How the sun Caught Thief.

FIVE or six days ago, says a Paris
paper, NJ ", a photographer, allurcd
by the brightness of the sun, and the
softness of the air, provided himself with
necessary baggage, and FASTENED to Fon
tainebleaU to take views of the forest.
He installed himself in very picturesque
quarter, erected his apparatus, prepared
his plates, opened his object glass, and
enveloping at OnCe his case and his head
in large, dark and fiuctuant veil, set
himself to the task of selling the objects
in view. lie had inst taken out his proOf
from the dark chamber and was subject
ing it to chemical reaction, when a strong
hand was laid upon his shoulder He
turned round hastily and found himself
IN the presence Of a species of giant,
meanly atirod, who by gesture and voice.
demanded his purse.
NJ " is not a Hercules, and from
the first glance toward his adversary, he
concluded that all resistance was useless
He therefore politely offered his purse,
which was accepted with thauklulpess.
The rohhcr bowed, and, leaving him to
resignation, went into the depths of the
forest

The PEOPLES SERVANT.

The Req. Mr.. HepUorh at St>iapdy Rati-In Part
A great sorrow has fallen Unexpectedly upon

Had he been born among the high and the noble, and
had be pursued the OF his way he might
died unnoced; but our hearts were moved because he
began life 90 years ago in the depths where we are
now beginning, our eyes turned on the lofty nights
which he had attained. Circumstances were against
him, but he fought and conquered them.
he had won by strict integrity, physical temperance,
great seltcOntrOl; by having lofty aim, and never
Yielding until he had won the fight. Before he ded his
OF the strongest influences not the strongest
in the land.
Agreo or disagree with him you had to Acknowledge
that Men loved him who had never seen him. HIS
electric influence flashed Its presence over the land
senates vera influenced by him although he was not a
monarch bub the occupant OF an editors char-the
power behind the throne which Is greater than the
throne itself
He was loved and trusted by the whole people, even
when they most differed from bim. He had warm
place in the American heart and 20 years from now he
viii have still warmer place there.
