A Mothers Love.

private letter brings us this sinou-
| lar story. A widowed lady in New York
| gave her only daughterin marriage 10 a
| physician who lived in California. The
mother and daughter were deeply al
| tached To each other. and had been in
separable companions for wears
After the newly married couple had
gone, the mother, who was an invalid,
sank suddenly and rapidly. kilograms
were sent after them urging them TO re-
turn, but rs their exact course was not
known the messages failed TO reach
them.
The mother grew worse. Her PRAYER
was that she might live to see her child
again if but for a moment. On the after
noon before her death she was left alone
for few minutes. and when her attend
ant returned. she was found sitting up
in bed, her cheeks flushed, her face il
lumined with delight.
Have YOU seen Charlotte?" she asked.
~''She has Just gone into the other room.
Charlotte has not come" they said.
''Oh ves," she replied smiling, Il
have had her in my arms. | kissed her.
God has been so good tome, to bring
her back in timer and so talking she
sank into an exhausted slumber from
which she never awoke.
Now on this afternoon the daughter
was in Omaha. totally ignorant of her
mother Illness. Her husband afterwards
wrote that ON that afternoon, being in
their private parlor i'm hotel, she sud-
denly sank into deep sleep which
lasted nearly an hour. From this she
awoke pale and sobbing, saving she had
dreamed she was with her mother, who
looked strangely i'll and exhausted. The
impression. however. soon passed away.
This coincidence, of course. can easily
be explained on natural grounds and
Vet one almost wishes that il could not
be explained. We would like 10 believe
against reason that the mothers love
would be strong enough To bring back
her child for that brief moment 10 ease
the pain OF death.

cred in the hardened mud OF, new eXca-

Utica O5se1per Thus far there has
been scarcely IN indication at Long
Branch that they are two sides TO this
tariff question. The 100000 people
who make money out Of the tariff have
made great deal of noise; no one has
spoken for the 10000, 600 of people who
have been robbed by the tariff. The commits
sioners seem to share in the notion of
their interested witnesses-tha these 80,
100000 are simply beasts of burden,
hewers of wood and drawers of water,
whose views OF the tariff are no more to
be consulted than We're those OF a Virginia
slave upon his masters guest-list half a
century ago The commission was APP
pointed to hear expert evidence. And
the experts with fine. round paunches.
well filled pockets and persuasive man
ners, agrees that the war tariff is very
good Thing, Judged from their experience.
They are right. II is an exceedingly good
thing-fer them. But the ARGVs is of
the opinion that is not quite so good a
thing for the 49,000.000 who have to pay
the fiddler and who do noneof the dancing.

A LAZY ON TREE TRADE.

The New York Times says that a society
was formed by a number Of young ladies
of that city for The purpose ~of studying
questions of social and political econonag.
They procured books tieatinason all sides
of the question discussed, and afN attend
ed full course of lectures on free trade
and protection, and heard those questions
discussed by the most eminent .sNriicrs on
those subjects. This organization has
been in existence for about year, and as
a result of it the Times publishes a paper
written by one of the Young ladies', which
is one of the most interesting and bright
contributions to the doctrine of free trade
which has been given to the public. 1t
has been published as q tract and is as fol-

one. rs Mr.. Cable is not only an able man.

The reputation Of Mr. james G. Blaine

The reputation of Mr.. James G. Blaine
for veraeity went upon three legs before
he was secretary Of the state. His connec
ton with the foreign Office has not improv-
ed it. His testimony before the Shiphcrd
investigating committee is SD manifestly
untruthful that the New York Erenia9
Post declares il shows THAT as n witness
he is of no more value than If he were in
the habit Of fahrieating testimony. In
courts OF Justice juries are always warned
that witness like Mr.. Blaine is not to be
believed. unless his story is eorroborated
by Independent testimony These are
hard words. but there is no DENYING their
-iileticn.

A dispatch from Chattanooga. Tenn
SAYS: A man named John l.. Dutlun
who has been deaf and dumb for ,i,.
teen years, was on the steamer Wilder
asleep in his berth few days ago, when
it struck a snag, and he was thrown out.
Hewas overcome with fright and became
sick, and in a few days his speech and
hearing were entirely restored. He lost
them by disease. Persons who have
known him for years testify TO the truth
of his loss of hearing and speech, and
to-day confirm the story
The twins who were born into the
Chaplin family, of Gilbert's Mills. and
who were named Garfield and Arthur
by the neigbors. in spite of the fact that
their parents had chosen two very diff
ferent names for them, are so exactly
alike that a ribbon around the neck Of
young Arthur is absolutely essential to
distinguish them. This assertion is made
in the most positive manner by their
mother, who certainly ought to be an
expert on the subject.
