ING of the 10th inst, the Shakopee, Minnesota,
mills took fire and burned to the ground, leav-
ing nothing but the brick walls. There was
aboutsixty barrels of -four and all the top run

building amounted to $4,000. The mill was
owned by George T. Strait & Co. Cause not

in favor of general improvement of the

favors levces. As illustrating this, the COM

Exacuation ana Re1irement.

=
A special Constantinople telegram
states that in consequence of the pcremptory
demands Of General Todelben for the surrender
of fortresses accompanied by threat to occu-
Ply Constantineple, the cabinet council have
decided to evacuate all their fortresscs Shum.s
la first, then Vamat, lastly, Batoum. The de-
cision was taken rather suddenly, upon the
report of Osman Pasha that the Turkish army
was not in condition to resist the occupation of
Constantinople. The 1imes correspondent at
Constantinople says, as usual, the palace was
smitten with terror, and ready to cede any
thing if the Russians would go away from
Constantinople. Gen. Todelben peremtorily
urged evacuation, but adroitly offered to fall
back if the fortresses were surrendered. The
bait was swallowed and the Russians have
promised, so my informant assures me, to re-
tire to Adrianople and Dedragtch and quit
Erzeroum as soon as three fortrcsses are evac.
uated. The evacuation will begin ut once.
There is to be no written convention and all
were to be settled by verbal agreement.

Strange Romance OF Crime.

A strange romance of crime is narrated
at st Louis. Six years ago Julia Leblanc,
daughter of a farmer in Jefferson county
Missouri, mysteriously disappeared one eve
nnga was never again seen alive. Lately
negro, while shooting snipe along the bank
Of the Mississippi river, near Point Pleasant,
twenty or thirty miles from the home OF
Leblanc, saw stray skiff floating down the
stream, and on overhauling it found it to con-
tain female skeleton, which proved to be that
the long missing girl. The theory is that she
was enticed from home by discarded lover,
strangled and placed in the skiff, which was
then securely fastened to the bank of a creek
at u place where the underbrush was so thick
as to effectually hide it; that there the boat
remained until the ravages of time made the
ropes decay and thus the loosened boat doated
down the creek and into the Mississippi river.

The AVERAGE COST
per mile of those 1908 miles of canal was $49,-
900. Suppose the general government had. at
the same cost per mile, constructed the 14086
miles of water highways in the Mississippi
system, the total cost would be over $500, O00,-
O00. This river highway is infinitely superior
to and more serviceable than any canal which
can be constructed. It's value is just as great
to the people as if built at public expense, and
is as much entitled to repairs. Is it wise for
the general government to neglect its most inn
portant highway of commerce simply because
nature assumed the cost of the original con-
struction?'' t H93
The Washington correspondence of the st..
Louis Republican, to whom we are indebted for
the facts in the above abstract, says concerning
the bills reported by this committee:
While the report is filled with convincing
statistics and statements going to show the
demand for national aid, the committee by
its short-sighted action has, in the bills sub
mitted, done more than could be done by
argument to injure their own cause. Singu-
larly enough, the committee is composed Of
men who are tied to tho idea of getting

SATURDAY NIGHT.

How many a kiss has been given, how
many q curse, how many a caress, how
many a kind word-how many n promise
has been broken, how many a heart has been
wrecked-how many a loved one has been
lowered into the narrow chamber, how
many a babe has gone from earth to heaven
how many a crib or cradle stands silent
now, which last Saturday night held the
rarest of all treasures of the heart? A
week is a life. A week is q history. A
week marks events of sorrow or gladness of
which people never heard. Go home to the
family, man of businessi Go home, you
heart-erring wanderer! Go home to cheer
that awaits the wronged wait of life's
breakers Go home to those you love, man
of toll and give one night to the Joys and
comforts fast flying by. Leave your book
with complex figures. your dirty workshop,
your busy store. Rest with those you love ;
for Coz, only knows what the next Saturday
night'will bring you. Forget the world Of
care and the battle of life which have fur
rowed the week. Draw close around the
family hearth. Go home to those you love,
and as you bask in the loved presence and
meet to return the loved embrace of your
hearts pets. strive to be n better man and
to bless God for giving his weary children
SO dear a stepping stone in the river to the
eternal as Saturday night.

A GIRL MIDsHIPMAN.

1.-THE Lady M~idshipman " is the title Of
an ocean romance in the files of the last
foreign mail. Fourteen months ago a good
looking Irish girl II years old took it into
her head to go to New South Wales or
australia. She accordingly went out as an
eaigrant to Queensland, where she obtain
ed a situation as bar-maid. While there
she received a letter from her mother
begging her to return home, and inclosing
money to pay her passage. With this she
bought mems clothes and obtained a situa-
ton as second steward on board a steamer
making short trips between Newcastle and
Sydney. She remained on this vessel two
or three months, and then thought she
would like to go to England. and that she
might as well work her passage over as pay
for it. She sought and obtained a situation
on board the Strathdon, n clipper ship ply
ing between Sydney and London. The new
hand did duty as well as could be desired
and became a favorite with the ships COM
pany. When the vessel had been out about
forty days, a communication was made to
the captain which aroused his suspicious,
and he accordingly taxed the supposed
apprentice with being q woman. She ad-
mited the soft impeachment, abandoned
the forcastle, changed her uniform and re-
turned to Ireland like a lady.

THE sHrEr-s SENSE OF HEARING.

1t is said that SO acute is the sheep's
sense of hearing that she can distinguish
the cry of her own lamb among as many as
q thousand others all bleating ut the same
time and the lamb, too, is able to rccop-
nize its mothers voice even though it be in
the midst of a large flock. James Hogg,
who was a shepherd as well as n poet, tells
us that it was very amusing to watch the
sheep and lambs during their shearing sea-
son. While the sheep were being shorn
the lambs would be put into a fold by
themselves, and the former would be sent
to Join their little ones as soon as the ope-
ration OF shearing was over. The moment
n lamb heard its mothers voice it would
hasten from the crowd to meet her, but
instead OF finding the rough, well-clad,
comfortable mamma which it had left q
short time before. it would meet q strange
and most deplorable- looking creature. At
the sight of this it would wheel about,
u~ttering the most piteous cry of despair,
and perhaps run away. Soon, however.
the sleeps voice was heard again the
lamb would thereupon return, Then once
more bound away, and sometimes repeat

THE CROWN DIAMONDS OF FRANCE

Champ de Mars has drawn attention to q
curlous episode in their history. In 1892

the diamonds could not be found. At that
moment, q man named Lameiville, a hair.
dresser, was in the prison of the Concier-
gerie under sentence Of death for coming,
but he made his escape. A few DAYS inter.
wards he called upon Sergeant Marceau, q
municipal officer, who had rendered him
some service while in prison, and told the
policeman that while in confinement he
had heard the men talking, and had dis
covered the hiding place Of the precious
objects, viz. ; in the hollows of two large
beams in a garrett in q certain street. The
Sergeant e himself to search, and re-
covered the whole Of them, the Regent, the
Saucy, &c. As for Lameiville, he WINS sent
away from Paris for security. Petition, the
mayor of the capital, recommended him to
the Minister of War, and he was made an
officer in a regiment Of the line. Accord
ing to an inventory, drawn up in the reign
of Louis XVIII, the jewels were more than

JoIcE HETH.

Barnum says that the best investment he
has ever made was the 81, 900 which he
gave 1885 to the Philadelphia exhibitors
Of Joice Heth, the pretended negro nurse
OF George Washington. He had then lost
most of his property, and borrowing the
amount from his friends, he made a journey
to Philadelphia to investigate the prospect
of turning the old colored woman to pecu-
MARY account. Satisfied that there was
money in her, he purchased her cash down I:
advertised her so cunningly that he created
great curiosity to see her, and soon took in
81, 500 a week. After the city had been
gratified by the sight of Joice, he travelled
through the country with her. in connection
with a company of mountebanks, and made
a good deal of money. This was Barnum's
first venture rs q Snowman. and determined
his career. He cleared directly it is alleged.
$4,000 out of Joice Heth, and indirectly
an immense fortune. He had not had her
much more than q year when she very un-
gratefully died, and an autopsy proved her
to have been but 10 to 80 years old, instead
of 161, as had been claimed. Barnum said
he had bought her for the hitter age. and
had done his best to make the public be.
heve her SO old. 1t was her fault if she
had fallen short Of what was expected of
her by some 80 years. She might have
been 161, no doubt, If she had wanted to
be, and her failure to attain that degree Of
venerableness evinced on her part q dispo-
sition to ~disappoint a too credulous and
confiding community. The world is studded
with Joice Heths, with q difference and
%unending variety of names.
