HOME AND ITS QUEEN.

There is probably not an unperverted
man or woman living who does not tell
that the sweetest consultations and best
rewards of life are found in the loves
and delights of home There are very
few who do not feel themselves indebted
to the influences that clustered around
their cradles for whatever of good there
may be in their characters and condi-
tions. Home, based upon Christian
marriage, is so evidently an institution
of God, that a man must become profane
before he can deny it. Wherever it is
planted there stands a bulwark of the
State. Wherever tits pure, and true to
the Christian idea, there lives an institu-
ton conservative of all the nobler inter
ests of society. OF this realm woman is
the queen. 1t takes its cue and its hue
from her. She is in the best sense wo-
manly-if she is true and tender, loving
and heroic, patient and self devoted
she consciously or unconsciously organ
ICES and puts in operation a set of infu-
enCes that do more to mould the destiny
of the nation than any man, uncrowned
by power or eloquenCe, can possibly ef-
feet. The men of the nation are what
their mothers make them, as a rule
and the voice which those men speak in
the expression of their power is the voice
of the women whe bore and bred them.
There can be no substitute for this. There
IS no other possible way in which the wo-
men of the nation can organize their influ
ence and power that will tell so benefici-
ally pom society and the State Neither
woman nor the nation can afford to have
home demoralized, or in any way de-
Perforated by the loss of her presence or
the lessening of her influence there. As
a nation we rise or fall as the character
of our homes and the best gauge of our
prosperity is to be found in the measure
by which these homes find multiplica-
ton in the land. In true marriage, and
the struggle after the highest ideal of
home life, IS to be found the solution of
more of the ugly problems that confront
the present generation--moral social
and political-than we have space to
enumerate. ate.-.Sc2z6He7's 1HzeugIHe.

DEATH IN THE cAPIro1.

the Ohio House of Representative from
Columbiana county, died yesterday af

Adair, Member from Carroll county,
about half-past two o'clock, the two
coming from dinner at the American
Hotel. As they entered the door, after
ascending the steps outside, Col. Young
threw up blood and complained of pain
and oppressive feeling at the lungs. He
first intmated that he ought to return to
the Hotel, and then said almost imme-
diately that he wished to lie down. He

and was almost Immediately surrounded
by intimate friends who knew that he
had been subject for years to occasional
attacks of hemOrrhage of the lungs.
Understanding this, they made imme-

sent at once for his old family physician,
DR.. Geo. w. Brooke, Member of the
House from Mahoning.
Col. Young, soon after entering the
Comptroller Office, threw up such a
vast quantity of blood as to cause the
greatest alarm, and messengers were
sent for DR.. Loving. Drs. Brooke and
Curtis, Of the House, were with the
dying man as soon as they could walk

greatest haste from his Office, across
Broad street, and all that medical aid
could do, was done. All this availed

this he seemed easier, but sank rapidly.
He opened his eyes when DR.. Brooke,

THE coLoRED MAN IN CONGRESS.
From the Journal of Commeroe.l


The House of Representatives scarce
ly realizes that it has a colored member,
for the reason that the new Congressman
from South Carolina is nearly white, and
sits in a corner where few see him.
His name is Joseph H. Rainey He
halls from Georgetown, South Carolina,
where he was born of slave parents in
1882. Though prevented by law from
attending school, he acquired a good
education, and has improved it by travel.
His father worked himself free and went
into the barber business in Charleston,
and young RaineY also shaved the
%bloods" for living in the same shop
until 1862. The Confederates then or
dered him to work on the fortifcations
He refused, and escaped to the West
Indies, where he lived till the war end
ed, and then returned to Georgetown.
He was elected a member of the State
Senate, and resigned to accept the nom
ination to succeed B. F. Whittemore in
Congress. He was chosen by 1913
majority oveFhis competitor, and was
reelected to the Forty-second Congress.
He represents the most important dis
tricti in the State:
Mr. Rainey is whittier than Revels, be-
ing about seven-tenths whittier, or posi-
bly, an octoroon. He has long straight
hair, that makes deliberate curl at the
end, such as the watering-place beaux
cultivate buteit has Just the slightest
tendency to irregularity or ropiness, as
if intended to show that he has some
colored blood in him. His long bushy
side-whiskers are precisely like a white
mans. His physical organization seems
to be sufficiently strong to bear all the
strain his mental construction will give.
His forehead is middling broad and high
and the ennobIng organization Of the
mind is well developed. He has an ex-
cellent memory, and his Perceptive pow
ers are good. His polite and dignihed
bearing enforces respect. OF course,
Mr.. Rainey will not compare with the
best men of the House Of Representa-
tives, but he is a good average Congress
man, and stands head and shoulders
above the ordinary carpet-bagger.

conclusion of my story.
THE RESCUE.
The next evening Just as we were
making up our minds for another
night of darkness and discomfort, we
heard above the roar of the sea the re-
port of a gun close by. We answered it
by sending up blue light, to show
where we were, and in few moments
tie stately hull of a splendid large
ship loomed out of the fog close to u.s.
All night she kept near, blowing her
steam and letting off blue lights. We
burned one regularly every hour, and
as soon as the day dawned she fred
rockets with a rope attached to the
stick, until we managed to get hold of
one, when she took US in tow, and on
the fourth day after Christmas we en-
tered the HOOghly in the wake of our
big friend. We had no maStS and
looked the waterlOgged wreck we were.
This ship had been sent out to look for
US, and there was another vessel cruis-
ing in the South Channel 1--WE were
found by the Hesperus in the North
ChanneD on the same charitable er-
rand. The whole population of Cal
cutta seemed 10 have turned out on
the rivers banks to look at US as we
made our lOpsided way up Garden
Reach: the last lurch had shifted the
coal and cargo, and we weighed down
almost to the waters edge on one side. |
Every passenger had to bewaiI the loss
of his luggage, for if it was not pound
ed into little bits, the boxes werefull of
bilge-water. My own clothes looked |
as if they had been packed in ink, and !
were utterly ruined but we were all |
so glad to escape with our lives, that |
we did not fret about our possessions. |
On the Sunday after our arrival there |
was special service in the Cathedral, |
which all the rescued crew and pas |
sengers attended, and very thankful I
we felt, especially when it was ascer-
tanned that man ? ships had been lost in
that cyclone in the Bay, and that of all /
those then due at Calcutta, ours was |
only one which had reached its desti-
nation.

TWENTY SEVEN CENTS WORTH
OF MARRIAGE,

In Virginia, where the law fixes the
marriage fee at one dollar, there is a rem
iniscenCe of a couple who many years
ago called on a parson and requested him
to marry them.
Where is my fee?" said the old
functionary.
The parties who were to unite their
fortunes did so at once, and found the
joint amount to be twenty-seven cents.
81 can't marry you for that sum, said
the-irate old gentleman.
"a little bit of service will go a long
way" suggested the male applicant.
ooh, no, said the parson you don't
pay for the size of the pill, but for the
good you hope it viii do you"
The lass, intent on marriage, began
to weep, but the Parson was inexorable,
and the couple turned sadly to depart.
Just then happy thought seemed to
strike the forlorn maiden, and she turned
and cried through her tears:
please, sir, if you can't marry us full
up, won't you marry US twenty seven
cents worth We can come for the
rest some other time.
This was too much for the Parson.
He married them "fuIl up" and they
went on their way rejoicing.

A COAL PIT ON FIRE FOR A HUN.
DRED YEARS
TFronn the London News.l

One of the most curious phenomena
in connection with coal mining is exhibi-
ted at the Bank Colliery, near Rother-
ham, the property of Earl Fitzwilliam.
This pit caught fire 100 years ago, and
all the efforts of the workmen at the
time, and subsequently, have been quite
intellectual to extinguish it. A short time
ago it was ascertained that the flames
were approaching the bottom of
the shaft, and it was then resolved, if
possible, to stay their progress, SO that
they might not extend to other parts of
the workings. At length the Superin-
tendent of the collieries, Mr.. T. Cooper,
conceived the idea of building a wall to
shut in the fire, and in order to ascertain
the best site for this wall, several of the
officials crept on their hands and knees,
through the dense sitting smoke, as far
as possible into the workings. Their
efforts was successful, and a wall is now
completed nearly 900 yards in length,
and varying from 9 inches to 5 feet in,
thickness. At distances varying from
80 to 50 yards metal pipes have been in
serted in this wall, which are securely
plugged at the end, so that at any time,
by removing the plugs, the state of the
air on the side OF the FIRE, and even the
position of the fire itself, can be asceT-
tanned. So intense Is the heat arising
from this fire that people possessing gar
dens above the colliery declare that the
growth of plants is materially affected,
and that they were enabled to obtain two
and three crops every year.
