tothe rich people; and, as they sang
the Cold Night spread his mantle slow
ly around them until they were fast
asleep.
"Oh, sir" cried Kitty, spare them,
and let them livep'
"No," said the Cold Night, ''they are
too poor to live. They must die
Kitty fell on her knees before him.
ooh, STRIP she plead, beseechingly, II
am rich and will take care of them, and
relieve them from suffering"
But the Cold Night raised his hand
and pointed upward. saying:
ITO late, too late!'
As he spoke he took the beggars in
his arms and slowly rose M toward the
stars, leaving Kitty sobbing on the
ground. And as she knelt there she
heard, high in the skies, the song that
the beggars sang, the song of sweet char
ity, swelling to mighty chorus, as one
would think to celebrate mighty deed
mighty in the sight of heaven. She tried
to raise her head but could not; she
seemed bound to the earth by a great
weight, as of gold, while above the song
grew fainter and fainter, till at last
it ceased, and she fell in a deep swoon.
1t was broad daylight when Kitty
aWOke, and the sun was shining bright
ly into her window. In the hall the maid
was humming a subdued song as she
went bhthely about her work; while
without the white smoke Of morning
fires-signs Of stirring life-curled up
ward from the chimney tops into the
cool air, as if glad to meet the light of
day
cit was only a dream; yet, oh, how
vivid?" thought Kitty, as she rubbed her
eyes again and again, surprised to see
the walls of her own pretty room actual
! ~ around her.
"Only dream, only a dream, yet
how full of truth" eheerily rang the
milkman's bell as Kitty donned her
morning dress; while, as she passed
down the broad staircase, the great hall
clock seemed to say:
"Only a dream, only dream; yet
there's q lesson; yet there's a lesson; y
and Kitty pondered.
A year from that time Kitty passed
by the same old clock; but this time it
said, as it licked, licked away:
"Only a dream; yet it's made her an
angel, AN angel of mercy to suffering
need. Her name, SO dear to us, is a
name Of love among the poor. All, hap
Ply, happy was the day when, to her
eyes, a dream revealed true charity"

In the Alps recently Mr.. and Mrs.
Wainwright and Christian Grass, their
guide, fell down a precipice. Hans
Grass, the other guide, was man of gi-
gantic strength, and the rope by which
the four were corded together was stout,
and throwing himself backward by
sheer force Of muscle he held them
suspended and cried to his brother to
cut steps in the ice and mount. and be
quick about 1t for he could not sustain
them for more than half an hour. Mr..
Wainwright had not dropped his hatch
ct, which he handed to the guide, who
soon reached the edge of the crevasse;
his brother, still sustaining the Vain
wrights, gave him hand and drew him
up, then they hauled up their tourists,
and all returned little the worse for
their frightful adventure.

THE MODERN SCHOOL TEA CHER.

She averaged this and she averaged that

She reckoned percentage so many boys,
And so many girls all counted,
And marked all the tardy and aDsentees.

Names and residences wrote in full,
Over many columns and pages:
Canadian, Teutonic, African, Celt
And averaged all their ages.
The date of admission of every one,
And cases of flagellation:
And prepared a list Of graduates
For the country examination.
Her weary head sank low on her book
And her weary heart sti lower:
For some OF her pupils had little brain,
Aud she could not furnish more.
She slept, she dreamed; it seemed she died,
And her spirit went to Haydes,
And they met her there with question fair

Ages had slowly rolled away,
Leaving but partial traces;
And the teachers spirit walked one day
In the cid familiar places.
A mound of fosSiIiZed school reports
Attracted her observation,
As high as the State-house dome and as wide
As Boston since annexation.
She came to the spot where they buried her bones
And the ground was well built over:

THE GEORGIA REIGN OF TERROR.
-l,,ot1.er Letter from Senator fiu.

-II10theI Letter from Senator HUI.
Senator Ben. 81. Hill has written letter
reafiirming the main statements given in the
interview with him which the Atlanta Consti-
tuition printed, and celebrating especially the
high important part he took in rescuing Geor-
gia from s.the reign of terror" Among other
things, he says: During the darkest days of
1867, when hundreds and thousands of good
citizens were joining Republican leagues, a
number of gentlemen in and near Atlanta
formed themselves into voluntary commit
tee or club in order to do what they
might in opposition to the infamies of re-
construction. This committee did excellent
work, and deserves special mention i'll any
history of those times. In June, 1867, that
committee addressed me a letter declaring
that nothing but fearless speech on the
line of the Notes. and made in the city of
Atlanta in the presence of the military au-
thorities, would convince our people that
they were still free, and had the right to dis
cuss reconstruction, and not yield voluntary
assent to their own dishonor, They urged
me to make such speech. In reply, l adj
mitted that speech ought to be made. but
insisted it ought to be made by some one OF
more of our leaders who had more ability
and more national reputation than myself
advised that they should make such re
quest of each of our leading men, and ap
| point q day when would meet the commit
tee and ascertain the result. On the 9TH o

may be accomplished, it is not given us to
iorsee. For me it remains only earnestly to
nope and hopefully to believe. though l
may not see 1t, that restoration will come.
10 dlsbeileye this is to discredit the popular
1nIeihgence and integrity on which self gov
ernment must necessarily depend. Though
severely tried, my faith in the people is not
lost, and prayerfully trust, though I
should not live to see the hope realized. that
1t WILDE permitted me to die believing the
principles on which our fathers founded this
government will finally prevail throughout
the land, and the ends for which it was in
stltuted yet be attained and rendered as per-
petual as human institutions may be.
nave said we could not foresee how or when
tins may be brought to pass, but it is not
difficult to determine what is needful to at
tain the result. First in order
and importance (for it is the corner
stone of the edifce) the elective franchise
must be intelligently and honestly exercised.
Let there be no class legislation. Low taxes.
low salaries. no peranisites. and let the Off
clal be held to strict accountability to his
constituents. Nepotism and gift-taking by
a public servant deserves the seyerest
censure. The bestowal of the peoples Off
ces as reward for partisan service should
oe as gross a breach OF trust. Let no such
offence be condoned, for in a government of
the people there can be no abuses permits
able as usefully counteracting each
other. Truth, justice and honor
presided at the birth of
our federal union, and its mission can only
be performed by their continual attendance
upon it, for this there is not needed condi.
ton of human perfectability. but only so
much of virtue as will control vice and teach
The mercenary and self-seeking that power
and distinction and honor will be awarded
to patriotism, capacity and integrity. To

Tenders of imperishable truths and inaliena-

He went direct from the committee-room to
the floor of the House, and before he had
been there long Kellogg went over from the
Senate bearing telegram requesting him to
visit the White house at once, and bring
Darrall with him. When the committee got
ready for DarraH he was not forthcoming.
The sergeant-at-arms made search for him,
and finally learned he had gone to the White
House. An officer of the committee fol-
lowed him there and interrupted the inter
view with the Presidency, Kellogg was with
Darrall and that was his first visit to Hayes
for some time. Darrall was taken back to
the committee-room, and showed himself to
be a most unwilling witness. About half
past five o'clock that afternoon, after the
committee had adjourned, kellogg and Darrau
returned to the White House and saw Hayes.
Since that time Kellogg has beena frequent
visitor to the White House, and has become
warm defender of the administration. In
explanation of this change of the front it's
stated that an agreement has been entered
into by which Kellogg is to control good
share of the federal patronage of Louisiana.
Through him DarralI, Pitkin, jerks and
others who may testify as they have done
are to be provided for at the proper time.

Two fTClEnL Trains OH Jn0 NOIlll" CbLtIH
Road Captured and Run to Matiison-The
Gangs Marched Off to Jail by the Madison
Police.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
MADISON, Wis, July 11.-Great excitement
prevails here all day over the threatened raid
of tramps in this State. Governor Smith,
Mayor Smith, and Superintendent Swineford
were at the executive office all night. At an
early hour this morning a freight train ar
rived from Beloit, having been captured by
thirty tramps, part of whom were on the en-
CINE directing the engineer where to stop,
etc. Chief OF Police Bishop, who had been
warned by telegraph of their approach, with
a squad of extra policemen surrounded the
train and captured the entire outfit,
marching them to the county Jail.
About an hour after another freight
train arrived from Beloit, with nearly thirty
more harvesters in charge of the train. They
we're likewise captured without resistance by
the officers and marched to Jail. The whole
party incarcerated, numbering forty-seven
representative men of the yagabonds, were
marched to the municipal court, where the
whole outfit were sentenced to ninety days
at hard labor breaking stones Some 200
or more are at Beloit awaiting other trains
to capture. Col. Burchard, the Governors
private secretary, who had gone there to in
vestigate the situation, reports that the
tramps there are very quiet, and
show no disposition to further
interfere with the railroad company's trains.
Should they do SO Mayor Blodgett is in
structed by Gov. Smith to use all the force
at his command to protect the property of
the company Military companies at Beloit
and Madison are placed at the disposal of
the mayor, and they will be used if occasion
requires. The tramps in jail here are vii
famous looking set of vagabonds. They de-
clare they are only the advance guard of
some 5000 driven out of Iowa, but the eff
fective measures adopted here and
at Beloit will doubtless deter
them from passing through the
State. No weapons we're found on them
only two dozen jack knives and half a dozen
razors. Everything is quite str light, both at
Beloit and Madison. Gov. Smith is deter
mined to protect citizens in their rights,
and will use the militia Of the State if neces-
sary.

as being of superior quality. Threshing is
under way, and no bad effects are felt from
the recent rains. The cat harvest has com
