A 5 Sketch.

BY 0. CIV.
Twas long ago, aye many years ago,
they told me he was dying,
And if my eyes would look gain on him
Alive, must be flying;
moment wasted, and he might be gone
No farewell could be spoken,
The kind responsive eyes were closirs then
The tie would soon be broken.
lett my pillow, at the break OF day,
My ieet were light as wings,
And soon | stood beside my dyin. friend.
What other shadow brings
A chill SO sharp, SO deep IS thine, q Death!
His was the only face that welcomed ms,
With kindly recognition
All others here were strangers to me then,
| ielt my lone condition,
Uncertain wnst my destiny would be,
Whether TO make new friends
OF strangers, or to meet the cold response
That with polteness ends
We toO had parted and did not know
whittier his steps had wended.
And thought perhaps our pleasant intercourse
On Earth, forever ended.
The fond reunion, and the sweet surprise,
Alas, exchanged SO soon,
For Deaths unwelcome summons, and saw
His Night come down at Noon
When speech had failed him, Iremember well,
he took the faithful hand
OF her he loved, and one of mine, and held
Them fast, with sweet commune
OF earnest, lon-ir =, loving eyes, that said,
De KIM 10 ncE, huu tIue
To mel leave her in your friendly care,
For am almost through
She did not need my care, although my heart
Was loyal to the dead.
Another loved her. and the parted hand,
lie took and kindly led.
But what an nguish could have been like his,
That lovely picture lost
Amid the gathering mlsts that lay along
The river 10 he crossed.
The face TO him so sweet, so beautiful,
OF her who held his heart,
With whom, with such brief warning he must part.
Alas, how could they part
she brought his only child, little giIl;
Awhile the Father fingers,
And 0 how iondly did he seize and hold
The little dimpled fingers
She knew not ii was through the mists OF Death
The Father saw his child,
As she was won't to do. her hand in his.
She looked aud s~eetly smiled
lsee her in that dismal long ago,
While ones was hated breath,
Happy to catch ths clinging, lingering look,
Smile in the face Of Death
Was il an Angel using those sweet lips,
To wreath his smiles around,
To show us mortsls what they think Of Death
On Angel camping ground?
Now grown to womanhood, she cannot feel
The fadness of that hour,
Even n emory. wonder If,
In childhood, there is power
To hold the images OF loving ones
Although unconsciously,
That in the other lite, from faithless sense
The soul at liberty,
As one long buried, risen from the grave.

RUSSIAN SECTs. Many of the sectS have
persons among them whom they believe to
he Christ, incarnate for the second time, and
the Virgin. One sect was founded by n
peasant-soldier, Daniel Philipitch. about the
middle of the seventeenth century. and is
now strong in many parts of the empire.
Philipitch's doctrines as reported by Mr..
Hepworth Dixon, who has made Il special
study i'll Russia of secret and curious sects,
WERE first. II am God" second, There is
no other God" and third. There is nothing
new" He gave nine precepts to his follow
ers, which quote from Mr. Dixon's text;
Drink no wine. Remain where you are,
and what you are. Never marry. Never
swear, or name the devil. Attend no we'd
ding, christening, or other feast. Never steal.
Keep my doctrine secret. Love each other
and keep my laws. Believe in the Holy
Spirit"
Another soldier has recently established
new religion which is so secret that 1t has no
name, even among its disciples. He pre-
tended to be Christ, and chose woman for
NirGin-mother. The accounts given of this
sect represent its doctrines and practices to
be unlawful and blasphemous. The MEM
bers are said to insult the church in their
meetings and to treat sacred things with the
utmost ndignity; and yet when the authori-
who were arrested established by abundant evil
dence their perfectly good behavior, anu
proved even that they were in all respects
especially exemplary citizens and subjects;
that they paid their taxes, obeyed the law
performed their duties, lived sober lives, at
tended the services and participated In the
rites and ceremonies ofthe Orthodox Church,
went to confession regularly, partook OF the
sacraments, and conformed strictly to the
requirements of the church. Enough was
proved, however, 10 make it certain that
these men have IL secret religion of their own;
and an emissary of the police, who had at
tended their meetings, testified that they
Knocked the sacraments. spat upon icons,
and gave other expression of their contempt
tor the church, which in public they treated
with ostentatious respect and venerntion.
This sect also has Il Virgin ms well ms living

An INDIAN ROMANCE.


From The Omaha Herald.
A dark, swarthy looking individual
dressed IN semi.Indian garb, was at the
Union depot a few days ago making nu.
merous inquiries in very imperfect Eng
lish dialect concerning the name of G. g.
Gaskill, who left some portion of Eastern
Iowa for an overland trip to California
during the gold excitement of 1851. This
half wild fellow claimed that he was the
son of this Gaskill, and that he was about
five or six years old when his father set
out with his family for the overland wag-
on trip to California.
The family, two years later, were in
Arizona, and one night the Apache In.
dians made an attack upon them and car
ried him away, while the others made
their escape. Mr.. Gaskill has a very
vivid recollection of the battle, also the
long wagon trip from Iowa, while he has
little or no recollection of the home or
just where it was located. He was car
ried away by the Indians and lived with
them, sharing the same neglect and at
tention as their own children until he
grew to manhood. He describes his life
as being pleasant and one that he fully
enjoyed. He became acquainted with
the great Chiel Cochise and followed him
in many of his battles. He painted, tat
tooed and besmeared his skin like the
savages themselves, until now it has the
same coppery color. He describes Coch-
ise as being great warrior and most
wonderful savage.
He remand with these Indians until
about six years ago, when he was captur-
ed by the ComanChes in one of their bat
ties with the ApaChes, and with them he
led wandering existence, first as q cap
tive and afterwards as one of the tribe.
Last fall he became tired of such mode
of existence, and left the tribe, and max
ing his way towards the Pacific coast
made inquiries concerning his family,
but failed to learn anything of them. In
his wandering, nomadic life he had accu-
mulate considerable wealth in the form
of gold dust, and on the proceeds of this
he was travelling in search of his lost
home and friends. No one seemed to be
able to give him any information, and he
started on his way east to prosecute his
search in Iowa.

HOUSE.

Mr.. Payne moved to go to business on
the Speakers table in order to refer the
bill of the Joint Committee which had
come from the Senate to the Committee
on Counting the Electoral Vote.
The Clerk proceeded to read the bill in
extenso. After the reading of the bill
Mr. Payne stated that the bill, as passe d
by the Senate, was precisely the bill as
reported by the Committee in the first
place, He entered motion to re. COM
nit the bill in order to prevent amend
ments being offered to the bill.
Speech of McCrsry.
Mr.. McCrary, a member of the Joint
Committee, opened the debate. He said
that after a thorough. earnest, and anx-
ious consideration of the great question,
he, in common with other members of
the committee, had reached the conclu-
sion that the bill ought to pass. The
country was in the presence of very
great and very dangerous emergency.
The present was crisis in National af-
fairs which the fathers of the Republic
had foreseen in 1900, and which, at vari-
GUS periods in the Nations history, great
statesmen had foreseen and had decided.
The country on several occasions had
reached a point where votes for Presi-
dent were to be counted when disputes
had existed as to the legality of some of
these votes. In all these instances when
disputes had arisen, statesmen had COM
mented on the danger which woald
threaten the very existence of the Gov!
ernment If an occasion should arise in
which disputed votes would be decisive
Of the result. This had been regarded as
one of the greatest dangers to which the
country could be subjected. The country
was confronted not only with great and

The country; by Others who believe that It would lead
disturbance OF the peace; by yet others, who are

who believe that the democratic party has just now
