Words OF Wisdom. i

In being angry we punish ourselves.
The only way to make friend is to
lie one. t' ~ t'sk
Men are like words when not prop
erly placed, they lose their value.
Let no one descend SO low asto con-
slider money to be the chief good
Men are never 80 ridiculous by the
qualities they possess as by those they
affect to possess.
"Liye on what you have live If you
can ON less do not borrow, either for
vanity or pleasure; the vanity, will end
in shame and the pleasure In regret.
Universal love is a glove without fin
gers which fits all hands alike, and none
Closely but true affection is like q glove
with fingers which fits one hand only
and sets close to that one. u"ti'fg
The reason why great men meet with
30 little pity or attachment, in adversely
vould seem to be this: The friends OF
a great man were made by his fortunes
his enemies by himself and revenge is
a much more punctual paymaster than
gratitude. ~ 'ii' -"

The SEQUEL to an ElOpement.

A tine.looking, middle.aged lady OF
Philadelphia recently called npon the
oyerseer of the poor at Newark, n. D.,
and told the following story: Eight
wears ago my daughter eloped with
married man named Giese, aud her
whereabouts was unable to ascertain
until a few days ago, when 1 was In.
formed she died in the poorhopse "

resulted in finding that the young lady
had died year ago at the hospital, and
at the time of her death Giese was an In.
mate of t q city prison on a charge o,
drunkenness. Further, that she had two
children. The eldest child was found al

German, residents of that city; the other
was found in the possession Ct q woman,
who had had the child since It was SIX
months old Git is now two years OF hge),
and implored the sverseer to permit her
to retain the baby, as she had become
much attached to it. Notwithstanding her

he was impatient to meet the dread de-
stroyer. On the 9th Of October the old
man took his way to High Bridge, and
walking to the centre gazed for time
over the parapet. The distance below
was nearly two hundred feet, but it
seemed to have no terrors for him. He
carefully laid his cap upon the stone,
and as carefully mounted and stood upon
the parapet, his white hair streaming in
the wind. A moment and he was over,
and splash below announced the re-
ception Of his corpse by the river.

and for living made children's toys.
He had 10 friends and made no acquaint-
ances, and the sole desire of his life
seemed to be alone. His business was a
good one, even during the financial
troubles, and after his death orders for
hundreds of dollars worth of toys were
found on files in bis rooms. His ives

New York Fashions.

The princesse dress, with waist and
skirt in one, is the popular style for
wedding dresses. Newer than this is the
empress dress with the brocaded back
and train, having side cores added to
the waist that extend upward to the neck,
while the plain satin or gros grain front
is made to represent a vest and apron
drapery. :.
The black silk house dresses are in
the new empress style, partly OF brocade
or Of embossed velvet, or else satin. Ii
they are entirely of silk they are made
dressy by having plastrons or vests and
sleeves Of jet or of clair de t'''e beads.
Embroidered gloves are osered, but
the refined choice is for plain, untrimmed
gloves without ornamental stitching ana
with the long wrists that make the hands
look slender. Those fastened by three
or four buttons are most used for the
street. Old-gold. .colored gloves are the
dressy choice for wearing with black and
dark dresses. Undressed kid gloves are
more fashionable than at any previous
season.
Bonnets are chosen with reference to
each dress, but there is more latitude
and less strict matching OF bonnet and
dress than formerly.
Coronet bonnets are suddenly re-
stored TO favor. The coronet Is very
high in the middle, very plain and very
close on the sides. The jet and clair de
lune coronets with dropping fringe on
the edge are very handsome tor black

Buckley's sister knew enough of Nor
monism to suspect who had murdered
her brother, and the tragedy preyed
upon her mind till she became lunatic
and one day destroyed her own life.
In the summer of 1853 one of the
wives of a Mormon, named Johnson, a
ranchman, fed from his home on horse
back, leaving the place early in the
morning. Word was sent to the city,
and Case and five other angels" were
detailed to overtake the fugitive and
bring her back. The woman had made
considerable trouble for the Church one
way and another, and it was the inten-
ton to put her out Of the way after she
had been recaptured. The "angels "
found her just at dark in the camp OF
four hunters, where she had taken
refuge about noon. A demand was made
for her, but the borderers refused to give
her up, having promised her that she
should be taken to one of the forts IN
Colorado. Arguments and threats were
of no avail, and the avengers drew of
and began an attack on the hunters.
They soon discovered, however, that
they had more than they could handle.
Two of them were killed and third
wounded. and when they drew off and
despatched messenger for reinforce
ments the hunters broke camp and made
q safe escape.

Bide a Wee, and Dinna Fret.

Is the road very dreary?
Patience yet
Rest will be sweeter if thou art aweary,
And after night oometh the morning CHEEKY.
Then bide wee, and dinna fret

Don't forget;
And though he's hidden, still the sun is shining
Coursge! instead Of tears and vain repining,
Just bide wee, and dinna fret
With toll and cares unending
Art beset2
Bethink thee, how The storms from heaven de-
scending
Snap tie stiff oak, but spare the willow bending
And bide wee, and dinna fret.
Grief sharper sting doth borrow
From regret
But yesterday is gone, and shall its sorrow
Unfit us for the present and the morrow?
Nay: bide wee, and dinna fret.
An over-snxious brooding
Doth beset
A host of fears and fantasies deluding;
Then, brother, lest these torments be intruding,
Just bide wee. and dinna fret.

A Robbers Wife Suing a Sheriff.

The wife of J. M. Berry, the Union
Pacific Railway robber killed by Sheriff
Glascock, Of Fayette county, Mo-, has
brought suit against that officer for S20,
coo damages. Sheriff Glascock, after the
wounded robber had been brought into
the town of Mexico, where he died,
stated that he first called upon Berry to
surrender, and only fred when he at
tempted to escape, thus committing an
excusable homicide by the fact that it
was committed In the lawful discharge OF
official duty. IT is stated that the real
fact is that Sheriff Glascock crept up on
Berry while he was asleep in the brush,
and fred both barrels of his gun without
calling on him to surrender. This state
ment is made the more plausible by the
significant circumstance that eighteen
buckshot entered the robbers leg just
above the knee, ranging upward, and
lodging in OF going out through the hlp,
thus showing that he must have been In
q recumbent position, with his feet
toward the sheriff when the gun
was discharged. 1t is furthermore stated
that the sheriff, and one or two OF his
posse admitted this to be true, and iusti-
fed the act by the fact that Berry was a
desperado of the most dangerous and
savage type ; that he had sworn never to
be taken alive, and that, being dead
shot, he would certainly have killed one
or more of his pursuers had he received
moments warning. 1t is also charged
against the sheriff that he permitted the
wounded robber to bleed to death and
that with timely medical assistance,
which was available, he would have un-
doubtedly recovered from his wounds.

Hotel Rents in New York.

Fully score of hotel failures have
occurred in New York since the panic,
writes New York correspondent.
Among the principal hotels which have
changed hands from this cause are the
st. James, the Astor House, the New
York, the Grand Union, the Winchester
and the Coleman. The Rossmore may
be added, with the explanation that the
lessee, Mr.. Leland, surrendered it to the
owner because he could not make it pay,
not in consequence of actual failure,
for he has not failed. The transfer OF
the Metropolitan and the Rossmore took
place on the same day. In almost every
instance of hotel failure within the time
named the chief cause has been exhorbl-
tant rent. Managers have tried to push
on under leases made at war figures, and
many have finally had to succumb. The
rents still paid by the principal hotels
are decidedly steep. The Fifth Avenue
Hotel property, including the Six stores
fronting on Broadway, brings an annual
rental of $500, 900. The rent Of the
hotel proper is about $4,000. The
rent of the stately Windsor, which had
just been brought up to paying point
when the owner, Mr.. DAILY, wandered of
to desolate spot near Cavalry cemetery,
and committed suicide, is 1926, 600. Next
to this in steepness was the rent of the
Metropolitan before the late reduction,
namely, $4,000. The proprietors OF
the st. Nicholas have been paying $780,
600, but I understand the figure has
lately been cut down somewhat. MIR.
Breslin pays $40, 900 for the handsome
Gilsey. The Lelands pay the same for
the Sturtevant, which, though not so
stylish in its structure, is considerably
larger than the Gilsey, and the Hoffman,
about the same size as the Gilsey, also
rents for $4,000. The New York and
the st. Denis are each $35, 600, and hall
a dozen others, including. the Coleman:
Albemarle, st. Cloud, Grand Central
and Continental, range from 800, GOO to
$50, 900.

A Wild Pigeon Roost in Missouri.

Timid and harmless animals become
formidable and even terrible when con-
gregated in great numbers. They take
no notice whatever of man, and In their
congregated capacity become his foe. A
herd Of buffalo on the plains is terror
in it's march drove of rats in North.
ern Europe attacks all living things that
come in its way, and even q flock OF
pigeons, if big enough, becomes great
nuisance, if not danger. A pigeon
roost is a big thing, and they have big
pigeon roost on the Auglaize river near
Dodson's camp ground, Camden county,
Missouri. 1t is ALI annual roost, and
disturbs the quiet Of the people OF the
section. The newspaper man finds 1t
difficult to edit and print his paper in a
pigeon roost. Millions of pigeons cover
the trees and sometimes break them
down. There is frightful confusion OF
noises in this. pigeon pandemonium-the
crashing of limbs, the roaring of multi.
tudinous pigeons, and the cracking OF
shot gums sweeping the birds down by
hundreds and thousands, all night long.
Nobody can sleep in such an uproar any
more.than they could amid the thunders
of a raging battle. Besides this, there
is a darkening of the air by the
birds in their fight, which makes
continual cloudy weather. But the peo-
pie of this pigeon roost are making the
best of the situation. The pigeon has
become a leading article Of commerce in
the country. Last year over 100000
pounds of pigeons were shipped from
Stoutland, and the pigeon yielL this year
promises to be as good. But everything
else stops in the pigeon -roostang season
except the newspapers.-&. Ls"fs DEM

A Sisters DeYotion.

Never have We been, called upon to
chronicle more heart-rending accident,
nor one which has enlisted more gen.
eral and genuine sympathy with the af.
fioted family, than that which occurred
at Union Mills on last Friday afternoon,
says recent issue of the Nicholasville
(Ky.) Jessdnaine Journal. Misses
Blackford, Misses Bourne and Charley
Bourne composeda a party at Mr.. Clai-
bourne Rutherford s; hat day. In the
morning some of the company attended
the protracted meeting in progress at
East Hickman, but they all met at the
dinner table, when one Of the young
ladies proposed to go to the the Touring
mill, stating that she bad never seen one
working. Consequently the party named
above, with Miss Julia and Miss Annie
Rutherford, went down to Steele l. Bro
naugh's mill. and Captain Steele, with
his usual urbanity, was showing them
around. They had been looking at the
bolting-cloths, and passed over some
shipstuff. Miss Annie Rutherford shook
her skirt to rid it of the dust which had
adhered to it, when it caught in q nitre
cog-wheel, about one foot from the floor,
which drew it into the machinery, and
there was similsr wheel about three
feet higher, in which her left arm was
caught and was taken clean off, together
with the flesh and bone off her breast.
Clinging to the shaft, her skirt fast in
the bottom wheels, she was whirled
round at the rate of thirty-four revolu-
tions per minute.
Frantic with excitement, Miss Julia
Rutherford rushed to her sisters assist
ance. Charley Bourne did his best to
keep her from the danger she was ex-
posing herself to, and at the same time
doing his utmost to e2tricate Annie, but
Julia persisted that she could not stand
to see her sister in, such place, and
putting her arms around her, had her
right arm taken off by the same wheel.
Annie's clothes were 80 twisted that it
was impossible to pull her away until
the engine was stopped by Captain
Steele, which took about one minute to
do, and Mr.. Samuel Gosney, perceiving
there was something wrong, instantly
lowered the stones. The scene now
baffied description. There were the cogs
filled with flesh and bones. An arm
lying on the floor, the glove still on the
hand, two lovely girls PROSTATE in their
blood, Charley Bourne with his left
thumb cut off, from which he has suf,
fered intensely, and was threatened with
lock-jaw, but is now probably out Of
danger. Mr.. James Bronaugh, Jr., took
Julia home in buggy, and Mr.. Steele
fixed Annie on board and presented
her to her distressed parents. Thus the
company who, few minutes before, were
happy and joyous, were plunged into
inexpressible grief by a shocking and
deplorable accident. Drs. Jasper,
Welch and Skllman have been indefati.
gable in their attendance on the suffer.
ers, and at last accounts they were I'M
proving.
Miss Annie did not rally from the eft.
fects of the shock for forty-eight hours.
but since reaction has taken place fully
she bids as fair to recover as Miss julia,
whose arm was amputased on Saturday.

JEHED, OR Holy WAR-From Con-
stantinople comes the report that
the Sultan has decided to raise the
standard Of Mahomet and issue the
proclamation Of the "Jehad," or the
Holy War. To ordinary readers tho
full significance of this announce
ment may not be clear The pro cla.
nation Of the "Jchad," is last re-
sort, and is only used when the ve..
ry existence of the faith Of ISLAM is
believed to be threatened. II con.
Germs not only the Mohammedan
population in the Sultan's immedi-
ate dominions, but the followers Of
the Prophet in every part Of tho
globe. To these tho proclamation
of the Sheik-ul-Islam comes as .
mandate from Mahomet bimself and
they will respond faithfully aud
promptly to the summons, leaving
all to fight for the faith.
II is worth while to note tho STAN
dard raised under these circumstan-
ces. 1t is called the banner of the
Prophet, and is black, about two
ellis wide, and was originally the
curtain of the chamber of Ayesha,
the favorite of A1ahomet. As the
Prophet lay on his death-bed in this
chamber his chief =. =, came to
take leave of him, al, he presented
them with the curt.a OF tue room
as a banner, looking upon which
they were to remember that thew
fought for Allah aud Mahomet AZ
terwards it became the custom Of
Caliphs, when they entered upon tho
campaign, to have this standard
the Sandsahok Scherif) borne be-
fore them. Still later il was settled
that the banner WAS 10 be raised on.
ly when the war in which the sui.
tans--in religion, the Caliphs-en-
gagged was entered upon in behalf
OF the faith. What gives this stand
ard its peculiar significance is the
belief that he who dies in its shadow
goes at once to the highest joys Of
Paradise.
1t is estimated that there are in
the world l50,OO0,OOO Moslems, OF
whom less than 100000 are in
Turkey, and about 75,O00.00O in
British India. 1t will thus DO seen
what vast army could be sum-
moned should the proclamation DO
resorted to. Thousands OF Mussul-
mans in India, Asia aud Africa, who
have received military training.
could be enrolled in the armies OF
the Sultan.
