DEATH OF DoRE

\ dispatch from Paris announces
the death, yesterday, Of Paul Gus
tave bore, the eminent French
artist. He was born at Strasburg
in January, 1888. and was therefore
over fifty years of age. His genius
commenced to develop itself when
only eleven years old, and some
years later he became connected
with journalism, illustrating vari-
Gus prominent works, among them
Millions paradise Lost" the Bible,
etc. His range of work was so
vast and his effects so striking, that
be gained fame and fortune as great
as gratifying He was perhaps the
most prolific artist of modern times
his designs nearly equaling the
colossal figure of $4,000. The great
men of France are going rapidly,
the departure of Dore being one
which his country will feel most
deeply, and the world at large,
wherever civilization prevails, will
not be slow to do his memory
homage.

Are Angels sleepy.

During the progress Of an address on so.
called psychological science, recently de.
iivered by the Rev. MIR. Hops, Mr.. Percy
Wyndham, N. r in the chair, the reyer-
END lecturer put forth new and untenahle
theory with regard to angels. In dealing
with the most serious and sublime Of all
subjects, that of a future life, he is reported
TO have said that 'if man existed
at all after the incident of death, it would
not be as a sleepy angel, but rs the same
man, though elevated by freedom from the
body" IL would not be profitable to fol-
low the reverend gentleman through all
the mazes OF his speculation, but II may be
pointed out that there is no warranty what
soever, sacred or prCtane, for the assump.
ton that angels are somnoent. Michael,
the only arohangel mentioned in scripture,
Is always described in his military
capacity. In the whole seven or nine
legions of angels-,he number is differently
given by the authorities wakeiulness and
activity are the characteristics most in
sisted on. In the Aprocryphal Book of
Enoch' Michael is made to preside over
virtue and TO command the nation; Raphael
attendsto the spirits of men; Urel has un.
der his care the affairs of clamor, and
Gabriel oversees Paradise and the Cheru-
BIN. a great many of the curious notions
prevalent on the topic OF angels are derived
from the legends of the early church,
aud not few from writings of the English
protestant poet, John Milton. Angels have
been described rs having ranks and order
and systems CONSTRUCTION the same AS an
earthly army, and famous Spanish Jesuit
declares that the angels dwelling In Para
disc bave no houses, but, arrayed in wo.
mems habits, they 90 about from one part
to another tor diversity" Indeed it
would be difficult to find in the entire
speculative literature OF the subject, native
and foreign, any justification for the extra
ordinary statement that angels are sleepy.

A Strange Case

Just before the beginning OF the late ciyi
war John Dieckmann, Missourlan, led to

plighted his troth, and TO whom he vowed
TO be true, clinging unto her only so long
as life should last They lived happily ts,
gether until the breaking out of the war
when John Dieckmaun entered the army
as private soldier. That was the last his
wife ever saw of him. She learnen
afterward that he had deserted the
service in 1868, but no one knew
where he had gone. 1t was mystery to
Mrs. Dieckmann, and after some wears of
waiting at the old home she gave John up
Tor dead and moved to Alton with her
family. 80 things went on Tor years until

years ago. Some time after his death Mrs,
