lory. 1t would be proftless to linn
you. but that when the light of your
camera shall be put out, and your
shadow have vanished from the wall,
no one but l shall have clutched the
passing infamy, and secured its shame
lessness to illustrate with its legend
your official life, that incredulous peo-
pie in future times may not rate you
an unreal mockery, and your history a
fable of the Brazen era.
With fearless contempt for all dis
guise, your motives have been as open
as your acts, and, regarding the public
as any beast his prey you have not
sought to deceive even those you have
outraged. The official keeper of the
faith and honor of the state, you have
used its seats to desecrate dead mems
memories, and spoliate their success
sions and heirs. When you could not
with ready clutch seize any spoil, you
kept official watch, repelling every ap-
proach, and using pretexts as TRACE
dy clown jests. You have betrayed
the state and plundered its treasury with
as incredible an audacity as that with
which you have outraged individuals
with measureless perfidy have seized
the hand which had given you lmpuni-
ty, to wreak your rapacity upon the treas
ure it was sworn to preserve. Are you
enriched to-day in the measure of your
infamy, and if not might you not profit
by retirement, assuming virtue as
marvellous as your crimes, and thus
warn off the official knaves who, lack
ing only your daring, are as unscrupu-
lous as you? l am, sir,

The A. o. u. and Insurance.

At the triennial session of the An
cient Order of United WoIkmen, at
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, last week, there
were angry dissensions- among the
delegates over the life insurance
scheme of the order, which has proved
to be success. A Chicago cores
pondent of the St. Louis Globe Demo-
crat, who signs himself "member'
says:
"Similar trouble occurred at the re-
cent session of the order in Wisconsin.
Nothing affecting the integrity of the
officers was alleged in either case, but
the trouble at both sessions seems to
have been a natural outgrowth of the
endeavors, no matter how we'll mean
ing, of men to conduct life insurance
business without understanding any of
its principles. Harmony has been al
most destroyed in the grand lodges of
two great states IN a commendable
secret society, simply through having
insisted on doing life insurance
business in connection Herewith.
The bitter antagonists were
the result of different sets of
members having their various crude
notions as to how the insurance feat
ure of the order ought to be managed,
and of each set thinking its plan"
was as good if not better, than the
others. 1t is curious to note the be-
lief in the success of his own particular
kind of life insurance that thrills the
ordinary member of secret society,
having one of the latter-day insurance
attachments. 1--WE have been organ
lied two years and only had two deaths
each year," is about the gist of the
usual boast. This is believed by him
to settle the number of deaths that
will continue to occur for all future
time. He and his "brethren' may be
interested in knowing that among the
new risks taken by the agent of any
real life insurance company on the
"old line" plan there are often no
deaths for five or ten years. But as
time wears on the deaths do come, for
death must ensue to all, and then the
reserve which experience and wise
state laws require to be accumulated
by genuine life companies is ready to
meet all losses. A failure to appre-
ciate such simple truths as this, and
belief that lodge can run life insur.
ance business as easily as it can 60
through a ritual or give pleasant soE
clal entertainment, are among the
causes that have engendered these I'M
fortunate discussions among the An
cient Order of United Workmen and
similar organizations everywhere.

Letter From New Orleans.
New ORLEANS, Feb. Goth, 15|

NEW oKLEANo, ISO. EOtiA, 1oo6'
Brother Newcomb:
have swallowed the entire mardi-
gras. and am yet alive and kicking,
and forgot totally, as you expected l
would, to give you an occasional letter
or bulletin from the city of shows.
Well, l expect l have had nothing to
say till now but what has been said in
the daily papers, andhaving now some
thing to say and something to send, is
the way in which l come by the men,
tai strength and ability to actually
write this letter to you. But you
know how it is yourself after you have
got off the handle number of times,
if not oftener, and had to go to the
blacksmith for repairs, and feel bruised
up at last, and good deal as if some
nails had been driven through you, and
yet you wanted clinchlng.
Well, in my sober, l mean sedate,
moments, have been closeted a good
deal with a grave old codger in his
quiet room; known him a good while,
and have rumpled his manuscripts a
good deal, as he is talented, retired
old lawyer, and always writing but
never prints. One of these he wont
miss, and just slippedit in my pocket
as coolly as an expert could, though
you know l never stole anything be-
fore. 1t is as interesting as script of
We ancient time. On the back leaf,
which contains nothing else, is en-
dorsed Letter to Hawkins" This l
do not send as it makes so much less
paper. You, of course would not ex-
pect me endowed with cheek enough
to ask any questions about it. know
however, it has never been, and was
not designed to be, printed. learn
that the Judge Hawkins to whom it is
addressed is long dead. 1t has no
date.
Pretty soon will step in on you and
may meantime have a chance to man.
ifest some further irreverence of the

AN UNFRIENLY LETTER TO A DIsTIN-
GUISHED JUDGE.
SIR-The infestation of knaves has
long been the nightmare of our people,
but no chimera actually incredible had
bestridden the commonwealth until you
got into place. The vision is appal-
ling to timld persons. The shocking
h;deousness into which you marshalled
all your parts to stimulate good
enough dragon to wear ermine, is an
example which common criminals are
constrained to envy, but will lack the
temerity to follow. Your courage is
inimitable, your audacity sublimely your
own ; and these, which are the chief
pillars of your avarice, have made your
name a by.word, and your bench apil.

While Bernhardt was in St. Petersburg a
Russian count fell madly in love with her, and
when she left for Vienna he followed in her
steps. Many sensational stories of the affair
have since been printed in the continental
newspapers. One of them says the count
made her an offer of marriage, to which she
replied that she could not marry man, be-
cause she was already married to her art-a
remark, by the way, which is not original with
this woman nor these times.

PILGRIMAGES.

OF less religious character to
every temple and holy place to which
he could get access in the countries
bordering on the east Of the Mediter

Minor: and We learn on high au
thority that both Crmsus and Alexan
der the Great made special eXpedi
tons to the shrincs of the heather
deities for certain purposes of their
own. Indeed, there is every reason
to believe that Noah and his family
in after-life did not loavc unvisited

spot on which the ark had rested;
and if it had not been for the nnfur-
tunatc destruction of all ahtediiuyian
documents by the Flood, we should
probably have been able toprov" that
Adam and Eve, after their expulsion
from Eden. went back more than
once to the home SO sacred in their
memories. and that, if not in fact, at
all events in wish and intention, they
were guilty Of the sin of "pilgrim-

love of associating places with per

TnE sight Christians have of their
defects in grace. and their thirst after
greater measures of grace. make them
think they do not grow when they do.
He who covets a great estate because
he hath not SO much as he desires.
therefore he thinks himself to be poor.
Indeed. Christians should seek after
the grace they want. but they must
not, therefore. overlook the grace they
have. Let Christians be thankful for
the least growth; if you do not grow
SO much in assurance. bless God if
You grow in sincerity: if you do not
grow SO much in knowledge. bless God
if you grow in humility. If tree
grows i'll the root. it is Il true growth:
if YOU grow in the root grace Of hui
mility. it is It's necdful for You as any
OF her growth. TT Watson
