4 Quick. Witted Boy.

During the railroad riots in Pittsburg,
in the summer OF 1877 (says the Boston
TRANSCRIPT it became necessary to beat
IL hasty retreat from the general Office
of the Panhandle railway company,
and the premises were evacuated in
double.quick time. In the confusion u
regulator clock, used by the superin-
tendcnt, wa accidentally left behind in
the lower hall, forgotten when the last
load left the building, which Mt that
time was surrounded by the mob. A
youth still in his teens, a messenger in
the freight department, lingering in the
doomed building, recognized IT, and was
about to take it; but a burly rioter saw
it at the same time and seized it. 1t
was rs much ~ ones life war worth to
expostalate with the plunderer, but the
boy ~pluckily laid hold Of the time
piece and claimed it rs his property.
The "plug-ug'y" shook him OFT. Moth
ing daunted, the BOY tried another tack.
See here" he said. that clock won't
do you no good. It's made to keep
Columbus time" Thunder" answer
ed the man; is that so? Then | don't
want no part of it. Get Cut with it,"
The boy started, ran the gauntlet OF n
volley OF revolver-shots and a shower OF
paving.stones, and reached his friends
in safety with the rescued clock, which
is now doing good service again.

The Wild Boy Of Hillsborough.
Tampa Ca Guardian.

N''F
Some three years ago a colored boy.
Iour years. old, the child of Eliza Spots
wood, living on the west side of the
Hillsboroueh river, near Rocky Creek,
wandered away from home and was
lost. A thorough search was made Tor
several days afterwards. but in vain was
the search, and it WAS finally eonclud-
ed that the child had been devourcd by
alligators, until last week, while Charley
Allen, n coloreo man, who lives in that
settlement, was out c~ow-hunting, when
he came upon a herd of cattle and dis
covered a boy following along among
them, with his body covered with hair.
SO soon ~ the cattle became aware that
the hunter was approaching they broke
off towards n hammock, neal by. and
the wild boy went jumping and leaping
along with them. We learn that a
party went out on last Saturday to look
for the child and discovered his tracks
in s. ieral places. but up to the writing
of this he had not been captured. 1t
seems almost incredible to believe that
"A human-being could subsist so long IN
the wild woods without clothes, shelter
and food, but Allen says it is the same
child.

to the eye. In the secord place, he
pointed out that if platinum or platinum
alloys were required for general illumi-
nation by electricity, the expense of the
metal would be n very serious draw
back. Prot. Tyndall was very careful
TO declare his belief in the future of the
electric light, and his conviction that
the apparatus for pro iucing and distri-
huting would be largely improved. His
general conclusion rs to the relative
merits of gas and electricity is that the
latter cannot cut the former out, there
being too many uses for it. This is I'M
doubleday the reasonable view. Gas
has hyno means ex%tinguished candles,
nor has 1t done away with oil lamps.
On the contrary endless new sources
and processes of oil and candle manu-
tacture have been sought out since gas
came into use. The reason of this sim
ply is that while gas has advantages of
It's own, o portable lights have theirs
IN their turn. The same thing will I'M
doubleday be the case with electricity.
II will be used, and widely used. But
Its use must always be conditioned by
certain limitations arising from its
peculiarly dazzling character when
naked, from the delicate and, as far MS
we a at present see, costly machinery
necessary for its production, and, for u
time ut least, 10y the difficulty of distri-
buting it wisely and cheaply. There is
plenty OF room for all these methods of
illumination, and for many more.
Moreover, the net results of the various
r. a. II. l--
London with the new light is far from
being altogether favorable, especially as
regards the all-important point of cost.
That this difficulty will be overcome or
greatly modified we have no doubt
whatever, but the unfortunate people
who some months ago sold their gas
shares at ever SO much of n sacrifice are
not likely to be consoled just yet by the
Icallapse of the companies they SO hastily
quilted.

An Artists Mountain Home.

During a pleasant solourn at Hot Sui
phur Springs, Middle Park, we once
took occasion to visit the quaint little
mountain home of j. Harrison Mills,
the we'll known Colorado artist. "a
peculiar taste" some would say, that
selected the site and fashioned the
material for this abiding place of genius.
4 narrow, rocky glen Just back of the
springs n few hundred yards, contains
the unpretentious home, and answers
III joyful echoes 10 the laugh and shout
of the bright-eyed little boy and girl
who met Us ut the door.
The magnificent pine forest from
which Mr.. Mills cut the logs for his
cottage, runs down on one side almost
to the door yard while on the other
rise rocks so abruptly that little but the
green mountain moss clings to their
wall-ike front. While looking up into
the grassy gulch from far below, o
would think there was scarcely room
for the sparkling rivulet that comes
bounding through, but a nearer ex-
animation reveals graceful clumps of
willows, and even a play ground of
some p~retentions. From the front
door the view is confined to two direc-
tons, skyward and eastward. BY the
latter outlet, n narrow detile through
which flows the Grand, a fine view of
the embryo watering place, Hot Sui.
phur Springs, is obtained.
The first rays of the lnoruinn sur.
light up the scene, and that feature, it
is said, proved the strongest lnducement
for Mr.. Mills. The cottage is a story
and a half in height, and in front has
the broad, hospitable-looking projec.
ton, vulgarly called an overthoot," n
style o. architecture SO much in vogue
among the Swiss peasantry. On the
rough interior walls to the left, as the
door Was entered, the symmetrical
outlines OF a mammoth elk first at
tracted attention. Upon these were
hung the favorite rifle and other accout-
remehts of the chase, of the artist who,
by the way, Is passionately fond of
hunting. Scattered around the room
is the simple household furniture, inter.
mingled with paintings in different
stages Of completion-ior, be it remem-
bered, this is studio, sitting-room,
kitchen and closet.
Among the paintings nearly finished.
was one Of Hill, the noted hunter, trap
per, and government scout. There was
also a superb representation OF the
head Of deer, and several pieces of
mountain scenery. OF the life work of
Mr.. Mills, little need be said, for Color
-. - .-.--n-
familiar with his excellent standing,
both as a landscape and portrait painter.
He also possesses considerable literary
having in years past done credi-
service in the journalistic field.
His selection of the vicinity Of Hot
Sulphur Springs for a permanen. home
must be taken as marked testimony in
behalf of the pictursequesess OF the
region, and of its other great natural
attractions.

Romance in Real Life.
Norristown Herald.

That was a sad, sad affair that hap
pened recently. A young man, upon
learning hat a young lady whom
he adored-but whose love for him was
not very warm-was about to sail for
Europe, engaged passage on the same
vessel, so that he might bask in her
smiles during the voyage. But he
didn't bask much. The second day out
he was seized with an internal commo-
tion,--a wrenching and wretched feel
ing that threatened to turn him inside
out, and until he reached Liverpool he
was the most miserable man in the
world. The young lady made her APP
pearance regularly at meals, with an
appetite as savage As a Sitting Bull
Indian, and flirting like all creation with
a young Englishman who wore side
board collars and a Scotch cap. When
the wretched young man learned this
he had a serious relapse, and wished he
was at home. Some old scientist says
the ocean will be entirely dried up in a
few million years hence, and the
brighted young man has concluded to
patiently wait until that period arrives,
and then return home overland.

I'm all our experience" said another

MONTREAL, Canada, advices of the

other leading officials of the Grand

dent through connection with Chicago,

Western to join them in a combination
of this kind. The president of the
Grand Trunk road announces his inten-
ton to have an independent line into
Chicago, and the company is about to
sell its road between REVERE du Loup
and Quebec to the government for ST.
100000, and will use this money for the
western extension. All these move.
ments indicate lively railroad war dur
ing the summer, in which the new Wa
bash line will doubtless play an import
ant part.

Christian Conduct.

Conduct is a language that all can I'M
derstand; and if it be true that actions
speak louder than words, then all may
preach the Gospel in the distinct and
earnest and powerful eloquence of q
holy life. All may plead for religion
with living argument, all proclaim it's
excellence by conduct which is without
reproacn and above suspicion. This is
a mode of preaching which men cannot
avoid hearing. which they must respect,
which they will feel. Said an infidel of
an %eminently pious man, 81 never see
him without feeling my WI upworthi-
ness; he is a constant reproof to me, the
sight of him has often made me
tremble."

The HerOISm Of Peter Kapp.

There died in Cincinnati, n few days
ago, a mar who richly deserves the
honor of m~artyrdom. His name was
Peter Rapp. He drove a street car,
vas young-only twenty-slx--and the
sole support of an aged and inlirm
father and mother. The parents were
unable to do anything. He provided
them with shelter, clothing, food and
fuel. His wages were so small that
after paying the bills of the household
he had nothing left for himself. He
could not buy either an overcoat or
undergarment to protect him from
rough weather. In order to get out with
his car at Cd every morning, he vas
obliged to walk four and a-half miles.
The rules of the company %forblddlng
the employees to ride without paying
fare. when not on duty, forced him to
walk back every night. Thus, in addi-
ton to his fifteen hours Of hard work,
ne had a daily worl ofnine miles. For
two months he never spent n single
cent of his earnings. All won't home to
his mother. Continued toll, exposure
and privation, broke down his health.
He was attacked by quick consump-
ton, and died literally that bis father
and mother might live.

A EMS of duty often causes some
ludicrous mistakes. as the following
story will illustrate: Near Dumfries
lived a pious family who had adopted
an orphan who was regarded as half
witted. He had imbibed strict views on
religious matters, however, and once
asked his adopted mother ifshe did not
think it wrong for the people to come
to church and fall asleep, paying no bet
ter regard to service. She replied she
did. Accordingly, before going to
church the next Sunday, he filled his
pockets with apples. One bald headed
old man, who invariably went to sleep
during the sermon, particularly attract
ed his attention. Seeing him at last
nodding and giving nasal evidence OF
being in the Gland of dreams" he struck
the astounded sleeper a blow with an
apple on the top of his bald pate. The
minister and the aroused congregation
at once turned round and gazed indig-
nantly at the boy, who merely said TO
the preacher as he took another apple
in his hand, with 8 sober. honest express
sion of c~ountenance: "You preach, III
keep 'em awake"

Iowa Democrats.

The democratic state convention as
sembled at Council Bluffs az noon May
21st. Nearly all the counties ia
the state We're represented with large
delegations. Atemporary organization
was effected by choosing James Il.
Hagerman, ofkeokuk, president. Upon
taking the chair he returned thanks for
the honor and endorsed the attitude of
the democratic party in congress-; de-
nounced President Hayes and declared
that the democracy will not only elect
the next president but will inaugurate
him. The committee on resolutions
were appointed and n recess taken.
Upon reassembling Gen. A. c. Dodge,
was made chairman, l. o. Walker sec
rotary. The committee on credentials
reported 41o delegates present out of
600 provided for IN the call. A state
central committee headed by Edward
Campbell Jr., OF the first district, was
appointed. Gen. Dodge, in taking the
chair, denounced the republican party
for forcing resumption and advocated
a union OF all agents opposed to the re-
publican party. II. IL. Trimble was
then nominated for governor, and Moses
Bloom for lieut.-governor.
Bloom having declined the nomina-
ton Col. J. S. Tamm and ID. 7. Stdbbs
were nominated. Stubts received pa
and Tamm 1911. Discussion ensued as
to whether this was a formal or infor-
NAL ballot, and it being questioned
whether the convention would. nominate
any but democrats for office, the bal
lot was, on motion, declared informal
and j. D. Yeoman was nominated by
acclamation. Reuben Noble was nomi-
mated for supreme judge; Irvine Baker,
superintendent OF public instruction.
Resolutions were adopted declaring
that liberty depends on a strict con
struction and observance of the consti-
tuition and all amendments; that both
the government and states should be
stern)y restricted to their respective
spheres in the exercise of power; that
the policy Of the republican party
which initiates the importance OF states
when necessary to cover the theft of
the presidency and magnifies the func-
tons of the general government to
cover the coercion of states into the EN-
dorsement Of the presidents partisan
will, is fruitful of danger; that such
policy arrays section against section
and teaches the people to rely on a
strong government as a shelter from
the anarchy they have planned.
They hail the democratic congress
men as worthy of the ancestors who re-
VOTED against depotism. they ask uni
versal dissent from the republican idea
of substituting the will OF n nan for
that of the majority of the people; they
favor the substitution Of treasury notes
for national bank notes and the aboli-
ton of national banks of issue; they
favor the reduction of the bonded debt
as fast as possible by the use of money
in the treasury; favor unlimited coinage
of the Aba grain silver dollar, and max
ing certificates for silver bullion depos-
tied in the treasury a legal tender; tar
if for revenue only; economy and re-
duction of salaries and the number OF
officials; the party being opposed to
free whisky favors a Iudicious license
law;demands a strict account from pub
lie servants and the punishment of de-
faulters.

Prof, TyndaIl on the Electric Light.
London Daily Sews.

But it was when Prof. Tyndall came
to deal with Mr.. Edison's real or re-
ported discoveries that his evidence be-
came Of most practical interest. He
declared, in the first place, that no
amount of subdivision would enable the
electric light to be exhibited without
some kind of modifying globe or shade,
the naked effulgence being intolerable
