What Did It.--Some men are
impressed with the idea that adr

power of advertising is yery.rc-
markably illustrated BY recent
events. A small three line adycr-
tisement in a New York paper,
offering a cadctship for saIe, lias
already resulted in three Congress-
men losing their places IN tlisgFscn,
and is causing much trembling N
their seats of several more. Ad-

A curious law case lately came
before a French court. There are
still to be found in France q consid-
cradle number of the descendants
of the ancient noblencss, who, in
spite of the abolition of the estates
in 1889, and the ruin brought on
their order at that period, have con-
trived to regain, and further retain
very large landed property. This
has been accomplished mainly by
family arrangements, giving the
head ofthe house the land III con-
sideration Oh his paying an equiya-
lentin money to the other heirs,
and still more prudent" marrying,
for at this day no more thoroughly
worldly marriages are coneocted in
any part of the world than in the
Faubourg German. There mar
raiges are almost entirely dictated
by policy, and the wishes of the
contracting parties are little more
consulted than they were in Eng
land a century and a half ago.
One Of the greatest Of the feudal
lords left in France is the Duke dc
/ lDoudeauvillc, of the famous family
of La Rochefoucauld, who keeps
house quite in barouial style at his
! chautcau in Central France, where
it may be added, the representative
of the old peeragc are principal,
to be found. The Duke who dis
pcnses splenden hospitality, an'

a that il the Duke did not think th

"YALLER DOGS"


When Noah discmbarked at Ar
arat he had scarsely touched the
pier when ho proceeded TO tally his
passengers, lie had just checked
his last item in the list---a Mr.. aud
Mrs. Bcdbug-when the cringing
figure of q quadruped came sneak
ing down the gangplank with his
tail between-his legs. "Drat it, II
there amt ayaller dog!' says Noah,
aiming a vicious kick with his bro
gan at the brute. But with a facili-
ty born of long and bittcr expert
encc, the brute dodged the rrolcctile
and calculating "ki.yi," which is
Syriac for adeclined with thanks,'
or "not for Joe"---he disappeared,
while Noah, who had his sca-legs
ON, and sat dow with emphasis on
the back of his head.
| Noah arose, and in accordance
with the style prevalent among the
patriarchs, he proceeded to soothe
his affrontcd dignaty by pronounc-
lug a varigated anathema upon the
yaller dog, which had characteristic
eallv sneaxed unobserved on board,
in the confusion Of putting TO sea,
and capsized the captain at the first
port. He cursed that dog in body,
limb, bark, hide, hair, tail and wag,
and all his generations, relations
and kindred, by consanguinity or
affinity, and his heirs and assigns.
lie cursed him with.endless hunger,
with perpetual fear, with perinial
laziness, with hopeless mango, with
iucessant fcas, and with his tail be-
tween his legs. lie closed his stock
of malcdations by a sparkling dis
play of pyrotechnics, from the de-
moralizing effects of which the yal-
ler dog has never recovered.
With this curse sticking to him
like a revenue stamp, the yaller dog
can't help being "cusscd." lie
don't try to help it. He follows
Noall's program with sneaking H.

The days of Catholic superstition,
bigotry and intolerance have not en-
tircly passed away and the fea-
lures Of the church are marked by
the teachings Of the priesthood in
encouraging these ideas.
The following account of the
miraculous intcryentions Of the
Virgin Mary, which We extract from
the Banner Of The South, Catholic
journal published at Augusta Georgia
shows that the belief in miraculous
intcrventions Of the Divine Spirit
through the Virgin Mary is still
taught in the church.

MY EARLY LOVE.

Sweet eiligy of one remote,
Meath brighter, fairer skies than ours,
Mid atmospheres that round thee float
Through old seyilles enchanted bowers.
Thy face restores those golden times
When, by thy side, in tranquil weather,
We sung our songs and read our rhymes

Thine eyes, upturned with love to mine,
Thrilled me with feeling true and tender;
They seemed like lights upon shrine,
lllumng with gentle splender;--
Aud from the bright translucent beam
That flashed in their respendent glory,
caught the fame that lit the beam
A chapter ofthc same old storyl
Thy lips, twin rose-buds, breathing sweet,
Bewitched me with their ripe caressing;

And time was joy, and life was Blessing

Lies calm as summer lake at even,
Rejecting in its field refined

And left me but the pain oifeeling.

A fond illusion, tinged with roses

That memory alone discloses.

An Important Port.

On the next page we giveourroad-
ers an accurate picture of the tort-
fcations of the port of Alden, one Of
the most important points on the
| Red Sea. 1t is called Il second Glib
raltar, for it is as strong as nature
and art canmake it. Now that the
Suez Canal is success, Alden is more
important than ever. 1t is in the
possession of Great Britain, and will
be held by her for years to come
unless war should compel her to
loose her grasp. The French inten-
ded to take it from the Arabs, and
a feet on the way to the island stop
ped at an English port in India to
coal and obtain fresh provisions
TheBritish Goyern'r suspected some
thing, but he could not tell what his
suspicious really were, for the French
Admiral alone had possession of the
secret destination of the feet. AT
this stage of the proceedings the En-
glish authorities thought that a good
dinner and unlimited quantities Of
champagne would loosen the admi-
ral'stongue. The Frenchman limited
his purpose at the dinner table, and
while he was talking, the Governor
wrote orders for the despatch of
steamers and a company of soldiers
to take possession of Alden. The
next day the French fleet sailed, but
it was one day too late. The En-
glish flag greeted the eyes of the as
tonished Frenchmen, and the En-
peror Napoleon lost an important
point through the influence of bab-
bling admiral who had drank too
many glasses of champagne.
Alden is the coaling port for all
the steamers that traverse the Red
Sea, coming from China to many
4 European ports now through the
| Suez canal. Alden lies sixty mile:
to the eastward of Mocha, i'm longi
| tude A 48 east and in latitude IL Az
north of the equator. 1t was onc'
quite a wealthy town, but now it is
and will remain, the Red Sea coal
ing station The town is built il
the crater of an exhausted volcano
and is situated at the extremity Of
small peninsula formed Of volcani
matter, and attached to the cont
nent solely by low neck of Ian
from 500 to 600 yards wide, an
which might be easily isolated by
canal. The harbor is a magnificer
basin, capable of containing an in
mense fleet, and rs entered by mai
row passage between two other cri
tiers. 1t would be easy to establis
defensive works on the rocks su

Beams no star Of hope and trust2
Let that soul but pause and ponder !.
On the works the past has done;
And an honor bright and glorious,
For the future shall be won.
Fer the soul must feel the stirring
0fits destiny sublime,
Who but rightly views the present,
With It's earnest heart and mind,
Toiling in the earthly vineyard
Many hands have founda place;
Some are nearing to the SUNNI it,
Some are at the mountains base.
Progress is the stirring watch word
Cheers them upward to the height
Canst thou pause and playthe laggard
With its glories full in sight?
And while fair and broad and glorious,
Trour visions we can see,
Still the future brightly stretching.
Who shall TIL what bond or barrier

Who shall dare to fix the limits,
