Ferry at that time was President pro
tenlpore of the Senate. Anderson de-
livered the Louisiana certificates to
him. Externally they were correct in
form. But it was soon discovered that
a serious error, invalidiating the certi-
ficates, had been committed. That
error could not have been detected
without breaking the seal, violating
the law, and perpetrating felony.
The certificate was in the possession Of
Ferry officially as the custodian nomi-
mated for that object by the law. The
limit Of time was near beyond which
the certificates could not be received
in Washington. Anderson hastened
back to New Orleans to get new GER
titicate. Three of the bogus electors
could not be reached. Their names
were forged to the. substituted paper,
as was proved before the Potter COM
mittee, and John Sherman gave them
offices subsequently to shut their
mouths. kellogg's private secretary
was charged with completely III get
ting up the forged certificate. kellogg
himself doubtless knows who is respon-
sible for that crime.
Kellogg's claim that he "saved the
Republican party in 1S76'' is true.

TIE LIGHT on LITTLE GRAVES.

1t is hard to become reconciled to the
heath Of little children even if they are
not your own. 1t seems so much lik e
the crushing ard whitening Of buds of
promise that the human heart naturally
rises up in protest against it.
Just across the narrow space that
separates two city dwellings, and al
most within reach Of the hand that
traces these lines, since early Autumn
the head of a little boy that looked like
one of Raphael's cherubs, had peered
above the window-sill, CHEEKY as Il ray
Of early sun and thrown its light into
the neighbours house. But for two
weeks the sweet face With its pleasant
smile that lit up the golden hair like n
halo of glory, did not press the pane
and the dimpled hand did not throw
the kiss Of morning greeting. Little
Clarence was sick, and few days ago
they bore his precious form away in
a white casllet to it's burial.
The story may be an old-a repre-
sented one.
There is no fold however tcndor,
But one dead lamb is there.
but we cannot get used to this. 1t is
no comfort to fond mother to know
that other peoples children havo died.
That may help the bond of sympathy,
but it only increases the sadness to
think of the sweep death makes.
Vet there is Il very beautcous light
cleaning from little graves. 1t comes
not from anything earthly, for that
would be but n phosphoric ray of cor
ruption. No, the beams of hope and
joy must be from above. The little
ones so to heaven, not because they
are children, but because the death
and resurrection Of Christ avails for
them. In that relation to the Redeem
er of the world, tho "carly lost' become
tho "early save" Death is not grim
destroyer but Il harvester. Through 1t
God takes the lovely flowers as we'll as
the corn ripe in the ear. Aud to faith
there is on music floating over the
little world of homes and sepulchcrs
more sweet than the Canticlc which
says, "My beloved is gone down into
His garden to gather fifieS.'
The lives of little children have not
been in vain. Tho world has been
brighter to us, for the song they sang,
though they seemed to liDgcr but lit
tie while ere they winged their way
like the soaring lark, over the fading
rainbow into tho blue heavens. But
our chief joy is in knowing that they
arc not lost, but gonc before. Not on
ly fond parents, but ncighbors and pas
tors remembered them, rs those they
loved, and hoped to meet again. And
they will be restored TO us, not rs
angels-anothcr order of beings, but as
our own precious darlings, Sloriiicd in
Christ Jesus. Thoughts of these and
Of all own dear ones of whatever age,
make US anxious for the coming Of the
Lord, when tho lutes of salvation will
blend harmoniously with the trumpet
ings of the Resurrcction.--1icss

A Washington correspondent tells
the following pretty story:
A dainty little girl of eight or nine
with dangerous big eyes, appeared in
the library Of the White House the
other day when II was full of great
men OF one sort and another, and
quietly waited her turned to speak
with the tall, digniticd gentleman with
the gray whiskers and hair, and the
sober face and tho courteous manner,
down by tho bow window in the south
end of the room. By-and.by her op-
portunity came. She tripped forward
modestfy, but braveIy, and with
"Good morning, Mr.. President" told
her name and profFered her request.
She was a niece of Gen. Winfield Scott
Hancock, and she wanted a few sweet
flowers from the executive conserva-
tory for the Easter decoration of q lit
tie Episcopal church. She smiled
archly as she told her crrand, as though
she was quite sure of favorable re-
sponse. The Presidents face brighten
ed with smiles rs he turned from the
tired politicians 10 the sweet face be-
fore him. II was like cooling zephyr
from the Chesapeake on hot sum-
mer's day. He told her honestly that
he was very gladly to sec her, and
then he gave her carte blanche in the
conservatory, and dismissed her with
pleasant word or two about his own
little girl, who does SO much to tighten
up his life in the White House. Her
handsome uncle could not have done
more for her had he been standing in
| Arthur's place.

The Lord and the Shilling.

The following episode, which hap
pened lately at one Of our fashionable
hotels, proves that virtue is sometimes
more substantially rewarded than the
old adage. would seem to indicate:
One evening, rather late, gentleman, a
great admirer Of mans best friend, saw
some magnificent dogs in the care of the
hall porter. Having entered into con-
versation with the temporary keeper Of
the Cerberi, he learned that the owner
had left no instructions as to their being
fed; he therefore took upon himself
to order a repast FOL, them. They were
still enjoying it when the owner re-
turned, and the good Samaritan, going
up, told him that he had been admiring
his dogs, and had ordered them to be
fed ooh, thank you Here, take this, T"
and the owners gratitude took the tan
gible shape of the coin recruiting SER
geants dispense in the Queens name.
The gentleman smilingly took the prof
fered reward and said: 81 amI.ord -,
and 1 most heartily thank you for the
first shilling have ever earned. / shall
have hole drilled in it and wear it as a
charm. 1t may bring me luck" ooh,
my Lordl ] cannot tell you how sorry ]
am at my blunder. Pray give me back
the shilling and accept my most heart
felt Apology II beg you not to apol-
o8ize. You have made me feel quite a
proud man, and as to the shilling, you
must allow me to keep it, that it may be-
come an heirloom in my family, where
we have never had an opportunity Of
earning money London Truth"

Bavarian salt Mines.

The salt mines of BerchtesgadeD,
which are the property of the King Of
Bavaria, are perhaps the most ancient III
Europe. 1t is certain that they were
known to the Celts, and that they were
known to the Romans. who conquered
the tribe living in their vicinity. For
600 years they have been constantly
worked During twenty years previous
to 1881 more than 200 miners were en-
ployed, but during the past and present
year the force has been decreased to
about two thirds of that number. The
exact number in last weeks payroll was
lit, and the amount of work salt for
cattle quarried in 1882, 1900 tons. In
addition to the rock salt the ex-
traction of pure Salts carried on, from
20, 900 to %, 600 tons per annum of table
salt being produced. Previous to 1882
it amounted in some cases to as much as
10000 tons, but recently the demand for
both kinds has decreased. The method
of making the fine salt is by letting in
fresh water from the hills, where, after
becoming impregnated for some five or
six weeks, it is drawn off into lower
reservoir, whence it is forced up to a
place several hundred feet high. From
there it flows through iron pipes to IL
sang, several miles distant, and is sec
ond time raised to still greater height,
and from this point it flows on ascend
ing scale to Reichenhall, eighteen miles
distant, when it is evaporated, and the
crystallized salt ground for family use.

Capture Of a Family Of Bears.

One day last week, while Melvin
Gardner, who resides at the mouth of
Spring Creek, was walking through the
woods about mile from his house, he
saw bear sitting behind log looking
at him. Taking good aim, he knocked
her over with a bullet from his trusty
rifle. Before he had time to observe
the effect of his shot, he saw cub bear
scampering off. Dropping his rifle, he
ran after it, and soon had it by the back
of the neck. Just as he caught it he saw
another cub attempting to climb tree
near by. Though encountered by the
cub he had just captured, he ran after
the second one, and caught it by the
neck just as it got fairly started up the
tree. With both hands full of bear, he
started on run for his house. the cubs
doing their level best to get away Be-
fore he reached home his shirt-slcevcs
were in shreds. Aiming himself with
his axe, he started back, accompanied
by his son, to look after the mother OF
the cubs. AS they neared the spot, what
was their surprise to see another cub
making for a tree. They waited pa
tiently for two hours, and. as a last re-
sort, cut the tree down and secured
the third cub, but it was killed by the
fall. The old. bear was fo,,n,l stone
dead, the bullet having crushed through
her brain. She was monster. - lk
