sickly contortion of the lips design­ed us humorous, straightening him­self tutd walking once or twice about the room. “The most absurd phan­tasy, Breek! I will go out and tramp oft’the effects of it.” And he Hung himself into the street again.

Reticent as was his nature, and shy as he had been in his communi­cations on the subject, I knew Mary M mi roe to be bis tenderly-worshiped Kweatheart, and had often congratu­lated him jocosely on his good for­tune, for the little lady, in addition to lu-r other and no less powerful charms, was an heiress by the death of her uncle and guardian owning utterly his only son, had left to his lovely hulk of his large and amassed wealth.

I had heard some rumors of the disinherited renegade, who had been for a number of years absent doubtful and unmentioued tions, and there had been a vague report that he was laying siege to the heart of Miss Monroe with such prospects of success as the acconip- plished roue too frequently fijuls with guiltily-admiring and weekly-credu­lous young womanhood, but as Sha- kovsky betrayed no symptoms of doubt and uneasiness, I gave no cre­dence to the probably slanderous whisper.

I bad been thinking over these tilings when the poor fellow hurst into the room again, wild and white as a ghost, holding in his shaking hand an open paper, which he thrust in my face.

“I telegraphed to Ashmorland for news from Alar}', and here is the re­turn dispatch,” he said in a hollow voice, grasping the back of my chair for support.

I read: “Miss Munroe died sud­denly yesterday morning of heart- disease. Her remains Mere inter­

In an incredibly short space of time the determined fellow stood at the bottom of the grave, trembliug with dread of the sight which might next meet his eyes, yet, without a moment’s hesitation, wrenching open the coftin that seemed to he hut im­perfectly closed.

Yes, according to his own account, Sbakovsky has had some queer men­tal experiences, but none more strange and incredible than the ac­tual circumstances attending his love-suit. Did he ever tell you the story ? I dare say not, for he is a little sensitive about the affair, as is natural, speaking of it, even with me, with the greatest reserve and cau­tion. However, I think he would have no objection to your being made acquainted with the facts of tin* case, since you are not one likely to regard him and his lovely wife as objects of vulgar curiosity, from which, with the instinct of refined li;’turps, both would shrink with pain.

examination, when stopping sudden­ly short, Sbakovsky clutched my arm with a rigid look of horror.

“Good (iod! do you see that V” lie whispered hoarsely, shaking with ex- e i t t i:i< nt.

“See what, man ?” I questioned, gazing astonished into vacancy.

He stared at me, brushed his hand two er three times across his sight, and coloring with a consciousness of 1 icing the victim of some strange hallucination, he strode without an­other word to his lodgings, which I, with a chum’s privilege, entered with him.

“In Heaven’s name, now tell me what you saw?” I demanded, as he tiling himself breathless and bewild­ered into a clmir, staring at me again with a dazed, troubled air.

“You will laugh at me, Breek,” lie said solemnly, “but I swear I saw, as plainly as I see you this moment, di­rectly in my way, a coftin settling slowly into an open grave, and un­der its lid, transparant as glass to niv sight, the face of Alary Alunroe, distorted with wild anguish and ter­ror. And, Breek, I heard her smothered voice. ‘Louis, oh Louis, conic!’ it said.”

He sprang to Ins feet, as though stirred again by the fancied cull.

“Nonsense, my hoy! No one

The telegram, signed by the friend to whom he had appealed, seemed I thoroughly genuine.

I got up put both hands in speech­less sympathy on my friend’s should­ers.

“I am not dreaming, am I, Breek ?” he questioned, in doubt of the strange evidence lie had brought.

“I believe not, Louis,” I answered, looking gravely in his eyes.

“And you think me perfectly sane, and capable of rational purpose ?” he pursued, scanning my face with anxious fear.

‘Certainly; as nearly so as circum­stances will admit,” I returned with caution.

•‘Then,” he promptly resumed, “you will make no objection if 1 ask you to accompany me on the next train to Ashniorelund ?’’

“Assuredly not; but with what view, my near friend?”

“I will see the bottom of Alary’s grave before midnight,” he answer­ed, with grim determination.

I started at him. “Why, I am not sure that you are not mad after all, Sliakovsky. We shall he arrest­ed for corpse stealing. We cannot even procure the implements for carrying out your purpose without attracting suspicion.”

“Pish!” lie retorted contcmptuous- of our last | ly. “We can purchrse them here. — College. Disguised as laborers no one would

mistrust us to be medical students. However, you shall incur no risk for my sake. I will go alone. No power on earth nor in hell can hinder my re­sponse to the appeal of Alary’s f ice as I saw it sinking in the prison of the grave.”

Crazed, surely crazed, I thought, as he rushed like a whirlwind out of the house again ; but every instinct of friendship prompted me to the guidance of an action that 1 clearly saw could not be suppressed. Accord­ingly, I ordered our preparations for the rash adventure with such cau­tion as seemed essential to success, and the next hour saw us gliding rapidly over the fifty miles ol rail that ran between our city and the pleasant town of Aslnnorelaiid.

It was some time after dark when we arrived at our destination, taking, against Khakovshy’s feverish protes­tation, a roundabout course to reach the cemetery, which, in its embower- ing shade, lay but a short distance back of the handsome grounds sur-. rounding the Alunroe mansion. Guided by the stately white column with its finger of Faiili, marking the last resting place of the Alunroes, we found, as we expected, under its protecting shadow the mound of a freshly-made grave, upon which, with a dry sob of anguish, poor Shakov- sky fell in utter despair. But, tired by the memory of iiis vision, he

or explanation. Circumstances were against us, and as we were not able to prove that the missing body had not been whisked away by accompli­ces before we had succeeded in ering up the theft and making our own escape, we had to submit to the course of the law under prosecution of the younger Alunroe, who, it was said, was leaving ao means untried

; to discover the fate of the stolen 1 corpse, but without success.

It was an exceedingly disgraceful predicament to find ourselves in, and poor Sliakovsky rated himself bitter­ly for his folly in dragging me into such a scrape, but we resolved to en-

| dure our penalty with heroism, trust­ing that the “mills of the gods” would at last grind out justice to all involved in the wretched mystery.

Aleantime, Howard Alunroe, who, by a provision of his father’s will restoring him to his patrimony in case his cousin Mary died without heirs, had come into possession of his foifeited lights, and had again disappeared from Ashmoreland, leav­ing the family house in charge of foreign servants, who, speaking not a word of English, maintained a sol­itary state among the country people about them. There were vague tale s shyly reported, of ghostly sights and

! sounds about the old mansion, and it was rumored to he in consequence of such disturbance that the strange occupants fiually cleared out, taking with them one of their number, said to have been so crazed with supgrsti-

Six years went on. Having paid the penalty of our alleged crime, we had finished our medical course and entered upon the practice of our profession, not, however, without suffering much from the stigma at­tached to our names, but which we

“Her name, my poor fellow?” I said, striving to keep down my own excitement as I administered to him a sedative.

“Number feefty-seven,” he said cautiously, lmt admonished by a sharper pang to make a clean breast of his trouble: “Alarie Alunroe—-she

The Cry “ Bead-Heads.”

In a long article on “ Journalism and Reporters,’’the New YorkEvenini/ Mail says: It is the people and not the journalists who are ‘dead-heads.’ In case anything happens to a person, he hastens to the nearest newspaper and demands that the editor shall wield his pen and shed ink in his vindication or defense. And ifthe jaded editor does not with alacrity espose the cause of his ‘ patron’ he will make an enemy for life. A rela­bels. of the press are literally limited down by all sorts of people who have axes to grind. The managers of a public meeting who do not find the reporters at the table suffer stings of disappointment; the Judge, who sonorously blows his nose before reading his opinion, looks anxiously for the stenographers; the preacher, who descants upon some special sub­ject, loses spirit, if the representa­tives of the press are not there; even the burglar on the way to State prison covets a talk with the ‘ news­paper man.’ Yet outside barbarians think all newspaper men are dead­heads, and envies them fine times they have in the way of free tickets to all manners of shows. There never was a greater mistake. People do not seem to realize that, on the part of the journalist, it is merely a matter of business that the reporter goes to these places, so attractive to outsiders, much as the horse goes to the plow—because he must do so. We ventured to say that four-fifths of these entertainments are to jour­nalists intolerable bores. The press is the victim of the public’s rapacious and unceasing demand without pay. Let us have the boot on the right leg.”

l i l JENNY WHEN.

A little limit i lly »i outing down the stream; in the stern, listlessly reclining, a young luuu, clad in a suit of Scotch gray, a straw hat upon his handsome head; oppo­site, holding the oars, a girl's figure, lithe and graceful—a girl’s bright cheeks and Hashing eyes The ours h.y useless in her > grasp; the little skiff limited with the cur- sent as it would, past the furrowed, llower- sown fields; the robin's note, and the , water's ripple, were nil the sounds to bo ( heard, when suddenly Tom Herbert spoke; :

“ I have been thinking, Miss l’ay, ot ! what you said the other evening in regard | to marriage. Do you remember?”

“ That I did not believe in entering upon 1 it with an unequal division of the spoils, present or future ? I still maintain that opinion, Mr. Herbert."

“ Itsounded sonulike you, I thought you | were but jesting, and can scarcely believe ! you were serious. Can you not imagine a case in which such a condition of things i might result happily ?’’

“No ! Let people marry who can evenly ! balance the scale—lot there be fortune, birth and rank to correspond ! Then will occur none of those petty differences which mar life's harmony, but the music will be perfect and unbroken."

“Not always so, Miss Fay ” and Tom Her­bert's tone held a new gravity. “Love is a wonderful equalizer. Put him in one side of your scale, throw fortune, rank, beauty in the other, and von will Hud they cannot weigh him down, lint let him take to him­self wings and tiy away, wliat then are all you have east in life’s lottery? I should be sorry to think your words heart-prompted.”

“ Should it ever be necessary to put them to the test, you would not find me wanting."

Only six weeks belore, Tom Herbert and Fay Hamilton had met, but in the constant association of a summer sojourn they had become warm friends. In Tom’s heart, even a closer feeling has sprung up; but as be sits ou the deserted piazza of the Mountain House, late that night. Fay’s words of the afternoon souud again in his ear.

He is in a somewhat assumed character, in her eyes, he knows. She believes him an artist, dependent upon bis profession, not dreaming liis art is a most expensive luxury, maintained simply through love of it.

Knowing this, it is scarcely flattering to his vanity that she should have spoken so decidedly, and placed, as he supposed, a harrier between them.

Yet he determined to apply the test, and abide the issue. If she loved, she could not thus reason; if she loved not, no out­ward show nor arguments would enlist her

r fancy.Blit in her own room, looking out on the

still waters of the hay, Fay, too, is living over in imagination the scene enacted hut a few short hours ago. Tom Herbert's grave look at her idly-spoken words is recalled, and she wonders wother self-interest prompted it. Yet what mattered it to her that, at the question, a bright flush crimson­ed cheek and brow, which, fortunately, only the moonbeams saw, as, with an impatient gesture, Fay Hprang from her seat, and pre­pared for sleep and forgetfulness?

“ Time must have played some sad tricks upon us, Miss Hamilton,” said Mr. Herbert, some weeks later. “ Can it he that the summer is almost ovssr, and that I have known you hut two short mouths? It seems to me I can recall no hour, no mem­ory, in which you are not intermingled. "

“ What a wouderful Imagination you must have, Mr. Herbert!” the girl laughed, in answer. “ The summers are always short to me—always charming.”

“ Then you place thin only on an equal looting with its sisters—these months, which have been to me such pure delight, you class with the summers fled? Do you know”—speaking with sudden passion—“ whij these weeks of vacation have been given such place in my esteemV or do you not need to ask or have me answer ?"

Words trembled on Fay’s lips, hut died away, unutterod.

A silence fell between them. The robin sang his merriest notes above their heads; the cricket chirped at their feet; hut though her darkly-fringed eyes werebent upon the ground, Fay fait the burning glance fixed upon her.

“ Will you lift y*ur eyes, Fay, and let me read them, since your lips are silent ? or do you fear what you may read in mine ? The story is all true, yet I will make it clear, and frame it in language you cannot fail to understand. To you all summers are alike. What matters one friend more or less? Only to add to the excitement of the mo- | meat, to live in the present—then to he for­gotten. With me the harvest has borne dif­ferent fruit. In its plenteous gathering I ; have met you. Do not start. It is only j one friend more! What matters it if a man’s heart is at stake as well?”

Then speaking rapidly, overmastered by his passion, almost believing the case pre- j seated true;

“ What matters it if I knowing the gulf between us try to bridge it, even though your lips have declared it an impassable barrier—if I the artist simply, presume to offer simply nnme, and honor, and honest toil, at the feet of Miss Hamilton, the heir­ess? Nay, I ask no answer; I have put no ! question. Only, Fay, if your kindly wo- I man-heart can give an echoing throb, if my words have not fallen upon dull oars, if you will let me finish the story I have begun— let me forget my doubts—put aside, for this one night, the outward show of the harrier between ns, and wear a white rose j in your hair!”

Then, with the echo of his words ringing ! in her oar, he left her.

That night. Miss Hamilton stood arrayed for the evening gaiety.

“ You may go, Eloise,” she said, turning to her maid.

“ But, mademoiselle, your hair is without ornament. Allow me,” and sho hastened,

onerose, nestling amid its green leaves, and lovely. It had l>eeu left a few

moments before at her door. No card ac­companied it. It needed none.

\\ ith tender touch the girl took it up and laid it on her dark hair. The effect was 1 magical. A soft light crept into her eye*:i happy smile played round her mouth. She almost laughed uloild when, as though i i voice had spoken, there came the words: '

“It ever I am put to the test, you will not find me wanting. *’

What power hud this man over her that j she should laydown her sceptre at his feet — j should give him the triumph of proving his j argument true and hers false ? Was his 1 love sufficient ? Love ! was that the word [ chafing through her brain?

All ! deny it she could not. For the first time she, too, must bend to its powerful sway.

Yet not so easily would she succumb not yet could she give him his triumph.

She would prove she was not so readily to he moved; and, taking the lose from her hair, where the stem had become entangled, as though loth to he displaced, she put in the spot its pure white leaves had just graced the glittering diamond ornament. Then, without another glance at (lie mirror, or a single backward look, she tied down the stairs.

Eloise caught the glitter as she passed, and gave a contented smile. Jler young mistress ilid her credit.

But other eyes awaited her entrance—eyes dark and glowing, betrayed in every restless motion the impatience of their owner; hut when their search for some one was reward­ed, out of their depths fled the gladness nud the smile.

On Tom Herbert’s ruddy cheek came a snddeu paleness; hard, stern lines settled around the boyish mouth, which had never found place there before.

Once, ho had reasoned, Fay’s words were spoken through ignorance. He had deemed it shonld|be liissweel task to teach her knowl­edge, to apply the test, to let love win the victory, and then, glad and happy, take her to his heart of hearts, and let the magic talisman of his gold, whose possession she knew naught of, shower the priceless gilts his wealth should yield her.

It was hard to hid farewell to those dreams —harder that her hand should prove their betrayer—hut hardest of all that the peach which outside bore so fresh and fair a sur­face should conceal a single spot within.

“I congratulate you, Miss Hamilton, upon the brilliancy of your civtume this even­ing.”

Fay looked lip, amazed.In the tones of the speaker was something

new. His voice sounded as though it had come from a distance, and grated for the first time upon her ear.

“ Do you ever say good-hve to your ac­quaintances of a summer. Miss Hamilton ? If so, I would plead the favor.”

“Good-bye?" she faltered. “Certainly.” “Did you not say that ail summers came

to an end? We are not all drones in the hive. Miss Hamilton. There must he some workers, and my studio is wearing, I know, an expectant look. Perhaps you will honor mo with a commission in the future?”

Then, unheeding the questioning look, half-reproachl'ul, that she gave him, holding lor one instant only, in a grasp of steel, the little hand within his own, he turned nud left her, standing dazed and bewildered.

That night, out from its cool, refreshing resting-place, Fay’s hand snatched the rose pressed it to her lips with passionate kisses, let two burning tears fall within her heart, then laid it away, to kei > forever, blighted and withered, likelier hopes and her fancied triumph.

Ahql fancy now Herberts artist-eye, could he have peeped upon the scene, would have asked no fairer picture !

Never had his self-imposed work been more grateful to him than the months that followed.

Through the lonely season of the fall, in­to the dreary weeks of winter, he painted as though it really was a necessity.

Standing one cold, cheerless morning, in front of his easel, brush in hand his thoughts wandered hack into the past, when, outside his door, he heaiT the rustle ol' a dress.

There was a second’s pause, a moment’s hesitation and then, with wild, despairing courage, the handle was turned with tremb­ling fingers, the door opened, and turivng, Herbert saw ou the threshold the girl of whom he had been thinking. In broken tones, she broke the silence:

“You tqld me once—not meaning the words, I know, but I have taken you literally —that perhaps some day I would give you a commission, I have come to give it to you to-day—to ask you to paint the one thing dearest to me ou earth—only a faded flower!”

And on the table before her she laid the rose, now yellow with age.

“Fay," lie answered, looking in her eyes, “do you know my prjee ?” *

“Name it!" she replied. “If my whole fortune, it is yours !”• “You are sure?” he inquired, a great

light leaping into his eyes.And then, taking one stride toward her,

as she looked her answer, he stooped and took his payment from her own red lips.

In the many treasures which adorn Tom Herbert’s beautiful home, none are so prec­ious in the oyes of its young mistress as one little picture of a faded flower; nor iu the years which so rapidly chase each other ou their course, does she find a single moment to regret the day she took her pride in her hand, and gave the artist his commission and liis price.

A s h r e w d device was successfully prac­ticed on the strikers at East Syracuse, N. Y.. on Wednesday forenoon. The New York Central passenger trains were stopped by the strikers, but afterward they were allow­ed to start. The mail cars had been placed at the rear of the train and as the other Cuts could uot he detained without interfering with the mails, the trains were allowed to pass on. Au effort to cause n general strike at Syracuse Wednesday, was not successful. Eight companies of the Fourth regiment arrived from Oswego and are now ready to quell any outbreak that may occur.

When Forrest was young- in those bright ami happy ante-divorce days—he was frieudlv with all the world, even with George Jnmiesou, und together they were playing an engagement at the old Albany Theater; “Richelieu” was in course of re­hearsal. The young man who played Fran­cois was very nervous, and Forrest found great difficulty iu getting him to obey or­ders. In the scene where the Cardinal says; “No mongrels, hoy—mark the notch

—a deep one." etc.,he wanted him to stand iu a particular spot. Iu vain he pointed out just where it was; the Francois never seemed to hit it exactly. Thoroughly out of patience at last, the trag­edian roared:

“Where’s the carpenter ? Bring the car­penter here instantly.”

Everybody wondered what he could want with the carpenter, hut the rehearsal was stopped until the carpenter came out with his tools. Forrest pointed out a certain place on the stage, and sternly hade him drive a nail there, which he did.

“Now, sir,” he said to the abashed Fran­cois, "I've marked a notch—a deep one— that you must see. Now, I think you will know where I want you to stand—stand right ou that nail sir.”

This certainly was a happy thought, and both the star and the stripling were mutual­ly pleased, hut Jamieson, a great practicle joker, had also* happy thought. It chanced that the nail had been driven in the very center of a trap, and not being on in that scene when it came to he acted, Jamieson went below the stage, and when Forrest be­gan bis great speech, with his hand on Francois’ head:

“No mongrels boy—mark the notch—u deep one,” the trap suddenly began to de- cend slowly, with Francois—who did not dare to move—upon it, and he gradually sank down, so that by the time Richelieu came to the famous line:

“Beneath the rule of men entirely great, The pen is mightier than the sword,”

the hoy was out of sight, and Forrest had to finish the scene without him.

Of course uo culprit could he found, and tlie air was heavy with Forrestian oaths.— Celia Logan in »V. V. Sun.

A number of Pintos camped oniong the hills hereabout possess ponies. As there is hardly a handfml of grass to the acre in the neighborhood of their slionties. it behooves such as have horses to keep a bright lookout for provender. Every wisp of hoy tlmt is met with by either bucks or squaws is pick­ed up and stuffed into a gunny-sack to go toward providing a tneal for tba half-starved pony picketed at the camp. The Indians are sure to be on hand when hay is being unloaded from the cars, and generally man­age to glean a considerable bundle of the coveted article.

The other morning we observed Capt. Boh and his squaw at a hay car that stood at a distance from the depot, nud, there being no one nhout, they allowed none of the bales to show ragged corners. After a lingo bun­dle had been made up, Boh boosted it upon the hack of his sqaw‘ and, nYter seeing that the rope was in its proper place across her forehead, gave a satisfied grunt and started her along toward camp, ho following, lead- by the hand a lour year old hoy. The hoy was duck-legged and a slow traveler. Boh picked him up, and we supposed it was his intention to carry him home. Nosuch idea had entered his head. As soon as he over­hauled his squaw he planted the hoy atop of the load of hay. This proceeding caused the woman to how her head a foot nearer the gronud, hut Boh didn't notice it.

"Why don’t you carry the hoy, Bob?” said we.

“For cos’ me like to see him ride."“Let him ride on your hack, then.”“Guess not, old son; me can't see him if

he on my hack !" and away went Bob, proudly smiling upou the youthful scion of his house. Before reaching camp, Bob probably had a quarter of a cord of wood piled up around tho boy; for, ns Pintcs say, “Squaw heap strong."

A n t iq u i t y o f C o n t i n e n t s . —Mr. A. R. Wal­lace, in a lecture on the comparative antiq­uity ot thecoutinents before the Royal Geo­graphical society, London, based his con­clusion tlmt tlie great masses of the earth were substantially the same as now from the earliest period, upon au examination of the extinct and the living animals found in each.

A n i l i n e D y e s . M. Seidler. ol Riga, has shown that aniline colors when pure do not injure health, whether they arc employed in giving a dye to fabrics, or iu tinting articles of food; hut unless the processes employed iu purifying the crude substances arc very thorough, there is great danger of poisonous results.

S inol ' lau C o i n c i d e n c e . By a series ot experiments conducted with ths electric spark, Mr. Worthington has discovered that drops of various liquids—water, milk, and quick-silver—let fall on a horizontal plate do not make, as has been supposed, an indiscriminate splash, dut pass through changes of singular symmetry and beauty.

T h e N e x t A k c tic E x p e d i t i o n . — The next Arctic expedition will probably he sent out by the dutch, under the command of a Dutch lieutenant who has made three Arctie voy­ages under the British flag. Its object is not the discovery of the pole, hut the erec­tion of granite monuments to some of the early dutch voyagers.

F a t h e k S e c c h i on S u » « p o t s . —Father S e- echi writes a letter to the French Academy on the present state of the solar atmosphere in which he states that the sun is in a rela­tive oalin because the spots speedily disolve. The duration of n spot depends upon the continuance of the eruptive action under­neath, which supplies fresh matter: but he believes that the period of increased max­imum activity gives signs of its early ap­proach.

W niT iN o W i t h o u t I n k . —An Englishman has invented a pen which contains a mass of coloring matter. No ink is used, the pen being dipped into water. If the composi­tion used is not superior to the ordinary run of solid links, the result of the rapid solution must be au almost invisible writing.

T h e W ka th eh an d S u n -s p o t s . —In Mau­ritius the drouths of two or three months du­ration have occurred during the years when there was a minimum ofsuu-spots, or when the number ol' these spots was below the average. In the three year periods of 1823- 5(5, uud 5894-1)7, when the minimum of snu spots occurred, no cyclones occurred. The connection of the weather with solar phe­nomena is undergoing a very thorough and systematic examination by the meteorolog­ical society of Mauritius.

I n v is ib l e I n k .—It is suggested that postal cards may he made the vehicle of the most confidential communications by writing upon them in “magic” ink. A solution of nitrate of cobalt, chloride of cobalt, or chlo­ride of copper, mixed with a little gum or sugar, makes an ink that is invisible until it is warmed, but which is plainly visible when the heat of a candle or match is applied to it. Or an ink may he used that requires a developer to dring it out.

D i f f e r e n c e B e t w e e n B a b ie s a n d A p e s . — In Jiis recently published 'Biographical Sketch of a Child,” Mr. Darwiu notes the fact that whereas all babies are well pleased to see their faces iu a mirror, the higher apes are highly incensed when they behold their natural face iu the glass. The fact is also remarked that whereas children soon learn that it is hut au image which they see there, the highest apes think it to be a real object and grasp around behind the mirror to clutch it. Here seems to be something on which to base a theory, if one only had the patience to construct it; the facts are certainly interesting enough.

P r iz e s fo r T p.e e - P l a n t i n o . —The Massa­chusetts Society for Promoting Agriculture has offered a series of prizes for tho encour­agement of tree-planting in that state—the awards to he made ten years from tho 1st of March next tor the best results produced iu the interval. The white ash, the Euro­pean larch, and the white and scotch pine has been done already toward promoting a new centennial growth of trees, and the in­ducements here offered will give another

J impulse to the work. Mr. Sergent, of the ' Arboretum of Harvard college, estimates that | over one million of trees will he planted in I Massachusetts this year. In Conneticut the general assembly of this year gave public sanction and encouragement to this same enterprise by exempting from taxation all plantations of timber trees to he thereafter planted, for a period of ten years after such trees have grown to au average of six foot iu height.

S u n s t r o k e i n C h i l d r e n . Dr. Charles West said, at a late meeting of tho Royal Medical and Chirurgieal society, that sun­stroke in children did not nlwuys depend on direct insolntion, hut might he produced by exposure to heated air, even when there was shelter from the direct rays ol' the sun. He had sometimes, under these circumstan­ces, seen very general paralysis iu childhood, whether it was likely to he permanent or to end in pnrtinl or complete recovory. If, however, muchliypenesthesin were present, the chance of recovery was generally less, although there were exception*. The cases which absolutely recovered were those iu which the improvement commenced very early.

—Gourko, who took his Cossacks so neat­ly through the Balkans, may !>e called the Moshy of the Russiau Army. It remains to he seen, however, whether he will want to distribute tho Imperial patronage alter Constantinople has been taken.

ltob llurdette, ot the Hurlim/tou ll'inkrij'. burst out of bis sanctum on the Fourth and desolated a suburban town with an oration. Irom which we ipiote:

Why have we assembled h re today r1 What means this vast concourse of people, these waving banners, these strains ot solll- stirriug music, thisglitterii^array >>t beauty patriotism and intelligence ? As 1 face this immense multitude, 1 am impressed with one thought, that rushes upon my very soul and struggles in vain for utterance. It is tin- thought that 1 am not going to la- able to make oue-half these people hear a word 1 say. It is not a grand thought. It is not even a brilliant thought. But it is true, and the truth is worth tar more than Brilliancy. \m l I will tell the truth every time I get an opportunity. It isn’t often that 1 get the ehance. What, with trying to iveoneile Tice's weather predictions and the President's policy, a man lias to be vig­il. tut and lie awake nights and watch his chances in order to get an opportunity to tell a little truth once a week, and yet this has nothing to do with tile Turkish war.

Why, then. 1 repeat, are we assembled In-re today ? To rejoice that we are a free people, endowed with the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happi­ness in a long range. To rejoice that the precious boon and heritage of freedom is ottrs.t bequeathed 11s by the fathers who fought, bled and died, that I and mine and roll and yours might breathe the air of freedom. And we rejoice to day, and are proud and happy and glad, glad that our fathers died for us instead of compelling us to die for them. They were great, grand 111-11. I u fact, they were, many of them, great-grandfathers.

It is sweet to die for one's country. It seems to me that I, too, would gladly, 0I1 how gladly, add my name to the list of the great and good, and die for my country—of old age. I would die sooner if it was thouht necessary, but I haven't got time. I am too busy. But if any sacrifices are needed next centennial, they may cull on me, and I will either come or send a hand.

Our fathers died for us. They died will­ingly and gladly. But if they could come back to-day and see what kind of a crowd they died for, quarreling over the President’s policy, wrangling over the currency, and some of them trying to pay a dollar's worth of debt with ninety cents worth of money, talking politics twenty-three hours a day,and praying so seldom that our knees get rusty, drowned out by rain, devoured by grasshop­pers, they would, if they had to do it over again, live nine thousand years, and only die when they had to.

And yet ours is a glorious country. A wonderful, magnificent country. It is mar­velous. As a high-school girl would say, it i s ‘•nice.” Look abroad over our land, turn the pages of history, and see what the mighty genius of progress has wrought. But one short century ago the corner-stone of this mighty fabric was laid, amid the thunder of cannon and the rattle of musketry, canopied by the smoke of battle and cemented with blood. A little band of struggling, needy patriots, half clad, poorly fed, with only

Wlicu his army was starving u! the Pruth and disaster was staring him in tin- face, she brought salvation to Lb« cauip by bribing the Turkish commander w ith her jewels. Not long afterward the Emperor went to Berliu accompanied by his peasant wife, ami the Indies ot the Prus­sian Court said that her rlotbos were so bedeeked with silver tiluel that she must have bought them iu a doll-shop. Sho wore few jewels, but was decorated with portraits ot saints and relies, which made a great clatter wln-n she walked. "A painted act­ress, pious but <narso. ” was the verdict of the Princesses. But the Czar was not ashamed of her. She had saved his camp.

Alter Petei the Great came those warrior queens, Anna and Catharine, who nearly drove the Turks out of Europe. They did not themselves lead their armies, but their eonimanners, Munnicli, Romauxoff, Potem­kin, and Suwarrow, felt the pressure of an iron-lmnded mistress at St. Petersburg. The discipline which Munnieh enforced iu Jh« army was as unreasonable and hard-hearted as the caprice of the Empress. When the hospitals Were lull, he issued an order ior- biddiug any soldier to be sick under pen­alty of being buried alive; and when his troops were unwilling to storm a town, W turned his own batteries upon them unx forced them to advance. “You will take Ismail, cost what it may,” were the order* which Suwarrow received, and 30,000 Turks perished iu the singe and massacre before I tiou, and the dispatch was sent to Catherine, “Moth-1 or; Ismaii is at your feet.” The detenu'im-

Bulgariain 1828 he went to the front and strove to arouse the enthusiasm of his soldiers. Two fortresses were captured during the first year of the campaign, but the siege of Sliumlu was a disastrous failure, aud the troops withdrew to winter quarters, greatly disheartened. Although the Emperor had purchased the surrender of Yarua, his pres­ence hampered his Generals and did more harm than gooff Setting sail for Odessa, he narrowly escaped shipwreck outlie Turk­ish coast, and during the second year of the campaign he remained at St. Petersburg. It was well for the Russian arms that he stayed away, for Diehtisch never would have reached Adrianople if he had had an Em­peror in camp. Foiled by the plague in 185‘J, Nicholas was defeated by the allies iu 1825, and died of a broken heart.

It lmu missed it only once in the past twelve hundred years, and on that once it hailed all day. The Fourth of July was not the only invention of this great and good man.

• He invented a name that will fit two-thirds of the hoys of every generation iu America. A grateful p *ople never forget the fact, and Washington when at the zenith of his pow­er was nominated hv acclamation for the capital of the 1 nited States. Washington was discovered praying nt Valley Forge, and Irom the great stress laid upon the incident by all historians, it was judged that it was- the only time any one ever caught him praye i ng. He wns a brave, good man, bnt lie dressed too much like a member of n base­ball club to be elected in these days.*
