A Sailors Duty.

Of course there are times when a
sailors duty will be rough, rude, and
stormy, like the raging elements around
him. During the stress of a gale, and
while the ship is being navigated throus b
difficult and narrow channels, sailors
fret and all absorbing duty is to watch
the hand and listen to the voice of the
officer in command, and unhesitatingly
obey. Work-hard, coarse, difficult,
dangerous wOrk-becomes then the or
der of the day. and leisure thoughts
and leisure fancies, and things gentle
and refined, must be postponed for lei
sure hours. But even in the darkness
and in storm, amidst the fury OF the gale
and the wild sweep of the threatening
waves, amidst thuuders and lightnines,
terrors from the sky and terrors from
the deep, 1t is wonderful how serene,
devout, earnest mind, previously dis
ciplined by its studies and reflections,
may take in deep imbibing of beauty
and consolation. 1t mentally secs q
latitude of calm above in the circle of
the storm, and inwardly hears, amidst
tho deafening clamours of excited ma
ture, the sweet whisper, "It is /; be not
afraid % There is no real on in the
nature of things why even the most il
literato of sailors should not, by and by,
and after much training, attain to
this spiritual susceptibility, this capacity
to take in grand ideas and holy conso-
lation even in the midst of life's sternest
trials and darkest terrors.

A Bright Face.

During recent service at a country
English church, the clerk left his desk
for the purpose of replenishing the fire.
He blackened his hand in the operation
without knowing it, and afterwards
wiped it across his face leaving large
black mark behind. When he returned
to his seat he had to read the first verse
of the hymn, which strangely enough
commenced. "Behold the brightness of
my face ! causing the whole Of the
congregation to burst into laughter,
much TO the astonishment of the poor
clerk, who afterwards received severe
reproof from the rector.

The Khedive indicates.

The New York Times states that the
Khedive of Egypt has abdicated his
power as ruler, and his place is filled
by Nuber Pasha-tke Kkedive re-
storing all his estates to the State.
Thus has falleg% great man of~the
East, who has overwhelmed himself and
his nation bYshcer grDaigacy and prod
igality. Frd~-betng the richest man in
the world he has been reduced to COM
parative poverty under extravaganza
and shrinkage in values. His fortune
has gone, and with it his political power.
In truth, the Khedive is rot the best
example ofpublic or private life, and
has fallen prey to his own follies and
excesses. AS long ago as 1875 he was
represented as poor man of vast and
heavily incumbered estates. He then
owned $50, 900 acres of land, which
was about one>tenth of the cultivated
soil of Egypt. He then owed S25, ,OO0-
600 on this estate, at ten per cent. in
terest, besides an enormous floating
debt. The hard times pinched him un.

The First Locomotive.

The average citizen will bc taken by
surprise when told that the first locomo-
tive engine ever placed on a track on
this continent was steamed up" and
started just fifty years ago the 9th day
of August. The trial trip was made at
Honesdale, Pa, by the "Stourbridge
Lion" an engine built in Stourbridge,
England, and the credit for this pioneer
enterprise belongs to the Delaware and
Hudson Canal Company. Mr.. H. Allen,
now II years of age, and a resident of
South Orange, N. j., was the man who
pulled the first throttle valve on that
day, and to whom the charge of build
ing the engine was entrusted by the
company when he was sent to England.

An Eagles Fight for Her Young

xaA 1cSi 10 ikaU lOr I16r OuuR
Last week, while f. J. Campbell was
engaged digging wild ginger on the
side Of the Roam, about one and hall
miles from the Cloudland Hotel Bakers
vile, N. O., he found the nest of a gray
eagle in fallen tree.top under the cliff
of the mountain, containing one young
eagle. While examining the nest and
its contents, suddenly he heard a loud
noise, and before he could ascertain
what it was the eagle had struck him
in the face with her bill and claws, and
taking circuit through the air, aligbted
on tree about 200 yards distant, but
in plain view of the nest. Again ths
parent bird made an attack, aiming at
his head, bat he avoided her. and she
struck him on the arm; making a slight
wound. She returned to her post Of
observation, but as soon as he attempted
70 rUuCh tfIe nest containing the young
eagle, she made third attack, when
Mr.. Campbell struck her with a stick
aud brought her to the ground, where,
after severe struggle, he succeeded in
killing her, She measured seven feet
and two inches from tip to tip Of heI
wings. The male bird was not seen
The place was a wild, untrequented
part of the mountain. 1t has gen.rally
been supposed that the eagle always
built her nest in the clefts of rocks, buI
this one had her nest in a fallen tree
top, some feet from the ground, but in {
spot seldom visited by man. This bira
is the one known as the gray bale
eagle.

How a Farmer was Swindled.

A treasure up tree was seen IN the
watches of the night by Peddler who
was sleeping in farm house in the
Shenandoah Valley, Va. He told his
dream 10 the farmer the next morning,
and on three successive nights he had
the same vision. Then be prevailed
upon the farmer to accompany him to
the forest, whore he pointed out large
oak tree as the one he had seen in his
dream. 1t was apparently sound at the
butt, but about twenty feet up a limb
had been broken of. The farmer did
not feel like humoring what he supposed
to bo q superstitious whim but the old
fellow seemed to have confidence in his
vision, and offered one-half of the spoils
if he would help him cut down the tree.
When the tree fell there was rattle OF
coin near where the limb had been
broken off, and a small hollow was
found there. By little chopping a
larger cavity was found, and within was
q mass of silver. Both seemed wild
with delight, and on counting up found
that the pile amounted to $4,000. The
peddler expressed his unwilllngness to
carry around 80 much silver in his
pocket and inquired where he would be
likely to get grcenbacks for his share
The farmer having considerable money
in his house, Immediately transferred
to the peddler $1,000 in paper money nc
and took charge of the entire bulk Of
silver. The peddler disappeared, and
when his partner attempted to pass some m
Of the silver, 10 it was counterfeit. III

most SIMULTANEOUSLY the clear, sharp
report of two(riaes rang on the air, and
both men fell. Goldie managed to
raise himself and crawl behind the
trunk of the tree. He had been
wounded iu the left shoulder. Presently
he was joined BY the Texans, who had
been witnesses of this most exciting
duel. They had already ridden over to
Bloody Bill and fonnd him dead. A
bullet had penetrated his temple.

Mcclure on Christianity.

Col. Alexander Mcclure, of the Phia-
delphia Times, delivered on the 10Th inst.
an address before the literary societies of
the Pennsylvania College at Gettysburg.
1t was the annual commencement Col.
Mcclure chose for his topic, ''The Duties
Of To-Day" He impressed in the abest
and most forcible way upon the minds of
his auditors the Alarming Growth of Con-
tempt for Public Morality, for Law and
Religion in this country. The following
closing sentence will give an idea of the
strength and beauty of the whole:
christianity must be recalled to the ac-
tive guardianship of its civilization. 1t
must progress as the world progresses in
wisdom and guide the car of advancement
in the ways of purity and order. 1t must
forget intolerance; it must learn that big
Otry is not piety; that creeds and dogmas
are not inspiration, and that our civiliza-
ton presents too many formidable foes of
Christianity for Christianity to war upon
itself. With the Infdel invading the
fountains of learning and the honors of
in every Christian nation, the
Church is admonished to discard the re-
lies of the barbarous age that gave super
stition and sectarian hr.~ed to deform re-
ligion. Society must u invoked to its
own preservation. The homes of the Re
public must be the source of national re-
generation, for they are the thrones of the
sovereigns of our free institutions. Thence
let the pure atmosphere of devotion to
Public Morality, to Law and to Religion.
go out to the high places of the State and
the demagogue, the pretender and the in
ventor Of cunning crime under color of
will flee from its sitting re-
proaches. Let the masters of our Chris
tian civilization call, in their warranted
imperious tones, their servants from the
paths of crime and shame to account for
their stewardship and all will be well. To
this grand eonsummation the duties of to-
day command you, that government of
the people by the people for the people
shall not perish from the earth.

Congressional Appropriations.


Mr.. Chairman Atkins, ofthe House APP
preparation committee, presents an inter
esting analysis Of appropriation Legislation
of the late session. According to his fig
ures, the department estimates amounted
to s176, 226, 346.31; as they originally
passed the House the bills appropriated
s145, 793, 10305, but before their final
passage they had been increased to 1885,
373, 493.27, which represents the amount
Of appropriations for 1879. Those for
1873 aggregated 1858, COS, 6sl.2s, or ST.
764,811.99 less than for next year. This
is still SIS, 1897, 194.54 below the last APP
preparation made BY Republican Con-
gress.. Dir. Atkins however, explains that
over twelve millions Of this years appro-
priations are of an extraordinary nature,
such as the fisheries award aud portion
of the river and harbor appropriations,
which is chargeable to last year. In fact,
after Mr.. Atkins gets through with his
reductions it leaves but STAG, O9s, 493.37,
aud this would be rather creditable show
ing were it not for some Of the items,
which it does not appear there is sufficient
excuse for. The river and harbor bill is
the chief item, and is nearly two mill
ions in excess Of the last Republican ap-
preparation for the same purpose.
