"a custom peculiar to the people Of

are thus drawn to be compares and

pie. The gentleman is to be the escort

Seventeen years ago, MI. Hirscll, now
resident of Louisville; befriended a
young man named Sonnenberger, adj
vancing goods to the amount of 1850
on his personal security. The adven-
turer crossed the 1sthmus of Panama
with the goods, after which nothing
was heard from him until quite recent
ly. After weary pilgrimage around
the world, constantly followed by mis-
fortune, Sonnenberger had found his
Eldorado in tho South African diamond.
fields, aud was anxious of paying up
his Indebtedness, principal and interest.
Such events have double significance,
in increasing our faith in maligned
human nature, and as showing how
many an honest fellow has been pre-
vented from showing his zeal gratitude
for acts of kindness rendered,

BesSelllor Steel.

It is probably not generally under.
stood that the Bessemer steel process
is really an American invention, and
that the term itself is misnomer.
Tho process was discovered and used
by Mr.. Kelly, in the state of Ken
tucky, long before Mr.. Bessemer was
ever heard of. As soon as Mr.. Kelly
heard that Bessemer had brought ont
the process in England, he at once ap-
piled for patent, placing the matter
in the hands of patent solicitor, who
retained the papers just long enough
to notify Bessemer, the latter securing
the patent. However. Kelly had pro-
cured a caveat, and after hearing by
the Commissioner of Patents, the case
was decided in his favor. Some years
after the patents of Kelly, Bessemer
and Mushet were consolidated in one
company. All the patents having OK
pired in 1871, renewals were refused to
all except Kelly, who secured nm ext"n-
sion of seven years.

Six columns Of the London Times, of

new manifesto Of the United Kingdom

last October the Alliance called for q
fund Of f1O0, 900, Of which ETA, 600
have already; been raised. The, spirit
which animated the Alliance il plainly
shown in this manifesto. It has sworn
uncompromising hostility to any form
of dealing intoxicating drink, and
will be satisfied with nothing less than
the entire "stamping out y Of the iq-
nor traffic. Il declared at the time 81
its organization, in 1853, and it declares
now that sit is impossible TO limit on

carry out by means of q permissive bill
