A Jersey paper tells very inter
esting story of a little boy in that
State. He was climbing an apple
tree, and when upon the topmost
limb he slipped and fell to the
ground. He was picked up and car
ried to the house in an insensible
condition. After watching by his
bedside through many weary hours,
his mother perceived signs of return
ing consciousness. Leaning over
him she asked if there was anything
she could do for him, now that he be-
gan to feel better. Should she bathe
his forehead, or change his pillow, or
fan him? Was there anything he
wanteda Openinghis eyes langudly,
and looking at her, the little sufferer
said: eyes, I want pair of pants
with pocket behindl" He got them.

As flock of sheep were going through
st. Louis recently, an old ram saw his
reflection in a plate-glass window, and
lowering his head made for it, giving it
an extra jump as he met his supposed
antagonist. Through the window into
the store he went, followed by the whole
flock, many of whom were badly cut by
the broken glass.

house to which we had sent them,
and wrote them a note of encourage
ment. This is the reply. (The letter
was found to be too heavy, soft could
not be enclosed this time.)
Our little convalescents are all
bright and happy. We have them all
at home now. They want to eat all
the time, but they are so good and
cheerful. We feel that they have
been given back to us as sacred
trust. 1 feared I might be stricken
down during our fearful trial, and am
surprised that I escaped and that
none of our Mission circle were taken.
God in mercy has spared us. Oh,
that we may do more than we have
ever done to advance His hngdoml
During the time of our trial the
sound of the heather sacrifices was
never out of our ears. There is a
Temple at the corner of our garden,
and we could see crowds of natives
sacrificing their goats and prostrat-
ing themselves before their idol. We
knew by this that the fearful pesti-
lence was in their village. Last
night we had prayer meeting in the
parlor of our Mission crcle-Mr. and
Mrs. Heron, Mr.. and Mrs. Woodside,
Miss Craig and myself. Mr.. Heron
led the meeting and made remarks
appropriate to our circumstances.
Oh, how we miss the social worship
at homel There is so much here to
deaden our spiritual Life.
Aug. 18th. I have had nice ride
on my horse this morning, and all
our children are well. We hope the
dreadful disease has left our Doom.
By the time this reaches you it will
be one year since I left home. How
time flies! j. A. N.

A Decisive Battle with the In
dianS.

SAN Francisco, October 5.-A dispatch
is just received from Governor Mccormick
of Arizona Territory, saying that the attack
of Colonel Mason on the Apache Mohaves is
the most important blow ever dealt the hos
tile Indians in that Territory. 1t is now
known that most of the murders and rob-
berries are to be charged to them, and that
at least two of the killed participated in the
massacre of the Loring party, near Wyck-
burg, in November A number of those
who lately left the Dale Greek reservation
were found among the slain.

whole thing hadn't been going stern fore
most ever since it was set afoat.

dropped Bishop Haven at Atlanta.
If he must leave Boston, where he is
best known, he ought to go to the

his enterprise and enthusiasm may be

The Galena Qn.) Gazette says: ''The
New York World sent correspondent here
about one month agoto visitallt the saloons of
Galena and ascertain if General Grant owed
them any whisky bills. While large ma
jority of our saloon-keepers are Democrats,
they all responded that Grant had never
owed them any liquor bills. So the World
incurred all this expense without any profit,
and the matter has never been alluded to in
its columns. The fact is, General Grant
never in his life drank a glass of liquor
from any bar in Galena."

Here, in thirteen strongly Democratic counties,
we have net loss in majority, Of 800 votes. Can
it be supposed that it was possible for the Cameron
ring to have imported and voted that number of re-
peaters in those counties? Hardly.
The real cause is well understood by every man of
average common sense, and attempts to cover it
up only deceive those who make them. 1t is vastly
better to admit the truth, and labor to apply an
available remedy. In those counties there are no
Liberal Republicans, and $3.50 Democrats refused to
vote the combination ticket. 1t was very perverse
and unreasonable in them thus to take the suIks,
because majority of their associates perpetrsted
folly at Baltimore.

THE THREE BELLS.
BY JOHN @. WHITTIER.

BY JOHN @. WHITTIER.
Beneath the low-hung night cloud
That raked her splintering mast
The good ship settled slowly,
The cruel leak gained fast.
Over the awful ocean
Her signal guns pealed out.
Dear Godi was that thy answer
From the horror round about?
A voice came down the wild wind,
"Hoi ship ahoy!" its cry:
"Our stout Three Bells of Glasgow
Shall stand till daylight by"
Hour after hour crept slowly,
Yet on the heaving swells
Tossed up and down the ship-lights,
The lights of the Three BeIlsI
And ship to ship made signals,
Man answered back to man,
While oft, to cheer and hearten,
The Three Bells nearer ran.
And the captain from her taffrail
Sent down his hopeful cry,
''Take hearth Hold on !" he shouted,
''The Three Bells shall stand by!"
All night across the waters
The tossing lights shone clear;
All night from reeling taffrail
The Three Bells sent her cheer.
And when the dreary watches
Of storm and darkness passed,
Just as the wreck lurched under,
All souls were saved at lastI
Sail on, Three Bells, forever,
In grateful memory sailI
Ring on, Three Bells of rescue,
Above the wave and galeI
AS thine, in night and tempest,
l hear the Masters cry,
And, tossing through the darkness,
The lights of God draw nighl

statement is as as follows: STEAMBOATS,
were proposed to Charles V. in 1913, by a
captain of the name of Rlasco Loyola. The
first trial of them succeeded at Barcelona !;
but envy and destruction defeated the hopes
of the inventor, although the King expressed
his satisfaction with the invention. Event
ually, the wars in which Charles was engaged
caused the discovery of Captain Loyola to
be wholly lost sight of. The ePRooEss-AEBAUx
respecting it are, however, deposited in the
archives of Simeneas; and 1 have in my
