Texts FROM ono Buddhist BOOKS,

AO%NNS AAOAh AAAC 0WWNAASb DOOASS
From Max Muller's Sacred Books of the
Bast.l
All that we are is the result Of what
we have thought; it is founded on our
thoughts, it is made up Of our
thoughts. If a man acts or speaks
with an evil thought, pain follows
him, as the wheel follows the foot Of
the OK that draws the cart.
For hatred does not cease by hatred
at any time; hatred ceases by love-
this is an old rule.
Let man overcome anger by love;
let him overcome evil by good; let him
overcome the greedy by liberality, the
liar by truth
Let us live happily then, not hating
those who hate usl Among men who
hate us let US live free from hatredl
The man who is free from credulity,
but knows the Uncreated, who has cut
all ties, removed all temptations,
renounced,all desires, heis hegreatest
of men.
As the bee collects nectar and
departs without injuring the flower,
its color or its scent, SO let sage
dwell in his village.
When the learned man drives away
vanity and earnestness, he, the wise,
climbing the terraced heights OF
wisdom, looks down upon the fool
serene he looks upon the toiling crowd,
as one that stands upon a mountain
looks down upon them that stand on
the plain
| If fool be associated with wise
man even all his life, he will perceive
the truth as little as the spoon
perceiyes the taste Of soup.

The Unknown Dead.

Eight bodies in all have been found
aAOat in the river, supposed to have
been victimsof the late FIRE on the
steamer Golden City.
Three bodies, not identified, were
inferred at Elmwood cemetery yester-
day, Captain s. q. Mcintyre defraying
the expense. One of the number was
found yesterday, the other two the day
before, and they we're beyond recog-
milton. One showed traces Of being
badly burned.
The body of Robert Kelly, the en-
gineer on duty, was recognized as soon
as seen in the water By Captain Nc
Intyre. He knew it by the clothing,
and when first turned upon its face in
the river, the features we're quite
plain, but few minutes after became
discolored, and it could not have been
identified except by the garments.
There was no indications of Mr.. KEEL
ly having been scorched. He evidently
jumped overheard after his engines
ceased to work.
The little girl found near Star Land
ing has not been heard from. Captain
Scoville, who went down the river last
evening, is expected back to-day. The
eight bodies found include the little
girl and the body supposed to have
been Mrs. Smith who was found float
Jog near the wreck while it was burn
ing. and was picked up by skiff from
a hatboat the morning Of the Gre
which occurred two weeks ago thi;

BtrogOtf Tf0upe.

Il has leaked out that there was a
little tragedy going on under the stage
last Thursday night while Michael
Stroeoff was playing on top of it. One
Of the male supers, Of whom there
were twenty-five, demanded fifty
cents a night instead Of twenty-five.
The stage manager refused this de-
mand, and ordered him to take off his
toggery. The other twenty-four es-
poused the cause Of their comrade,
aud war was imminent. The leader of
the supers drew his sword, and was in
the act Of running the stage manager
through, when one of the musicians
caught his hand. The stage manager
snatched sword, and the
surroundings began to look
squally. Michael Strogoff himself
rushed down stairs followed by the
entire male portion of the troupe and
a number of the female, though APP
parently male, portion joined in.
Order was finally restored and the
play went on. Now that the troupe is
away off at Cincinnati it can do no
harm to give few points in regard to
them while here.
There were twenty three girls with
the troupe, who were employed at
Chicago and consented after closing
there to travel with it. When they
reached Memphis they we're tolerably
we'll drilled, and inclined to look
down with contempt on the forty
seven raw recruits who joined here.
There we're actually that number Of
Memphis maidens on the stage, and
they received one dollar a night for
their services. The man who had to
hunt them up the week before the
troupe came gives a viz | story of his
adventures. First an advertisement
was inserted in the papers asking fol
girls from Is to20 years Of age. About
sixty maidens appeared in answer tc
the advertisement, and they grew
iusulted when the agent limited that
they had mistaken the figures in the
notice for 48 and 80 years. There were
only four among the number who could
pass muster, and the balance had Il
be hunted up. The man who under
took the grand rounds was unceremo-
niously bounced out of the first hal
dozen places at which he applied, an q
nearly gave up in despair. He finally
procured some half dozen girls, how
ever, and these told him where ht
could find more.
Nearly all were sick Of the stage b!
the time the week ended, but two o,
three were anxious to 90 on with tn,
troupe, and would have gone had the,
Ireceived the slightest encouragement

In a country place in North Caro-

Crop Prospects.

A gentleman who has travelled ex-

ly, informs US that in many portions of
Claiborne and Granger counties, es :.
pecially in Dutch, Hog Skin and
Cracker Neck valleys, there is won
derfully increased acreage of wheat
sown, and it is looking remarkably
we'll. The tendency is growing rapidly
in these sections to raise wheat and
the grasses, to the exclusion of corn,
which has heretofore been the princi-
pal crop. This is an advanced step in
the line of agriculture. There are
plenty Of peaches in the hill orchards
in those counties, but in the low lands
they are killed.

A Ntreas OF cold Wcnlher,


The present spell Of cold weather.
besides being dlscomfortipg to human
feelings, is doing serious harm to
vegetation. This morning early the
temperature in exposed places dropped
to forty degrees. and cold enough for
a frost but for the wind, which came
bleak and brisk from the northeast.
A cold rain fell during the early hours.
Tender vegetation has been chilled
and doubtless stunted by the unex-
pected cold snap. So far. fruit in this
vicinity has not been hurt, but there
is no telling what will yet be the re-
suit, as the Indications afford no pros
pect Of it getting warmer for twenty.
four or more hours to come The
temperature here yesterday did not
vary more than ten degrees all day,
the lowest being forty-iour degrees,
while a chilly wind blew from the
northeast from early morning till late
last night As far as heard, fruit has
not been damaged south of the Ohio
river, but north it has suffered seri-
ously. The cold snap which set in on
Monday last extended all over the
North from Delaware to Iowa, Michi-
gan, and farther to the northeast. Ice
formed nearly an inch thick in Della.
ware and snow storms prevailed be
tween the Northern lakes and tn,
the Ohio valley; also up in the Mis-
souri, valley region. Much anxiety i
felt, not only for the fruit crop, bu
for the cereal crops, all of which mus
be more or less impaired by this un
seasonable spell.
