are immense. Rains have been abundaut. A surveying corps is surveying a line of railroad from Chick ashi. to Cloud Chief, a branch of the Rock Island. There arc some men hack of this who have the Rock Island's financial backing, and there is no doubt this forty mile branch will come up the Washita this summer." Beaver Advocate: The senior editor of this paper, took a drive out to his home stead Sunday afternoon, aud found his wheat, grass aud orchard, consisting of one apple tree, doing well. His mansion, built of the "cold, cold- earth," leans to ward the north star, and rabbits, becom- ung despondent, aud tired of the trials and troubles of this life, have with premedis tation and aforethought, committed sui cide, by jumping iu the well. As the cook was not at home, he did not remain for supper, but returned to town to meditate upon tne possibilities of a bright future. DESTROYED BY FIRE AND AGAIN AT WORK. The Price Baking powder company of Chicago, which is known throughout the country for the superior excolence of its hakinrr rsnvrrinr mut wif.li n spriniie lncs o ,.--.w., n?1 flio mnrn5n(y nf "MVitt IS in tlio rtrvnrlt I v,,. ...w ..w.v total destruction by fire of its factory and offices.

It is now forty years since the goods manufactured by this company was first put upon the market, to Dr. Price being due the distinction of having prepared the first can of Cream of Tartar Baking Powder ever manufactured in any coun try. It was a great discouerv, supersed ing as it did the old metho.2 of tis'ng cream of tartar aud oda separately, to say nothing of saleratus, with which the buscuit of early days was embittered. The Price Company has no connection whatever with auy other baking powder company or manufacturer, notwithstand ing representation to tbe contrary made by other manufacturer whose sole aim is to deceive the public and borrow the trood name and fame acquired bv the Price Cream Baking Powder which is Known ait over tne worm as ine purest, and "most perfect made."1 ESCHiSGf, EPITOPES Brins oa tbe Paregoric We're s-a to !ss nf winter eki !acniwua and ?I1 tttci.

The frequent insntion of Governor il'tfucoyer as the stsc Popafet candidate for president will impress General Weaver that ho must come to the front with some new folly or lose party prestige. Solving the Silver Question. From the Houston Post Colorado is going to cover the dome of its new state house with a heavy plating of silver. Whenever we get to using silver for roofing purpose5 we have gone a long way towards solving the silver question. All ""e need then is a house to cover. Defends the Guv. From the EraoorU republican. There is too much unfriendly criticism of Governor Lewelliug's poetry. He ought to b3 encouraged to work at poetry all the time and leave tiie affairs of state to some ono else. Great Sport, From an nninowa. "Any good shooting on your farm?'' asked a hunter of a farmer. "Splendid," replied the agriculturist; "there is a lightning rod man down in the meadow, a cloth peddler at? tho house, a book agent out in the barn, and two tramps down in the stockyard. Climb light over 'the fence, young man, load both barrels, and sail in." Always Trustful and Loyal. From the Arkansas City Trarolcr. The Wichita Eagle has tho virtue of being loyal to Wichita aud all that per tains to it. Its love for truth prevented it from saying that Governor La welling's poem was a meritorious production, but it did the next best thing by saying that it was a column and a half iu length. That not only speaks volumes for the perseverence of the governor but great praise for the patience and endurance of those who weie obliged to hear it. A Wonderful Change. From thcSalimi I.epublic.in. The fine rains which central and west ern Kansas enjoyed last week have had a wonderful influence upon the wheat. Many fields which were at that time heading out looked unevenand yellow. The last few days have wrought a won derful change and many fields will yield an abundant harvest. There is no coun try on earth that recovers from the effects of a drouth with such rapidity as Kansas. The Truth Versely Told. By Walt Sliisou. "Wo aro going to the fair. 3farv Jane: all our neighbors will be there, Mary Jane; and we'll eat Chicago pie, and we'll diinlc Chicago rye, aud we'll breathe Chicago air, Mary Jane. We won't find the trip a joko, Mary Jane; for we'll leave our goods in soak, Mary Jane, and we'll save for sixty years just to square up the aneais, for the lair will leave us broke, Mary Jaue, Mary Jane, for the fair will leave us broke, Mary Jane, Less Corn. More Hell. From tho l.evcnwoith Times. Some fellow wrote in the register of tho educational department of the Kan sas exhibit of the world's. fair: "Kausas shows nothing but corn, Populists and disorder," and the Topeka Press is hot about it. If the Press were as irood a Pop paper as it would have the Po ps be lieve it would take this as a compliment. What's the matter with corn. Populists and disorder for tho state of Mis. Lease and ;,tho Dunsniore legislature? Mih. Lease didn't say to raise no corn, but less corn and more hell, so that some corn along with the Populists and dis order is certainly very appropriate, As to Sheriff's Fees, From the Topek.i Press. At the semi-nunual meeting of the Kansas Sheriffs.' association held at tho court house Friday evening the question of fees under the new law was discussed at considerable length. An opinion from Judge Muitin. of Atchison, who had been employed to investigate tho subject, was read at this luceting. It is his opinion that the act is against the sheriffs col lecting fees on foieclosure sales. The sheriffs will make a test case for tho su preme court and endeavor to have it de cided immediately. The district judges of the state have difTeied widely in their views as to the scope and effect of tho new law. Ona Advantage in tho Use of Silver. From the Emuorl.i Ilepublictn. It now appears that there was but one man engaged in robbing the train the other day, on which Governor Stono of Missouri was a passenger. The robber got two or three backs, containing a thousand dollars in bilver each, and, to make his escape, he had to drop thsm. They were too heavy for him to carry. He dropped one near where the robbery was committed, another a little farther on iu a coru field aud another still tarther away, 'ihe express packages, containing paper cunency, ho carried with him. If the railroads and banks carried nothing but silver, train and bank robbers would find it difficult to get away with any considerable amount. Dropping the sacks of silver above men tioned gave a clue to the direction in which the robber made his escape. The Trail of a Mar. He was from the west, the great, wild and woolly west, with its seas of gore and its fences of skulls, stake-and-ridered with jackknives. He hsd told about every kind of experience, in a business place near the -nare last night, from riding a -wild grizzly to whipping the Mexican army. At last I ventured to doubt the statement that he had killed two Apaches one with each load of a single-barreled gun. "Maybe you know somethin about the west?" "Xever was there, sir."'

Speaking of presence of mind at .sea,'' reflected the old Boston mariner, "I re member that many years ago, when Cant. William T. Glidden, formerly of the firm of Glidden Williams, wa.s in command of a ship bound to Sew Or leans, .she was htruck by a squall off the south side of Cuba, and the head of the foremast, close to the eyes of the rigging, splintered and broke, but held together. The topmast canted to lee ward, and it would have gone over tho side if the broken part had separated. Capt, Glidden kept the ship oil", brought the topmast upright hy the backstays, and then took :i spare spar, rove it up through the catharpins.lashed it around tho broken head of the foremast and the heel, or doublings, of the topmast, and around the foremast below thett op, and thus secured the lower mast, the topmast and all above them. "To think this out was the work of a second, but hours were required to make it complete. By presence of mind and using the material at hand, Capt, Glidden saved the expense and delay of putting into port. Seamen, as a gener al rule, are ready reasoners. There are no given rules by which a disaster can be repaired at sea: all depend upon i the experience and skill of the captain j or the officers. A captain who is not n unmitigated egotist will act upon a hint suggested by a common seaman. "An illustration of this kind occurred in which a link of the slings of the main yard was broken. Whil. secur ing the yard with a tackle, a sailor sug gested that a shackle would supplj- the place of the broken link. There were several shackles on hoard, evidently designed for that purpose, which had attracted the sailor's notice in clearing out a locker, but which was unknown to her captain and mates. In addi tion to thee there were shackles for cverv niece of chain ritnrinsr in the ship, and for the cables, too. The sailor, in turning' them over, divined j e. On that same voyage, w?ile their u. On that same voyage, wile bringing the ship up in the Itivcr Jler- sey during a gale, at Liverpool, the cable parted, but another anchor and chain saved her from drifting ashore. At low water the parted chain and an chor were recovered, and the broken link was replaced by a shackle. The shipmaster who fitted the ship out when new had provided for such contingen cies, but as she was then ten years old the means to meet them were unknown to her officers. The intelligence of the common sailor rendered them available. These aud various other mean to re pair accidents had been regarded as so much old iron. This led the captain to overhaul the contents of every locker in the ship, and be found appliances for constructing a jury rudder, for repairing pumps, btop ping leaks, and so on, and had them all properly assorted, that they might be used when required. It was evident that he who had fitted the ship out was a man of thought and exten sive experience, and had made provision to meet accidents that were liable to occur. "When Capt. Eben Howe command- i ed the Sevr York packet Koscias a man Jell overboard while the ship wa& jrotng rapidly through hc water. "ot only were the life buoys cut adrift, but spare studding sail yards, billets of vood, and planks were thrown overboard, and a man was tent aloft to look out while the ship was b-iing brought to the wind and the lee-quarter boat -vr made ready Sor lowering. A passenger a.sked Capt. Howes why he had thrown vo many thing overboard. jTIe was answered, because they would be guides to the boat in looking after tbe man.

Jeffrej- IlMiUnn TVs Onrr Taken to the Hoj-nl Table Inntdn a Tie. Jeffrey Hudson was a celebrated dwarf, born in England in 1010. At eight years of age he wan but eighteen incites high. Ho was engaged as u serv ant to the duke of Wellington. While entertaining Charles I. and the queen at his summer castle, the duke had lit tle Hudson brought upon the table in side a cold pie. When the pic was opened there stood the little fellow, dressed in regimentals, with a tiny sword at his side.

The attention of all Americans is now drawn to the Sandwich islands. The political possibilities which now exist of tho.se fair daughters of the tropics. Oahu. Kauai and Molokai. be coming either the sisters or the wards of our states, have excited the interest and the curiosity of everyone.and every bh, of information regarding these isles of the Pacific is eagerly read. Among the many interesting things to be seen in Honolulu is the royal tomb. As the visit to be described oc curred a certain number of years ago, it is possible that things may not be now as they were then, but it is not probable that anyone has violated the sanctity of the grave. The royal tomb is situated immedi ately contiguous to the palace grounds. Jt is composed of a single chamber of lair size and height. Its walls are of massive coral, and a high and heavy wail oi the same material surrounds the vault. Close around the coral in- closure is a grove of shade trees, and among them the gontle breezes that come in from the ocean seem to hymn forth a requiem for the departed inonarchs. The entrance to this abode of defunct royalty is guarded by a keeper, who bears as a sign of his au thority the ponderous key of the sacred repository. The bolt obeys bis efforts nnd the heavy door swings back on its rusty hinges. A collection of em blazoned coffins at once meets your ered witu purple gaze, J ncy are cove: satimand gold velvet of the same hue, and rest one. above the other on frames of koa the wood of the acacia.

It was then that the method employed by mod ern nations was adopted in the Sand- i wich islands.

There they lay. a few dusky monarehs. and some of their descend ants. They had swayed the scepter of absolute despotism. Some of them had I seen human blood flow from the man- gled and quivering limbs of victims laid i on the altars of-their old gods. At that moment and amid such hellish orgies they little thought of or cared for tho" spot that was to mark their earthly i oblivion. Sn;ne of them had gone on j the long journey in the blackest gloom j of paganism; others under the light of a divine revelation and the influence of Christianity. The first royal dead interred in this tomb were Jjiholiho, or Kamehameha "fl., and his consort, Kamamelu, both of whom died while visiting England in 1824.

It was of immense proportions, for the queen was a woman immensely large. But her vast physical bulk was a good rmblem of the imperious toue of her character when a pagan queen and of her noble deportment when converted to Christianity. Never was there a greater change produced in a human being. Never was a death scene more happy than her own. Her life after her conversion Avas such as would have brightened the records of Christian heroism. Her simple tomb gives one a clearer viw of the end of all earthly power and glory than all the glorious monuments that mark the graves of the heroes of tho old world. X. Y. World.

I "Wull, all I got to say, then, is, that j Joe Ball better keep his eye peeled!" exclaimed the Old Settler, with an omin I ous shake of his head. "If tha's anything that b'ars won't never forgit nor for give it's bein' ketched an' -done fer j wile they'm asleep. Jf they'm took in j arter a srquar' btan-up-an-take-dry-knocks rumpus an' rassel, they'm will I in' to go along an' no more about j it, 'cause they've ha fair chance an' it were their own f if they want up to the mark.

Joe Ball wants to keep his eye peeled, Squire!" "Poof '"-ejaculated the Squire, scorn fully. "It may be poof, an' it may be puff, an' it may be piff!-' tho Old Settler ex claimed, ''but I know w'at I know, b'gosh! Poof!

"Well, major,"' said the squire, ag j gravatingly, "P'ison Brook Holler an' Sugar Swamp is difSer'nt." j "Diftern't! I should say so," exclaimed J the Old Settler. "An' that's w'at'll j make it aU the wuss fer Joe Ball. That?

That'll make him so much wuss that tha hain't no tellin' w'at he won't do to Joe w'en he gits the chance. There's where Joe wa'n't smart If he'd a give it out that I he ketched the b'ar in Sugar Swamp, the j b'ar mowt a felt grateful to him, an' I mebbe let up on him a leetle, but to be 1 ketched asleep aa' then to hov folks know that he were ketched 1tTPok "e,S.strC,: no ,b,ar th" in the P'ison t thinks any thing of hisself could get over that with out makin' things hum to git even.

E2 it is, though, I know jist how that b'ar feels. Joe orter know'd enough, b'gosh, to give it out that he ketched tho b'ar in Sugar Swamp." The Old Settler looked as if he felt sorry for Joe's shortsightedness in this serious matter, and we waited for some expression of the Squire's opinion on the subject, but the Squire did not seem in clined to give any, unless one remark he made had some bearing upon it. ''I've alluz hecrd.'' said he, "that if anj-body were lookin' fer agur an' idjits, he allu p'intcd straight for Sugar Swamp. Tha s jist c? lauch agur there ez tha ever were, but tha's one less idjit. An' he hain't dead, nuther." The Old Settler pondered over this re mark of the Squire's for some time, evi dently trying to think who it might bo that the Squire had in his mind. But he apparently could not recall him, and would not humor the Squire by asking whoTi he meant, for he dropped the subject and went bck to Simeon Puter bow and his bear. 'Simeon,' says my ancister, 'plug that b'ar full o' lead to wunst,' says he, 'or tha'll come a time w'en you'll set down with sorrcr,' says he. 'pcrvidin' ye kin set down at all.' says he, 'the chances bein' -ag'in' it,' says he. 'That b'ar were ketched asleep an' it won't fcrgit it, says he. 'It's stuffed fuller o' revenge than a groun' hog is o clover. says he. 'an' ve want to Jtnoek th.it re venge out of it with a dose o' lead, says he. 'But Simeon only sniffed an says: 'Poof!' an' my ancister went off sor rerin'. "Simeon Puterbow wa'n't p'ticlar pop'iar round the deestric', hnt lie hadn't never did ncthsn' that wa'n't honest. Still, he had ways, an" folks didn't keer much fer him.

But the widder didn't, an' took Simeon Puterbow inste'd. An' she'd a married him, too, an' Simeon 'd a be'n right in clorer, if he hada't a poo fed at my ancister, and had plugged his b'ar full o' lead. "Simeon kep the b'ar tied to a pole, an' one mornin' he got up an' found that the b'ar had slipped the rope offen his neck, an' were roamin' round the premises. But be didn't seem to want to f;o 'way, an' didn't make no objec tion to bein' tied up ag'in. This nice an' peaceful way o the b'ar made Si meon larf more an' more at w'at my an cister said. Why,' says he, 'that b'ar wouldn't ez much ez scratch a dog, let alone clutch me.' T didn't say he'd clutch ye!' says my ancister. 'But bewar', Simeon!' says he. 'That b'ar mebbe won't eat ye, but wuss!' says he. "Long about then some one took to stealin' sheep from the clearin's an' get tin' away with 'em. Two or three chaps ez lived in the deestric' was suspicioned, but tha couldn't nothin' be found ag'in 'em. Nothin' were talked cbout but the sheep stealin,' an' -one day my an cister were to Simeon's an' ho says to Simeon: 'It'll go hard with that sheep-steal-in' cuss w'en we ketch him!' says he. 'It'll be stateVprispn fer him from the word go,' says he, 'if it's fer twenty year!' says he. "My ancister recommembered arter w'ds that the b'ar wer lyin' down ez 'if he were snoozin'; but when my ancis ter said them words the b'ar opened his eyes an' looked up snddent and queer. Then he riz up pooty soon, an' took to thinkin' like, now an' then turnin' his eyes to'ards Simeon. 'Simeon,' says my pop, 'bewar' o that b'ar!' says he. 'Poof!' says Simeon, an' my ancister went away. The nex' day he started fer a trip down the river with a raft, an' he were gone three weeks. The day arter that Job Sawyer, ez lived nex' to Simeon, got up at daylight and went out to his sheep pastur', an', b'gosh, three o' his sheep was gone. He foun the trail o' the thief an' follered it till it stopped. '"Great spooks!' says he, 'who'd a thunk it?' "So Job goes right back an' wakes up Squire Colduff an' says he wanted a war'nt, ez he had diskivered the sheep thief. The squire ast him who, an' w'en Job told him the squire most fell offen his cheer. But he give Job the war'nt, an' Jdb went an' woke up Si Salter, the constable, an' they started to git the sheep thief. They went straight to Simeon Puterbow's. 'Fore they woke Simeon up they stopped at his milk house. There hung Job's threo sheep! An' they was skinned. Then they went to the bzrn. There was the three pelts offen them sheep layin' on the barn floor! That's all they wanted. They got Simeon up, 6arved the war'nt, an' inarched him off, spito of all he could say. Job said artcrw'ds that ez he were gettin in the wagon he looked back an' see Simeon's b'ar dancin" round his pole an' a-huggin' of hisself ez if he was bustin' with joy over surnpin'; but Job said-he didn't think nuthin' of it, b'ar3 bein queer. "Wull, they made short work o' Simeon. Tha couldn't be no goin' back on the sheep bein' found in Simeon's milk house an' the pelts in his barn. Court sat in three weeks, an' they give Simeon four years. The news got back to Sugar Swamp jist ez my ancister got there from his trip down the river. He hadn't heerd a word about Simeon bein' arrested nor nothin', an' w'en he heerd the news he were jist goin' inter Sime on's yard, ez he were anxious to l'arcf how he were gittin' along with the b'ar. The b'ar were layin' down by its pole an' my ancister stood lookin' at it, pondcrin' like, w'en Job Sawyer kim along an' hollers out to him: 'Hooray! Simeon goes to jail for four years! nooray!' "With that the b'ar jumped up an' begun to dance an' hug hisself, "'an L 'most hollered hooray, too. T warned him!' my ancister hol lered. 'I warned him ag'in that b'ar, but he poofed at me! The b'ar stole them sheep an' put it onter Simeon! Sure ez guns, the b'ar stole then? sheep an' put it onter Simeon!' "The b'ar quit dancin' an' huggin' itself, an' laid down lookin' sneakin'. -,T -.j.-, .A My ancister tried his best to git Simeon h. 1 o, om cv rynoay laried at the idee of abarstealm sheep an puttin it onter I some one else, an' it wan't no use.

A TaILOB'S SON. K DoYou Think His Ambition Wss; a Selfish. One? Young Engfer remembered quite dia-, tlnctly that morning seven years ago, I when Miss Sturgis had come with her mother to his father's shop to be meas-' ured for a riding habit. He remeia-, bered the frock of large plaid that she wore, all green and blue and black, and he remembered her blue felt hat with its ostrich feathers; but what had made a still deeper impression upon his boy ish mind was her pretty pink-and-white face, her great hazel eyes and her sun ny curls, which, after being caught at the nape of her neck with a dark blue ribbon, went riopling down over her rough brown coat nearly to her waist. 1 ae naa stooa at tlie mtie ciesic m tho corner making out bills for" it was al Saturday, and-, there not being any school, he was engaged at his usual holiday occupation. He was sixteen then, And he fancied that she was a year or two younger; for he had overheard her mother say that it was her first riding habit, and that they did not care for an expensive one because she would outgrow it. He re caUed that she had blushed at this, as though it were a crime to be young and growing, and that a feeling of resent ment had come into his heart against her mother for subjecting her to such an embarrassment. Seven years had wrought a great many changes, but the shop was in the same old place there on Sixth avenue, under the shadow of the Jefferson Mar ket police court's brick walls, and with the elevated railroad trains rumbling past the windows of the upper room where he studied and where he slept. Karl Engfer, the tailor's son, however, was no longer a schoolboy, looking after his father's books and making out bills on holidays. He was now a stu dent at the general theological seminary a Protestant Episcopal clergyman in embryo and he wore somber black garments of a somewhat clerical cut to indicate his chosen profession. Just why he had gone into the church he hardly dared to confess, even to him self, because he was really a conscien tious young fellow at heart, and he be lieved that there was such a thing as a divine call to the priesthood. In his case he doubted if the call was divine. The orthodox teachings of a maiden lady who presided over a class in the mission Sunday school that he attended on Carmine street had not been wHhout their effect. He had accepted the Sariptures as truth, he had been bap tised and he had been confirmed, but the impulse to go forth and preach the Gospel had come rather from a wish to elevate himself above tho level of the surroundings in which he had been born and raised than from anj burning desire to lift his fellow-man from the Slough of Despond. Young Engfer now and then inflicted upon himself a sort of moral flagella tion. At such times he opened his heart to his own honest gaze, and he invariably found there a deeper under lying motive for his course, of which ho was half ashamed. It was nothing more nor less than an ambition to gain a position from which he might aspiro to the love of the little maid in tho plaid frock who had ordered her first? riding-habit from his father on that Saturday seven years ago. It would not have-been an unworthy ambjtipn, he told himself, under other wrpnmitnTicpc Tf if. totv nnli. o saj.. ondarv consideration! If he had rrir,n TiimcLolf r fTifi H ti fi-Tref n-i1 f?c? rJ sire had come afterward, he emilrl hnvP-! pacified his chiding conscience with tho I assurance that a wife such as Madeline Sturgis would make him would be of incalculable assistance to hhn in his parochial work; but now he felt' that ha was using his holy calling as a means 1 to accomplish an end that was distinct ly selfish, and as such hypocritically base. These moods, as might bo supposed, were morbidly depressing. All the afternoon he had been fighting over again in his heart the same old battle I bpfKrfin thp. rirrh t. artH 1ir mmnlr nf .a.. 0 I and now, tired out by the struggle, he nan come aown irom nis little upper room into the tailor shop on the ground floor, and was standing looking out i through '.the glass door at the passing througs 'on the avenue.

Had it been otherwise, however, it is doubtful whether the vounir theological student would have observed it. He was plunged deenlv in thought- and as his feet trav- aain over the seven years that had in- tervened since that eventful day wh Madeline Sturgis had come into his life. Asnc icoKea oacs at we ixjt inai ne was then bs wondered bow he had ven-

ve been lifted com tured to let the seed of hope take root in his heart. The son of a cheap Ger- man tailor: his companions, like him self, the children of poor tradesmen it was certainly a wild notion that pos sessed him to woo and win this aristo cratic little maiden, whose people were not only rich enough to buy and sell him and his father a thousand times over but were oi a social stratum far above that in which the Engfcrs lived and moved and had their being. He remembered how he had carried home the first riding-habit when it was finished, and how he had been asked to wait in the dining-room until Miss Stur gis could try it on and ascertain wheth er it was entirely satisfactory; and he recalled how he had sat there in that basement (apartment with its extension table and its leather-covered chairs; how he had looked with admiration upon the engravings in walnut frames that hung upon the walls, and how he had hoped all the time that there might be some complaint, so that the little la-d- would come down to show him just what was wrong and he could get an other glimpse of her. But his father was a good workman. The habit was all that could be desired, and he had re turned home disappointed. The days when ho saw Madeline he called his red-letter days, and for a 1 time they were fewer than those that are indicated in the printed calendars. One January afternoon, however, Mrs. Sturgis had come into the shop and had asked his father if Karl would not like to go to the mission Sunday-school on Carmine street, in which she was very much interested, and his father, who would have gone through fire and flood to please a customer, so fearful was he of losing a dollar's worth of trade, had said that Karl would certain ly be there on the following Sunday. From that time on he saw her more frequently, and his infatuation in creased in proportion. She taught a class of small boys across the aisle from where he usually eat, and on more than one occasion the maiden lady who presided over the group of larger boys, of which he was one, was compelled to demand with some em phasis his return to the business of the hour, his gaze having a way of wander ing repeatedly from his catechism or I his Bible to the face of the pretty little teacher m the opposite pew. One incident that he recalled "with some pleasure had occurred on a Sun day afternoon in early spig. He had noticed that Mrs. Sturyis was not present in tho chapel; that Madeline had come alone; and he had wondered all through tho lesson whether it would seem rude on his part, after the close of the session, to offer to walk home with her. If he only could, he thought, it would bo the happiest day of his life; but ho feared that she might think him impudent and presuming, and, when the school was dismissed, and the scholars and teachers filed out into the street, he lacked the courage to go forward and speak to her. But his happiness had come, never theless; for, in foBowing her at what he considered a most respectful dis tance, his eyes never once leaving her lithe young figure, clad in a well-fitting fcpring jacket that his father had cut with his own hand, he hud seen her rudely jostled by a drunken man, and had dashed to her aid almost before ho realized what ha vas doing. The rec ollection of her gratitude was one of his most cherished memories; and now, aS he turned iro Washington place, he was thinking of how, on that occasion, j her manner was so cordial and so com pletely lacking in any indication thai Pletel-V Peking in any indication that she recognized any difference whatever their social station Hc reembexed that it was on that da' that hls determination to study for the minJstry was formed, and that it rmT out of her telling him that tho afsLstan!' miliJstcr at tho mission had dined with them on the eveninj "The day will come," ho had thought, "when I, too, may be asked there to dine." And now he was thinking that day might not be so far distant; for, was he not going to t7ic mission, the week fol lowing, to tako tho place, temporarily, I of that very same assistant minister, T,- TIC- T- 1 1 1 1, liev' mT- ."ai WQ naa neara, was to oe married ana go 10 rurope ior a three months' honeymoon tour? Yes, it was true, as Lord Beacons field had said: "Any man may be what he makes up his mind to oe."

"Sit down," she said, and she drew a chair out for him and another for her self. "Now, Mr. Engfer," she went on, "I am awfully obliged to yon for having brought me my habit." As the young man looked at her in the soft light cast by the pink shades that adorned the candles in the candel abra he thought he never before real ized how beautiful she was. She was I so bright this evening, too so cheer-! ing1 and, what was dearer to him than all else, sue was realty Almost lamuiar.

The chasm which had once seemed so wide between them was growing ninwircr and narrower. There was no doubt of that. Oneo he was ordained the breach might easily be closed en tirely. "And now," she went on, "I want to ofTer you my congratulations upon the good news I heard to-day; that you are coming P: the mission to take Mr. David's place." Karl could not' believe that he heard aright. Could it be that she was actn- ally pleased that Mr. David was goinj away? At one time during the latter part of his attendance! at the mission Sunday-school he had thought that she cared something for the young divine, and he had really been a little jealous of him. "Yon arc very kind, Miss Sturgis," he said, "very i:ind. Do you take as much interest in the mission as formerly?" "Oh, dear, yes. More than everl" "Then I suppose I shall see a good deal of vou there?" "Of me?" she asked. GurpriscdTy. "Oh, you don't Icnow, then! Why, I thought everyone knew. Haven't jou heard whom Mr. David is going to marry?" A sharp pain aa from a knife-thrust shot through Karl's heart. He seemed suddenly unable to breathe. There was a rumbling, rushlny sound in his head and a swaying, darkening cloud before his eyes. He was con scious of a tingling chilliness, and then of a numbness, in his hands, bis feet, and ltis legs from the knees down. He made an effort to pull himself together to hide his feelings but he failed, He felt that he was stifling; that he must get into the fresh air, at any cost; and he heard himsclt mumbling something, 'he scarcely knew what, Ills voice seemed so strange and unnatural. The next moraeDc he-was srtumblimr up the area steps on to d the sidewalk; and an instant later he had come into collision with some ono who was about to mount the stoop.

Presently he became conscious of a Bound of lapping waves thc murmur of waters and a chill in the air that pierced him to the marrow. Be callod thus to a realizatiortof his physi cal being, he glanced down, to sec that he was standing at the extreme end of a long pier, with the dark river flowing below. A keen wind was blowing in his face; a thousand lights glittered on the opposite shore. "Another step," he murmured, "and I should have been out of it all. Why did I not take that one as I took the others? And oh, I must have taken so many to-night! How tired I am!" He stood for a moment in hesitation. Something was whispering to him to take that one step more. It was for her, lit told him, that he had adopted J tne caaren as nis caning. VI wnat use was he to the world now, or it to him?

VANITY OF THE SAVAGE. Tfow African Men and Wotarn "Do Up1 Thrlr llulr and Brartl. During the hot hours of midday, when all actual labor is suspended in the village, the natives, urged by vani ty and national pride, devote a great deal of time to the arrnngement ot their odd but elaborate toilets. Hair- j dressing is one of the principal obliga- t tions.aud constitutes one of the numer ous domestic duties allotted to tho "fair" sex. A reed mat spread out in some shady corner the woman sits down, and the man upon whom the operation is to be performed reclines at full length, resting his head in her lap. She begins at onco to un plait his hair, and soon has it all raveled, and then, with a coarvs wooden instrument resembling tho j head of a child's toy rake, she combs it thoroughly until it is clear of all en tanglements, and standi out all over the head in a thck, bushy mass six or seven inches deep. It is now generous' ly greased with oil from the palm nut. The woman then par it off into sec tions, and very ioon the coarse bunch of hair, cleverly manipulated by her nimble fingers, is woven down closely to the head. TI1C3 display a good deal of ingenuity in forming a variety of de signs. Sometimes a series of little plaited strands, like rat tails, hang in a fringe all around the head. Often solid plaits of hair about the sine of a goat's horn are niade to stand out from th t head in different styles. Two oC these will appear bproutinr- fronn ono and the top of the head, or will drop over the forehead lie along- the nose. A very pop ular fashion is to have a roll of hnir along each side of the head, ending- la two solid plaits, which curl over each cheek like sheep's horn. The plaiting operation is also extend ed to the man's beard. The mustachef is rmoved, and so are the eyebrows, with u razor, which is a small cheese- thc means employed do not inconven ience him in the least.
