Relics.
nY VIM. WINTER.


The viclets that you gave are dead
They could not bear the loss of you;
The spirit of the rose has fled
It loved you and it's love was true:
Back to your lips that spirit flies.
To bask beneath your radiant eyes.
Only the ashes bade with me-
The ashes of the ruined flowers
Types of rapture not to be-;
Sad relics OF hewildering hours:
Poor, frail, forlerr, aud piteous shows
OF Grant passions wasted woes.
He grandly loves who loves in vain!
These withered flowers that lesson teach:
They suffered they did not complain;
Their life was love too great for speech:
In silent pride their fate they bore:
They loved, they grieved; they dled--no more.
Far off the purple banners fare,
Beneath the golden morning spread;
know what queen is worshiping there,
What laurels wreath her lovely head. -, a
Her name is sacred in my thought,
And sacred be the grief she brought! - -
For since Isaw that glorious face,
And heard the music OF that voice,
Much beauty's fallen to disgracs ard
That used to make my heart rejoice:
And rose and violet ne'er can be
The same that once they we're to me.
-tIdla1y for December.

The Army.

The annual report of Gen. Sherman,
after stating the geographical limits Of
various commands, says: The aggregate
strength of the line of the army, ac-
cording to the last reports re-
ceived, is 1,540 officers, and, "a, OIL en-
listed men, made up as follows: Five
regiments of artillery, 78O officers,
1854 men; ten regiments of cavalry,
422 officers, 1906 men; twenty-five
regiments of infantry, 848 officers,
1000 men; available recruits, hos
pital stewards, ordnance sergeants, ETC.,
ETC., 1921. During the past winter the
troops in the Department of the Mis-
souri, and Texas were employed in an
arduous and severe winter campaign
against the Kiowa, Cheyenne and Com
anche Indians on the borders of the
Staked Plains, that have for years been
engaged in depredations on the Texss
and Kansas frontiers, resulting in their
disarmament and subsection to author
ity. If the military commanders can
have control over the supplies needed
by these Indiens, as they now have over
their persons, I am convinced by re-
cent visit that a condition of peace can
be maintained. b saegsQ4 l7s

A Practical ParSOn.

A Presbyterian divine of Indian
apolis, on entering a railway train to
return home from Knightstown, noticed
q party Of monte men who were at work
on traveller who evidently had never
heard Of such thing as the three-card
game and was much interested in it.
OF course, it was short time until he
had given up all his money, ten dol
lar bill, to the sharpers. This rather
CALLED the doctor, and after studying q
few moment he took the swindled per-
sonage and started in search Of them,
they having gone into another car.
Putting on as worldly look as posi-
BILE, the ministerial gentleman, demand
ed that the money be returned, and in
sisted despite their objection, that he
knew just what he was about, and would
endeavor to make things exceedingly
lively, with the aid Of the police, upon
the arrival of the train in the city, UNI
less his demand was complied with.
Finding the doctor had sssand,'''' and
would do as he said, they finals gave
up the money, to the great delight of
the rural gentleman. oss.a97 s'

the king we'll knew how to make it, au-
thorized Lauzun to conduct the queen
to Versailles, restoring him at the same
time the grdnde e,atree. This
return was complete and final triumph.
The intimate counsellor of the Stuarts
could not fail to regain the confidence
of Louis, who was their sworn protector
and ally. The depth of his views and
the hardihood of his propositions rem
dered him indispensable. The king
acknowledged that his courage and
sagacity were necessary to him. and
Lauzun found himself at last so safely
anchored at court that his displacement
was no longer possible.

death of the grand monarque, the ladies
of the court, during their drives in the

A Clever Ruse.

A Paris paper says: A gentleman
was seated before the Cafe Richie, when
young artist passed with companion.
II will bet you," said the artist to his
friend, 81 will drink that gentleman's
coffee, and he will thank me for doing
it. You are crazy" "You viii
see.' "You know him then" "Come
and see the proceeding for yourself. .
Very solemnly they approached the
gentlemen. "Sir, said the artist. $
am an inspector of the Board of Health.
Ii I ask for coffee they will give me
without doubt very good cup, for they
know me. You, sir, whom they do not
know, are served like the rest of the
world. Will you permit me to taste
your coffee?" Certainly" said the
gentleman. "This is really good. The
government has great care over the
people. The police cannot be too
watchful over the public health" The
artist drank the coffee, and having fin
ished it said politely, They do Things
properly at this cafe; this is excellent
coffee. He bowed, and left the gen
tleman to pay for the coffee he had not
had, but profoundly grateful for the
care OF the government.

Around the Lakes and Down the IL
linOiS and Mississippi.

The beautiful little steam yacht Ari-
adne, from Erie, Pa, arrived at Alton
this morning, after voyage of about
1000 miles, passing through Lake Erie,
Huron, and Michigan, and by the I'LL
nois River route, on its way to New
Orleans. This little craft was built at
Buffalo, New York., at cost of $14,-
700. Mr.. Arthur Conway, the princi-
pal owner, accompanies the yacht on
her present voyage, having started from
Erie, Oct. 4. In making the voyage of
Lake Michigan they encountered Sc
we're storm and gale, lasting some four
days. Under the guidance Of Capt.
Downe, an old lake tar, the boat came
through all right, although the force
of the storm carried away the doors and
flooded the cabin and engine-room, the
water being at one time within four
inches of the fires. The Ariadne left
Chicago last Sunday, Oct. 80, arriving
at Alton this morning, whence after
coaling up and putting things to rights,
she will go to st. Louis, and then to
New Orleans to spend the winter. Her
dimensions are sixty-two feet in length,
and twelve feet six inches width of beam.
She has an iron hull, and the upper
portion is constructed of solid oak
frame, panelled with birds eye maple.
She was constructed as pleasure yacht,
and is fitted up in an elegant manner,
the ladies' parlor and boudoir having all
the modern conveniences. During the
winter, Mr.. Conway informs us. he will
run her as pleasure boat at New Or
leans, and return to the lakes when spring
opens, making the round trip, about
5000 miles.-Altoaa Telegraph, Nov. 3.

The Huguenots in America.


On the revocation of the Edict of
Nantes in 1856, at least 500, Hugue-
nots took refuge in foreign countries.
From this time, for many years, their
cause was completely broken in France.
In 1705 there was not single organ
lied congregation of Huguenots left in
all France. So early as 1866, Coligni
attempted but without success, to estab-
lished Huguenot colony in Brazil. In
1862 he sent out two ships under the
command of Jean Ribault, on voyage
of exploration to Florida, but the at
tempt to establish colony was unsuc-
cessful. Many departed for North
America even before the revocation of
the Edict of Nantes. Some settled in
and around New Amsterdam, now New
York where their family names are FREE
quent. Others found homes in Massa-
chnsetts, Rhode Island, and Virginia.
But South Carolina was their favorite
resting place, and large number of
the foremost families in that state are
of Huguenot origin. This class of i'm
migrants has contributed, in proportion
to its numbers, vast share to the Gull
ture and prosperity of the United
States. Wherever they settled they
were noted for severe morality, great
charity, and politeness and elegance of
manners. OF seven presidents who di-
rected the deliberations of the Congress
OF Philadelphia during the Revolution,
three, Henry Laurens, John Jay, and
Elias Boudinot, were of Huguenot par
entage. -Appteton's american Cuc1o-
