intelligent lady was engaged to be married.
Learning that her affianced was in the habit of
drinking, she kindly demonstrated with hin, and
received his solemn promise to abandon the use
of liquor. She believed him, and appointed the
wedding day.
The gentleman continued to visit his BRIDE

she, misled by her trust in his word Of honor.

side before the clergyman who was TO marry
them. His tell-tale breath. as he turned toward
her, betrayed that he had been drinking.
There was moment wherein to decide, for
the clergyman had began the marriage service.

Wages i'm Germany.

The United States Department of State has
received from their Consul at Bremen very full
report on labor and wages in his district For
agricultural labor the pay varies greatly, accord
ing to the proximity to or remoteness from
manufacturing centres, and ranges from 56 cents
a day in the neighborhood Of Bremen. to 81 cents
a day in the Lower Rhine Valley, and as low as
Is cents in parts of Siesia. At Bremen, Gre
field and Dusseldorf, carpenters, coppersmiths,
plumbers, machinists and wagonsmiths earn from
81 to IS cents daily saddlers and shoemakers
from AZ TO % cents daily, bakers and brewers.

to 81 20 week farm hands are paid S10I TO
22l5 yearly. with maintenance railway laborers
from Sc to So cents per day, and as high as 90
cents daily for piece work on tunnels; silk
weavers can earn from S2.l5 TO $685. a week
per loom; factory women. S2l5. and children,
81 a week. Business and wages are very low.
In good times wages are so per cent. higher
The cost of the necessaries of life has increased
some 30 per cent. in thirteen years, although
now it is but little higher than FIVE years ago.
A man and wife, with two or three children. can
live in two or three rooms in poor and CON-
fortress manner for 1913 year, and to support
such 40 establishment all the members have to
work ten or twelve hours daily. For family
OF six persons the cost is about 81 week-an
amount that few families can earn, as the de-
preston Of trade and the reduction Of time al
lows few to do a full weeks work, although
wages are nominally a tride higher than five
years ago. The state of trade is deplorable

The Danger ofLerter-SVritins.

In all affairs outside Off friendly interchange
of epistles or straightforward business transact
tons, letters are dangerous things. In love and
politics they have before now proved particularly
disastrous. Years after they are written, and
their existence forgotten, they will ofteDtimes
arise 10 confront .heir author. either to vindicate
bis character or bring him to shame. The rep
utation Of life time has been blasted by single
written page Its verify may be denied, but
where the signature is lagible and the cblro-
graphy recognized. there is no way to avoid the
responsibility, which an illadvised commanica-
ton entails.
Martin Van Buren, had discreet IDEAS on this
head He said he would rather walk ten miles
to reveal secret orally. than trust to the easier
plan of committing his thoughts to paper. A
man NAV deliver himself by speech TO a half
dozen witnesses, and no two OF the number in
terprsk exactly alike. This leaves room for dis
pute where prevarication is to the purpose but
written language admits of only one cOnstruc-
ton, and he who puts pen to paper should do 1t
IN such manner as to have no fears OF bis writ
ten matter ever rising up against him.
The remarks here made have broad signh-
canoe, and the reader can make the application
TO many instances within his own memory, not
emitting some of the events of recent occur
renee. Decidedly, the man who has moral
obhquty should abstain from writing letters on
dangerous subjects.

Death of Cardinal Cullen.

Dublin October 24.-Paul, Cardinal Cullen,
deceased preate occupied prominent position
IN the Catholic hierarchy in Ireland, and his in
huence upon Roman Church politics in that
country was strongly marked Paul Cullen was
the son of a respectable farmer who resided a
short distance from the town of Carlow in the
county of the same name. He was born April
q, 1903. For long term of years he remained
in Sapienza College, Rome. where he finished
his course, ultimately becoming one of Its pro-
fessors and its rector vacancy occurring in
the Archbishoprc of Armagh, he was, against
the will of the priests, transferred thlther by the
Pope. Having spent the better part of his life
in the atmosphere of the Vatican, he bad be-
come more papal than the very Pope His ad-
vancement TO the See of Dublin. which took
place 10 few years, did not change his DISPOSE
ton, but only gave him a wider field of action.
From the outset of his career he set himself de-
terminedly against the National or Young Ire
land party, and lie exhausted his coplous powers
of vituperation in anathemizing its leaders, In
private life he was remarkably simple and unos-
tentatious. dis charity and care for the poor
we're great and untiring. His moral character
was without stain or reproaCh. He could handle
the pen with considerable power but as a
preacher he was far below even mediOcrity. His
successor in all probability. will be Bishop Nc
Cabe, who was appointed his coadjutor some
years ago. In many particulars the dead Carii-
nal was remarkable prelae, and it may fairly be
said that his faults were those of churchman
and his virtues those of a man.

The LABOR OF WRIrING.-rhe Boston Tran
script says: - 1t does seem as though some
thing might be done to lessen the labor Of writ
ing. In nearly every other kind of work
invention has stepped in to relieve the human
hand but in writing. the old fashioned gray
goose quill still holds the field, gold aud steel
pens being but substitutes. and poor ones at
that. To be sure there is the type writer, well
suited for many purposes, but it is noisy, nerve
rasping affair and besides it is bulky and heavy,
and not to be carried about. Shorthand comes
nearer solution, because so much can be ex-
pressed with little labor and 10 small space, but
no two writers have exactly the same system,
and it not unfrequently happens that slenO-
grapher's notes are Ineligible to no one but
himself. But something has got to be done to
relieve those whose brain work is quite sufficient
without the superadded manual labor"

The TURoUoIs.-The beautiful gem known as
the turquois is so celebrated for its peculiar tint
of blue that it has given descriptive name to
that soft rich color known as tnrquois blue.
Yet, though so lovely, the color is not perma-
nent, but changes and fades out by age and ex-
posure to the light. 1t is said that the color can
be restored by keeping the gem for long time
in the dark. There are two kinds of the tor
quos stone, known as the Oriental and the Occi-
dental turquois. The former is the best aud has
the most permanent color. 1t is found in Tur-
key and Persia, also in Siberia. and has differ
ent chemical composition from the latter. The
occidental turquois is found in Lower Languedoc,
10 the southeast OF France of France and is a
fossil ivory. colored with the phosphate of iron.
The one is tri-phosphate of iron. The other
is tr-phosphaie of alumina, and derives it's
color from the oxides of iron and copper Truly

A BUSINESS QUEEY.-Queen Louise of Den
mark is quite AN expert IN finding a market for
her children Since the Prussians have been
eating INTO his territory, the poor blind King
Christian has been suffering with severe strain
on his royal purse, and it therefore becomes the
duty of his good wife to see that the princes aud
princesses are we'll bestowed. So far she has
done pretty well. One of her sons espoused the
eldest daughter of the King of Sweden her sec
ond son, George obtained Olga, the Grand
Duchess of Russia, and Is now King of Greece !;
Alexandra, her eldest daughter, lie Princess of
Wales, and Ddgmar the second, wife of the
Czarowitch of Russia, so that both the eldest
daughters are in a fair way to sit on thrones be-
fore many years ave passed. The latest accom-
plshment of the keen old Queen has been the
arranged nuptials between her young daughter
1hyra and the Prince Louis Napoleon. The
probability of her reclining on throne is rather
more remote, but the ex. Empress Eugene has
managed to scrape together about SO 100000
from the wreck of her fortunes, and will be able
to endow the Princess in style. The old Queen
has only one thing more to live for namely, the
disposition of young Prince Waldemar aged
twenty, and this done, she will eel like taking a

If the colOred men are wise, they will try
to link themselves by hooks of steel to the
white men. The best friends of colored men
are the old Shareholders. / will make pre-
diction to you now, and though 1 may not
live to see it fulfilled, many of you will. 1t
is this that the time will come when North
! ern Republicans will want to take away from
you the right of voting, and those who will
rise up to save you and defend your rights,
will be the white men of the South. They
will defend your right to vote because it gives
to the South infinitely more power than we
ever had before. 1t gives lis thirty-tive more
votes in Congress and thirty-fve more votes in
eecting Democratic President ; and do you
suppose men are such fools as to give up that
right No not if the colored man shows
himself worthy of the boon.
I have said that the time will come when
the colored man will join with the white man
simply because their interests are Identical,
because they inhabit the same soil, and the
same sky bends over them, and the prediction
is being verified. Any man who looked be-
yond the mere question of the hour: would
have seen that the time would come when this
violent condition of things, this upsetting OF
all the theories under which we have lived,
would be rectifed, and the races which were
living in a common country, would have to
work for the good of that common country. |
would give them every opportunity for educa-
tion, would help them and encourage them to
come into the Democratic ranks. They .can-
not remain Republicans, and yet vote in the
Democratic primary elections, as they wished
to do here few days ago; but if they will
come in as Democrats and vote as such, they
will be welcomed, and would treat them not
only with justice, but us a Democrat l would
treat them with Kindness, generosity and mag
nanimty, and try to show to them that we
are the best friends they can find.
