record of events, great and small,
that combine to make up the daily
journal. This fact, together with
the benevolence of his character,
came to the knowledge of reporter
for daily paper in peculiar way
some years ago. The reporter had
been detailed to a case of distress
which had been reported TO the office.
In the performance of this duty he
encountered one of those pictures of
misery only to be seen in a great
city of startling contrasts like New
York. 1t was bitter part of Nov
ember, and in a room on the top
floor of an East-side tenement house,
in which there was neither fire nor
food, and no furniture save two rem
nants of chairs, woman was found
with two little children. The next
morning description of the scene
was published, together with a state
ment of the cause of the woman S
misfortunes and in the afternoon a
second call was made for the pur-
pose of giving her a small amount
which had been sent to the office,
when she was found in comparative
comfort. A stove had made it's ap-
pearance, there was supply of coal,
the closet was filed with provisions,
and mother and children were suppli-
ed with stout shoes and warm stock
ings. The woman described her ben
efactor so minutely that the reporter
at once recognized Mr.. Weed. When
inquiry was made of him as to the
fact, Mr.. Weed admitted that he had
''helped the woman little,' but ex-
acted promise that it should not be
mentioned in the newspapers nor
has the incident ever been published
till now. This case is not mentioned
in detail because it was at all an an
omaly in the life of the veteran journ-
alist, but rather as typical of the
man in that aspect of which the world
knows so little.-Eddor' Draacer an

WORK.

Work for up the eastern sky
Climbs the sun the while we wait;
Chances come and pass US by;
Still we stand and hesitate,
Doubling, tickle, faint of heart.
By and by we cry, "Too late y
Work! Our lives before US lie
Like the marble-sbapeless still;
We must carve them to success
With an earnest heart and will.
1t is in our hands to cheese
Shall it be for good or i'll?
Work. The day is passing fast!
Brave of heart to do and dare.
In the worlds great labor-fields
There ls work that all may share.
Earnest hearts and willing hands
Find a mission anywhere.

RETRosPEcr.-How delightful it is
thus to strengthen within us the
golden threads that unite our sympa-
thies with the past-to fill up, as it
were, on blanks of existence with
those we love? How sweet are these

How calmly across life's stormy sea
blooms that little world of affection,

nal summer reigns and the olive BIOS

WALKER HOUSE,
American Hogs.

The statement made By NJ. Paul Bert
as contain ed in the Paris cable, published
this morning. in which he processes to
quote from the report of DR.. 81. j. De-
teures, of the United States bureau OF
agriculture to the effect that diseased and
diving hogs passed through the stock
yards at Chicago daily and were sold
cheap and shipped to Bordeaux
and havre. has drawn out a
letter of protest from Deteu- He
declares the statement Of ID. Bert not
only q perversion of facts but q falsehood.
In his official reports t. the commission
ers Of agriculture are contained all he
has ever had to offer concerning the
transportation of diseased or dead hogs,
and there he simply called atten-
ton 10 their transportation to
rend sring tanks, entirely distinct
from packing houses ss affording
means of spreading Of the hog cholere,
prevailing in 1879. Dr.. Deuteres
declares that the regulations o. the Chi
cago stock yards are such as TO reader t
absolutely imp 5ssible that dead hogs
should be struggled into them, and
should an animal die in the yards, it lie
at once delivered 10 8 soap grease reL~
de-ing estsblishment outside of the yards
and cannot possibly get into packing
house. DR.. Deuteres says during the
last four months he has examined fully
10000 hcgs without discover
ing Tie slightest trace OF
disease, ss he certainly would it
any had existed. During the last two
years very little swine plague has ex-
listed snyRhere, and as far as he has been
able to learn no diseased hogs have been
shipped. Nearly all the small rendering
tanks have been closed, his exposures
FIVE years ago having contributed largely
to that result. Deteures declares that
Bert must be true demagogue, other
wise he would not resort TO falsebood TO
please his constituents.

some church in Wisconsin. He held be-
hind him one of his hands in which was
tightly grasped tho neck Of a suspicious
looking black bottle. and after glancing
through the car with eager gaze, he
quickly asked:
us there anybody in here who comes
from Oshkash?"
For a moment no one answered, and
then a clerical looking soung man
looked up and nodded his head, The
tall Young man. with his hands still be-.
hind him, shuilled slowly down the aisle

modest man who had mutely replied to
his query and said:
"Re You from Oshkoshs"

STOPPING down and placing his mouth
to the Young fellows ear. the old man
hoarsely whispered:-
"Say, stranger, just lend us Your
