The CITY HALL LIQUOR DEALER IN A
Fn-The temperance ladies besieged the
City Hall yesterday and tried their persuasive
powers upon the keeper, who has liquor
establishment in this piece of city property.
The keeper confessed it was not a paying
business, and said he had stopped it. 1.-THE
boys, he remarked, "didn't pony up" They
drank his pony brandy pretty lively, but did
not pay. 1t would be interesting to know
who were Charles customers-who of the
City Council or different departments con-
sumed in such lively manner his liquor
without paying for it. The keeper was
evidently little staggered by the earnest
and lady-like manner of the besiegers, and
offered to sell out the liquor he had left at
cost Though Charlie did not seem to have
any qualms of conscience about selling liquor
his Improbable customers and the appeal of
the ladies put him in fix.

The GRAIN RECEIVERS AND THE RAIL-
ROADS Yesterday a conference was held in
the Produce Exchange, in this city, between
the grain receivers and the representatives of
the railroad companies The meeting has been
looked forward to with some interest, and, as
was to be expected, both interests were we'll
represented The new rules of the Board of
Managers of the Produce Exchange were
discussed at length, and SO far have, with
some notifications, been approved. The
conference adjourned until the 2Sh of the
present month, when it is hoped that all
the differences between the receivers and the
railroads will be satisfactorily adjusted. The
rapid and easy transport of grain to the East
is one of the leading questions of the hour.
If the receivers and the railroads come to o
satisfactory agreement the community, as
well as themselves will reap the benefit.

country the merchant Sin pursuit of
gain" has wandered everywhere as
the avant-courier of science. The Holland
Land Purchase and the Hudson Bay Com
pany have done more to bring to light mys-
terious tracts of territory than all the ex-
plorers who were active during the time that
these companies held powerful sway. What
mas been true in this regard is true now the
merchant to-day prscedes the explorer.
Should we not then, utilize his knowledge
gained In close contact with unknown peo-
pies! Should not every man who goes out
IN pursuit Of gain do something also for
geographical knowledge2 We think so. It
would bs an easy matter for the Geographical
Society to put itself in communication with
all this class of travellers, and thus reveal
valuable information concerning the one
seventeenth portion of the world remaining
unknown If Maury could utilize the mer-
chant seamen the Geographical Society should
be able to utilize the merchant traveller.

the broad expanse of the Victoria Nyanza
for the first time the merchant traders from
Khartoom knew that in that basin was one of
the fountain-heads of the Nile. The Arabs
and Dongolawee Of Aboo Sout, famous
slavedealer of the Soudan, had often visited
not only the shores of the Victoria, but were
familiar with a long reach of the Albert
Nyanza, first seen by white man on Sir
Samuel Bakers journey of discovery when he
was accompanied by Lady Baker. The
traders who annually descended the Nile did
not think it of sufficient importance to
make any permanent record OF what
they saw, but accounts of tolerable accuracy
describing the entire lake region of Equatorial
Africa have been current in the Soudan since
the expedition of Mahomet Ali in 1924. If
we turn to India is it not the merchant who
has pushed everywhere before the explorer?
Central Asia furnishes like example of this
truth. Caravans routes now intersect coun-
tries never trod by O professional explorer. 1t
is well known that any traveller who wishes
to be successful, and above all to prosecute
scientific researches unframed by semi-bar-
barians is much better off when he goes with
goods to barter than when, notebook in hand,
he invades a mysterious country to gather q
harvest of hasty impressions. DIR. Schwein-
furth owes all of his eminent achievements to
the fact that he was attached to trading
party and it is To the members of Poncets
gang that he owes the greater part of the

AN AFFECTING SCENE,
A Family Made HaDuy By Governor NOyesI of
Ohio.

While an immense crowd of people
was collecting about the Ohio State
House to witness the inaugural ceremo-
nies, (for Il commenced to assemble early
in the day) an affecting incident was
taking place in the Executive Chamber,
of which there were but one or two eye
Witnesses. Hundreds Of guests had
called, and scores we're calling, to say
their goodbyes to Governor Noye-.
Among those who entered the chamber,
however, was an old mao, thin, wriukedi
pale and gray haired; and much bent by
age and manifest suffering. lie timidiy
asked TO see the Governor, who stepped
aside to u window with him. The old
man said he would have called before,
but had been sick. He came at that iate
hour TO make an appeal for the pardon
of an erring son, who had heen confined
in the pehitentiary for seven years, and
who had three more to stay. What is
the name of your son lh asked the
Governor. The old man gave II. Gov
ernor Noyes then, without making him
any definite reply, requested him to steI
into his private room and walt till ht
was at leisure.
The fact was, tho pardon had beer
granted early that morning, and the olc
mans daughter had already gone to CARR
| the pardon to her brother, and accom-
pany him from the penltentlary to thu
Governors office. In few moments tht
! liberated man arrived with his sister
neither expecting to lind the father there
and the father not dreaming that th'
pardon had already been granted. Ou'
can readily imagine the scene as the Gov
ernOr conducted the two TO his privat
room. The son flew to his father ani
embraced him, and then, 1lnging hi
arms around the Governors neck, GOV
cred his face with kisses. The old man
overcome by the great happiness of th
moment, sank into his chair, sobbing lik
"A child. There were no dry eyes in tina
room, and those who, few minute
later, were talking and chatting with til
retiring Governor in the reception room
little imagined 10 what Il touchingly pa
thetic scene he had been participant
The liberated man has wife aud chill
eight years old, sister, and aged par
ents. 1t will be pleasant reflection dur
ing his lifetime TO General Noyes that
was one of the last acts OF his executiv
power to fill one household with the sun
shine of happiness, and restore the be
loved one long separated from them VIII
had fearfully condOned for his crime.

A class four boys about sixteen years of
age each, In Lansing, whose tesIher was
absent were turned over 10 the tender
scrutiny of an old professor, who was
never loved nor liked by the class. 1t is
the practice in the school to appoint one
in each class treasurer, whose duty il was
to collect the pennies aud keep the rec
ords OF the class. The Professor handed
a small card to one of the boys saying,
81 appoint you treasure today" The
boy looked at the card, and, handing il
TO his classmate, said 'I pass" The
second boy also mnttered, 81 pass" on
receiving It as he turned II over 10 the
third. No. 3 said, 81 turn 1t down." and
handed 1t back to the last boy, who hand
ed II back to the teacher, remarking, 81

s0UANDERBD LIVES,


The fisherman wades In the surges,
The sailor sails over the sea;
The soldier steps bravely to battle;
The wOodman lays axe to the tree.
They are each OF the breed OF the heroes,
The manhood attempered ia strife;
Strong hands, that go lightly 10 labor
True hearts, that take comfort In life.
In each is the seed to replenish
The world with the gigOr 1t needs
The centre of honest affections,
The impulse to generous deeds.
But the shark drinks the blood OF the ilshes
The sailor is dropped IN the sea;
The soldier lies dead by his cannon;
The woodman is crushed by his tree.
Each prodigal life that is wasted
Iu many achievements unseen.
But lengthens the day OF the coward,
And strengthens the crafty and mean.

That the selfish profit may fnd
But God sees the lives that are squandered
