A Stream OfCharity.

During the late epidemic Vicks-
burg received nearly $1,000 from
kind and generous givers all over
the Union. The amount received
by all the fever districts foot up
early 100000. 1t is hard to
estimate the good that was done,
he suffering that was relieved,
and the horrors that were averted
by this wholesale charity. The
mind fails to grasp the immensely
of the magnanimity of acts that
record themselves by hundreds,
thousands, tens of thousands and
millions of dollars! 1t is like one
trying to conceive of the vastness of
the empire in which this was done.
If it were possible to estimate
the vast plains, rivers, noun
tains, forests and lands that stretch
from the Gulf to the great lakes,
and from ocean to ocean, it would
be possible to somewhat appreciate
the vastness of the aid received.
Our people cried out in their dis
tress, and relief from every quar-
ter flowed in on them in one con-
tinuous stream for months. The
gifts were only limited by the
wants of the suffering. No ques-
ton was asked; no refusals were
thought of, end the world wit
ness d the spectacle of q great
civilized people engaged in the
task of pouring out wealth to re-
lieve the sutferings of fellow beings.
Philanthrophy is truly said to be
the noblest trait of human nature.
Philantrophy and charity are the
evidences of the highest civiliza-
ton. These are possessed in a
higher degree by the American
people than by any other people
on earth. History does not reco rd
any evants that will compare to
the universal cherity displayed in
the Uuited States in 1875 Vicks-
burg HreGid.

What is "Tucking..s
Reno lNev.l Gazette.

\ bothered looking citizen came
into the Gazette office yesterday
afternoon and respectfully asked
to be let look NJ the dictionary.
He sat down and rather anxiously
I thumbed Webster awhile.
| "What word are you looking
for? asked reporter, seeing that
the stranger had failed 10 strike
the trail.
"Well,n said the man in a burst
of confidence, you see I've only
been married short time and
my wife's gone up 10 Truckee on
a visit, and she's written 10 me to
! look in the bottom Of her trunk
.or lot OF 'tucking' and send it to
her. Now, VIII I | want to know
is, what in blazes is "tuckiug?, 1t
amt in the dictionary
"Tucking?" said the reporter
briskly, A." why, tucking is the stuff
girls make by pokilg a sort OF
short-turned fish. hook through a
hole and catching the thread and
drawing ii back again.
Then the editor spoke up con-
| temptuously, and said that a man
whO was so ignorant as that ought
TO hold his tongue. What the re-
porter has described was crochet
ing. Every body ought TO know
what tucking was. The ladies iu
making 1t used a little contrivance
shaped like mussel with thread
wound up inside of it. Tucking
could be purchased, he believed,
for 10 or 10 cents yard, and why
intelligent girls should waste a
whole day in making what they
could get for short bit was more
than he could understand. In
answer to question foom the ad
miring reporter, the editor said he
had been told that tucking was
used in trimming the undergar-
ments of the fair sex, but why
things should be ornamented
which a fellow would get licked
for trying to look at--or perhaps
shot-was beyond his compre-
hension.
The married stranger said the
editor was mistaken; that the ar
iicle he mentioned was not tucking
1t was tatting. This he knew
for a fact.
The editor observed that when
man came to the Gazette office for
information the editor. when he
gave it didn't like to be told he
lied, If the stranger wanted to
avoid any trouble he had better
get out and 60 to the devil. AS
the editor had grown red in the
face and his eyes were blazing the
married stranger coughed feebly
and sunk down stairs.
In the meantime, what is "tuck-

Ralph hollands Diamonds

From the Cumberla nd Valley Spirit. J
Previous to the burial of Ralph
ROLAND, the Chambersburg bank
robber, whose death was referred
to in these columns last week, tel
egrams were sent to the first wife
of the convict, in Chicago, who
had chung to him through his bad
career; but she replied that she
did not want the body, and so 1t
was laid in the paupers' field.
The death of this man is liable to
lead to some very interesting liti-
gation.over the ownership Of S1O,-
600 worth of diamonds which were
found in the handle of his shaving
brush in prison some time ago,
and which he intended to use In
bribing a Waterman in order to
effect his escape. There are forty
two stones in all, which had at one
time been set in a necklace or
brooch. II is thought that the
woman who claims to be his second
wife will demand the Jewels,
while his wife is not believed to be
willing to let them slip out of her
hands.

His First Sunday school.
Kansas CitY Times.

On Sunday there was a double
wedding at the First Baptist
church at Independence, at which
two young ladies named Harris
were united to two gentlemen
from HarriSonville, Mr.. Burns
Christian and Mr.. Louis f. Pier
son. Recorder Finney, of the po-
lice court, was invited to be pres
ent, and started down there at an
early hour. When he arrived Sun
day school was in progress, but he
went into the church unconscious
of anything of the kind. When
ne saw the crowd of young
people he was astonished, and
cried out:
"What have We here-a picnic?"
The superintendent, Mr.. Frank
lin, stepped back to where his
honor was standing viewing the
crowd of happy children, and in
vited him to be seated.
But asked the old man,
"what kind of carrying-on is this
for the holy Sabbath day? Don't
you know better than to have a
picnic in the church ?" his lips
quivering and the tears starting
from his eyes.
The superintendent explained
that the gathering was Sunday
school held for the purpose of in
structing the children about the
bible.
"a Sunday school?" said he,
looking puzzled. II never heard
of such a thing before in all my
life-dog-on my hide If have ~
Quickly enthusiastically the
kind-hearted superintendent led
the good man out, and by the
time the services were concluded
he had some idea of what the ex.
ercises were for. But the wedding
was what he wanted to see, and he
asked Mr.. Franklin when it was
to come off.
IL came down here" said the
old man, ito see how these preach.

school business is what knocks
me, aud l must 60 out and take
a smoke to settle my nerves. and
he crossed the street to sit in the
shade of friendly tree.
When the ceremony was con-
cluded the recorder was the hap
piest man In the church. He kiss.

at the wedding dinner he said

What is the matter Dave? ?" his
wife asked, who had entered the
room just then. Come she said,
in The most persuasive manner,
tel me what worries you ?"
L might as well tell her, and
relieve my mi1d,' he thought.
"She will only laugh at me, for it
isn't true"

he sat still puzzled and bereft OF

faith and confidence in what you

He raised his eyes to hers as he
finished speaking; and on her
face, which was flushed, was what
looked very much like an express
sion Of Shame and her glance did
notmeet his, for her eyes were cast
down.
Dave" she said, "you have
heard the t. nth. They have met
me under the names you men
ton"
He uttered startled excIama-
ton but she rapidly went on:
Dave, unfolded to you all my
past life excepting only the char
acter Of my late husband.
HE was unsuccessful in business
during the first year of our mar
riage, and having no means of sup
porting himself and me, and being
unable, after several efforts, 70 OBJ
tain situation, he thought the
world was using him and,
being nerved to desperation, cast
all principle aside, took to sWind-
ling people as means of mainte-
nance.
"He went from one place to an-
other, changing his name when he
removed to a different section of
the country to prevent discovery
or recognition.
II pleaded with him on my
knees to try and gain an honest
living; told him l would be will
ling to live in the plainest posi-
BILE manner; but in vain.
Il only refrained from telling
you this through fear that it might
pain you to know that had led
such a miserable life.
This is the truth"
He had listened TO her in silence;
but as she finished he clasped her
in his arms and said:
"Forgive me darling, for my
momentary suspicion. / believe
all you have told me. The mere
thought that you were false mad
dened me, for | love you as Wo-
man was never loved before"
And he proved his assertion
for their after life was one Of peaca
and contentment-of unclouded
happiness.
