nasty, it is related, four priests arrived
at Yedo from the south, bearing petit
ton to the Government. Their prayer
was not granted, nor was its tenor
made public, but a ward of the city,
known as Hdshinaoto Che, was resigned
to them as a residence, and they were
placed under special protection. 1t has
been supposed that their object was to
originate. a new Shin Mon (religious
sect, and to this day their followers are
known as Ga,s-rsin-6oy (priest petition
ers). Admission to this sect is often
sought for by very poor persons. The
sect is not recognized and possesses no
temples, but holds herself aloof from
all others. Pilgrims, who during the
period of their pilgrimage are known as
Jaess Rel, are to be met with on the roads
at all seasons, clad in white cotton.
They are chiefly of the farming or arti-
san class, who hope to earn dispense
tons by their pilgrimage. They have to
visit sixty-six of the numerous shrines OF
Katan'ao1s (known to Europeans as the
Buddhist goddess of mercy, which are
scattered throughout the empire.-COr.

A Romantic Meeting Of Father and
Daughter.

OVER twenty years ago there were
married at Huntsville, in this county,
Charles Anderson and Miss Brown, who,
after happy honeymoon, moved to
Noblesville, Ind, where they embarked
upon the sea of matrimony, apparently
contented with each other and with
bright prospects for smooth voyage
through life. Over year after their
marriage daughter was born, bringing
with it heavy squalls, terminating in
separation after two years of marital
bliss, the mother taking the child with
her and the father enlisting in an Indi-
ana regiment, not before, however, he
had taken last farewell of his daughter
and making last but futile attempt to
bring about a reconciliation between
himself and his wife. He passed through
the entire war, and returned after the
final grand review at Washington City
to his old home ir Hamilton County,
full of happiness at the prospect of see
ing his child and perhaps bridging the
chasm that existed between himself and
wife, but there he learned that his wife
had obtained a divorce from him and
left for parts unknown, taking the child

not rid himself of the love for his daugh-
ter, and since that time has been seeking
her, all in vain, until last week he
learned that his wife, after being di.
vorced from him, returned to this county
and married man named Hughes, and
her daughter, having ripened into wom-
anhood, was married not long since to
William Bush, living short distance
north of this city, she being under the
impression that her father was killed in
the war. Anderson came to this city
last Wednesday, and after fully convinc.
ing himself that Mrs. Bush was his long
searched-for daughter, went to her
home, where he established his identity.
The meeting is described as being very
affecting, and this story furnishes rare
material for first-class romance. An
derson remained with his daughter until
yesterday, when he left for his home in

Why RochefOrt's Servant Killed Her.
self.

HENRI RoCHEFoRT brought with his
family from exile in Switzerland Louise
Gaillard, young servant girl of sixteen,
who, though exceedingly honest and
amiable, was supplemented and mex
perienced. During the frequent fits OF
vexation that her blunders caused,
Rochefort would exclaim, half in earn
est and half in jest, I'll kill you! III
have you placed on the next list OF ex-
ecutions!h The girl thought he was in
earnest and was greatly frightened. A
fortnight ago he sent her to the Office of
the IntranSigeant, the paper of which
he is editor, with a note to his associate.
MIR. Reinach, requesting one hundred
francs by the bearer. Rochefort told
the girl that she was to bring him the
money, and said: "Now, if you lose it
I'll kill you The girl lost Reinach's
note containing the funds. Greatly dis
tressed, she purchased some poison,
which she took on reaching her bed
room. After several hours she was
found on the floor near the door, which
she had attempted in her agony to
reach. Restoratives were administered,
but she died shortly after. Rochefort,
who blamed himself for the girls act,
was profoundly distressed and temper
arily delirious. Her gentleness and
beauty of character had won greatly on
his sympathy, and he was much at
tached to her. The note to his address
which she had lost was subsequently
found and brought to him.-Cour1er deS

Mayor Stokley's Story.

MAYOR SToKLEY, of Philadelphia,

boys, said:

Bathrooms.

BATHROOMS, or good conveniences
for bathing, ought to be found in every
farmhouse; and yet it is an unpleasant
fact that they are often entirely lacking,
and that daily or semi-weekly call
over" bath is something undreamed of
by many so-called civilized people who
pride themselves upon their neat habits.
This really religious duty of keeping the
whole body clean does not occur to
them, and the neglect of it is one of the
numerous ways in which busy, hard
working people abuse themselves.
Every villa, pretty country cottage
and first-class farmhouse now has its
well-appointed bathroom, and SO may
the little three-cornered "shantie," or
the log cabin of the pioneer, have its
possibilities for bathing. If all can not
command special room with its ample
tubs, showers, douches, and convenient
supplies of hot and cold water, all can
have at least the seclusion of a closet, to
which it is easy to carry basin of water
and sponge.
A bit of room might ho h~;lt I'D

hinged window opening near the cook

within arms reach. Then, with the
addition of bath tub, or even large
laundry tub, with piece of rubber hose
fixed in the bottom to carry off water
to the drain, pegs for hanging towels
and sponges, and bracket for holding
soaps-and that better than all soaps,
abottle of ammonia-it is a bathroom
good enough for a king.
A very good shower bath can be had
by suspending a watering-pot from a
strong hook in the ceiling, the bather to
regulate the showering by means of a
string attached to the spout. 1t will be
found almost as satisfactory as the port
able ones soldin house-furnishing shops.

FROM the inquiries conducted by Pro-
fessor Hermann COIN, of Breslau, since
1865, it appears that short-sightedness is
rarely or never born with those subject

strains sustained by the eye during study
in early youth. A better construction
of school desks, an improved Typography
of textbooks, and sufficient lighting Of
elass-rooms are the remedies proposed
to abate this malady.

Life A Disappointment.

LIFE is a disappointment to so many
chiefly because when starting in it they
overestimated their own strength and
moderated that of their competitors.
Self-sutficiency and ignorance are the
pioneers of defeated expectations. The
looker-on is not disappointed; it is the
actor who is. Overweening self-confi-
dence refuses to see difficulties; and thus
the preparation which might overcome
them is neglected. The defeat is crush
ing, because it is deemed impossible.
Presumption and arrogance have burned
the bridges, and left no opportunity to
gather the shattered forces by retreat.
Although science and philosophy will
greatly assist toward averting many of
the consequences of error and mistake,
yet there is no infallible rule for one to
follow, which guides one always safely
and pleasantly. Each generation must
learn for itself. There is point where
teaching ends and experience begins. 1t
is this which has set bounds to human
knowledge. No man can take up the
work of another and pursue it with the
same efficiency and success. The father
can not give or bequeath the child his
matured experience, as he can his
property. Men may vaunt them
selves as they will, but there is a
limit to their power; and that
limit seems in some cases to have
been reached in one man. Shakespeare
and Bacon had no successors. No man
has been able to take up their work
where they left it. So far as mems eff
L,os, 70
be completed. No man has yet APP
peared who can equal what they have
done, much less improve upon it. As
far as we know, they reached the limit
of mans power in the direction in which
they taught. The child must mistake
the road just as the parent mistook it,
and learn which is the right road often
only when too old and weary to walk in
it. And is it not we'll that it is SOP The
wisdom of age and the form of youth
can not be joined in beauty. Could the
young know their true strength, and
foreses the difficulties they have to en-
counter, they would not fail by the way,
but would faint in the beginning. Fav-
orable circumstances bear men on to
fortune to a greater extent than the sue
cessful are willing to admit. But, hap
PLY, wealth is far from being the meas
ure of success; indeed, a true success is
developed character, high and noble
manhood, that ministers to the great

the porter could remain outside her
room while she did so. This was assent
ed to, and presently she appeared, look
ing so trim and pretty in her new gown
that the dazzled porter did not dream
of objecting to her slipping downstairs
minute to show herself to a friend.
Down she slipped accordingly, and kept
on into the street, and has not been
heard of since. This kind of thing
makes tradesmen somewhat cautious,
and must excuse the watchfulness with
which sometimes they regard unknown
customers.
