Sorrow by the Wayside.

A FAMILY from Southern Kansas, con-
sisting of a husband, wife and three chill
dren, passed through this city in a
covered wagon yesterday afternoon, and
the following sad chapter in their history
was related by the man.; He stated that
they left Kansas on the 1st of March, with
the intention of joining a number of fam
lilies, formerly from Kansas, who are now
living in Brown County. They travelled
rapidly, and met with no mishaps until
last Sunday morning, when their little
babe, aged about eighteen months, was
sud ienly taken i'll and died. The grief
of the poor mother on the death OF her
child knew no bounds; in fact, she be-
came temporarily insane, and when her
husband wished to bury the body of the
infant she clutched it wildly in her arms
and fled from him and hid herself in the
woods, where she remained over night
alone with the corpse. 1t was not until
nearly noon on the following day that he
finally found her. She was so completely
exhausted by that time hat he had but
little difficulty in takirg her back to he
wagon. She was induced to take some
nourisnment, and o after fell asleep.
While she lay sleeping the little corpse
was placed in a roughly-constructed box,
and the father and children buried it
under a live-oak tree by the roadside. The
mother slept several hours, and awoke
with her mind restored. She assisted her
husband in building a fence around the
lone little grave, and then, with many
backward chances, the afflicted family
pursued their weary journey.-W aco

Lieut.. CamerOn's African Discoveries.

LIEUT.. CAMERON, who performed the
great feat of crossing Africa from Zanzi-
bar to the western coast, which he reached
only toward the end of last year, after a
long disappearance in the center of Africa,
was entertained recently in the Liverpool
Town Hall, where he gave some account
of his journey. He is very confident that
the river which drains Lake T~anganyika
is 10 other than the Congo, though he
had not been able to trace it quite through
out its course; but his most remarkable
statement was this-that the Congo and
the Zambesi could be Joined by a canal not
more han thirty miles in length, so that
in that way-barrlng rapids-water com
munication could be established between
the east and west coasts of that wide con-
tinent. He spoke, too, Of the riches of
the interior as "unspeakably great" and
thought that the Highlands Of the water
courses of Benguela on this side OF
Tanganyika, would be a great center of
African civilization. Clearly the time
may come when the Nile, the Congo and
the Zambesi will all be united by the arti-
fetal connection Of their head waters

Read Your Bible Daily.

TIE celebrated painter, Benjamin
Robert Hayden, gave the following adj
mirable advice to his son at a very criti-
cal time of his life: You are quite
right to read history; make yourself
master o fthe histories of Greece and Rome.
The English people are in many respects
not unlike the Athenians without their
art, and like the Romans without their
profligacv. Read your Bible daily.
There is no more interesting book in the
world, and it is becoming more necessary
to read and study it, because I already
perceive a tendency among our scientific
men, in all their pride of knowledge and
what they call discovery, to set the Bible
aside as an oriental legend. Do not be-
lieve them. The Mosaic account of the
creation is the most simple and the most
natural, and will be found, you may rely
on it, confirmed by science, when science
has got down to the real facts. Generali-
cation, founded on our present knowledge
of the laws of nature, is the very thing
which our present acquaintance with
those laws does not justify. l am con-
vinced that no thoroughly established and
settled theory will be found to contradict
the truths revealed in the Bible. But you
are too young yet for me to enter further
on the subject. l only tell you of it to put
you on your guard. You will find many
men, old and grown-up men, who will
laugh at the Bible. DON'T believe them.
Mathematics are all very well; but the
di~fferential calculus, my dear boy, can
never prove or disprove the existence Of
God. Read your Bible, do your duty,
and leave the rest to God"

That Mare.

"No, she amt the handsomest critter
that ever lived, l du suppose" said Uncle
Reuben, running his long, thin fingers
through his shaggy locks, /" but l will de-
clare, if ever there was a beast to go as if
she were follered, and mind her own
business on the road, she will beat the
Dutch. She amt one of your new.
tangled, fancy-blooded coots nuther, for |
raised her myself, and l know. Butshell
go, l tell you, and if you'll be careful on
her III let We take her jest this once"
We felt honored. Here we had come
up to the Franconia Mountains tie first
time in years, and had left the city with
the lightest heart and brightest anticlpa-
tions. They were now to be realized.
Early spring was the season., and trout
was the object of our visit. We had pro-
vided ourselves with every conceivable
necessary of fishing paraphernalia, and
all we now desired was a horse to take
us to mad River" which plunges and
foams, sparkles and gurgles, dashes and
splashes, its brilliant, beautiful way,
down toward the Merrimac, from the
fastncss Of Black Mountain, fifteen miles
away.
We looked at the mare as she stood
with her muzzle thrust through the bars,
her winter coat half on, her fetlocks
dragging in the mud, her tail locked half
way, her name at loose ends, and several
CALLED places on her sides and neck, in
dicative OF some possible toughness in the
harness or thills. But we felt honored.
let even his nephews drive his horses. We
doubted in our hearts that the mare could
go: SO, as the old fellow said, but we
were glad to get any mag" which would
jog us comfortably and safely along TO the
fishing ground.
eye amt goin' alone, be ye?" said
Aunt Sally, as that mare and l stood in
the sup country" open wagon; l ar
ranging my tackle" and she with her
nose about to touch the earth, her eyes
half shut, and one hind foot a tip-toe to
rest her leg, before she had Travelled a rod.
"If We go alone, I'm afraid somethin'll
happen to ye." "Oh, don't worry"
said we, smilingly, "the mare don't look
very lively" "She is, though" an.
swered Uncle Reuben, and ye'd better
keep a pretty taut rein On her. Good
luck to ye!" as we finally tiourished the
whip, and "she" slowly logged out Of
the yard.
That mare had a queer step. She went
as if she was half cat. She stole along
almost without a sound. Slowly she went
and silently. We enjoyed trying to hear
her feet. In spite Of the uphill, rocky,
d%eep-rutted roads, which in this unsettled
season were sometimes "gouged' almost
halt across the way, we could hardly hear
a footstep on the gravel. She had no gait
at all. She had not ever two. If she
had any at all, it was a covered, multi
piled, myriad-mannered affair, which was
one thing and ten other things all at once.

Incendiarism in the United States.

THE report of the Committee on Incen-
diarism and Arson, recently presented to
the National Board of Fire Underwriters,
in New York, shows that during the past
year at least thirty-five per cent. of the
number of fires were caused by incendia-
ries, while fully fifty-ive per cent. of the
property destroyed was lost by the same
cause. The report recommended the offer
ing of rewards for the arrest and convic-
ton of inccndiaries. Fires for the year
were 3,946, and were classed as follows:
Defects, S6S; matches, pa; spontaneous,
100; accidental, SIT; carelessness, TT;
miscellaneous, 343; unknown, 461; incen-
diary, and supposed incendiary, 1893;
petroleum, in all its forms, 30S. Defect
i've iues and foul chimneys cause daily
fires.
The report of the Committee on Fire
Department, Fire Patrol and Water Sup.
ply recommended the establishment of fire
patrols in every city, and thai they should
be partly sustained and supported by the
cities where they were located. New
York city had not got sufficient water.
supply for its protection in case of emer-
gency. Chicago was credited with having
the best Fire Department.

A Burning Rock.

THE family of Mr.. J. G. Freeland, who
lives seven miles from this city, on the
North Carolina railroad. bore witness, on
Friday last about midday, to a singular
sight. Some member of the family was
standing on the porch when, casting his
eye forward, he saw a bright light, of an
egg shape, spring up from the ground
about 200 yards from the house, on a
small eminence close to the railroad.
He called the attention of the other men,
bers of the family to the sight, and they
watched it until it reached the size of a
half bushel measure. After burning this
way for a while the light suddenly went
out, and those who had seen il ran to the
spot where it had been seen. There they
found a rock, which, as they could tell
from one side of it, was a white flint. II
was very black on one side, and was
too hot to be handled at first. When il
had cooled it was taken up and broken
readily in two. 1t was found very brittle,
and could be taken in the hand and
mashed up as can a piece of charcoal.
The facts are u~ndeniable, and cal be cas-
lily established. There are, we believe,
similar instances on record, and the burn.
ing is said to be caused by gaseous exha-
lations from earth which lies above gold
deposits. IN. CO Observer.

Unnatural Parents.

UNNATURAL parents are not so rare as
human nature would desire, but it is still
rare to meet with such a couple of mon
sters as have just figured before the
Mayenne Assizes. NJ. Hacques and his
wife had the charge of an estate at Laval.
They had been married some years, and
possessed four children-two girls, the
elder, Marie, aged six, and two boys,
Auguste and Constant, aged respectively
three and four. On the 25th of Septem-
Der last Hacques went to the Police Com
missary, and said that some gypsies had
robbed his money chest and stolen his two
sons from the house during the absence of
himself and wife in the fields. The gen
darmes were at nee put on the search,
but no trace of the gypsies or the children
could be found. Suddenly one of the
gendarmes thought Of a deep well which
lies in a secluded corner of the estate, but
HacQues contended it was useless to go
there, as it was not at all likely the gypsies
had drowned his sons. The gendarme,
however, smelt a rat, and on arriving at
the well the bodies Of the poor little
victims were discovered at the bottom.
The police were convinced the boys had
been murdered by their parents in order
to reduce the family expenses, the father
having often complained of his boys
costing him tso much" The chief wit
ness against the prisoners was their eldest
daughter Marie. Here is the child's ex-
brothers, Eyes; they were drowned in
