A Fearful Conflict.

Now and then a man finds himself
called to struggle with the rushing
rapids of a sweeping torrent, that he
must breast successfully-orp perish. 1t
is fearful conflict at the best. If he is
there at the call of duty, or under the
pressure of circumstances beyond his
own control, he csh look for help above
all human power. Then it is that his
Fathers promise sounds assuringly in
his ear: when thou passest through
the waters | will be with thee; and
through the rivers they shall not over
flow thee" But if one can keep away
from such torrent without neglect OF
duty, he should be glad to do it. Even to
the most favored One the warning
comes: "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord
thy God" There is no promise of de-
liverance to one who rushes into dan
ger needlessly and with presumption.

A Slam-Bang Doctor Dead.

Death has Just carried off old Doctor
Newton, whose sensational ''cures' OF
all sorts of ailments, from lumbago
down to a sore toe, made him promi-
nent figure among the humbugs of
Gotham several years ago. When the
doctor was in his glory he had an of
flee in St. Mark Place, near Cooper
Institute. The lame, the halt and the
blind gathered there in crowds every
day. They sometimes blocked the
sidewalk so much that policemen had
trouble clearing a way for pedestrians.
The fame of Doctor Newton spread all
over the city and through the surround
ing country. There was nothing that
he could not cure. And he gave no
medicine. He cured everything by
touch. The touch was often a pretty
rough one, such as giving a rheumatic
sufferer thump between the shoulders
and a drive forward, and telling him to
step out. The thump and the drive
generally made the sufferer step out
in some way. In one corner of his Of
flee the doctor had collection of old
walking-sticks and crutches. These
relics of decrepitude testified to his
skill. They had been left behind by
people he had cured, who had no fur
ther use for them. Men and women
crawled into his office by the aid of
sticks and crutches, and came out as
spry as if nothing had ever been the
matter with them. So, at least, ran the
reports that were circulated every day
And great many believed them. They
reached the newspapers, and reporters
were sent to witness the DOCTORS opera
tons and write them up. The report
ers seemed to be skeptical, and their
reports of what they had seen were not
calculated to make the general public
believe very firmly in DIR. Newton. He
was finally complained of as anuisance
in the neighborhood on account of the
motley crowds he drew, and after a
while he moved away. That was some
twelve or fifteen years ago. He gradu-
ally passed out of notice, and many to
whom his name was once familiar had
forgotten him altogether when the an
nouncement of his death was made a
couple of days ago. His age was sew
enty-three. Newton called himself
''healer." His whole method was slam
bang. Any one who got thump from
him between the shoulders was sure to
remember it month any way.--N Y

Confederate Bonds.

The inside history of the movement
now going on in London to impart a
value to the bonds of the defunct Con-
ferate Government has not hitherto been
given to the public.
The prime mover in this queer scheme
in a Mr.. Van Raelti, a Dutchman of
Greek extraction. though his name, for
reasons doubtless satisfactory to himself
does not appear upon the committee of
bondholders of which Lord Penzance is
chairman. This is not the only venture
of the kind in which Van Raelti has
been engaged. He first became promi-
nent as dealer in Colonial produce in
Mincing Lane; but here he was unfor-
tunate, though not, as we are informed
culpably so. He was not long, how
ever in again getting on his legs, finan-
cally, and was next heard of as an
operator upon the London Stock En-
change. He it was who, with fine
flavor of patriotism, readjusted the
Greek finances, having first prudently
obtained possession OF goodly number
of Greek bonds at merely nominal
price. His success in this scheme prob
ably suggested the game which he is at
tempting to play with the Confederate
bonds. He has managed to coax Lord
Penzance, Mr.. Robert Martin and other
Englishmen of repute into the swim
with him, and now maneuvers them
with his magnetic eye like so many toy
fishes.
1t was at first intended that the scope
of the scheme should be limited to the
cotton loan bonds, Van Raelti's idea
being to proceed directly against the
United States Government for their
payment; but eminent counsel, well
versed in commercial and American
law, held that these particular bonds
were not, as had been fancied, of the
nature of dock or warehouse certiti-
cate, as no specific cotton was pledged
for their redemption, and that they ear
ried no claim to the proceeds of COnfed-
crate cotton said to have been paid into
the United States Treasury. This Opin-
ion was stunning blow to the hopes of
Van Raelti and his influential commit
tee, and they became quiet for awhile.
Then it was Van Raelti began to
scheme to obtain the payment of the
whole Confederate debt in full. His
plan was Jay GOuldian in its conception
and proportions. He proposed to or
ganize in London a Land Mortgage
Company, to operate exclusively in the
Southern States, the qualifications for
membership being that every sharehold-
er should be the bona fide holder of a
given amount of Confederate bonds,
which were TO be gradually paid off out
of a fixed portion of the profits of the
company. But the same eminent coun-
sci who had given the cotton loan bond

The Handy Revolver.

Experience proves that persons who
carry pistols to protect themselves
against danger need more than anything
else to be protected against their owr
weapons. Almost Invariably the only
persons they shoot are themselves o
! their friends. either by accident or de.
sign.
A peculiarly sad case of suicide was
chronicled in New York last Thursday.
A young man of wealthy family, excel
lent business position and prospects,
engaged to b. married in q few weeks
to an csiimable young woman, happy
| in all his relations and anticipations,
| planning for his wedding trip and the
purchase of future hOme-in a word
surrounded with everything that to out
ward appearance goes to make life en-
joyable and happy-shoots himself
through the heart in the middle of the
night, and is found lifeless in the morn
! ING by his family. No cause can be as
signed for the rash and awful act. He
| had seemed anything but depressed.
| H;s last evening was passed in pleasant
conversation with his relatives. H;s
mind was occupied with the prepara.
| llOIlS lOI IdpDlItSS.
But one explanatory fact appears
! The young mans father shot himself al
the grave of his brother in Greenwood
some years ago. This had evidently
haunted him, Tor he once said to his
| fiancee that his father had killed him
self, and that was the only thing in him
she would have to contend against.
| Now comes second fact. The young
man carried pistol as a protection
against being robbed while on his way
TO bank with deposits. He was fond OF
practicing with the weapon, and kept ii
with him constantly. In doing this he
was sporting with death. He was like
a burnt child playing with fire. With
the haunting thought of his father S
manner of death before his eyes, ne ex-
posed himself constantly to the very
danger he ought of all dangers to have
avoided. Everybody knows the inn
pulses that are born of surroundings
A man who walks along a precipice is
almost sure to wonder with a strange
sort of fascination what would be the
experience of fall over its steep. The
mailman is not the only one who is taken
with the impulse to leap from dizzy
height. So in this case, the presence of
the pistol was sufficient to suggest what
was in a moment of impulse carried
into irrevocable act.
The handy revolver is responsible fol
a large increase of crime, and of acci-
dents that are close related to crime.
The habit of carrying revolvers is al
ways pernicious in its effects, even when
not fatal to its results. The boy that
starts cut by putting a pistol in his
pocket and thinking he is more of a
man for doing it, starts in way that is
sure to be disastrous. He is safest as
well as wisest who, living in peaceful
and lawful community, relies on an up
right life and an Almighty Father for
his safety, rather than on the habitual
carrying of deadly weapons.-M Y
