A Man Of Sacrifices.
Galveston News.l

1t is not often that a man with his coat spill
down the back, piece of his ear gone, one
eye all banged up, and his mouth sticking out
like the toe of cast off boot, comes into
Photographic arena and asks to have his pic
ture taken just as he is; but that's what hap
pened yesterday in Galveston. The photo
grapher stared little, and finally asked:
Hadn't you better adjourn this meeting
over until after you come out of the hospital?"
The battered man fondled bump on the
side of his head, and replied;
II don't need any deputy. l am running
this machine by myself. Just you take the
pictures and I'll bear all the campaign ex-
penses. want two picturesque, full face,
showing the wrecked mouth and the eye
the scoundrel telescoped with his thumb,
and a side view, showing the site my ear used
to occupy. If you are afraid won't pay, just
sing out, and I'll file an indemnity bond.'
''All right" said the artist "just sit down
on that throne" The mutilated man sat
down and assumed such a sad expression of
countenance that the room grew dark with
gloom. After the operation was over, the suf-
ferer paid the bill, and wanted to know when
the artist was going to touch them up, as he
wanted to be present. He explained:
II want plenty OF gore painted on the site of
the ear. Just splash it on without regard to
expense. I'll pay for the extra gore. 1 want
it to look CHASTITY. 1 want it fixed up so it will
remind Hancock of Gettysburg
What's Hancock got to do with it?"
"He has everything to do with it, don't
look like it, but am the next postmaster of
Galveston provided Hancock don't want me
in his cabinet. You see I've made personal
sacrifices. 1 have suffered on his account. I
got all these credentials cheering for Hancock

Warped up in newspaper.
"You will have some pretty strong claims on
him. remarked the photographer. If
ahem-if you need a chief clerk in the post
office, l hope you will remember your friends"
and the artist casped the hand of the pa
triot
"All right, but mum is the word. Don't be
mean and stingy in putting plenty of gore on
the site of the missing ear"

'And keep quite, for If the other 32S appli-
cants see into my hand, they will run in a cold

credentials, the man who had made personal
sacrifices went out into the street in search Of a

A Story of Ticonderoga.

Dean Stanley tells the following story in
Frasers Magazine:
I'm the middle OF the last century the chief
of the Campbells of Inverawe had been giving
an entertainment at his castle on the banks of
the Awe. The party had broken up and
Campbell was left alone. He was reused by
violent knocking at the gate, and was sur
prsed at the appearance of one of his guests,
with torn garments and disheveled hair, de-
manding admission. L have killed a man,
and I am pursued by enemies | beseech you
to let me in. Swear upon your dirk-swear by
Ben Cruachan--that you will not betray me-
Campbell swore, and placed the fugitive in
secret place in the house. Presently there was
a second knocking at the gate 1t was party
of his guests, who said, Your cousin Donald
has been killed; where is the murderer" At
this announcement Campbell remembered the
great oath which he had sworn, gave an eva
sive answer, and sent oh the pursuers in
wrong direction. He then went to the fugi-
tive and said, You have killed my cousin
Donald. cannot keep you hereS, The muir
derer appealed TO his oath, and persuaded
Campbell to let him stay for the night
Campbell did so, and retired to rest. In the
visions of the night the blood stained Donald
appeared to him with these words: Inverawe
Inv rave, blood has been she'd; shield no. the
murderer In the morning Campbell went
to his guest, and told him that any further
shelter was impossible. He took him, how
ever, to cave in Ben Cruachan. and there

Campbell again slept, and again the blood
stained Donald appeared "Inverawe, Inyer-
ave. blood has been shed. Shield not the muir
derer.' On the morning he went to the cave
on the mountain, and the murderer had fed
Again at night he slept, and again the blood
stained Donald rose before him, and said, "In-
verawe, Inverawe, blood has been shed. We
shall not meet ain till we meet at Ticonde-
roga." He woke in the morning, and behold,
it was a dream. But the story of the triple ap-
partition stayed by him, and he often told it
among his kinsmen, asking always what the
ghost could mean by this mysterious word of
their final rendezvous.
"In 1853 there broke out the French and
English war In America, which after many re-
bluffs ended in the conquest of Quebec by Gen.
eral Wolfe. Campbell of Inverawe went out
with the Black Watch, the Forty-second High
land regiment, afterwards SO famous. There,
on the eve of an engagement the general came
to the officers and said: We had better not
tell Campbell the name of the fortress which
we are to attack tomorrow. 1t Is Ticondero-
ga; let us call it Fort George The assault
took place in the morning. Campbell was NOR
tally wounded. These were his last words
General, you have deceived me; 1 ha re seen
him again. This is Ticonderoga.'

New YORK Herald: The political situa-
ton is a little peculiar. The Republicans
have gained the preliminary battle of the
campaign and won it as handsomely as un-
expectedly: but the decisive contest is yet to
come. They will almost certainly gain that
too; all the signs now favor them; but they
ought not to win it by a scratch" If they
are wise, prompt and active they can make
their success and the Democratic defeat
overwhelming, and all the legitimate and
important interests of the country require
that it shall be that. The one calamity
which good men Of both parties dread is a
repetition Of the scenes of 1876

Canon Farrar on the Broad Church.

LII HIS duuTeSS UtlOre tHt recent Cnurcn con-
gress in England, Canon Farrar said:
Practically, we may say that the school
which is called Low Church, and which pre-
fers to call itself Evangelical-the party whose
glory it is to have the possession, and whose
temptation it is to claim the monopoly of Cos
pei truths-the party which rightly and nobly
upholds the claim of the individual Judgment
to the Interpretation of Scripture, owes its re-
vival in the great outburst Of religious life in
the days of the Methodists The party which
is called High Church, and which prefers to
call itself Anglican or Catholic-the party
which rightly and nobly lays a deep stress on
the Church and the sacraments-dates It's re-
vival from the great Oxford movement of
which some of the leaders still live in honored
age. The party which is called Broad Church
and which prefers not to be called party at
all-which in point of fact is not party
which has no party interests, no party Organ-
zation, no party shibboleths; which would be
false to it's own most cherished principles il it
strove to enlist either for its friends the loud
eulogies or for its opponents the envenomed
depreciation OF party newspapers-dates its
revival from the Cambridge Platonists. 1t has
no shadow of enmity toward the High Church
party. Like them, it attaches deep value to
the historic continuity of the Church; like
them, 1t has no jealousy of symbolic. like them
1t delights In art and music as consecrated
landmarks in the service of religion. 1t has
no shadow of enmity toward the Low Church
