A CELEBRATED RUNNER.

The pedestrian feats of the present day
are, the Boston Journal says, cast into
the shade by the recorded exploits of
Ernst MenGen, q Norwegian sailor in the
English navy, early in the present Gen.
tury. Mensen first attracted attention
by running from London to Portsmouth
in nine hours, and soon after he ran
from London 70 Liverpool in thirty-two
hours, Having distinguished himself at
the battle of NayarIno, in 1927, he left
the navy and became professional run
per. After winning a number of match
es he undertook the feat of running from
Place Vendome at four O'Clock in the at
/ ternoOn of June II, 1881. he entered the
Kremlin at 10 O'Clock a. m. on June %,
having accomplished the distance of l.
76O miles in thirteen days and eighteen
hours. The employment of Mensen as
a cOurier-extraOrdinar soon became a
popular amusement in European courts.
He ran from country TO country, heaFing
messages of congratulation, coincidence,
or dispatches, aud always heat mounted
coUgieTs when matched against them.
He never walked, but invariably ran,
his only refreshment being one biscuit
and an ounce of raspberry syrup per
day, and two short rests of ten or fifteen
minutes each in twenty-four hOaFs.
These rests he took staR6siagi and, lean
ing against 9 tTee ar other support, at
such times he covered his face with a
handkerchief and slept. After the nap
he pursued his way as much refresh
ed as though he had slept for hours. In
1896, swhile in the employ of the East
India company, MenseH was charged
with the conveying through central As
ia. The distance is 5,615 miles, which
the messenger accomplished in fifty
nine days, or in One-third of the time
made by the swiftest caravan. At las
ne was employed to discover the source
of the Nile. Settling gut from Gilesia
on May q. 1s43 he ran to Jerusalem,
| aud thence ia CaiFN, and up the western
bank of the river into Upper Egypt.
Here, just outside the village of Syang,
he was seen TO stop and rest, leaning
against a palm-tree, his face covered
with handkerchief. He rested 50 long
that some persona tried to wake him |;
but they tried in vain, for he was dead.
He was buried at the foot of the tree,
and IL was years before his friends in
Europe knew what fate had befallen
him.-Pall Mall Gazette.

In the whole range of sacred and pro-
fame literature, perhaps there is nothing
recorded which has such staying quail
ties as II good, healthy mortgage. A
mortgage can be depended upon to stick
closer than brother. 1t has mission
10 perform which never lets up.
Day after day it is right there, nor
does the slightest tendency to slumber
impair its vigor in the night. Night
and day, on the Sabbath, and at holiday
times, without a moments time for rest
and recreation, the biting offspring OF
its exIstence-interest-g on. The
seasons may change, days run into weeks,
weeks into months, and months may be
swallowed into the gray man of advanc.
ing years, but that mortgage stands in
sleepless vigilance. with the interest, a
perennial stream ceaselessly running on
Like huge nightmare eating out tho
sleep of some restless slumberer, the un.
paid mortgage rears its gaunt form in
perpetual torment to the miserable wight
who is held within its pitiless clutch.
1t holds the poor victims with1he re
lentless grasp of giant, with not onG
hour of recreation, nor n moments eva
sion of its hideous presence. 1t is Il
genial savage of modifying aspect while
the interest is paid; very devil of hope

Senator Windows recent speech was
not one of glittering generalities, but
was II regular grape and canister fire OF
facts which it is impossible for the dem
ocrats to controvert. He said:
mark the contrast. In 1860 this ma
ton, under democratic rule, sold its
per cent. bonds at S9.l cents on the dol
lar. In 1879 the same nation, under re
publican rule, is selling its per cent
bonds ut 1903.
I'm 1860 this republic was begging ar
endorser for its dishonored credit. In
1879 the financial world is begging d
chance To buy its per cent bonds.
Think of this disgraceful national
bankruptcy in 1860 and then remember
the crowds of people who recently stood
in line, extending from the center o.
Pennsylvania avenue to the treasurer's
office, waiting from sunrise until sunset
To obtain those coveted bonds.
nnemopraGy denounces the 'blOatef
bOntlholder," but pays min ~ per cent
inteftstf for his MONEY Repuhlioanism
demands Justice for all, but pays tiIt
bondholdcr only per cent. interest.
"If. in 1861, 9 per cent 800 United
States bond having 20 years TO run, sole
for $50. 10, upon the same basis of in
vestment, a 800 2S-year 4 per cent bono
should now sell for only $4S.S4, instead
of SlO3, the present market price. The
verdict of the financial world, therefore
is that the credit of this nation has ad
vanced over 100 per cent. under republi
can rule. This statement, however, fall,
very fur short Of the whole truth, for II
1860, upon o proposed loan of $sa, 900,
600, only SIS, ais 900 could be sold, Will,
is 1870 offers have been receive,
amounting to over $150,OOO,O 900 in

do you say this contrast is unfair be
cause n great war was impending in Feh

and the bankruptcy were the fruits o
democratic rule. No republican haG
either ipaVgurated or threatened wal
No republican had either voted Gnr sc

$lOOOO0,OOO for foreign grain. By far
