Jam93 6. Blaine Is Once More at

Death's Door.

T h e y F o r m a G o r g e In t h e Ohio a t ClnclpnatL

"An excellent remedy" Is wha t Mr W. H. Ames, 712 8. 17th St., St. Louts, Mo., says of it, in these words; " I have used Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup and fouud it to be an excellent remedy for coughs and colds."

It Is Believed That He Will Die With-in a Few Hours—His Doctors

Abandon Hope.

SLOWLY PASSING AWAV.

WASHINGTON, Jan . U.—Mr. Blaine Is nearing death. His life is passing slowly and peacefully away between spells of sleeping, which is another name for a state of coma When the end comes, and it cannot be far off, it will be a gradual falling asleep. It is doubtful, if he ever again rec-ognizes those who surround him, for his waking intervals are only fitful gleams of consciousness. Tho illnesa of three months duration has now reached the point where the physicians issue frequent bulletins and do not leave his bedside for a moment While their statements make comparisons which at certain hours may show an im-proved condition, there is absolutely no hope. I t has been an unequal con-test from the beginning, and only lov-ing care and medical skill have en-abled Mr. Blaine to retain his vitality so long.

Mis Condition Alarming. WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. — The Asso-

ciated PI ess correspondent furnished the following:

"It was about midnight Saturday when Mr. DIalnc's condition becamo so alarming that tho trained nurso who Is constantly at his bedside had Dr. Johnston aroused and hurriedly summoned. Dr. Johnston ar-rived at I o'clock and found Mr. Blaine sinking rapidly, and ho worked over him for some time before signs of any recovery be-came evident. His condition was so alarming that tho family fearfully looked for the end be-fore dawn and remained awake and within Immediate call of his bedside •II night. Tho powerful heart restora-tives applied by tho doctors, which aro •tated to hare been the most potent known to medical science, wore successful In rallying and making more steady the feeble and fitful pulsations of the heart, so th at by the time the church-goors passed the family residues on Lafayette square Mr. Blaine's condition was a shade better.

i'hyslnlans Fear to Leave. "He was still, however, so weak and pros-

trated that the doctors did not dare to leave him, at tho same time fearing that another at-tack and tho final summons might como at any moment At 7 o'clock Dr. Hyatt, tho other physician, was summoned. At 8 o'clock Dr. Johnston left the house and hurried through the Lafayette park on his way to breakfast at his homo, a few blocks away. To a reporter who Intercepted him Dr. Johnston said that Mr. Blaine at that hour was in a really dangerous condition.

"Dr. Johnston returned to Mr. Blaine's resi-dence shortly before 10 o'clock, and soon after-wards Dr. Hyatt left for breakfast. It being the intention of the doctors that unless there •hould be an unexpected display of strength on the part of the sick man one or the other of them should remain with him constantly throughout the day. Dr. Hyatt on his way home said that Mr. Blaine hud rallied some-what since early morning and that his system responded more freely than it had heretofore to the remedies administered. They had revived him to some extent and the action of the heart was better.

Three Sinking 8p«lU. "It Is ascertained that there were three dis-

tinct relapaea during tho night. At 1 a m., when he was first seized with heart failure, his physicians really thought the end had come. But by the aid of stimulants, chafing and the usual accessories ho rallied He soon after, however, relapsed into a stupor. Suddenly at 6 o'clock this morning he opened his eyes, wnich were as clear as they ever were, and see-ing hia physlolan at his side exclaimed: 'Doc-tor, I am glad you have come.'

"The tones of his voice were remarkably clear and strong for a man almost In extremis. Five minutes later ho sank again into a stupor and thirty minutes later still ho had another cttaok of heart failure. Strange to relate, he again rallied, only to be seized the third time three hours later."

A personal friend of Mr. Blaine and one who has access to wha t happens In the sick room said Sunday afternoon:

"Mr. Blaine has not had a connected thought for thirty days past The heart, while nourish-ing other organs, has not been stronf enough to furnish the necessary blood for the brain. Hcnce, it is that, like an anolent pine, Mr. Blaine has been slowly perishing at the top. But Mr. Blaine dies like a phil-osopher at last, distasteful us the subject of death has been to him In other and strong-er days. A few woeks ago ho called his family about him and calmly told them that he did not expect to recover. He was in full pos-session of his mental faculties and went over bis allaira in detail and said to each of bis children all that be bad to say. In the inter-vening period the members of the family have gradually become reconciled to the end which is Impending.

ThA Faithful Wife. "When the history is written of Mr. Blaine's

illness the touching devotion of the wife and mother will bo one of Its interesting chapters. No one except the intimates of the family are able to appreciate her fidelity and watchfulness and courage. Mrs. Blaine has remained at the bedside of bor husband almost unremittingly, watching every indication of change and aiding promptly in every case of emergency. Through all the stages of despondency and grief which Mr. Blaine has passed of late she has been at bis side to cheer and soothe and strengthen him.''

IN ICY CLUTCHES. CINCINNATI, Jan. 9.—The ice gorge in

j the Ohio river broke Sunday afternoon ; and the worst fears of the river men

have been realized. The moderat-ing weather and the great pres-sure of the immense fields of ice

I caused the crash to come earlier than was anticipated. Word comes from

| Delhi that fifty men are in a perilous position on several coal

( barges floating down the river. They passed Delhi, 10 miles be-low Cincinnati, a t 7 o'clock. Fears

' were entertained of a crash between Delhi and North Bend, as the ice in that vicinity was moving slowly and liable

| to gorge a t any time. Collier and Budd, with four barges, were follow-

i ing up right behind. I The gorge that moved past Cincin-

nati extended from Coney island, above j the mouth of the Little Miami, to be-; low Anderson's ferry, a distance of j nearly 18 miles. For 2 miles below this ' the water was clear and open. Then | came another gorge, beginning at the ; mouth of the Great Miami aud extend-

ing below Lawrenceburg. This lower gorge was about 5 miles long. The up-per gorge with I ts doomed coal fleets crashed Into It and tore it out and now both are grinding their way with a ter-rific roar ing far down the Ohio at 5 or 6 miles an hour.

By 9 o'clock p. m. all apparent dan-ger to the steamers at the landing was over. The gorge had passed and the river was comparatively clear. One to who at, the Mattheson, owned by Marmet <fe Co., valued at $10,000, was sunk and destroyed.

Down below the destruction of coal barges and other property, from ac-counts at this hour, has been terrible. The harbor tow boats Comet Ben wood and Alice Barr were going down with the gorge, fully manned and working heroically to break the Ice and save property.

Here Is the nearest approach to an approximation of the destruction of coal fleets: ForW-five loaded • barges, worth $4,000 each, S180,000; six empty barges, worth S2.000" each, 8120,000. Grand total, 6300,000.

Add to this a corrected s tatement of the value of Marmet's towboat Matthe-son, which the owner puts a t $10,000, and we have a grand total of 8310,000. This includes the boats that were car-ried away last Friday. Not one cent of insurance is held on any of this prop-erty.

What SIISIIII Saw. A chambermaid at the Palinor House

yesterday thought she saw snakes, hugs, turtles, scorpions, lizards and all un-

| canny things that creep and crawl and I bite aud sting. 1 In the fleeting moment that elapsed between tho time she saw the vile crawl-ing things and the screams that she let go, string a'.d all. she thought she saw the doow of iieeley's open to receive her,

1 and conscioiis of her own absteinious-ness and antibibulousness she believed

i the curse had come to her from the third i or fourth generation gone.

The door had closed behind her, and ; she was well into the center of the room, 1 near the bed. when a snake glided across | the floor and disappeared under it. Then | a lizard and a big lieetle barred her pas-sage to the door. Next a big turtle, on its back, opened its jaws, us she thought, viciously, and pawed the air in a vain effort to got upon its feet.

What was she doing all this time? Why, she was standing in the middle

of the floor, every muscle paralyzed save the vocal ones, A locomotive tooting for a cow to get off the track was be-hind the distance pole when Susan let loose a yell. Then there was a fall, a squirm, a gurgle an'', all was still, while

I the bugs entangled themselves in Sn-' san's hair and the snakes kissed her cheeks with their forked tongues.

Now was the appointed time for the | rescuer to come, and he came. He picked up the reptiles and the bugs and tho rats, and unwinding them threw them like dead things upon the "bed. The cause of all this trouble was Mr. Dick Trumbull, a traveler for a New York toy house. He had had a customor in his room, and for his benefit had sot the machinery inside tho vanninta go-ing. and it had not run down when ho escorted his visitor down stairs. Then Susan came in.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

A Man of Many Melees. The story that an eminent border

leader and hero, Captain Hatfield, of the West Virginia line, who escaped all the bullets of the McCoys during the Tug Fork tug of war. which deluged some of our Kentucky soil with a very bad article of blood several years ago, had passed in his checks during a poker game in the wilds of West Virginia is indignantly denied by the friends of that gentlemuu. They assert that Captain Hatfield is a reformed man and no longer exposed to the casualties of feuds and poker games. The Williamson (W. Va.) New Era. which makes a small circle of light in the dense darkness of the Hatfield sectioh, refers to the re-ported death of the gallant hero and says:

We can moat emphatically deny the above, and will state that Captain Hat-field has been an invalid for the past six months from the effects of a wound re-ceived when a boy. We understand that he has professed religion, and that no poker games have been played in his house for some time. It is unfair to even such men as he to circulate reports as the above without any founclation.— Louisville Courier-JouruaL

George Meredith's Ron. The marriage of George Meredith's

only son to the granddaughter of Sir George Elliot is an event that touches at once the literary world and the world of society. Mr. William Meredith in-herits much of the intellectual bright-ness and force of his father, but none apparently of his father's literary gifts— at lea^t 1 do not know that he has been guilty of so much as a magazine article or a poem in a penny newspaper.

He has entered the less flowery but more fertile field of science, and is an electrical engineer of good promise and performance. His best man was a gen-tleman, Professor Vernon Boys, F. R.

A New Geographical Fault. A t the annual meeting of the British

Association for the Advancement of Sci-ence, Dr. G. C. Knott gave a report on earthquake phenomena in Japan. Among effects of the recent severe earth-quake were mentioned the depression of a valley by about nineteen feet for a distance of thirty miles—thus forming a great geographical fault—together with the destruction of mills, bridges and towns, and the curving of a railway line running along an embankment and bridge in the path of the earthquake. It is stated incidentally that in many earth-quakes—thbngh not in this one—oil is overturned, and by catching fire c inses more damage than the earthquake itself.

Guests Lout a Marquee. A singular scene, resulting in tho de-

struction by a crowd of 1,000 people of a marquee and the looting of provisions, took place at Ramsey, Huntingdonshire, on Thursday evening. A grand fete had been arranged by Lord de Ramsey to celebrate the return of the Hon. Ailwyn Fellowes, M. P., for North Hunts. A bout 4.000 persons had been invited, in relays of 1.000 at a time, to a tea; which was arranged in a marquee in the grounds.

Tho crowd made an attack upon the provisions, waiters were knocked down aud a clean sweep made of the tables, much of the crockery being destroyed.

Could He Use aTlckct for His Own Corpse? Can a live man travel on a ticket call-

SpendiiiK Money ut Home. Those persons who believe that ex-

travagance, like charity, should begin al home will derive much satisfaction from tho theory advanced by Mr. Henry Clews that the cholera scare may yet be worth a great many millions of dollars to this country, "Asiatic cholera is a disease naturally foreign to our coun-try." said Mr. Clews to the writer, "It is epidemic only in foreign lands. The cholera scare is therefore likely to impel people on this side of the Atlantic to forego their annual foreign traveling and sightseeing and 'do' their own country instead of undertaking the dan-gerous tour of Europe. If Americans can be made to realize that to leave their own country is to incur the danger of getting cholera bacilli into their sys-tems, the aforesaid cholera scare will have served a good purpose and bo a great gain to this country. I do not hesitate to say that the army of Ameri-can travelers abroad each year spends at least ^100.000.000. If this amount can be cut down one-half that sum. which should be done to restrain our national extravagance within the bounds of rea-son, immense advantage would accrue." —New York Times.

j than he. Seldom could he be induced io read or to listen to personal incidents of other great men. It was not that he

The Death Rate In December. Each time we reach the end of Decem-

A subject for serious reflection is it that 35,000,000 of people die every year—few of these from old age. In a doctor's opinion, nearly as many people shorten

O b l t i m r y .

David Rogers Mclit-an, whose death is mourned by so wide a circle of friends, was born in Vurgennes, Michigan, Aug. 22, 1851, of an old and respected Scotch family. He grew to manhood in hU na-tive state and at the age of twenty-two years came to California and resided al Midway, San Joaquim Co.. Lompou, Santa Barbara Co., and figally at Pasa dena, whence he passed Nov. 22J, 1802, peacefully to that better land, and, we trust to the reward duo a just, resolute and true soul. For the past nine years he was a prominent citizen of Pasndnna and was twice marshal of the city—once by appointment and once by election. Faithful, kindly and reliable in ihe dis-charge of his duties, always an enter-prising, energetic citizen. He had de-cided ideis as to man's duty to society, and had the courage of his convli tions A man respected by all, wherever he lived and beloved by many friends, in his death thit< community suf-fers a serious loss. He leaves a wife and two children—a daughter and a son. to mourn a worthy husband and fath-er. Iu his long and painful illness, he had the constaut and loving care of his devoted wife and unremitting attention of the Masonic fratenmy—of which he was a member, together with the sym-pathy of a boat of friends. His brother, A. McLean, arrived In time to be with him at the last, and surrounded by lov-ing hearts he passed away, a happy soul gone to rest, at peace with all the world. His confidence in the hereafter was per-fect. The last sad rites were held Nov. 24. under the auspices of the Maumic or-der of which the deceased was an honor-ed member. Rev. J . W. Phelps, of the M E. church, conducted the funeral services at. the house —Pasadena (Cal.) Evening Star.

David's many relatives and friends here, received the sad intelligence of bis death with sincere regret and belief that in every way he merited the love and confidence of the people with whom he lived. His mem iry will be tenderly cherished in the hearts of all who knew him here.

Tery valuable cow last week and qpent several days looking for her without finding any trace of her whereabouts, and. had about conclnded that she had been stolen when one of his children discovered the animal not over 'fifty .yards from the honse. She had wandered into a hollow cedar log, presumably to :get into the shade, and in pushing her way for fifty feet into the log she passed through a place where it had splintered •in falling, with the splinters headed in 'the direction she was going.

Of course when she attempted to back •out her exit was effectually blocked, the •splinters having sprung back. And there :Bhe was, as securely confined as any pris-oner in the penitentiary. When discov-ered there she had been imprisoned for five days.

Mr. Glancey had to cut the log in f ront of her before she coidd be taken out, nothing the worse for her experi-ence except for her enforced fast. The cow weighs about 1,500 pounds, so the size of the cedar timber in that -"neck of the woods" can be imaginM.—Elmira (N. Y.) Chronicle.

Extraordinary Accident to a I>lver. A diver named Jones, residing in Car-

diff, was engaged yesterday in attempt-ing to raise the steamship Aoorington, which . was beached at Penarth some time since af ter being in collision. She had several holes in her side, which had been plugged while the vessel was pumped ou t Jones accidentally pushed in one of these plugs with his right band, and the suction of the water be-came so great that his arm was drawn into the hole to the shoulder, and be could not withdraw i t

A message was telegraphed to Cardiff docks for another diver. Nearly two hours elapsed before he reached Penarth with his diving apparatus, and in this t ime Jones had become so exhausted that he was found hanging by the ree-sel's side on his arm. When rescued, which took some time, he waa so ex-hausted that he had to be lifted on board the steamer.—St. James Gazette.

A New Overcoat for Fall Dress. A new overcoat for full dress is vouch-

eafed by the swell Londoners. I t is a most diplomatic innovation, and seems to belong to another regime of manners, when men of fashion met on Fleet street and courtesied elaborately and strode magnificently through the minnet. In these days of skirt dancing and serpen-tine high kicking and ta-ra-ra boom anch a vogue seems untimely.

But i t is really a most engaging type to contemplate, consisting as it does of one single cape of black material. I t hangs in military grandeur so far down as to cover the coat tails. The especial feature is a very high velvet standing collar that comes tight together in front, and is held in place by an oxidized silver clasp.—Clothier and Furnisher.

Petrlfled Watermelons. A valuable specimen of petrified vege-

j tation may be seen iu this city. I t con-• siste of pieces of rock which have the \ e x a c t shape and appearance of water-

melons. There are two of the speci-mens, the larger one being about sixteen inches long and eight inches in diameter. The small one is about nine inches long. The end of the larger specimen is broken off, which appears to plainly show the rind, the seeds and the red core. There are also specimens of what appear to l)e petrified pine cones. They were brought to Auburn by Jacob Roll of Rocklin,und were found between Rockiin and Rose-ville.—Placer (Colo.) Republican.

The World Has Progressed. One of the earliest telescopic discov-

stated the constitutional objections which, in his opinion, precluded the possibility of its passage by the senate and denounced it as a flagrant advancc to centraliza-tion and as involving the characteris-tics of the most odious favoritism. A bill providing that no person shall bo excused from testifying in criminal cases on the ground that his testimony might tend to criminate 'himself was passed.

WASH 1 NOTOJJ. J a n . ? . — T h e s e s s i o n of the senate yesterday was given up ex-clusively to the diaenssion of the bill on the subject of quarant ine regula-tions and its co-relative measure, the 'bill to suspend immigration for one year. •Senator Chandler, the author of the bill, opened t h e debate. He criticised the -Gridiron club, made up of a number -of lead-ing Washington correspondents; criticised the steamship compa-nies for t ry ing to exert improper influ-ences on the PICKS and on congress; criticised cabinet officials for subserv-iency to the steamship companies'influ-ence. and flnally criticised his senator-ial associates. He closed by saying that the only radical, thorough and complete preparation t h a t the United States can make to keep out cholera is to break up practically the carriage of steerage passengers and to keep out alien immigration during the year 1893.

Senator Mills (Tex.) said the bill was "not intended to prevent the spread of the cholera, but to prevent the spread of the democratic party One of the flrat things the foreigner does is to vote the democratic ticket. T h a t is the secret of all this agitation.1 '

After fu r ther argument the bill was modified in some particulars and or-dered printed.

WASHINGTON. Jan, 8.—The two days assigned for the considerittiou of the bills as to quarantine and ;<aiio suspend-ing immigration proved to be too short a time for the disposal of even tho first of these measures. A vote might have been reached on the quarantine bill Saturday had not Senator White (La.) avowed his pur-pose to prevent it; nor would he give his consent to have the final vote taken to-day. inasmuch as he had learned that several gentlemen from New Or-leans were now on their way to Wash-ington to present their views in oppo-sition to the measure.

HOUSE. WASHINGTO.V. J a n . 5 . — I n t h e h o u s e

yesterday a resolution was introduced to stop the purchase of silver bullion. The private pension bill was discussed, and a bill was introduced providing tha t the term of all persons appointed to offices under the United States shall be for four years, whether under civil service or otherwise, and no perapn is to be eligible to hold office for more than eight years.

WASHINOTOIC. Jan. 6.-—By unanimous consent the honse proceeded yesterday in committee of the whole to the con-sideration of the fortification appro-priation bill. There was no general debate. The bill was passed without a m e n d m e n t ' I t appropriates 8785.055. The consideration of private pension bills was resumed and a few of the measures were passed without opposi-tion.

WABHINQTOH, Jan. 7.—The attend-ance was small in the house yesterday and private business ruled, except the passing of the bill providing for the muster and pay of certain officers and men of volunteer forces. About thirty pension bills were passed.

Tellt-.ilo Pork Chops. Quite a novelty in the annals of jus-

tice has been the conviction of a mur-derer by tho tacit but effective testimony of the remains of a couple of pork chops which, gnawed to the I k i i i c , had been left dii the table in the dining room < f the unfortunate lady whom he had just done to death.

At the end of last year Mine. Leblau, the widow of a doctdr in practice in Tilly-sur-Meuse, suddenly disappeared. She lived quite alone, and her absence was not noticed by the neighbors for some days. Tho door of the house was broken open, and all the rooms were found in a state of the utmost disorder, the floor of the kitchen being covered with blood.

The plate and various other articles of value had, however, not been touched, though several bank notes—a list of which was afterward discovered in a drawer—had been removed from the desk in which the money was kept. It was soon aacertained that two of these securities were in the possession of a peasant named Aubertin, who resided in tho neighborhood, and was known to be deeply iu debt. When Aubertin was arrested he denied that he had any hand in the crime, but it shortly transpired that on the very day when the murder was committed he had bought a couple of pork chops from a local dealer, and there on the dining room table lay the telltale debris.—Paris Cor. London Tele-graph.

A Tree That Produces Rain. The people of Stillwater are greatly

mystified over a remarkable natural phenomenon which exists near that town. In the field of Robert Copper, south of that place, stands a large Cot-tonwood tree, with its branches leaning out over the bed of a little creek. A few weeks ago a party of picnickers stopped under the tree aud were star-tled by fiuding that there was a contin-ual shower of water falling from its leaves and branches. It is in the shape of a fine mist or drizzle, but can be plainly felt aud seen at all times. Al-though it had not rained in that part of the territory for weeks, the fall of water from that tree has kept up continually, and crowds of people (Some from a dis-tance every uay to view the wonderful curiosity.

Those scientifically inclined speculate, theorize and give it up; the supersti-tious ones shake their heads ominously, but the tree keeps right ou sending down ita shower, and whenever the sun ia shining a beautiful rainbow can 1)0 seen under its branches. — Oklahoma Cor. Kansas City Journal.

The Lady and the Elephant. The London courts will be called upon

soon to decide one of the most curious cases that ever puzzled legal brains. A lady was seated a few weeks ago in the Zoological garden, and for security's sake removed from her pocket to her lap a purse containing six sovereigns. The show elephant shortly afterward came on its round, and, mistaking the brown purse for a bun, gracefully traus-ferred it to its trunk and thence into its stomach. The management of the gar-dens were a t once appealed to and emet-ics were applied, but no more than two of the sovereigns and munched bits of the purse were recovered. The solicitors for the lady are now, therefore, suing the Zoological society for the missing four sovereigns, and, seeing that the so-ciety possesses the elephant and the ele-phant possesses the sovereigns, the plain-tiff claims to have a clear case.—London Chronicle.

Excusable Intoxication. Persons who have the misfortune to be-

come intoxicated in a casual way in-stead of in the orthodox fashion some-times put themselves to much trouble to discover reasons for their illness. Some-times i t is indigestion, sometimes smoke, sometimes excltemcnt that is adjudged responsible, but Ellen Baker, who was in the dock at the Thames police court on a charge of Inebriety, has found out a new and hitherto quite unsuspected ex-citing cause.

She had just returned, she explained, from a month's "hopping" in Kent, and "the jolting of the train had made her drunk." Any human being, particularly a woman, deserved commiseration in such circumstances, aud it is not sur-prising, therefore, that Mr. Rose, the magistrate, allowed the defendant to be discharged.-London Telegraph.

A Wild Deer's Free Railroad Trip. The trainmen on a freight train on the

Central Vermont railroad discovered a deer caught in a wire fence near Pitts-ford. The men succeeded in capturing the animal uninjured and brought it to Rutland. Hundreds of persons g<it hered in the railroad yard to see the animal.

As the law makes it illegal to kill deer in this stale, an officer of the Deer Pro-tective society, who got the particulars from the captors, paid them liberally for their trouble, had them take back the deer on the return of the same train aud set it again a t liberty.—Cor. Boston Herald.

"Well! well!" cried t' e doctor, who, by the wcy, ^ as r.s kind .".nd generous an old soul as ever lived, "don't get ex-cited, Green. It is not so bad as that. Didn't I say she would gel along all right, only i t would take a long time to bring her through?"

"Yes, yes, but you said she must have good care and attention, and I have no way of procuring them for her. How can I get them, doctor, when I haven't a dollar in the world?''

For a little while the old physician remained silent. This state of affairs was nothing new to him, for he met with similar cases almost every day now in his practice, but he was not inured to it, and each new case ap-pealed to his sympathy and touched his heart.

"Yon can get some means from your friends to tide you over this spell, can't you?" the doctor asked. "From your relatives or hers?"

"No, it is useless to think of that, doctor," John replied as he slowly and sadly shook his head. "We have no friends to call on for aid, and both my parents and hers have cut us adrift and left us to stem the tide alone. Her father is rich, but he denounced artd disowned her when she and 1 married, and from that day to this he has not spoken to her. She is dead to him."

"Hut surely. Green," the old doctor urged, "in a case like this he would not maintain such unnatural and unfather-ly feelings, lie cannot be so hard and inhuman as to let her suffer when he has it in his power to prevent it. Why, think of it. man, tha t would be simply terrible. It would IK; heathenish. It would be worse than brutal, and surely no Christian man would be so hard as that ."

"I fear it would do no good to appeal to him," John replied. "I don't know what to do, doctor. I'm sure. My poor wife must have attention, but 1 am not able to even so much as pay you for your attendance."

"Never mind about me. Green," the old doctor replied. "Don't worry about my pay. I'll attend her and do what-ever is in my power to benefit her, and you can pay me whea you are able. There won't be any trouble on that score."

John wept like a child a t these words. I t was the first time he had heard such

"Green," he said, "your wife's father ' ought to know about this sickness, and if you don't object I'll write to him. It can't do any harm, and it might result In some good. What do you say?"

John was, of course, compelled to give up the Idea of going east In quest of employment. He conld not thick of leaving his wife. He waited day after day and week after week, hoping against hope /or a happy turn of affairs. The doctor had written his letter to Blatchford, but no reply came, and a f t e r a month of waiting all hope of any was abandoned.

Mary continued in a precarious condi-tion, and all through tho long days her life hung in a balance. The good old doctor was fai thful in his ministrations, but tho dread malaria had gained so firm a hold ou its victim that it was difficult to make an impression on it. John and Louise shared the duties of nurse, and often through the sad, sol-emn nights John sat out tho hours by the side of his sick wife, nnd In the solitude and loneliness his thoughts ran back over the events and scenes of his life. Often in her delirious hours the mind of poor Mary wandered, and In a weak, frai l voice, she talked of her youth, of her old homo in the east and of her father. Again nnd again she imagined herself achild and thought her mother came and bent over her and soothed her with loving words and caresses, just as she had so often done in the long ago. Again she would remember her father as she knew him

could surely more, a t l eas t you do it under tho circumstances?"

Scraggs mado no reply fur ther than to shako hia head slowly in the nega-tive. "Scraggs," said John, " i t is a mat ter of life nnd death. I must have money or my wife will die, and you must let mo have It. You must, do yon hear? I can't ge t i t anywhere else, and yen must let me have i t

When the king went to his carriage the little dog walked in front of him, "as proud as Bunch,' with his tail erect, ami scrambled first into the carriage l)efore any one conld say mm nay. Arrived at the palace he darted in first, and insisted on remaining with the king.

bo spared to tho sick woman. But now the time had come when the larder must be replenished in some way. John pondered tlie matter over long, and at last he hit upon a plan. He had his wagon and team and few farm imple-ments left. He would make an effort to dispose of them. He was loth to take this step, for with the .-ale of the things he parted with all chance of raising a crop the coming year.

" Y e t it must be done." he mused. "They must go, if there is anyone to buy them."

So he made an effort to raise some means t h a t way, but day af te r day he sought for a purchaser in vain. There was nobody to buy them, for few of the settlers were much better off than he, and many another would gladly have exchanged his possessions for provisions or the means of securing them. Find-ing i t impossible to get a purchaser for his things a t any price, John began to seek out another plan, and at last hit upon one.

j Scraggs still lived, and as a last re-; sort he decided to go once more to him. ' Perhaps under the circumstances 1 Scraggs would be so good as to increase ! the loan on the farm, or at least aooom-

For several days the fish,-which is estimated to be fifteen feet in length and to weigh 800 pounds has destroyed great numbers of perch buffalo and channel cat caught on trol-line books. Wednesday morning the shark nipped a twenty pound perch which bad been caught on cne of tne hooka of a trotline opposite the city, and destroyed one-half of the fish at the first bite. Returning for the remainder, it swallowed the hook, and when an at-tempt was made by a' fisherman to run the line the shark splashed the water similar to the way a young whale wonld.

Another passenger was Dr. Joyce, a missionary, who had spent the greater part of his life In India and IraiiKiated the Bible, or part of I t Into twenty languages. He was a dear, good old man, nnd offered to tcach tho young ladies Hindustani and Arable, the one because It would be the everyday lan-guage of their lives, the other because It was the language of poetry and the French of the eas t The offer was gratefully accepted, and I asked and obtained permission to join In the les-sons, partly pour passer Ic temps, part-ly because I liked the company.

Then one of the mafes played tho fid-dle, and one of the passengers the clarionet; on dark nights we had the-atricals below, nnd, when It was moon-l igh t dances on deck: nnd so, despite the fact thai I was voyaging against my will, the days passed not unpleas-antly All the same II was a slow voy-age. We had light baffiing winds and frequent calms, a n d at our second crossing of the equator the Mcrcia had been a t sea nearly Ave months. Bets were laid that she would not reach Cal-cut ta before September

We were now in latitudes where the French flag was seldom If ever seen, and ('apt. Cox no longer steered clear of every passing sail. One day, a ship being sighted which had an English look about her, he ordered the Mercla's course lo be altered a point so as to cross her bows, and as they neared each other the vessels exchanged signals. The stranger proved to be the Strath-clyde. homeward bound from Calcutta. On this Cox decided to send a boat lo her with the letters which some of the passengers had been industriously writing ever since they left England. I t was an opportunity not to be lost I went with the letters, after quite a pulbetlc parting with the many friends whom I had made on the Mercla.

NERVOUS PROSTRATION.

A large manufacturer, whose affairs were very much embarrassed, and who was overworked and broken down with nervous exhaustion, went to a celebrated Bpeoiabst. He was told that the only thing needed was to be relieved of care and worry, and have a change of thought. This doctor was more con aiderate of his patient's health than of his financial oircumstances. He ought to have advised him to use Dr Miles' Restoiative Nervine, the best remedy for nervous prostration, sleeplessness, dizzi-ness, headache, ill effects of spirits, to-bacco, coffee, opium, etc. Thousands testify to cures.

and passengers, and as I went over the side the crew gave me a parting cheer.

The master of the Strathclydo mado no difficulty about giving me a passage to the Thames, and af ter a prosperous voyage of four months landed me a t Gravesend, whence I traveled by coach to London.

I was glad to find t h a t though my mother had been painfully anxious about me, neither she nor my father had despaired of my return. They'knew tha t a sailor has as many lives as a c a t and had moreover great confidence in my luck and In my ability to take care of myself.

The people of th.? Admiralty, where I lost no time In reporting myself, less sanguine and more practical, had counted me as dead and erased my name from the list of lieutenants. On hear-ing this I obtained an Interview with the permanent under-secretary, a friend of my father, to whose good offices I was In tho main Indebted for my rapid promotion. Though ho seemed to be very busy, ho listened to the account of my adventures with evident Interest, and was very curious to know all that I could tell him about Bonaparte and Paris. In the end ho promised to have my name restored to the list at once and to find me employment as soon as possible.

"You must have found life desperate-ly slow on board that Indiaman," he said, as 1 rose to take my leave. "How did you pass your time?"

"Well, among other things 1 learned Hindustani and Arabic."

"The devil you dldl Why,.you are just the man we w a n t We are sending a naval expedition to the Mediterranean to help and encourage the Turks in their resistance to that villain Bonaparte; and a knowledge of Turkish would be Immensely useful. I don't think any of our fellows know a word of I t "

"1 did not say Turkish. I said Ara-bic."

"Well, it is the same thing, I sup-pose."

"Not exactly; and I should not like It to be thought that because I hnve learned a little Arabic I know Turk-ish."

"Anyhow, the people out there talk Arabic—at least a good many of them do. They are Mohammedans, and Ara-bic Is the language of the Koran."

"And the French of the e a s t " "Of course. It Is Everybody knows

that ; and, as I said just now, you will be immensely useful. 1 suppose you would like to join the expedition?"

"There is nothing I should like bet-ter ."

"Well, I will speak to the board, and you shall hear from me In a few days Make good use of your run ashore—I don't think it will be long—and remem-ber me kindly to your father Good day."

Whereupon I bowed myself o u t great ly elated with my good fortune, and feeling that I had once more fallen on my feet. My Involuntary voyage In tho Mercla had not been lost time, af ter a l l I only hoped that It would not occur to tho under secretary to have my sup-posed proficiency In Arabic ^ut to the t e s t for I had learned from Dr. Joyce the merest smattering of tho language, and half of that I had forgotten. But, In order to be prepared for all con-tingencies, I called a t a bookseller's and ordered an Arabic grammar, to the study of which I resolved to give my nights and days until my next visit to the admiralty.

have to impart to the poor ladles the Intelligence of their kinsman's death. They had doubtless heard of It soon after lis occurrence, and by this lime, I hoped, were reconciled to their be-reavement II was not, however, like-ly that they had heard of me. But the poor chevalier's letter, which I bad carefully preserved, would serve as an Introduction, and, as I trusted, prove a passport to their favor.

My knock was answered by a dis-heveled maid with a dirty face, to whom I handed my card with n request that she would present It to Mme. de Gex and say that I waited her pleas-ure..

The maid tossed tho hair from her eyes, gave me a good stare, rubbed her nose with the back of her hand, and then, muttering: "Walt a minute," ran upstairs.

Returning presently, she said It was "all r i g h t " and took mo to a room on the second fioor, the door of which she opened, then sheered off without another word.

The room, though scantily furnished, looked much better than the general appearance of the house had led mo to expect There were flowers on the window-sill, nnd books on tho table, and the curtains were pretty and dis-posed with taste. I found myself In the presence of two ladies, one of whom seemed to have been working at an em-broidery-frame, l^e other painting. Both as I went fo ird rose from their chairs.

"Mr. Roy," said the elder lady, look-ing a t my card. "Is It possible tha t you are the English gentleman who so nobly tried to save my dear son. and stood by him to the last?"

"I did my bes t madame, b u t as you have no doubt heard, I failed In my en-deavor. He refused to accept his life a t the price of what he deemed dishonor, and died like a soldier and a gentle-man."

"Aud, I t r u s t as a Christian." "Also as a Christian, madamo. And

he charged me lo give you this letter. I am sorry that It has been so long de-layed, but the fault is not mine."

"A letter? Oh, Antoinette, he brings a letter from Henri! We thank you, sir, and might we—will you excuse us if we ask you to wall a little moment while we read my poor son's last letter?"

I bowed, Mme. do Gex Invited me to be seated, and then the two women, drawing near to each other, read the letter together silently and with many tears.

Mme. de Gex was tall and of stately carriage, with white hair and a sad yet noble and benign face. But how shall I describe Antoinette? Like her mother In he igh t she was unlike her In fea-tures. Mme. de Gex had been a bru-nette; Antoinette was a blonde, with an oval face and features as clearly cut as those of a Greek statue. Her cheeks, though somewhat faded by London air and continual work, had not lost their peach-like bloom; her eyes were large, brown, and faithful; her shapely head was adorned with thick masses of chest-nut hair. And the witchery of her smile, the sweetness of her voice, and the charm of her manner cannot be told; words are Inadequate to describe them.

Taking her all In all, Antoinette De Gex was the most fascinating young woman I had ever seen. Before I had been In tho room five minutes I was over head and ears In love with her. It was not the first time I had fallen in love at first s ight Biat this lime It was serious. I had met my fate.

"My son speaks very highly of you, Mr. Roy," said Mme. de Gex, In a voice broken with emotion, when she had finished the letter. "He says that if you had been his own brother you could not have shown more loyalty and devotion. His mother thanks you—thanks you with all her h e a r t "

"And his sister, she too thanks yon with all her h e a r t Mr. Roy," murmured

"You need bo under no apprehension, madame. 1 mean to succeed: therefore 1 shall do nothing reckless. And be-ing. as you observe, nn officer in tho British navy, I shall hove t6 defer tho attempt until the couclusion of the war. And tha t cannot bo long. The French are losing all their conquests. Nelson tyis destroyed their fleet, the tricolor has been well-nigh swept from tho seas, and Bonaparte, tho "only man who

! could save the republic. Is in Egypt, | without tho means of getting away A 1 few more reverses, nnd the directory

must fall, and then thp king will have his own again."

"I am glad lo see you are a royalist, Mr. Hoy," said Antoinette, smiling ap-proval.

1 "How could a man of my name bo j aught else, mademoiselle? The Roys

have been royalists for ages; nnd my 1 exTierlenco In France bus not predisposed

mein favor of republics." j This allusion led the conversation to ! Henri De Gex. and I hod to tell and re-1 tell all thai had befallen him ami me 1 during our too brief Intercourse; for, ' though his mother and sister had, as I ' surmised, heard of his death and that an | English fellow-prisoner had made a i strenuous effort to saw? his life, they

had still much to learn. And, being quite willing to stay as

' long as I might I answered all these questions con amoro, and, when they had no more to ask, gave an account,

! on a hint from Antoinette, of my ad-ventures, for the most part in great detail, taking care, however, to say no more about Julio Carmine than was ab-solutely necessary, and of course noth-ing whatever about Minnie and Dora.

LESSON NOTES.

TV'fl fynff Dday. Ezra 4. The founda-tions of the temple were laid amid great rojolclngs (B. C. .Vl.')), and It seemed as if the temple would Im-mediately rise iu its beauty. But great and unexpected opposition arose from their semi-heathen neighbors who occu-pied the surrounding country. For six years they opposed them In ever}- way. As soon as Cyrus died (In WO), they wrote letters to his successor, the fierce Cainbyses (the Abasuerus of Ezra 4:fl), misrepesenting anil slandering the Jews, and preventing them, al-together too easily, from pro-ceeding with the temple. I t would seem that they occasionally made feeble attempts, or a t least proposals, to go on with the work, for again, soren years later, niter the death of Cainbyses, tho enemies wrote to his successor. Go-mntes the usurper, the pseudo Smerdes, called Artaxerxes in Ezra l: 7. 8, etc., and received an answer absolutely for-bidding tho Jews lo build the temple. The letters are Iwth recorded in Ezra 4. Thus, for fifteen years the building of tho temple was delayed.

The Condition of Affairs. At Jerusa-lem. during these fifteen years. (1) The altar was bu i l t and religious worship was conducted in connection with it. but amid great difficulties, and in sur-roundings that marred its perfect effect upon the worshipers. (2) The temple foundations were laid, but everything was in an unfinished condition. (:$) The walls of the city, and a large part of the city itself, were in ruins.

Yet even though she had acted differently I doubt whether I should have found Antoinette as com-plaisant as Minnie and Dora.

In 580, and if the now temple was to bo completed 70 years later, early In 616, and if tho Jews wished to receive this second fulfillment of Jeremiah's prophecy (Jer. 25:11, 12), it was high time now (in B. C. 520) to be-gin the work.
