WAKE MoNEY.-A good-looking Irish
man, stopping at hotel to warm himself,
inquired of the landlord, "What was the
news" The landlord, disposed to run
upon him, replied, They say the devil is
dead" "An' sure" says Pat, "that's news
indade." Shortly after he went to the bar,
laid down some coppers, and resumed his
seat. The landlord, always ready for a
customer, asked him what he would take.
"Nothing at ALL" said Pat.
"Why, then, did you put this money
here2" "An' sure, sir, it's the custom in
me own country, when a chap loses his
daddy, to give him few coppers to help
pay for the wake"

Source of Personal Beauty.

A beautigul person is the natural
form of beautiful soul. The mind
builds its own house The soul takes
precedence of the body. and shapes the
body to its own likeness. A vacant
mind takes all the meaning out of the
fairest face. A sensual disposition de-
forms the handsomest features. A
cold, selfish heart shrivels and distorts
the best looks. A mean, grovelling
spirit takes all the dignity out of the
figure aud oil the character out of the
countenance. A christian hatred trans
forms the most beautiful lineaments
into an image of uglness. 1t is as i'm
possible to preserve good looks with a
brood of bad passions feeding on the
blood, set of low loves tramping
through the heart, and selfish, dis
dslnful spirit enthrOned in the will,
as to preserve the beauty of an elegant
mansion with litter of swine in the
basement, tribe of gypsies in the par
lor, and owls and vultures in the upper
part Badness and beauty will no more
keep company great while than
poison will coDsort with health, or an
elegant carving survive the furnace
fire. There ia no sculptor like the
mind. There is nothing that so refines,
polishes and ennobles faces and minds
as the constant presence of great
thoughts. The man who lives in the
region of ideas. moonbesms though they
be, becomes idealized. There are no
arts, no gymnastics. no cosmetics which
can contribute a tithe so much to the
dignity. the strength, the ennobling Of
mans looks as a great purpose. a
high determination. noble principle,
an unQuenchable enthusiasm. But
more powerful still than any of these
as a beautifyer of the person is the
over mastering purpose and pervading
disposition of kindness of the heart.
Affection is the organizing force in the
human constitution. Woman is fairer
than mau because she has more affec-
ton than man. LONELINESS is the out
side of love. Kindness. sweetness, good
will. prevailing desire ann determina-
tion to make others happy. make the
body q temple of the Holy Ghost The
soul that is full of pure and generous
affections fashions the features into
its own angelic likeness, as the rose by
inherent impulse grows in grace and
blossoms into loveliness which art can
not equal There is nothing on earth
which so quickly and perfectly beauti-
fes face, transfigures personality,
refines exalts, irradiates with heavens
own impress of loveliness, as pervad-
ing. prevailing kindness of heart. The
angels are beautiful because they are
good, ami God is beauty because he is
love.-H0me Journal.

A Rolling Stone

"a rolling stone gathers TO moss"
Is an adage that's trite yet most true;
'Tis on boulders firm fixed on their base
That the soft, verdant substance we
view.
The proverb is one all should heed
A wiser 'twould be hard to find
But they who are starting in life,
Should especially bear it in mind.
Men who constantly change their pur-
suits,
Are most commonly those who COM
plain
That though they have sought fortune
long.
They ever have sought her in vain.
When the fact 10 that with every
change,
Their backs they have turned on
the dame
So. instead of her being in fault,
With them alone lies all the blame
The very touchslone of success
Is persistence in enc fixed career;
Prosperity's port you'll ne'er reach,
If hither and thither you steer.
IT'S FAR better a straight course to
keep,
Than to ana fro aimlessly toss
Recollect, if you're tempted to veer,
That "A rolling stone gathers no

RHETORIC, in all places, is a big
thing. A writer the other day went
into a newspaper office and said, I've
GOT an article on Mahomet for some
paper that spells it that way" He
was Immediately kicked down stairs,
for he had gone into a Mohamet Office.
Then he climbed the stairs into a
Mahommed Office, and was let out ON
the tire-escape gently but positively.
Next he struck a magazine where the
proof readers were partisons OF the Ola
school of Muhammed, and he went sad
ly away. One man whom he met on
the stairs of q religious but practical
journal informed that Mehsmet was
the style there. An hour afterwards
he was seen to be let down the coal
hole of a Mohammed establishment.

LICENSING GAMBLING.

One ofour contemporaries in it's yesterdays af-
ternoon edition contained funny report from
the City Hall upon this subject. The facts of
the case are that Senator Grover, who is our
Assistant City Attorney, after the report made by
tho last Grand Jury, undertook to inquire into
the matter, TO ascertain whether It would be ex-
pedent TO license gambling in this state (rstber
than allow It TO be praotioed olaudestinely),
thereby securing certain amount OF adj
tienal revenue to the oity aud State, and Hena-
tor Grover had an interview with the Mayor
yesterday on The subjeet.
A TO the members of the police force That he
had requested TO call on bin, his intention was
not TO obtain from them their views las the rs.
port In The paper mentioned would imply about
~ milling houses. but TO ascertain, beyond ques-
lion, whether they bad any legal proofs in their
session to establish the fact that any particu
lar persons had been engaged in gambling In gio-
Ia tion Of the law. Further than this his inqdiry
did not extend.

The United States Circuit Court was crowded

DsrralI contest in Congress. quite cause ceebre.
H. has been fully within the knowledge OF all who

formation filed against Loud was secured through
certain poll iosl Influences TO dslay, ii possible,
the action OF the House Committee Of Elections
in the Atklen.Darral osn'est, and the results Of
this trial yesterday conc usiveiy demonstrated
this fact.
The District Attorney first entered q noile pros.
and was permitted by the defense, who insisted
q trial II the case on It's merits, TO file an
other information against Loud so that the wit
nesses presen might be examined and the Jury
render their verdict.
The District Attorney then presented the GER
tfeate upon which he relied. and Hon. James
Orowell, pa,sh judge Of Iberville, after tho jury
had been impansled, was put upon the stand
and sworn. AT this stage of the proceedings the

TWO AM AZONs.
A Whole CONGREGATION Quietly witness a
Stabbiny Match.


On January z, sfter hearing Parson Jones
preach the gotpel ON the Cutoff road, ak mi es
low Algiere, two of Africas daugh ers, Lizzie
Ha piton and Sarah McDanels, who bs OK
as two aces OF spades, had carvii & ARRAY, which
was to decide which of the two shou have the
moke over whom they were rivals. LZzie proved
The winner, as she was fJrtuna'e enough to get
her knife out first and stab Sarah five times
before the latter could draw weapon TO defend
herstR.
Sarah howled ''Fsir play" but it was free
fight and to the death Of one OF the combatants,
and Lizzie showed her no quarter.
The balance Of the congregation formed ring
around the two AmaZons, and as the arrange
ment had been made that neither one shnuld oe
interiered with until one or the other had thrown
up the sponge. they stood calmly by and saw,
without interfering, ole woman literally carve
the other almost to the point Of death
When Sarah had received her fifth wound che
sank to the earth exhausted from Loss Of blood.
When the wounded woman was earthsd Lizzie
Hamilton threw her knife ON the ground, folded
her arms and quietly gazsd up3n her va qushed
rival with q barbarous smile. She then wi h
crew from the scene, made good her escape, and
is still At large.
The wounded woman Was conveyed to the
Eighth Precinct Station, aud afterward TO the
Charity Hospital, where she was examined and
found to have received five wounds, two la the
shoulder and three 10 the abdomen. The
wounds, although in vital portions OF the body,
are not considered moral
