Brother Gardner in Il solemn voice as
he looked up and down the aisles. "at

der Charles Climax Goshport, Il local
member of dis club. passed from y'arth
to de unknown. Only Il week ago he
sat i'll dis hall; tonight he am dressed
fur de grave. What ackShun will dc

81 'spOse, sah," said the Rev. PEN
stock rs he rose up, "dit il am i'm order
to present a resolushun TO de effeck dat
he was a man of de highest integrity.
libbral-heartcd, high-mindcd, an dat
his loss am a sad blow TO de hull CITY,"
"Yes, such a resOlushun am inorder.
Brudder PcnStOck can you remember
dat you cher took Brudder Goshport by
dc hand an gin him a word of praise
fur his hard work an honest ways?"
"I-l-doan' remember dat / ebcr

"Am dar a pusson in dis hall who
kin remember dat he cher put hisself
out TO favor Bruddcr Goshport?"
Not n man answered.
kin any one of you remember dat
you took any pertickIcr interes' in how
he got along?"
Not a voice was heard in reply.
ITO be a little palmer" continued
the President, IAN dar' onc single
pussOn i'm dis hall who cher felt five
cents worth of anxiety fur Brudder
Goshport's worldly or spiritual wei
fare:?"
The hall was SO quiet that the sound
of Elder Toots rubbing his back on the
sharp edge OF n windOw-casing gave
everybody a start.
mot a man in dis hull club-nOt a
man in dis hull city, SO far rs we know,
cher put hisself out TO do a favor for or
speak a word in praise of our lamented
brudder, an yet we have the cheek to
talk of a resolushun settin' forth his
many vartues an our heartfelt sorrowi
No, sirl We doan' pass no SIGH bizness
heah! l should be ashamed to look his
widder in de face, if we did. 1t am de
way of de world to let men alone list
when a leetle help would give 'em a
broad and easy road. We h'ar of dis
man or dat man havin' won de graft
tude of de people. but we doan' hSar of
it until he am dead. When a man has
gone from y'arth de papers an de public
suddenly di>kiver how honest he was;
what a big heart he had; how much
good he was allus doin', an what a loss
10 de world his death will prove. De
time to praise a mar is when he am
Twin beside us. Praise hurts nobody,
but many a good man has grown weary
fur de want of appreciashun. Heah am
seventy-two of us in dis hall tonight,
we have to own up dat not one of

The recipient of these communica-
tions went TO New York. where. after
some fOrmalities, he met the swindler.
He was taken to a furnished room,
where he was shown g, 900 i'm bills. On
examination the dupe could perceive no
indications Of their being counterfeit.
n it was not TO be wondered at, for
they were all genuine. He hastily
planted down $500, and the none was
placed in a cigar-b box before his eyes. A
boy was sent out for a sachel i'm which
the box was placed. I'm company with
the dealer he went 10 the express Office.
where he saw the valiSe shipped TO his
home. When he himself had nearly
arrived at the place he joyfully tele-
graphed TO his partner that he "had
got then," and when the train arrived
at the depot the two went into a seclud-
ed spot where the valise was unlocked
and the precious cigar-bOx opened. OF
course it was the old game. For $500
and the expenses Of the trip the green
horn had secured n small package of
clean sawdust. Exactly how the trans
fer was made he could not tell, but he
none the less duly informed the Secret
Service agents that he had been swim
died. But little sympathy can be
shown to such victims who were swim
died in an attempt to swindlc; and in
addition to this the only way of punish
ing these frauds is a prosecution for a
violation OF the postal laws.
This face-to-face modification of the
''boOdle game" has been played very
extensively of late, and the sharpers
have reapcd an abundant harvest with
in the past six months. There are sew
"a IlouliISdIiOus III tHc C~lICuldTs. Dul
all are c.evcrly worded. One man adj
v~ertises that he wouldn't for the world
sell any counterfeit money. He has,
however, some samples of the Green
back" and Canadian" cigars which
he will dispose of face to face for n con-
sideration. Another adyert;scs cigars
outright, but tacks Oh a clipping from
a newspaper in which an account is
given of the capture of counterfeit
notes on the person of a cigar dealer.
There seem TO be a nest of these
swindlers who have revived the old |
game with a cunning and address
which has succeeded in swindling sew
eral old heads who had already been
taken in. The chief worker seems to
be this Captain Fisher. whose favorite
fields are the Astor House and the
Vanderbilt Hotel in New York. In
spite of repeated exposures he has been
doing a thriving business, and CON-
plants of his operations are of almost
daily occurrence. While the crop of
greenhorns holds out in the country dis
tricts, he and his brethren will live on
the fat of the land.-C Chicago Tribune.

An ESquimau Hunting Camr.

During the latter part of the month
of August, | visited one of these hunt
ing camps on the southern bank of Con-
merry River, above the gateway through
which the search party passed on the
return from King Williams Land, in
February, 1880. In this camp were
three tuPic', containing four families.
and when moving camp. which occur
red every other day while l was with
them, every one. old and young. men
and women. had his load, and the dogs
staggered under burdens that would I'LL

river, which was accomplished ut q
portage over and through the stones of
which the water dashed with great vio-
lence, did any one 90 tn the assistance
OF the old woman. Then two young
men took her light frame in their
brawny arms and carried her safely
through the torrent. landing her upon
the opposite shore, where she was again

is astonishing what burdens these pco-
pie will carry upon their bucks, by
means of 4 thong which passes across
the breast and just below the shoulders,
sometimes supported by IN additional

their share of the load. the women have
the youngest child in their hoods or sit

around the mothers neck. The men
seldom offer to relieve their partners

which case the father will sometimes

Worry.

If you find yourself disposed to give
way to that mind-weakening, happiness
destroying disease of worry, try to re-
cuperate your nervous system. Go to
bed and sleep your imaginary troubles
away. If You cannot sleep, it is 4 sign
that your blood is sluggish; your ncrv-
GUS system is used up; your muscular
system has had little or no employment.
Then do something to tire the muscles
and start the blood. DO not fall into
the delusivc mare of gentle exercise"
that is admissible only for invalids.
Whatsoever you do. do it with all your
might Take n tramp on the hills; saw
wood; ride horseback; give fifteen min
utes to an Indian club or a pair of not
too heavy dumb-bells; run; Jump; any,
thing to exert your body and stop the
exertion Of your mind, to set your mus
cies into exercise and give your erves
. rest. Get into \ glow and 3 perspira-
ton. and make Yourself feel thorough
ly, heal,hily tired. Then take . bath.
get on clean clothes. eat q light meal
with . good appetite. and go to bed;
and, q chances to one, you will go to
sleep and wake in the morning cheerful
and hopeful. prepared to laugh at your
melancholy.

Chm State Central Committee.


The condition of the President is
causing the gravest apprehension.
The case is admitted to be almost
hopeless. DR.. Bliss continues to feel
cheerful and to give hopeful opinions,
but it is evident that the Doctor is
constitutionally hopeful. He evident
ly considers it his duty to keep up an
appearance of hope, lest the loss of it
would result in the Presidents imme-
diate death. 1t is hard struggle that
is being fought by that brave man for
life. The case becomes more compli.
Gated day by day, and the amount OF
suffering of body and mind to keep the
scales from tipping the unfavorable
way, and to keep up hope and con-
seriousness, and cheerfulneSS, Is tremen-
dous. The President endures it all
wonderfully well, but what must be
the state of mind in which he lies
there and counts the hours and feels
the chances growing less and less, hop
ing against hope. There is just a
ray of hope. AS there have been many
favorable changes when it seemed
that all was gone heretofore, so will
the people look for relief from the inn
pending danger. May it truly come
is the prayer that goes up from mil
lions of hearts.
