The question of rebuilding the Tuil,
cries is being discussed. Beyond q
doubt it was, in connection with the
Louvre, before its destruction, the finest
palace in the world. Those gray ruins
which look down upon the garden Of
the Tuileries are no ornament, surely.
They remind one of Communism, to be
sure; but what IS that, except Vandsl-
ism. No cause is just which delights in
destroying temples and monuments OF
the past. Buildings do no harm. Some
times the occupants do. Killing tyrants
and despots may be necessary. To de-
stroy their palaces brings no profit to
the people.

S. W. Cotton, Station Agent and gro
Ger at Williamsburg Station, on the
Kansas Pacific Road, near Topeka, was
murdered last Thursday by a"tramp."
The tramp called for cheese and crack
ers, and, while Cotton was reaching
into barrel to get the crackers, the
tramp struck him in the back OF the
neck with an axe, nearly scvering the
head from the shoulders. Later reports
charge certain neighbors of Cotton's
with being accessories to tho murder,
and that the tramp story is fraud.

California Land Grabbing.

There are so, 900, 900 acres of land in
California fit for cultivation, but not
over 5000, 900 are in actual use for that
purpose and not over 5000, 900 are in
closed. Over 2O,0OO,OOO acres are held
by land rings or individual monopolists
for speculative purposes in tracts of
1875, 0C0 to 800, 900 acres. This state of
things has long been felt to be great
check to the prosperity of the State.
Under normal conditions men of small
means might be expected to flock in
large numbers to settle upon the rich
farming land and healthy, active and
enterprising agricultural communities
would arise; but this has been rendered
impossible by the refusal of the large
landowners to sell except at exorbitant
prices. The new Constitution that is
now before the California people for
adoption seeks to remedy this evil by
providing that the taxation of lands
held in large uncultivated tracts shall
not be assessed, as heretofore, at the
nominal value of so to $3.50 per acre,
but that the same valuation shall be
placed upon them as upon the SIN all Gull
tivated farms adjoining them. This will
be from 800 to $50 per acre, according
to location, and will make the annual
tax on one of these small kingdoms
100000 or more. 1t is believed that
such assessments will soon cause the
monopolists to sell their tracts for what
they will fairly bring.

The Morning Comes Before the
Sun.

Slow buds the pink dawn like a rose
From out nights gray and cloudy sheath,
Softly and still it grows and grows,
Petal by petal, leaf by leaf,
Each sleep imprisoned creature breaks
Its dreamy letters one by one,
And love awakes, and labor wakes
The morning comes before the sun
What is this message from the light
So faircr far than light can be?
Youth stands a tiptoe, eager, bright,
In haste the risen sun to see;
Aht check thy longing, restless heart,
Count the charmed moments as they run
1t is life's best and fairest part,
This morning hour before the sun.
When once thy day shall burst to flower.
When once the sun shall climb the sky.
And busy hour by busy hour
The urgent noOntide draws anigh,
When the long shadows creep abreast
To dim the happy task half done,
Thou wilt recall this pause of rest,
This morning hush before the sun.
To each one dawning and one dew
one fresh young hour is given by fate,
One rose flush on the early blue
Be not impatient then, but watt
Clasp the sweet peace on earth and sky
BY midnight angels woven and spun,
Better than day is its prophecy
The morning comes before the sun.

A Mysterious Spring.

In the summer of 1888. says the Chat
tanooga CTenn.) Commercial, the Third
United States Artillery, commanded by
Col. Gates, was encamped at the foot of
the Missionary Ridge, engaged in the
removal of the Cherokee Indians. One
day the Colonel ordered out fatigue
party to clean out the spring, beauti-
full fountain bubbling up at the foot of
the ridge. Shortly after the Sergeant
reported to headquarters that his men
were all drunk. Says the Colonel: ''You
should not have let the men drink whis-
ky" 81 did not" replied the Ser
geant; "they drank nothing but water
from the spring" The Sergeant and
men were ordered int the guard-house
and a new detail ordered and Lieuten-
ant placed in command, with orders not
to let the men have access to any spirits.
Not long after the Lieutenant reported
the men all drunk. The men were or
dered to the guard-house and the Lieu
tenant under arrest. Another party was
orderd out, of which Col. Gates took
command. He took his seat on stump,
SO he could overlook the whole ground,
determined there should be no getting
drunk this time. But, behold! in a short
time his men were all drunk. He was
certain they had drunk nothing but
water, which they frequently did, get
ting down on their knees and drinking
from the branch just below the spring
The Colonel was at his wits end. The
men were ordered to the guard-house
and he repaired to his tent to think.
After weighing the matter pro and con,
he had to give it up, and repairing to
the guard-house he told them if they
would show him how it was done he
would release them; otherwise he
would punish them severely. To this
they agreed, and took him to the spring.
just below the spring, in the branch,
they unearthed 5-gallon jug filed
with whisky, the mouth of which was
stopped with cork, in which was in
serted quill which reached to the bot
tom. When buried in the sand the up
per end of the quill was just above the
surface of the water, and when they
wanted to drink they stopped down, in
serted the quill in their mouth, and
while apparently drinking pure water
were drinking pure whisky, and the
Colonel. sitting on the stump in plain
view, was none the wiser for it.

Sometimes, I think, the things we see
Are shadows of the things to be;
That what we plan we build;
That every hope that hath been crossed
And every dream we thought was lost,
In Heaven shall be fulfilled
That even the children of the brain
Have not been born and died in vain.
Though here unclothed and dumb;
But on some brighter. better shore
They live embodied evermore.
And wait for us to come.

await until the cuts have calloused and
the eye shown signs of life. Occasion
ally we find an eye thatseems shriveled
and weak. Such we throw out and do
not plant. After the cuts have dried
and the eye started, we plant them as
soon as possible, not waiting for the
moon to get right. If the ground is
right and the seed in condition, we ex-
pect every eye to grow. To insure COM
ing up we are careful to cover to an
even depth, say four or five inches. If
we run roller over them after planting,
we find they are more likely to start
promptly and come to sight at the same
time.
When planted in this way the potato
is not likely to rot in the ground, and
will come up more evenly and several
days in advance of freshly cut potatoes.
The fresh cut must heal callous before
the eyes will start vigorously, and if the
ground is wet and cold many will rot,
and the stand will lie uneven. The
smaller piece of potato will not be as
liable to rot as the larger one.
When we have one plant every Is
inches we have vigorous, healthy ones.
II two or more sprout, some of them are
weak, and produce but few small pota-
toes. Because potatoes will grow almost
any way, farmers have generally given
little thought to the best methods; and
as seed is generally plenty, they think
it is well to putin plenty of seed. There
is not the same care in selecting good
seed, and putting in just the right
amount, as in planting corn. 1t is so
easy to overdo the business in corn
raising that men have learned to be sure
of the quality of their seed, and to not
plant more grains than stalks desired

There was a church not far off. A fancy
seized her to go there. She had seen
her mother come out of church soma-
times with wonderful look of peace on
her face. She might find peace, too.
She took her maid with her-since
she never more went quite free now
and strayed into the great, quiet cathe-
dral. She dropped down on her knees.
She thought of storm, and of Voice
that came in the storm, and of the calm
that followed. And presently there was
calm with her.
A calm, and strength that is only
born of calm. She went about her ways
serenely; she ruled her kingdom beau
tifully. If she had made grave mis-
take, she did not sit down with folded
hands in its shadow. Poor little soul!
she had strayed into Hades; but she be-
came the light, the tranquil moonlight,
of the place.
In day of unfaith and materialism,
and of mammon worship, she was true
to her own ideals of goodness and love-
illness. She never lost her child-like
nature, her innocence, her simplicity.
The worldly men and women about her
treated her with certain Multiplying
reverence.
So she made her peace with life, with
nature, as the pagans would have said,
and as we Christians still may phrase
it, with devouter and more filial sig
nificance.
But in so making her reconciliation
she must also find her way back to her
old place in the heart of the bright-faced
little woman across the ocean who had
sent her forth SO reluctantly TO her mar

Her own choice for her daughter would
be different one. Nor had she failed
to notice the lighting up of Hilda's face
when Douglass came and went.
Mr.. Wiese was right. NJ. De Bonnie
Fortune had fallen in love with Hilda.
1t was nothing to him who she was, who
her people were. She would be above
criticism as the Duchess de Bonnie For
tune. He determined to marry her
from the outset. He considered it
hardly probably that the facts that he
was yellow and wizcned and lame, and
Hilda's senior by certainly Is or 20
years, would weigh in the balance
against the advantages of his title and
his wealth.
Nor did they when it came to the
point. 1t seemed to her that it was her
duty to accept him. Her father had
said as much to her from time to time
during the weeks that the Dukes black
chargers swept his glittering chariot to
and from town. Moreover, the Duke
made his offer to the father in the first
place, and the father in repeating it
urged the suit in every way.
"He has promise to settle an indie
pendent fortune on you." Mr.. Wiese
urged. EMIT dat you can do vat you
choose. And he will set Oscar up in
business ven he has finished school next
year. 1t will pc great thing for us all,

"Yes,'' Hilda said, "I suppose it

having given her consent, she felt as
though she had locked herself into a
prison.

limpid water. The roof of the cavern
was very high and covered with stalac-
tites, the brilliant colours of which
sparkled under the light of the candles.
Continuing their course, the workmen
had at certain places to navigate their
craft between the stalactites, which,
meeting stalagmites from the bed of the
lake, formed enormous columns, which
looked as if they had been made ex-
pressly to sustain the enormous arches.
They thus reached the extremity of the
lake, where they noticed large chap
mel extending towards the south, into
which water quietly made its way. This
is supposed to be large fissure which
has baff1ed exploration hitherto at Seb-
don, and which connects the cascades
with that locality, and thus with the
mysterious sources of the Tafna. 1t is
possible that here they have found an
immense natural basin, supplied by
powerful sources, and sending part of
its waters towards the lake, while the
rest goes to SebdOn. The workmen es-
timated the distance underground trav-
ersed by them at three kilometres and
the breadth of the lake at two. They
brought out with them a quantity of
fish, which swarmed round the raft,
and which were found to be blind.

A Strange Collision at Sea.

The Rotterdam steamship P. Caland,
which arrived at this port Sept. 9,
brought the captain and crew of Nor
wegian bark, which had been sunk by
collision with some sea monster in mid
ocean. The bark Columbia left Lon
don for Quebec, in ballast, Aug. 8, and
met with variable weather until the
morning of the 4th inst, when she was
sailing at the rate of from six to seven
miles an hour before fair wind. The
sea was not very rough, and the bark
was carrying all sail and heading west
ward. The captain was on deck at five
bells in the morning watch, when a
tremendous shock, which shook the
bark from stem to stern, was suddenly
felt. The men who were asleep in theil
hunks were awakened, and thinking
that the foremast had been carried
away, sprang on deck. Capt. Larsen
and three of his men ran to the port
side and saw the water discOlored witt
blood, while the tail and fins of huge
monster were seen splashing about il
| the sea, which had become violently
agitated on that side of the vessel. A
this moment, one of the crew cried ou
that leak had been sprung, and Capt
Larsen and the carpenter hurried dow
into the hold to see if the bark hat
suffered any injuries. In the port bow
about'three feet below water mark, the,
found that four planks had been crushe,
in for space about four feet long. /
large hole had been made, throug
which the daylight above the waite
could be plainly seen. The water wa
pouring into the vessel through thi
hole. Several attemps were made t
stop it up, but failing, the bark wa
abandoned and sank soon after. Th
captain and his crew of twelve me
were fortunately picked up by the /
Caland the same day in the afternoon
No precise description of the colidin
monster could be given. The Columbi
was an old ship, but about two yea
ago was put on the stocks and thorough
ly replanked. Her bow was made
solid 43-inch oak pIanking.
