Mr.. Redpath tells the following sto-
ry Of Mark Twain:
1 think it was Marks second year of
lccturing in the East. He told me one
day that he was going to get married,
and he wanted me to 20 with him to
buy what you would have called q
"trOusseau" if you had been Q woman.
He bought enough for century or
two he comes from q long-lived race,
and he had an eye to the future. He
was not worth more than $2O, 900 or
$25, 900 at the time, guess. He has
made since over 100000 by his book
and lectures and interests in insurance
companies at Hartford, where he lives.
He went AMI got married at Elmira,
where his t:,ther-in-law lived. The
latter Was millionaire, one of the
coal-mininy lords. Mark had asked
his friends III the editoria. Office to Sc
lect q first-class suite Of rooms in q
fashionable clearinghouse, and to
have carriage ready to take his bride
and himself there when they came to
Buffalo. He knew they would do it,
and gave himself no more anxiety
about it. When he reached Buffalo
he found the boys, sure enough, at the
depot with the finest carriage and
span of horses he had ever seen in that
city. They drove him up to hand
some house in an aristoclatic street,
and as the door was opened, there
were the parents of the bride to well
come him home. AS the story was
told mel didn't get it from Mark
the BRIDES folks had come up, without
his knowledge, by special train.
Mark went from room to room. and
found every room furnished exquisite
ly-some in blue and some in yellow
furniture and upholstery of
the most luxurious and expensive
styles. Then he was informed "offic-
tally" that he had been driven up by
his own coachman in his own carriage
to his own house. They say tears
came to Marks eyes, although his
bright eyes-the keenest
and clearest and most penetrating eyes
I ever saw in any mans hcad-aren't
given TO weeping as a regular business.
He could not find words to stexpress
his sentiments" SO he only ''rose to
explain" "Well, this is q first-class
sWindle!" he stammered.

THE IRISH IN AMERICA.
a leading Radical journal on Mr..
ParneII's Hint of a Possible Inva-
Pail Mall Gazette.


There is portion Of Mr.. Parnells
speech on Sunday which viii be read
by most Englishmen with incredulity,
and by some with positive derision.
1t is that in which he says that the
Irishmen in America who have helped
their countrymen with money will be
ready to do so more vigorously and
more elfectually when they can come
forward with prospect of success. 1t
is no secret that the funds with which
the league operates have come from
the other side of the Atlantic and it
may well be surmised that a good many
of the violent thirgs that are said
are spoken not to Ireland or to Eng
land, but to the American Irish, who
naturally require something for Their
Inoney-strong language, if nothing
else. On Sunday Mr. Parnell made
his meaning quite clear. There was
indeed, little attempt to hint at what
was intended 1t wa5 a distinct and
definite threat that when the Irish had
organized sufficiently to fight on some
thing like terms of equality with Eng
lard, Irishmen would speedily land
from America in sufficient numbers
and well enough armed and drilled to
turn the scale in favor Of their country
men. The bitter hatred Of England,
which row comes outin every sentence
Of Mr.. Parnell's speeches, gave point to
his threat. IF he could secure the
help Of an Irish-American contingent
to bring on civil war at time when
it seemed likely on other grounds he
would win, there is little doubt that he
would do it. What Is more-all ridicu
Ious notwithstanding-there is very
little doubt that unless the government
of the United States kept sharper
lookout than is perhaps possible for
them to keep, such a contingent would
come readily enough on well-backed
invitation. 1t is as well that we should
not deceive ourselves about the feeling
ola vast number, perhaps the ma
iority, of the Irish on the other side
Of the Atlantic If they get
the chance they mean business. The
wrongs of Ireland are constantly kept
before their eyes. Even the Irish
born ir America do not forget the
disagreement from which their
fathers suffered. A regular organiza-
tion-more than one, indeed,-is main
tanned specially to keep Irish affairs
| before the irish and to collect sub"crip-

The Postal-Card- Around the World Bus
mess to be Stopped.

\ letter has been received at the
post office department from the
British Superintendent of foreign mails
at London, inclosing two postal cards
mailed at Philadelphia for transmission
from point to point around the world
and final delivery to the sender, with
the remark that the number of such
experim9 nts has increased so largely
that it is now considered time to stop
the practice, there being no provision
in the postal union treaty for the
transmission of correspondence from
place to place except in cases of gen.
uine redireetion. Our superintendent OF
foreign mails is therefore requested by
the English authorities to prevent such
cards, etc, from being forwarded in
future, and orders will be issued &C
cordingly.

A RICH MENDICANT PREACHER.
Rev John f.. Giles Dies in the Great
est Poverty with $1,000 On His
Person.
New y DIRK World.


All the river papers have been filled
with singular stories about a man
known as Rev. John Edward Giles,
aged and poorly clad, who arrived at
Neskayuna, n. Y, last Tuesday night
! in an exhausted condition and in q
dav or two afterwards died. On his
pc; on were found $4,000 in govern
ment bonds and $500 or $500 in bank
bills. Letters and papers were also
found on him from w. II. Adams,
president of the National Christian
Temperance Association, No. % Park
Row, n Y; J. n. Halleck, publisher
of the Christian at Work, and from J.
3. Sylvester, Chatham Centre.
Five years ago an elderly man APP
peared near Sharon Springs following
the pursuit of a colporteur, which
seemed to pay him quite well, although
he always appeared to he very poor
and was considered an object of chart
ty. He would dispose of religious
tracts and sermons and receive sub
scriptions for religious papers and
| magazines. He was very reticent con
corning his previous life and personal
history, and when questioned, as he
frequently was, would say 'Don't
ask me; | don't like to speak of it. !"
He gave people to understand that he
had wife and daughter, and it is sup
| posed they resided somewhere in
! Duchess county, from which county
the colporteur is thought to have hail
ed.
1t was always subject of remark
among the people with whom Mr.
/ Giles tarried that he carried a small
but old bundle supposed to contain
! nothing but rags. This bundle never
left his sight or was placed beyond his
reach. 1t contained his money and
his bonds. Eighteen months ago the
dominic, as he was Familiarity called,
was stricken with paralysis, which al
fected his mind and rendered him IN
different to his personal attire; which
had formerly been rather neat. He
allowed himself to become ragged and
filthy, and people who had formerly
allowed MIN to sit at their tables and
occupy their beds now gave him cold
bite at the door and directed him to
| the barn or wood shed. One time he
remained Saturday night with Rev.
| Mr.. Bruce, of South Valley, Otsego
county. At the breakfast table Sunday
morning he asked Mr. Bruce if it was
not time for service. Half an hour af-
ter Mr.. Giles.picked up his bundle and
started for the church, and the pastor
on his arrival found him i'll the pulpit.
Very indignant, the pastor took
a seat directly in front of the pulpit,
thinking that after giving out a hymn
the ancient vender of tracts would step
down and out; but he didn't He went
straight ahead and preached Il stirring
sermon, wich delighted the congrega-
ton.

Among physical impossbilties is that Of en-

the bowels are irregular, the secretion and tQw

tions which interfere--as they surely do-with
the acquisition of strength and flesh, the dyspcp-

Stomach bitters, medicine which has been ac-
corded the highest sanction in professional quar-
ters ami which time and experience have proved
to be deserving of the popularity which it has
gained on its merits. Whether chronic disorder
Of the digestive or secretiyo organs is due, as is
usually the case, to a want of vigor and activity
or to temporary irregularity in the per .ormance
of their functions the Bitters has invariably
