All the Year Round.

L
Down to the year of English Ann,
and thelatter years of the long sway
Of Louis XIV, 1t may be safely averreG
that no apprehension had been excl
ted and no persecution incurred by
any society not distinctly founded fol
religious purpose. Anabaptists had
been put down with cruel sevefity.
Quakers had beenstormented or toler-
ated according to the caprice of prince
or people. But In the eighteenth GEN.
tury we first find mention Of freema-
sonry, and then, too, do the bulls Of
the Vatican first begin to illuminate
against an association horrible In the
eyes OF the ever watchful. However
ancient an ilIustrious Freemasonry
may be, 1t was undoubtedly regarded
with worse than snspicion by the Ro-
man Curia, the Holy Brotherhood Of
Spnin and the Argus-eyed police. Of
Paris. 1t was not as rogue Of world
renown, but AS a suspected Ereema-
son, that Cagliostro, the arch-imposi-
tor, was imprisoned IN the castle of
st. Angelo, where he died, like a
Gagged bird pining for air and light,
just as the army of the French Re
public - his rescuers : marched on
Rome. We have lived to see royal
and imperial princes installed as
Grand Masters of the greatest and
of all societies, nor do the
mysteries of Hiram and Boaz offend
any outsider less predjudiced than o
parish priest of West Flanders. But
fifty years ago, the surest Spanish
mode of subjecting an enemy to lynch
law was to point him out as Free
mason to the hot-headed rabble OF Be-
Vile, Barcelona or Madrid.

Placidity Of the Heavens.


Texas S.ftings
When that great traveller Baron
Humboldt was journsying In South
America, there came one day sud.
den stiffness In the air, which seemed
like one Of those bushes of nature that
have been observed In a business office
when a man with one leg, and u
patch over his eye, comes In with a
subscription list and q pldful whine.
! But this was followed by fearful con-
vulsi0n Of the earth, that tnade nil
quake, as though a boy had climbed
upt0 the top shelf In the pantry and
suddenly came down back wards wi tn
jar 0f preserves In his arms. Not
only did Humboldl,s heart quake, but
the very earth itself quaked, for the
rumpus was caused by genuine
Humboldt. himself tells us that the

up On one end and howied, SO to speak.
All his old viewApf the safety OF the
earth vanished IKE free lunch be-
fore the inroad of a mob of editorial
excursionists. Should he fly to the
hills for help? Hardly, for they were
svaying about and humping up
against each other as If they had been
enjoying themselves at an oyster sup
per. When Humboldt steadied himself
and took look at the mountains, in
stead Of flying to them, he was anx-
ious to keep out of their way. The
houses afforded him no refuge, for
they were tumbling down as Ii they
had been put up as carelessly as the
temporary capitol at Austin. When
his thoughts turned to the sea what |
did he see when he looked at the sea |
He couldn't see 1t at all, for 10 1t had |
Ships that just before were floating |

Humboldt says that he looked up, he |
being on his back at the time, and |
observed that the heavens alone were |

mediately after he had ,partaken very
of complimentary banquet
rendered him by the German resi-
dents Of South American city. Next
morning he was very much astonish-
ed to observe that during the night
The natives had replaced the noun
aims, brought back the fugitive
ocean, and replaced the distorted fea-
lures of nature.
Hnmbol1t's intimate friends say that
although far from averse to cordiality,
t was the only time the great German
got real blind drunk.

possibly to be renewed again later In
the night. The vibratory motion

HE WOULDN'T KISS HER.
Why Rsginald Refused to Grant His
Lurline one Sweet Boon.

From the Chicago Tribune.l
II cannot kiss you."
The cruel winds of a cold N0vem-
ber night were blowing In all theil
| fierce fury across the fhce of the bleak
moorlands that stretched away TO the
eastward of the Castle McMlntry and
ever and anon the noise of the gate
would sound like the shrek Of per-
son In distress, then falling away to Q
low, sobbing moan, such as might
have been given by q lost soul. Out
through the mulliOned windows Of the
castle there crept into the night broad
bands Of mellow light. serving. by
their cheerful radiance to make more
cheerful and alluring the cozy nook
by the fireplace where Reginald Hig-
gins and Lurline Cocoran were stand
ing. Two months agone, when the
rudy haze OF Indian summer rested
upon the earth, when the leaves OF
autum In all their glory Of gold and
crimson and vivid green were being
tossed about by the kissing zephyrs
of an October day, these two had
plighted willing troth, and ere the
church bells should chime out upon
the air glad tidings OF another Christ
mas come they were to bind forever
In the golden chains Of holy wedlock
theiryoung Chicago hearts. But now
when life seemed fair and joyous to
Lurline, when every feecy cloud in
the horizon Of her existence was tip
ped with rosey hues, there came the
blighting words which Reginald had
Just spoken.
Sobbing as If her suspenders would
break, Lurline placed her arms around
neck. "Tell me sweet
heart,n she said imploringly, "why
you will not kiss me again"
BECAUSE" he answered, In q cold
North Side tone, II do not care to
beat the record SO early In tbe season."

The Killing Of Slayback.

St. Louis Post-D Dispatch.
"In regard to the deplorable trag-
edy which occurred .Eriday. evening,
the Post-Dispatch has nothing to say
but words of sorrow for the dead, Of
sympathy for the bereaved, and OF
simple justice to the gentleman who
is OH of the chief sufferers by this
sad affair. Every person connected
with this paper had the kindest re-
gard for Col. Alonzo Slayback, and
Col. ]. A. Cockrcll had especially cul-
tivated and maintained the most cor
dial relations with him. Nothing per-
sonally offensive to him was ever per-
mited to appear 10 the columns OF
this paper, until he had, In public
speech on Tuesday night, violently
denounced, with opprobrius epithets,
everybody connected with the Post
Dispatch, and denounced the paper
itself as q slanderer and \ black mall
ing sheet. Yesterday there appeared
In Its columns brief editorial para
graph repelling this attack In lang
uage as mild as the nature Of the at
tack permitted. While the presses
were still running Off that issue, and
while Col. Cockrell was at his desk
In his editorial room, talking about a
business matter with the foreman
and the business manager OF the
paper, his room was invaded by Col.
Slay back and Mr.. w. H. Clopton,
the former advancing on Col. Cock
rell with a pistol. In the ensuing
struggle, while Cockrell was crowded
against the wall and almost on his
knees, regarding himself assailed
with apparently murderous intent by
two men, he fired the fatal shot. For
tunately for him, Mr.. McGuff1n and
Mr.. Cole were present, and are wit
nesses of the fact that he fired In nee
essary self defence, and that Col.
Slayback's pistol was wrenched from

facts, and we assure the public that a

lican is pouring out upon him the

IL can to exasperate public feeling
against a man who has promptly sur
rendered himself to the hands Of the

4 Draped Locomotive,

ITO me,n the sad passenger said,
"there is something inexpressibley
mornful in draped locomotive and
especially SO, when it Is draped In
mourning for. dead engineer. The
president of a railway company
stands long way from the engine,
and when he. dies, the engine mourns
as we sorrow for rich uncle whom
we never saw and who left us moth
ing. But the man who was part of
the engines life, who spurred her up
the long, steep, climbing mountain
grades, and coaxed her around dizzy
curves, and sent her down the long,
level stretches with the flight of an
arrow, who knew how to humor all
hei caprices, and coaxed and petted
and urged her through binding
storms and rayless nights, and blis-
tering heat and singing cold, until
engine and engineer seem to be body
and soul of one existence-then when
this man at last gets his final orders
and crosses the dark river alone, with
only the fadeless target lights Of sure
and eternal promise cleaning bright
ly on the other side; and when there
is q new man on the right-hand side.
and new face looks out of the engi-
neer's window, then think I can see
profound and sincere sorrow In the
painting spirit Of power, standing In
fhe station, draped with fluttering
emblems Of woe, waiting for the Ca
ressing touches of the dead. hands
that 1t will never feel again. And en-
gineers tell me that for days and days
the engine Is fretful under the new
hands /; 1t is restless and moody, starts
of nervously and impatiently some
times, then drops into q sulleu gait
aud loses time that no man gets SO
much out of an engine as 1t own en-
gineer.n
"Do you remember only year or
two ago" the jester said, ''only last
summer, believe 1t was, an engi-
geer on the Chicago, Burlington q
Quincy, running west from Chicago,
died on his engine? Died right In his
place, running between 6alesburg
and Monmouth, and sat there with
his hand on the lever, and HIS sight

track unnoticed, until the fireman
looked up to see why he did not whis-
tie for Monmouth station. And how
many miles that train had Numbered
