Dependence on the providence of God is, in
spite OF all that wicked wise men say, an ele-
ment of human nature itself. The savage
who calls ON the Great Spirit, the barbarian
who kneels before the image of his god, even
the wilful sinner who denies the Deity with
his lips and yet feels the "Ininite that
stirs within him." attests the universal sense
of an active and omnipresent divinity; but we
do not remember ever to have seen this truth
more touchingly illustrated than in the case
ofthe preacher who, at the late Radical Con-
vention in Iowa, offered up the following; 20
Lord, by all means, give us this year our usual
10000 majority, and if possible o Lord, give
us $4,000 majority" There are instances
where good men in dry weather, have prayed
for rain, and it didn't come, and where pious
friends implored protection for absent ones at
sea, whose bones now rest amid the coral
reefs of the great deep; but none of these
should feel so disheartened as this preacher
ought to feel if Iowa doesen't give So 900 ma
jority for the Republican ticket next fall

An Uncommenly-Disagr Little
Beast.

One of the most curious and interesting
papers in the English magazines for July is
Mr.. Leakey's account in St. Paups of the
"Tasmanian Devil" This is a little beast
about the size Of large bulldog, but marsll-
pial, still found in the wilds of Van Dieman's
cry known beast, and is thus described
His natural propensities are those of the
gluttonous or sluggish kind, and he will be
quiet enough when gorged with flesh and lelt
to undisturbed repose, but the slightest prov
ocation, the merest and most unintentional
observation, will turn him at once into ver-
liable fiend. He then becomes instantly the
very type of senseless fury, attacking all be-
fore him, dead or living, and flying with equal
fiercenesS at mastif or barL door. Nor is
there, while life is left to him, either truce or
quarter; as long as a shred of flesh remains to
tear, or a last bone to shatter he fights on,
regardless of the numbers that surround him
or of his own subsiding strength, until at
length his jaws snap family, and his life goes
gradually out with an Internal snarl. Though
taken young, and brought up in captivity, his
nature undergoes not the slightest modifica-
ton. He lives to the last the same surly lie,
and usually dies in some mad struggle WIN
the bars of his cage. After years OF experl,
ence he repeats the same acts of prohtless and
exhausting frenzy. Without apparent mo-
tive he rushes at the wall, beating the air like
a rabid hInatic, utteriDg long growls that
seem to choke him, till they break out sud-
denly into piercing bark. He shows not
the smallest attachment to his guardians OF
keepers, whom he menaces and swears al
from the moment they approach him till they
pass completely out OF sight. When tired
out or over-fed he becomes stupid and sleepy
rolls himself up in corner, and falls into &
leaden slumber from which it is not Away:
easy to rouse him. Nothing can be cheaper
than to feed him. He will be satisfied fol
days together with hugh bones, which hi
cracks up like biscuit, and usually swallows
entirely.
| No animal can fight him, and he has re

IL was not only the ignorant and excitable
that yielded to the extraordinary fascinotio,,
OF Whitefeld's oratory. No shrewder ,star-
er ever stood before him than the celebrated
Benjamin Franklin; and how little he was
able to resist The charm is shown by the
amusing story which he tells of himself
Whtetield had consulted Franklin about the
locality OF his proposed orphan house, but
had refused to act on his advice; and the re-
fusal had determined Franklin not TO sub

How COchise, the Apache Chief, Became
the White Mnn,s Foe,

the White Mans Foe.
1t is reported that the band of Cochise, the
most fierce and dreaded of the Apache chiefs
has been induced by the agents of the Indian
Bureau to come upon the reservation. The
family of Cochise did not come in, as the
chief was absent; but they promised on his
return to try and induce him to join the 9TH
ers. If this report is true, it is to be hoped
that the utmost exertions will be used to
make terms with this noted warrior, and that
such efforts may prove successful. General
Stoneman says that when he first saw the
Apaches in 1916, they were splendidly mount
ed; every warrior rode a stallion, and every
squaw mare. They were dressed in buck
skins. their lances were bright, and their
trappings superb. Seven hundred of them
rode together. They were the terror of Mex
leo, and rode far into the republic; but they
treated the Americans with chiyalry, and
bands of California emisrants could ride
through Arizona unharmed. The Arizona
Apache is now starving hyena, eating squir.
rels, rats, owls, anything to keep life and ven-
geance alive. Cochise himself is said to be a
splendid physical specimen of man, OF Won
derful alertness and remarkable sagacity. He
was at peace with the whites when his camp
was attacked, and his vile and brother cap
tured. Some days aiterward he and nine
other men rode up to the attacking party,
mounted on good horses and holding lariats
to which were attached the necks of nine
white captives., Cochise's message was,
"Give up my wife and brother, and these
prisoners shall be set free.'. The white peo-
pie answered this by hanging on a gallows
the chiefs wife and brother, and Immediately
the Indians bounded of, dragging the unfor
tunate hostages over the desert. Since that
time Cochise has been msrciless in his ven.
geance, and his name is terror Throughout,
the border. Although the horrible crueltie:
he has committed on unoffending whites can.
| not be excused, it must be. remembered that
he was not the aggressor in the first instance
and that he was only pursuing the mode OF
warfare which is considered perfectly legit
mate amoug his race. If this remarkable
man could be induced to become friendly
once more, his influence on the wild tribe:
would be of incalculable advantage to us.

Mrs. Helen S. Conant writes in Harper's
Monthly:
Large numbers of Cinnamon are sent out
to labor on the sugar plantations immediaty
on their arrivalin Cuba. They prove efficient
laborers, and as they have no expenses, and
command very good wages, they accumulate
in very few years funds sufficient to allow
them to carry out the cherished proiect-a re-
turn 10 their native land. The Chinese, how
ever, are born gamblers; and many poor
fellow who comes to Havana from the coun-

savings of years in single night, and dooms

life of crime, he spends his days in the city

the success of that branch of industry in Ha.

Honradez employs great number of China
men for the preparation of its dainty wares.
The workmen are, for the most part, lodged
and fed in the building. Their sleeping apart
ment is like the cabin of a large emigrant
ship, full OF berths in tiers, with passage-ways
round among them, but every thing arranged
with great regard to cleanliness and ventila-
tion. BY many of the berths hang emblems
of curious devices and printed cards in Chin
ese-probably charms to secure undisturbed
repose to the occupant. Going into the long
wOrk-rOOm in this establishment, one is sing
ularly impressed by the curious appearance of
the workmen, who at first sght-indeed, at
second sight tOo-appear TO be al. women
Dressed in long blue or nankeen gowns, with
hair braided and wound round and round the
head, their almond-shaped eyes steadily fas-

To what extent they are thinking men is still

The Late FiIiibustering Scare in Austria

The Sydney correspondent of the Mel
bourne Leader gives the following particulars
of the recent panic in the Australian colonies,
on account OF rumored invasion by Ameri.
can tillibusters. One of the elements of the
scene, it appears, was the connection of Gen
eral B. F. Buffers name with the absurd ro-
nance. The correspondent writes:
A wonderful story, full of sensational incl
dent, has reached me. A Mr.. Ste gart, ma
tive of Tasmania, whose present residence is
No. 27 Norfolk street, Strand, made COM

general, that scheme had been revealed to
him of a proposed predatory attack nbon
Melbourne, Sydney and Dunedin by vessel
fitted out in the United States. Without at
tachng much Importance to Mr.. Stewards
tale, the Colonial representatives took the
proper steps to test that individuals veracity.
The particulars elicited from him were to the
following effect: Two young men-one of
them calling himself Bethune, and who rep
resented himself to be the nephew of the
Bishop of TorOntu-came to lodge at Stew
arts house. They had recently arrived from
Melbourne. Becoming intimate with Stew
art, they one day told him that ship was be-
on behalf of France, but really for the pur
pose of making an attempt upon the chic
Australian towns, and upon the mail steamerf
The plan was to slip through the Heads at.
night, get up alongside the Nelson, take pos
session OF her, turn her guns upon Melbourne
and then levy black-mail upon the Treasury
and the banks. Mr.. Stewart added that, ac-
cOrding to the representations OF his dodgers,
General Butler and G. +. Train were con-
cerned in this notable scheme.
Bethune and his companon-the latter
named Scott invited Stewart to join them,
and promised to telegraph him from America,
telling him when to start. He pretended to
enter fully into their designs, but as soon as
they left for America he dvulged the whole
particulars to Captain Mayne, Agent General
for New South Wales, who consulted with
Mr.. Verdon and Mr.. Morrison ON the matter.
At the suggestion OF some members of the
government, the cases were laid before the
Secretary of State, who advised that the re.
spective Colonial governments should be COM
municated with on the subject by telegraph.
Such kilograms were accordingly forwarded,
and in the meantime, Colonel Henderson, the
chief commissioner Of police, had taken the
affair in hand. Nothing, however, of char

been discovered, except that Bethuue had re-
