The torch Wdfl applied to the mighty pile of pitch-soaked wood a t 10:50 o'clock. During the five hours the body burned Impressive ceremonies were en-acted about the blazing pile, weird

recitations, inter-addrcsscs replete remlniiicences and friends of the

dead man, filled time with deep inter-est and added to the strangeness of the scene. When at last the consuming flames had done well their work the ashes of the man who In life had found stony pathways and briar-strewn playgrounds were gathered together with reverential care and placed In an urn on which loving hands had traced in many hues pictures symbolic of the princi-ples which had once animated the life of him who was no more.

Not since the day nearly seventy years ago, when Byron and Trelawny stood in the glare of blading driftwood that cremated the remains of their friend, the poet Shelley, has a stnvnjrer funeral ceremony marked the flying time.

Eminent legal counsel had been taken to dis-cover if any objection could be found in the statutes to the fulflllinent of the wishes of the dead man. That the morbidly curious might not disturb the solemn rites the utmost secrecy was maintained.

The place finally selected was in that dreary waste of sand and bog in Indi-ana a t the end of the lake. There was a secret t r ip from the great city to the Baltimore & Ohio train, a hurried run to Miller's, a small junction village 30 miles southeast of Chi-cago, a dismal fur.eral march through the uninhabited region that separates the hamlet and the lake shore, and then while the northern sky was pulsating and trembling in the strange tints of the aurora tx>reahs the monk-robed chaplain bade the dead farewell and Mr. Jaxon touched the torch to the huge pile.

When the dreary spot had been reached the body of Collins was re-moved from the casket About the form was draped a Grecian robe of finest linen and purest white. The head remained uncovered. The corpse was laid upon the topmost oaken plank of the funeral pile and then the Whitechapelers lighted their torches.

There Is a queer complication in the will of Mrs Memman, who died in Jack-son a year ago.

There is a suspicion that all is not as it should be and a court must de-termine it.

On one occnsion Justice Mnnisty was on circuit a t Exeter for the assizes, says tho London Tid-Blts. One morning ho lef t his lodgings early for a stroll and finding tha t he had plenty of time on his hands before the court assembled he turned into a hair-dresser's shop for the purpose of getting shaved and generally trimmed up. Customers being scarce at that early hour there wns only one assistant present in the place. When the judge entered the man jumped up with alalf i ty and bowed him Into the operating chair with all a barber's suave politeness. Having lathered his dis-tinguished customer's face and stropped his razor with more than ordinary vigor, he commenced to at tack tho judi-cial stubble. But ho hadn't got fur In his work before he suddenly paused, with one hand on the judge's nose and the other waving the razor paln-fuUy near Sir Henry's t h r o a t "Blessed if I don't think," said the barber, " t h a t you're the old covr what gave me fiye years a t Winchester." The judge's feelings may lie , better imag-ined than described, but he merely re-plie<L with what coolness he could sum-mon to his aid: "1 don't know, my good fellow; I have a liad memory for faces." However, the mun went on shaving, and Justice Maoisty rongrat-ulated himself that the'ex-convict didn't bear malice. This easiness of mind came a little too soon. After the shave tho judge, with chucacteristiu determin-ation, decided to curry oup his original programme and have' h a hair cut as well. To his horror the barber had no sooner exchanged the razor for his scis-sors than his locks bognn to fall in a perfect shower on tho floor. "Hold on, man, hold onl" exclaimed tho judge; "I only want a trim up, I tell you; don't cut it so s h o r t " "Cut it short bo blowed," replied tho barber, slicing away triumphantly; "you didn't cut it short when you give me flvo years in the stone jug. This is the prison crop you've got to have, old man, as sure as a gun, so you'd best take it kindly."

A judge was journeying up to the north of England in a fast train, which, a f te r leaving London, did not slop till it came to Rugby. The only other oc-cupant of the carriage wiis a well-dressed and apparently gentlemanly man, who took no notice of the judge till the train had left the terminus. Then t^e man came over* and seating him-self opposite the judge poured out a torrent of foul-mouthed abuse and threats against the lat ter for having sent him to penal servitude for coining somo years before. The judge waited till the man paused for breath and then said very quietly: "My dear sir, don't you think it 's rather bad form to talk shop In private life? Ah, you don't think so! Very well, then, let us relate some of our mutual experiences. I have no doubt that I shall find yours a good deal more entertaining than yon will mine." The fellow was so non-plussed by the judge's fearless good humor that he quieted down and actu-ally did expatiate on some of the inci-dents in his career. Probably he never saw the nice point of satire in a judge appealing to a convict he had sentenced on a question of "bad form."

The following Is told of Sir Henry Hawkins, who. rightly or wrongly, has the reputation of being a severe judge, and is consequently more dreaded than beloved by the criminal classes. Sir Henry, as is well known. Is in private life an ardent follower of the turf, and when more serious business permits seldom fails to attend the Newmarket races. On one occasion he was return-ing from a meeting on .the classic heath, and had entered a railway carriage at the station for the purpose of returning to town. Three undesirable-looking fellow-passengers followed him in, and Sir Henry wus thinking of changing his carriage, when a fourth man, who was also on the point of entering, stared hard a t the judge, got back on to the platform, and, addressing his compan-ions. said: "Come, get out of t h a t boys—a nice warm shop that is you've got into. Do you know who tliat 'mug' is you were going to take on?" "Who is It, Bill?" asked one of the men, as they cleared out of the compartment "Why, 'Orklns, to be sure—a proper sort of 'mug' tha t to try our game on, eh?" Sir Henry in the meanwhile, laughing in his sleeve, had recognized the man who had moved the others off as a man he had sentenced a t the Old Bailey for card-sharping In railway trains. The others, not knowing him, had marked him down as a "mug" or "f la t" on whom to practice. The judge's reputation probably saved him from annoyan ce.

MARRIAGES IN CHINA.

I t Is No t Abso lu te ly Necessary fo r t h e l l r l d e g r o o i u t o B e P r e s e n t .

A Chinese engagement dates Its be-ginning from tho exchnngc of red cards between the parents of the contracting parties. These cards in many districts are immense documents almost the slzo of a horse-blanket They are Important for the reason that they arc used as evi-dence In ease of disagreements In tho future. We seldom hear In China of broken engagements. Yet if a quarrel cannot bo settled peaceably recourse Is had to tho law, and the judge usually imposes a fine upon the party who has broken the contrac t The chief Inci-dent in a Chinese marringo is the arrival of tho bride in her bridal clothes before the house at her chosen one. That Is a de facto fulfillment of the contract Tho wedding day is determined by the parents of tho groom. Tho Imperial calendar names tho lucky days, and on such days tho so-called "red celebra-tions" take place, both In tho city nnd country. Tho same bridal clothes may be used several times. I n districts where' it is customary to celebrate the weddings in the forenoon tho weddings of tho co-wives take place In the afternoon or In the evening, according to the Ostslatis-cher Lloyd. The Chinese thus hope to make them less Important T h a t the chief par t of a Chinese marriage is the arrival of the bride a t the house of tho groom Is Illustrated again by the fact that the sons are often married without being present at their own weddings. It is not believed to be fortunate to change the wedding day when once de-cided. If the future husband, there-fore, happens to be called away on the wedding day the marriage takes place by sending the bride to his house.

Chinese law recognizes seven grounds for divorce from a woman—childless. Improper conduct neglect of the parent of the husband, a tendency to steal, jealousy and Incurable disease. A nat-ural consequence of the Importance at-tached In China to male heirs is t h a t where they are absent, the husband marries a co-wife. This," however. Is not general, and Is limited to families of wealth. The bad results of the sys-tem are recognized by tho Chinese themselves. The practical Chinese, therefore, have adopted a moie simple way of obtaining heirs—the adoption of children who belong to side branches of the family. In this way the family line is kept intact. In the absence of male descendants in tho side branches of the family, the sons of strangers are adopted. Tho Chinese prefer this meth-od to marrying sccond wives.

INTELLIGENT INSECTS.

S o u t h A m e r i c a n A n t s T h a t C u l t i v a t e Grass , O w n Slaves a n d Use Umbre l l a s .

A recent lecturer on ants and their ways described those of South America, who build immense structures and pro-vide space for the storage of grain. Wood ants, inhabiting hardwood trees, divide their houses into forty compart-mcnts. Noticing the mining ants, the lecturer said much might be learned from their cleanly habits and their won-derful sanitary arrangements. Some kinds of ants do not keep cows, but live entirely on grain. Mr. Plunket gave some facts about their interesting harvesting operations — stating tha t they planted and cultivated a kind of grass called the rice and were so ad-vanced in civilization that malting was understood by them. Then there are mushroom growing ants who cultivate fungus, and others again who use um-brellas. Several species make raids on the black ants, rob them of their larvm und compel the poor black ante to be their slaves. In the burying of their dead ante show wonderful intelli-gence, having cemeteries, and even bury their slaves in a different place from their masters, and are quite up in fu-neral pageantry. In conclusion the lecturer said t h a t much could be learned from an t life, in their wonder-ful government, si.nitaiy arrangements, common brotherhood, nursing and care of the young, temperance and love of fresh air,

W. F. Liesching, writing in the new number of the Selborne Society's Mag-azine on ante in Ceylon, says he saw one day a str ing of ante streaming forth, evidently in search of "pastures new." He fiicked away the leader and waited to see the resul t An Immediate ha l t was made by the foremost ante, and a scene of the utmost confusion en-sued. The ante from behind kept ar-riving a t the scene of the catastrophe and there was soon a black crowd of anta huddling and jostling one another. Some detached themselves from the main group and took a turn round, try-ing to find traces of their leader. At last the tail end of the line arrived, and a f t e r brief consultation they all started off again, and a line soon began to un-ravel itself from the tangled mass, moving back to the hole from which the whole company had so lately start-ed on "pleasure bound or labor all in-t e n t "

A COMMON ERROR.

F e w R e m e m b e r t h e D i scove re r of t h e Pac i f l o O c e a n .

Why is it that well-informed people so persistently forget the name of the man who first discovered the Pacific ocean? asks the New York Tribune. In the songs of poets and the speech of emperors poor Vasco Nunez de Balboa is forgotten and his achievement ascribed to almost anybody else. Keate, "on looking into a volume of Chapman's Homer," thought of the oceans and the stars, and sang:

Then felt I l ike somo watcher of tho sides When a new p lane t swims into his ken. Or like s toa t Cortcz, when with eagle eyes H e gazed a t t he Pacific; all bis men Gazed a t each o ther with a wild eurmlso. Silent upon a peak in Dar iea

Now comes the German emperor, and credits Sir Francis Drake with having first seen the "great water." For the benefit of emperors, poets "and sich" i t may be stated that the first European to see the Pacific ocean from tho Amer-ican continent was Vasco Nunez de Bal-boa, who beheld it from the eminence now known as Mount Culebra, about half way across the isthmus of Panama. Neither Cortez nor Sir Francis Drake had any share in his achievement

This simulation of lycanthropy, says a letter from Africa in Goldthwaito's Geographical Magn'zlne, Is known hero by the name of "Kuyon," which has been translated into Krovboy English as the.man tiger, although the practice is not wholly confined to men. The Krovboy English name is a misnomer, as it is well known that no tigers exist in Africa, but it is also a well-known fact that there are man-eating leopards. In one month. In a district comprising some twenty square miles, more than twenty people were killed by the leop-ards. At first tho writer was very skep-tical as to the power of this animal to carry off human beings, but that power has been fully substantiated. It is also a well-known fact that human beings disguisiHl in leopards' skins have simu-lated the ways of these animals, and, like them, lay in wait to destroy their fellow creatures.

Several malefactors have been con-victed and executed by the authorities for this crime, and when brought to trial the skin and different articles employed have been produced in most cases. The man or woman who assumes this par t must kill seven (a magical number among tho natives) living an-imals, Including the human species, dogs, fowls, deer, etc. After this he can render himself invisible and be invulner-able. The first thing he must possess is a complete leopard skin, and then in the darkness of night he must make the small tomahawk he carries and the spikes used on the hands. These are made out of a gun t h a t has killed seven people, tempered with blood freshly drawn from himself. At full moon he must hold a vigil. alone, by the banks of a broad stream, and watch steadily tho reflections of the moon's Image in the water, during which time the nov-itiate Is supposed to see wonderful vis-Ions and obtain supernatural strength.

Then, lying in wait for his prey af te r the manner of the leopards, he pounces upon the unwary victim, teaYing open his throat and drinking his life blood. The lycanthropo then proceeds to dis-member the body of his victim, pulling off by main force thumbs, big toes, and flesh between the eyes, and then tear-ing open the still quivering body to ob-tain the h e a r t The latter is eaten. When the body is anointed with the fa t about the entrails it is supposed to confer invisibility.

Strangers and women passing alone on the road are tho usual victims. The writer was present in Mayumba with Mr. Evans when a native of Camma was traced and-caught in the bush after sus-picions had been aroused, owing to the slaughter of two other Camma men. As the Europeans had no jurisdiction and the native chiefs of Mayumba de-cided they could not interfere, the man was sent on to his own people, and was afterward executed there for a similar offense shortly after his arrival.

Here In the interior. In order to pre-vent tho spread of the Kuyon, the sldn of every leopard killed is cut into nar-row strips and divided among the elders of the place. Quite recently, however, I was in a native village and saw the leopard-skin spikes hollowed to receive the fingers. A small wedge-shaped tomahawk was attached thereto through a hole in the wooden handle, which was plentifully bedaubed with blood. The Kuyon's disguise had been found se-creted in a hollow tree, and I was pres-ent a t the confession and death. I t was a woman named Aroonda, about forty years old. She confessed to the murder of three men and one woman, and re-gretted tha t she had not been able to find more victims to make up the magio total of seven.

She was of fragile appearance and it seemed physically impossible that sho had done the deeds imputed to and con-fessed by her. From her appearance, and because of the wild expression of her eyes, I fully believe she was insane, but this, when broached, was scouted by the judge, as she had successfully carried on her household and family duties. Her two chlldicu were sold into slavery, the natives having the idea tha t the offspring of a Kuyon soon-er or later attain the same instinct The husband and family were unanimous in desiring the removal of the children to such a distance that they would be un-able to return to the town, and it was only by continued Intercessions that they were not executed along with the mother.

Each Kuyon plans individually his schemes and-career, and in an experience of over twenty years here in Africa I have known only two cases, both of which were in Gaboon, where two or more persons engaged in concert to per-form their ferocious and nefarious mur-ders, and under no circumstances should it bo considered an association of mem-bers of a secret society.

May not a grinding sense of wrong received without means of paying the aggressor drive some of these people to the verge of madness, or may i t not be the result of a hereditary homicidal mania?

THE COUNTY CONVENTION AN ENTHUSIASTIC GATHERING

OF ENTHUSIASTIC REPUBLICANS.

T h e Uloh M e n W e r e Mos t D e c i d e d l y I n I t .

Tho Republican county Convention met Inst Thursday in a small hall on Pearl St. Grand Rapids and elected dele-gates to the state convention. J . T. Laniareaux called the convention to or-der anil culled Aaron Clark, of Caledonia to the choir. Committees on Creden' tials and order of business were appoint-ed and the convention adjourned until after dinner.

The report of committees on creden-tials had their report ready on time and it was unanimous except in the case of the eleventh ward in the city where the regular delegation was given the place. E. D. Conger, Pingreeite. dissented as this seated a Rich delegation, tho ma jorlty report was adopted. The com-mittee on order of business reported and the convention took a recess to caucus, by representative districts, for delegates to the state convention.

On re-assembling the following dele gates were elected:

AT LARGE

Hon. L. H. Hunt, of Lowell. FIRST DISTRICT

First ward, G. H. DeGraaf, Cornelius Stryker; Second, E. D. Conger, T. B. Goosen; Third, D. A. Blodgett, H . N, Moore; Fourth, Fred S. Chirk, George P. Wanty; Fifth, Thomas Bechtel, Jos.

After the election of delegates a reso-lution was presented favoring tho candi-dacy of Fred A Maynard for the At-torney Generalship but it failed to pass as the majority was opposed to instruct-ing the delegates.

Senator Sybratn Wosselius during the discubiion, which had by thiu time become a Rich Pingree light, referred to the county delegates as a lot ot farmers who were brought there and driven like cattle, which together with several oth-er contemptuous remarks did his candi-date, Pingree, very little good. The convention was strongly Rich and the delegates are of the same opinion.

Last Sunday morning Chas. Althen's store was entered by burglars and seven watches, and his beet chains and rings iu the show case were taken They alt^o fitted themselves with coats which they took. The «ood« were cheap so the loss only amounts to about ipliiO.

They obtained entrance by breaking a glass out of the back door and sliding the bolts with which it was locked. They first tried a back window, but could only raise it a couple of inches. There is absolutely no clew, although the follows were not green a t the busi-nesr. for they removed all lot numbers and price tags from the goods before they left the store.

This is the third time Althen's store has been burglarized and Chas. is get-t ing rather tired of it, but is making no great elTort to catch the thieves.

The following curious description of the American Standard of 1776 is transcribed from T/ie Scots Magazine for July , 1776:

' 'The Americau Ktundard is thun des-cribed: The colours of the American fleet have a snake with thin eon rattles, the fourteen h budding, depicted in the attitude of going to strike, with this motto, DON'T TRE.U) ON ME. It is a rule in heraldry that tho worthy prop-erties ol the animal in the crest borne shall be considered, and the base oneH cannot be intended. The ancients ac-counted a snake the emblem of wisdom, and. in certain attitudes, of endless duration. The rattle-snako Is properly a representative of America, as this ani-mal iu found in no other part of the world. The eye of this creature excels in brightness most of any other animals. Shi has no oye-lids, and is therefore an emblem of .vigilance. She never begins an attack, nor ever surrenders; she is therefore an emblem of magnanimity and true courage. When injured or in danger ot being injured, she never wounds till she has given notice to her enemies of their danger. No other of her kind shows such generosity. When undisturbed, and in peace, she does not appear to be furnished with weapons of any kind. Thoy aro latent in the roof of her mouth; and even when extended for her defense, appear to those who are not acquainted with her to be weak and contemptible; yet her wounds, however small, are decisive and fatal. She IH soluary. and associates with her kind only when it is necessary for their pres-ervation. Her poison IH at once the necessary means of digesting her food, and certain destruction to her enemies. The power of fascmatiou attributed to her, hy a generous construction resem-bles America. Those who look steadily at her are delighted, and involuntarily advance toward her, and having once approached, never leave her. She is frequently found with thirteen rattles and they increase yearly. She is beau-tiful in youth, and her beauty increases with her age. Her tongue is blue and forked as tho lightning."

The device of a rattlesnake was wrought upon many of the army and navy fliigs of the Revolution. In his Field book of the Revolution (vol. ii.. p. 505, nolo), Mr Lossing describos the flag of the Pnlpepper fVtrginia) Minute-men, in the regiment of which Patrick Henry was colonel. I t bore tho significant de-vice of a coiled rattlesnake; and on it were also inscribed, on the upper half, the groat orator's memorable words, "Liberty or Death," and at the bottom the legend."Don't Tread on Me!" Mr Lossing also states {Field book of the Revolution, vol. ii., p. 844, note) that " the Union Flag, adopted by the army on Jan. 1, 1770, had a representation of a rattlesnake, with the words, "Dont Tread on Me!"—by Charles D, Deshler, in Harper's Magazine for Ju ly .

Uniformity of spoiling is a strictly modern accoirplishment. Bays the au-thor of "The Sabbath in Puritan New England," a hampering innovation. In the descriptions of early meeting houses, "A square roofo without Dor-manii, with two Lucoms on each side," evidently means a roof without dormers or beams and with lucarnos, but who, unused to old records, would guess it?

They had in those days "turri t ts ," and " turet ts" and "turite" and "turyte" "feriats" and "tyrryts" and "toryettes" and "turiotta" and "chyrists," which wore one and the same thing. Ono church had orders for "juyces" and "rayles" and "naylcs"and "bymes" and "tymber" and "gaybels"and a "pu lpy f and "three pajyr of stayrs," a liberal supply of y'a.

Often in the same entry one word is spelled in three or four different ways. A portion of the contract in'the Roxbury church records roads:

"Sayd John is to fence in tho Buring Plas with a Fesy ston wall, seflghattly don for Strenk and workmanship, as also to mark a Doball gat t 0 or 8 fote wid and to hing it."

"Sefigattly" is sufflciently intelligible, and one can fancy the double gate all hinged, but who could guess that "fesy" is "facy," or faced smoothly?

A drowsy August afternoon, the light shimmering through the dense leaves of the broad spreading beach trees; a figure lying upon the grass holding m his hand a Magazine—not too heavy—just heavy enough for easy holding—the Cosmopol-itan, for August; just tho sort of read-ing matter for a midsummer after-noon—full of attractive illustrations; scenes and life in the fur off Philllpine Islands, with an experience of an earth--quake: photographs on the Ailantib Beach accompanying a charming sketch ' of Jersey's "Salt-Water Day," by Ham- I lin Garland; charming Spanish bits by j the artist Chase: lovely vistas, and en- j ticing groves, illustrating a California Farm Village, in which Col. Fitzsim-mons describes the growth and develop-ment of a model community of fruit farms. Of the fiction, Henry James, "Jersey Villas" makes delightful mid-summer reading and there is an odd story of Southern Life, while Curiosities of Musical Literature will furnish a half-hour's entertainment for every lov-er of music. English high society is always an interesting subject when dis cussed by one who is Of it, and knows it thoroughly, Henry Arthur Herbert, of Mucross, formerly an Olfioer of the Guards and an M. P., gives in an enter-taining way the cause of the revolution which ha's taken place in the society of London during the past thirty years. Even Murat Halstead's description of the Convention at Minneapolis is breezy and bright, and the beautiful photo-graphs which illustrate an article on Bridges and Bridge Building would at-tract a very unscientific reader. The one heavy article of the number is that of the famous English writer on Evolu-tion, St. George Mivart. I t is a part of the discussion in which he seeks to har-monize the principles of Evolution with the doctrines of Christianity—one of the most important series of papers e - r produced in a Magazine, and attractiii»j the widest attention among religion-and scientific minds, both in Englaml and this country.

USING DYNAMITK1

SPOKANE, Wash., July 10.—A tele-phone from Wardner says that Oen. Carlln has arrested 100 union strikers at Wardner and placed them under guard. The arrests have caused in-tense excitement and violence is liable to break out at any moment The military arrested Jack Wallace a t Catalde. He is suspected of being the ringleader iu the Mission massacre, and runs a low resort in that country. The troops aro deploying from Catalde and it is thought the hills will be scoured for other suspects. Gen. Car-lin now has 1,000 troops under his command ..nd has called on all members of the Miners' union to come in anri surrender. Citizens are jubilant over the action of the authorities and as some tough striker would be pointed out thoy would cry "Good! good!" and gave every token of pleasure at the downfall of the regime of the mob. The universal sentiment is favorable to martial law and the preservation of order.

WALLACE. Idaho, July 10.—Two rail-road bridges near Mullan were blown up Thursday night and with them sev-eral telegraph poles. The strikers also cut down a number of poles, thus shut-ting off communication by that route for a time. The Gern and*Granite mines arc all right. The rumor that tho Granite mine had been blown up probably started from the report of the explosion when the bridges were de-stroyed. Tho military investment of all tho towns is complete.

WALLACE, Idaho, July 18.—The ar-rest of miners oontiinies and several hundred are now huddled In the school-houses, empty warehouses and baseball stockade. They are closely guarded and cannot hope to escape. The troops have not captured any of the rifles or ammunition of the strikers which are hid in the surrounding hills. A number of the leading spirits in the insurrection are still a t largo. Among these aro Breen and Dallas, who came here from Butte to direct the campaign. Other leaders still at large are Petti-bone, Glover, Tobin and Sweeney. I t is claimed a t Cataldo that fivo bodies and a number of wounded men were picked up in Fourth of July canyon. Few of the fleeing strikers are coming this way. Most of them are passing over Bitter Root mountain into Montana, whore tho union is strong and where they can find aid and shelter. Two have been ar-rested here and booked on a charge of murder a t the police station. This charge will be preferred against every fugitive who is caught.

I t is probable the entire body of miners under arrest will be tried in the United States district court for con-tempt, though some of the prisoners will have to answer to tho charge of murder. A detachment of troops went to Murray Sunday and brought Frank Reed, the murderer of R. W. Stevens, to Wallace for safe keeping, as threats of lynching were heard on all hands, and a well-organized mob had planned to attack the jail.

Architect A. W. Rush, of Gd. Rapids, was in town Saturday to mibmit to the Island Improvement Com, plans of ft pavilllon. The plans have been inspect ed by many of our citizens and seem to give general satisfaction.

City Solicitor Elphinstone, of Alle-gheny county, Pennsylvania, has de-cided that dogs are property, and that a city has no more right to kill them for non-payment of' taxes than it has to burn a building for the same reason; and every man that owns a good dog Will say that Mr Elphinstone is right.

Several of our citizens are putt ing in tar and gravel walks, which when down need some time to set properly. There have been fences built so as to keep the people off, but some vandals; who wan-tonly ruin others property have taken the pains to climb over the fence and walk on tho green tar walk leaving with every step their great footprints. A man who would do such an act is be-neath the contempt of honest people,

GEO. WILLIAM CURTISS, e d i t o r o f Har

He is afilicted with a cancer of the stomach and his case is absolutely hopeless, Tn the past eight years he has been king of th^ mugwumps, and has wielded immense influence in national politics.

T i s A SINGULAR FACT THAT t h e f r e e

trade shouters tell the laborers that free wool would make for them a cheaper clothing while they tell the farmers that it would so increase the consumption of wool tha t it would bring a higher price The arguments of the free trader are singular things. When you get their reasons t'rom different points of view they harmonize as does water and oil.

T H E DETROIT, DEMOCRATS r a t i f i e d

week ago, and from the appearance of things all is not so smooth as might be hoped. Gov. Winans was present by invitation, but Don M., the-sapposed-to-be-demi god, of the democratic party was conspicuous only by his absence. Why is this thus? can it be possible that all is not harmonious in the every tnan-for-himself party? Surely the thing can be accounted for in no other way.

CLEVELAND must oertamly-be the can didate of the anti monopolists. There Is Whitney, the leader and attorney of the Standard Oil Co ; there is Phil Armour, head of the dressed beef onmbine; there is W. R. Grace, representing the money-ed aristocracy of Wall St,; there is Hen-ry Vlllard, the leading spirit in the Northern Pacific; there is Jay Gould, a friend of the "dear people." All these ane Cleveland shouters. All of them will vote for Cleveland because he is the eternal enemy of monopolies.— Banner.

THE DEMOCRATS in congress feel better. I t has been gall and wormwood to them to see the many tin plate factories nuilt that have been erected since the Mc-Kinley bill was enacted. The prospect of having American laborers make and American capital receive the profit from the manufacture of tin plate was too grievous for the American Cobdenites. So the democratic house passed a bill putting tlh on the free list again. But it will not go there, A republican sen-ate stands between democratic mischief makers and a new and great American i n d u s t r y . — B a n n e r .

T H E PICWKEE REPUBLICANS of t h e G .

R. Herald ilk threaten all sorts of dire vengeance if Hon. John T. Rich is nomi-nated. They are prolific in promises of a bolt from the ticket if their man does not secure the plum. The Herald says " The true loyal Republican papers, the ones that have the success of the party first in mind have endeavored to show that John T. Rich is the weakest man that can be nominated," The true loyal Eepublicnn papers is good. I t seems to us that tbo paper that assists in carrying out the wishes of the party and helps to nominate the man the par-ty wants is the true loyal friend instead of one that uses every means in its pow-er to secure the nomination of a man the people don't want , nnd the counts chief among its resources that dirtiest dirty means. The Herald had better come off.

These are not theoretical wages, but the actual daily earnings of employees in the several occupaiions during the time actually employed. They represent just what the employee received, not the rate per day at which he was paid. The dif-ference between American and European wages, it will be notlced.is extraordi-Lary. And it is not wholly due to the larger efficiency of American labor. There is a considerable element which may be legitimately referred to the con-ditions of American industry which are maintained by the protective tariff.

Mr Boatner's ignorance of the wages paid in the steel industry is refreshing. He Is one of the democrats who want free trade in this country, and yet he does not know the facts about one of the most important industries we have. That Is characteristic with free traders. They are chock full of theories, but the facts are not in them. Ic is to be hoped Mr Boatner will profit by his lesson. — Detroit Tribune.

LANSING, Mich., July 14 . -The vandals who have been at work disfiguring the state capitol have rested temporarily from their labors and it is possible that theory of indignation heard around the state,will deter them from continuing it. The idiotic act has been accomplished under the directions of the state board of auditors. Tho water table stones up-on the front scoured with some prep-aration that gives it much lighter shade

The roof was torn to variegated appearance is given that it detracts from the pleasing architectural effect, and the evidence of idiocy is so conanlcuou^as to arouse the Indignation of all citizens. The act is denounced here regardless of political affiliations.

Col. E. E. Myers, architect of the capi-tol, is very indignant over the matter .

I t is an outrage and a shame," he said. "If the building was somewhatsoiled by time there is a process by which it could have been cleaned down, and which would in no "vise injure the material. But the painting of the brick evidently has been done to create employment. The state-officials would far better cre-ate a state sapuarium for tho imbecile mind who contemplated doing so great an injury to a structure that costs the state $1,500,000."

PLACE.—Jerusalem, In the court of the tem-ple.

LESSON I IKLPS.

1. "Now Peter and John:" These were old friends aud partners in fishing on tho sea of Galilee (Luke 5:10), and now were partners in fishing for men. "Went up:" Were going up. "Into the temple:" Because they were true Jews as well as Christians, and they could gain the most help and do the most good by continuing their usual methods of worship. "At—for:" So as to be there a t "the hour of prayer." The hours of Incense and of sacrifice were hours of prayer. "Being tho ninth hour:" Or about three o'clock in tho afternoon.

2. "A certain man lame from hia mother's womb:" And he was now over forty years of age. "Was carried:" At the time tho apostles were entering the temple courts. "Whom thoy" some kind friends willing to help him, ' laid daily at the gate (door) of the temple which is called Beautiful:" This door did not belong to the temple proper, but to one of the courts. "To ask alms:" The giving of alms was a sacred duty Insisted on strenuously iu the law, and in connection with the religious offer-ings at the temple.

3. "Who seeing Peter, etc:" There is no evidence that he was acquainted with them or know who they were. "Asked an alms:" As of any stranger.

4. "And Peter, fastening his eyes upon Him:" The word fastening is a strong one and implies a searching gaze as if to discover the sincerity of the man's character and the nature of his need. "Look on us:" To fix his attention.

5. "And he gave heed:" Their earnest gaze showed that there was an unusual interest in his case instead of the care-less gift usually bestowed. "Expecting to receive something." Doubtless he knew them well by sight, having often seen them passing into the temple.

6. "Then:" But "Peter said: Silver and gold have I none:" He had none with him. If he had property it was far off on the sea of Galilee. "But such as I have," i. e., power from Christ to heal. "Give I thee:" When God ap-pears to refuse the objects which we de-sire, He gives us others that are better. "In the name (expressing the whole nature and power) of Jesus Christ:" As tho efficient cause, as the real living giver. "Of Nazareth:" This is added to make perfectly clear to whom he re-ferred. "Rise up and walk:" The Rev. Ver., as in the best MSS., has simply walk.

7. "And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up:" Not so much to strengthen his limbs as his faith. "And immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength:" Commenta-tors remark on the accuracy and exact-ness of the description.

8. "And he, leaping up, stood: Notice the faith of the umu—weak aud helpless as he was, he immediately obeyed the apostle's commands. "En-tered with them into the temple:" i. e., into tho court of women, upon which the Beautiful gate opened. "Praising God:" His first thought was to return thanks to God for his great deliverance.

9. "All the people:" A great multi-tude. "Saw him." There was abundance of testimony to the reality of the cure.

10. "And they knew:" The material point here is the unquestioned identity of him who had experienced the cure.

11. "The lame man . . . held Peter and John:" He clung to them in affection and gratitude as the source of all the-good t h a t had come to him; and to point them out to all as his benefactors, and the source whence others might receive help, l ie had chosen their Saviour, and took his stand on their side. "In the porch tha t is called Solomon's." This porch or cloister was on the eastern side of the court of the Gentiles.

12. "When Peter saw it:" i e., the crowds rushing into Solomon's porch, and their wonder, as may be inferred from his opening words. "Why marvel ye a t this:" (man)? When you under-stand, you will see that such a cure is just wha t you ought to expect from such a Saviour. "As though by our own power:" That would have been marvel-ous indeed.

18. "The God of Abraham, etc.:" Thus Peter shows thtfm that he pre-sented no new religion, no new power, but only the workings of the same God who had done wonders for their an-cestors. "Bath glorified His Son (serv-ant) Jesus:" By working miracles through llim. "W'bpm ye:" as a na-tion of whose spirit the people were partakers, "delivered up," when even 1'ilate, the Roman, would have let Him g knowing Him to be innocent

'4. "But ye denied tho Holy One:" A vivid picture of thoir guilt. "And de-sired a murderer:" Barabbas, a per-fect contrast to Jesus.

15. "And killed the Prince of Life:" The one who bestows life, is the source and fountain of life, both temporal and spiritual. "Whom God (exactly con-trary to you) hath raised from the dead:" So that He is now living in Heaven, a personal Saviour.

10. "And His name:" The name stands for all the person is and has, his character and his possessions. "Through faith:" Both on the par t of the apostles and of the man. "Whom ye see and know:" So that there can be no mis-take as to the cure of the man.

PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS. 1. The highest experiences bind us

closer to our fellow-men. They lead us to social worship and prayer; they fit us to perform the common daily duties in a better manner.

2. Opportunities for doing good He often in our way, if we look for them.

3. Those who have no money are not debarred from doing good.

4. Each one must give what he has himself received from God.

5. We can impart to others only such things as we have and are. Hence arises a new motive for being good our-selves.

While thoy were at supper in tho tav-•eru dining room a soldier came up to •tho table, salntod. laid a paper before the -Confederate, then wheeled and walked o u t . Captain Wine glanced the paper •over, then Haul as he handed it to Forbes:

" I think t i n t will interest you, cap-tain."

II was a telegram dated at Richmond Ahat afternoon. It read:

".Scnil on to Rit 'imond by llrst nvnilablo (rain "<he Federal nlJict n ["orboa aud Bowou now iu year churpo. 1 (ibey will glvo paroles to report to me, uo jcuaru will be needed. 'WINDER.

"Is that your writing?" " I t is," replied tho amazed Bowen a"

ho glanced over the statement ho had written out at Danville.

"And it is true?' "True as a square." "Well, copies have been sent through

to Washington. With the manner of your capture we have nothing to do at this time. Wo have no charges against Captain Campbell" . (

"Nor any record of him as a captain?" interrupted Bowen.

"Yes, sir, we have, and his sister has now in her possession his commission bearing date one year ago. But apart from your dislike for this unfortunate man, you aro ready to swear that he was not in Kentucky on the sixteenth day of fast September?"

" I am not ready to swear to anything that will help him, but if I had to testify it would bo to that effect," replied Bowen.

" I t may bo that w will give you the option of going nortii lo testify to that effect or remaining hero a prisoner. What then?"

"Then, General Tender, I would go | north to testify, for I cannot imagine » 'U.tluDk l e a n congratulate yon," said ^ o mntm

of which they did not avail themselves. Major Moses, who had been as good

as his word, must have known whore tho prieoners were, for ho called that evening and informed the captain that he understood arrangements had been made for his special exchange on the morrow. This good news was confirmed by Miss Campbell, who appeared at the hotel about dark with a look of triumph on her pale face.

Lieutenant Bowen was far too gallant to show to the sister his dislike for the brother, and then the prospect of ex-change banished for the time all mem-ory of Edward Campbell's unsoldierly trick, so that ho was not only gracious in his manner, but positively happy.

Immediately after breakfast the next morning Captain Lamar came to the Spottiswood House with a carriage, and iu this Miss Campbell and the two offi-cers accompanied him to the flag of truce boat. Hero thoy met General Winder, but the old man's face no longer scowled, and the harshness had left his manner. Ho did not take much notice of the prisoners, but he addressed him-self very gallantly to the young lady.

"Sister, what is your name?' 1 asked. "Saddio Ferguson," was the response. "Where do you live?' "Back thar whar the smoke's risin.''

On one side of Mr. Ballard's relic are two clasped hands, probably symbolic of brotherly love, while around the

In the center of the coin is the all-seeing ej'e, aud below tha t a beehive, while around tho margin are these words, "Holiness to the Lord." Mr. Ballard has had some trouble in keeping his coin. Once he accidentally lost the keepsake, bnt was lucky enough to find it again. Another time a thief got Into his house and took all thc money from his pocket-book except this odd-looking coin, which, at a glance, resembles a trunk check. This was more than twenty years ago. Mr. BaUard then attached It to his morocco fob chain, which is anchored to an old-fashioned silver watch the movement of which is also dated 1849.

A very complete aud splendid exhibit of citrons and other fruits will be sent from California, Florida, Mexico and South American countries. By means of refrigerators ripe frui t can be sent long distances without injury, and af ter reaching the fair cold storage facilities will be avail-able to keep i t in perfect condition.

The exhibit in the Important line of floriculture will be exceptionally exten-sive, and the preparation of i t is far ad-vanced. Unless this were the case the exhibit could not well be a success, for time is required for the plants to over-come the check received in being trans-p/an ted. More than 500,000 trans-planted shrubs and plants, of many spe-cies, are now growing in the exposition grounds, and the number is rapidly in-creasing. The department sent out cir-culars to prominent horticulturists and horticultural societies in all par ts of tho world, requesting donations of plants, and agreeing to permit the name and address of the dqjaors to appear in con-nection with such specimens as they might send. The result is tha t thou-sands of plants—excellent specimens, too—have been forwarded. Among thein are more than 50,000 rare rose plants, which have been donated by firms all the way from. California to Hungary.

The floricnltural exhibit will not be concentrated in one place. In the front curtains of the building will appear the greenhouse and hothouse plants—a very large variety and many rare and beautiful spec!mens. There, too, will be the finest display of orchids ever seen in this country, if not in the world. One firm alone will spend $40,000 on its orchid exhibit. At the opening of the fair. Chief Samuels says there will be a display of *2,003 different varieties of orchids, embracing fully 15.000 speci-mens. Beneath the great dome will be the largest troplcalplants obtainable, in-cluding Japanese and Chine->e bamboos 75 to 80 feet high, palms 80 to 40 feet high, and tree ferns 15 feet or more iu he igh t There will also be a miniature mountain covered with tropical plants, and In a cave within will be tried tho experiments of growing plants by elec-tric light and of growing them by the aid of electric currents, passed through the soil, both of which, i t is claimed, have been accomplished with remarka-ble results.

The Boston Transcript 's "Listener" tell a story of a pious little girl who had been taught to keep the Sabbath strictly, and went down with her parents to spend the summer a t a house which overlooked a broad stretch of sal t water. The very first Sunday af ter the arrival there the family were setting out for Sunday school when it was dis-covered that dear little Mary was not present Her older sister went back af te r her and found her seated by the window which looked out on the water. Her countenance was very solemn. "Mary," said the sister, "why don't you come along to Sunday school?" "I 'm not, going to Sunday school to-day," said l i t t le Mary. "Why n o t please?" " 'Cause I'm going to sit here and see those wicked people in tha t sailboat ou t there t ip over aud get drowned."

ifornla lions t h a t when the country was largely devoted to sheep raising, made mighty depredations upon the flocks and caused the owners much an-noyance nnd loss. When pursued tho animals would seek refuge In this den and no hunter would dare to enter i t Thc ground about the entrance was covered with the bones and remnants of sheep nnd other animals. With the increase of population the lions have gradually disappeared, although as late as last spring two of the animals were seen to enter the cave. Orovillc Mer-cury says no known man has ever pen-etrated this cave to Its fullest depth. The mouth Is about four or five feet high and three feet wide and thc open-ing descends with a sharp decline for about two hundred f ee t Further than this it has never been explored. Now, however, a party of young men have made arrangements to explore It, and. if possible, penetrate to its bottom. T h a t it is of great depth is certain, for one can stand at the opening und heave great stones down thc declivity and the sound will gradually die awaj - in the distance. The young men have pro-cured several hundred feet of ropes, torches and ladders and wi ILthoroughly explore the cavern.

What adds a peculiar interest to the expedition and gives zest to tho exploit-ers is the well-known fact that in the heydey of his cafeer as a bandit Joaquin Murietta and his band of faithful fol-lowers made the recesses of Table mountain the base of their operations in this section. From there they would swoop down on the miners, und then, laden with cold d u s t retreat to the mountains. Search as they might, the officers could not locate them. It has been supposed by many this same cave was where the famous outlaw secreted himstdf. I t may bo, too, that deep down in tho bowels of the earth Joa-quin hid the greater portion of bin ill-gotten. but nevertholeiis just as potent, wealth.

COYOTES IN CALIFORNIA.

H o w it S t r a n f f o T a v r i y A r m y Secnre. nrcnltfunt lu tho Denorl.

In the dim light of the esirly mornin? in certain par ts of the Hmaboldt. Per-unogat, Mason and other valloyt tuny bo seen a queer tawny aruly mar-shaled in some places by dozens i.nd i:i others by scores. The army is lulled together by a reveille, and soon there-of ter tl;o strange muBui, which broul:--the stillness (if the desert, swells into a chorus, participated in by all thc members of the tawny troop. It is the gathering of the coyotes, und they are o u t their appetites sharpened by the crisp air, to gain their regular break-fast of jerked jack-rabbit mea t There is a sniffing among the sago and groasewood by tho avunt-couriers of the sharp-toothed brigade. Meantime nil the others have been deployed in s u i i a manner that when a fleet-foot-ed jack bus been raised from his lair he Is passed on and on. The coyotes usually arrange themselves in tho form of a long ellipse. Thus the jack, how-ever large and strong ho may 1)0. and whether fleet as the wird. Is sure to at last weary himsel/. He can-not got out, for a wily coyote a t every turn checks him and keeps him in the ellipse and In the lead of his pur-suer. When thc coyote in pursuit tires, another, fresh as tho airof the morning, takes up the chase. Thus an untiring Nemesis is always after him, nnd in due time the tired, panting rabbit falls a prey to the yellow troop. At the death they all rush in. their j aws working like fast-flying shear blades. The rabbit Is cut In pieces, snapped up and eaten, and then another weird reveille is sounded, another jack is started up, and thus they go for two or three hours some-times. until the hunger of all Is ap-peased.

This hunt ing In troops, as Is pointed out by Col. Joseph Grandelmyer, the sagebrush pioneer, enables each of the brigade of coyotes to get a good meal. I f but one of the coyotes were to s tar t af ter tho rapid-flying jack be would be-come quickly winded without affecting the jack whatever, but with relays of coyotes, nnd one always to take up the chase when the other Is tired, victory soon pereheson their banner. Grandel-myer insists that the coyote army Ls most scientifically generaled. The commander In chief, a veteran of the chase, usually sits on somo slight emi-nence. his lieutenants and aids being in full view to repeat his orders.

"Never was there a better drilled army than this of the coyotes," said he to a San Francisco Examiner man. "What they don't know about maneu-vering, ambuscades and the tactics of the field generally It will take a long lime to find o u t 1 have studied them much. It Is one of the most interesting sights of tho desert to see the marshal-ing of the coyotes a t the sounding of the weird reveille and watch their cap-ture of the rabbits."

In tho "Rorainisceiues of n C" 'tie-woman of the Lust Century" i-. pa-theti • account of this poor lady's s-ilVer-ing for a breath of air without ha; poll-ing to think of the only relief Within her power. She hud gone to n small town to spend the night, and, as the ho-tel was full of soldiery, was ^fiven a room in a private hous-.\ She writes:

The house was conviosod of wood and plaster, the rooms v.vre low. Die stair-case was in tho cent cr oT the building, and equally closed to light and air. On entering my bedroom, 1 found I could not breathe, and desired that the win-dows might be opened.

Mr. D , a bookseller, who occupied thc house, entered, and pretended to at-tempt what he could not perform, and then owned that the windows had not been opened since they were pr inted

I begged that a joiner tai:iit be sent for, and when this man came he de-clared tha t he could pull tho windows to pieces, but could not open t '.y.'m. I now submitted to my fate, and leaving my door open, prepared ) r.'ocp in a room which no fresh air '.'ad entered within the memory of man.

I dozed till twelve o ' e l o c w h e n I woke in an agony, and summ ^ned the moid and the people of the house. Mr. D endeavored to soothe me. He told me that 1 was safe, but I declared that I should die. He offered me water, and I told him that I must have air. I begged to have my bed laid on the poi'-lor floor, with the windows open. No; the parlor windows would not open. I or.'.-r-U'd tV.r.t I mi^I:t bor'^vr-cd to rit in the l i tchen, with the kitchen win-dows open. No; the kitchen was t-v ward the s t r ee t and he dared not take down the shutters, f grew desperate.

"Sir," I said, "nothing could have in-duced me to disturb your fumily if I could have existed without doing so. Be so good us to leave the room."

He obeyed, anil with my habit over my nightgown, my bonnet over ray nightcap, and my bundle iu my hand. I marched downstairs and through the streets to the Inn. where 1 opened a window In thc parlor, and sat by it in peace and thankfulness.

And then it occurred to mo tha t 1 might have broken a pane of glass, and put my nose through the aperture!

The following advertisement lately appeared in an English newspaper, says the Financial World:

•'Direciortt wanted of good soclul standing for a new company now in courae of formaiion: (lualiflcatfon will bo found for selected appli-cants, and remuneration will be on a liberal scalc."

To this there were one hundred and forty-one replies received: One earl, one viscount, four barons, seven baro-nets, ono k n i g h t thirteen bonorablos. six members of parl iament four gen-erals, one admiral, nine colonels, four majors, fourteen army captains, three minor naval ofiicers and seventy-three without rank or title. There were somo very amusing letters accompany-ing the applications. The earl said: " l need not point ont t h a t should you en-tertain my proposal, an Important lev-erage in procuring a good subscription of public capital will be gained by my title, which is an old one. and likely to prove an attraction to investors. 1 may also state tha t If appointed 1 should al-ways make it a point ol driving to the general meetings in my brougham and pair, with servants in full livery. This, 1 have been told by friemLs si t t ing on company boards, is a great factor iu inspiring shareholders with confidence."

One of the barons wanted to know "if the fees were paid in advance, irre-spective of any profits made by the com-pany." One of the members of parlia-ment wrote that he had no doubt that, if he were appointed, i t would result in heavy purchases of shares in his con-stituency, where he was very popular.

Aud," he added, " i t would be well if the bona fides of your scheme were as-sured, a t any rate, on tho surface." Tho last part of the sentence would seem to rather give the virtuous legislator away, as he evidently did not care whether the scheme was good or n o t

Warner Snoad, president of the Women's Progressive society.

The future citizens are t augh t by their mothers, and in the whole island not a single illiterate is to be found, every child being able to read, write and cipher by the time It has reached the age of seven. And those voting mothers who educate their own children have produced a nation in which there are no prisons, no police, no thieves, no enormously rich, no mis-erably poor; just a plain, temperate, chaste, educated and intelligent people.

ROME, July 18.—The papal encyclical on the Columbus celebrations that was issued Saturday directs that on October 12 the mass of the Trinity bo celebrated in the Catholic churches of Spain, Italy and America in honor of Columbus. Thc encyclical also invites thc bishops «f other nations to say the same tnrsss. The pope says he cannot <Joubl that Columbus was primarily in-spired by the Catholic faith. The dif-lerence between i.nn aud the illustrious men who before and after him discov-ered unknown lands was that Colum-"hus was animated by the spirit of re-ligion which sustained his genius, forti-fied his copst. / and ^ ded him consolation in his greatest trials.
