MOODY INsULTED IN IRELAND. Citizen
Moody, familarly known in this city as
Brother Moody, is in Ireland. He visited
the island for the same purpose that st. Pat
rick did-to preach the gospel He engaged
in no political controversy, but pursued the
course he has pursued in the different cities
in this country He advertised his meetings
in the newspapers hired halls in which to
hold his services and paid his bills He
made no attack on any form Of religion. He
read the Bible and commented on passages
Sc ected from it, For doing this he was mob
bed in one OF the largest cities in the coun-
try. Every night his meetings were disturb
cd. Crowds of roughs surrounded the build
ing where he preached aud endeayored to
drown his voice by their cries. They openly
insulted the men and women who entered the
hall where he was preaching the gospel It
was found necessary to invoke the aid Of the
government TO protect his person, and the
building where he preached. The patriot
papers of the island were silent in regard to
these outrages Irish patriots here and else
where do not seem to be indignant about
them. Brother Moody has preached in most
of the countries where the English language
is spoken and was never treated with dlsre.
spect till he went to Ireland People who did
not sympathize with all his views and did
not entirely approve of all his methods, after
all entertained high respect for his honesty
of purpose, and his devotion to what he con.
sidered his duty. The worst roughs in the
wickedest city of America could not be in
duced to show dsrespect to man who has
enjoyed the confidence and esteem of every
community he has visited till now. Chicago

A CANYON DUEL
In the Drifting Snow with Rifles at
Ten PAGES


Joaquin Miller in the New York Sun.
The day after little tilt between the parties,
the two Californians walked up and down be-
fore the quiet and unpretentous camp, only
few steps from their own, for we were all
huddled.in together there, and talked very loud
and behaved in very insulting manner. The
canyon was all on tip-toe. The men began to
forget their misery in the all-absorbing topic
of the coming fight. Cautious old men held
aloof and tried to keep peace. They kept
most of the men out on the windy plain freez-
ing there with the half-starved and freezing
mules, horses and ponies that paved pitfully
and helplessly in the snow, which was now
almost to their breasts. This, it was hoped,
would give the men something better to do
and keep them from battle.
But the dreadful situation, the cold, the
hunger, the possibility of all perishing there
together, seemed only to madden the men.
That night duel was arranged to take place
at daylight, on the plain above. The Cali
fornian and the Orgonian were to fight with
rifles, at 10 PAGES. Both had their friends
and hackers. The whole canyon seemed to
be drawn into the fight. Some of the men

THE FALL OF
Accommodating Disasters-Gen. Lees
Appearance-Last Scene of All.

Accommodating Disasters-Gen. Lees
Appearance-Last Scene of All.
A Richmond lady in Philadelphia Times.
The battle Of Gettysburg and the fall
of Vicksburg, its twin disaster, were yet
reserved for us and it was not it'll we
had drunk to the dregs that bitterness
that we felt that the fortunes of the con-
federacy must decline and that the
hopes of the steadfast began to waver.
From that time until the I'd of April,
1895, the war was comparatively mac
tive in Virginia; nor is it my purpose to
linger over the bitterness of its closing
hours. To the very last a vast number
of the people were confident of success.
On the very day before the evacuation
of Richmond it was believed throughout
the city that Lee had repulsed the ene-
my along his entire line.
On that very day John M. Daniel, the
brilliant editor of the Richmond Ex-
aminer, died under the delusion that
such was the case, and John Mitchell,
the Irish patriot, who wrote his obituary
in the morning paper, deplored that the
great Virg'nian, whose pen had welded
such tremendous influence throughout
the war, should have passed away Just as
a decisive victory bad given the turning
point to the success of the confederacy.
This circumstance will show how little
prepared we were on that bright Sab
bath morning in April for the direful
news that came to us at moor
Once more as vi sat in our pews in
church the summons came, and once
more in response to it, as in April, 1851
(whop IL onppUncoH tho oho~ to,,o. -
the Pawnee), the people fed from the
house of God to question the woeful
sound. Alas! for the contrast between
this call and that. We had known no
summons such as this before and not a
panic but a nameless dread now rushed
in on u souls. But l would not, if I
could, depict the binding SORROWS of
that memorable event. Ere another
day had dawned our city was in flames
and the glory of the rising sun was lurid
with smoke and glare. Pillasers uhe
negroes and the rabble) were busy at
their work. Confusion reigned; the foe
had come; and from the top OF the con-
federate capitol the federal flag was tossed
by the morning breeze.
On the morning of the 9th of April
General Lee surrendered. On the 10th
he addressed to his army his manly,
touching letter Of farewell, and on the
evening Of the 18th he rode into Rich
mond on horseback, accompanied by
his staff. Quietly the great chieftan
passed through the blackened streets.
On every side we're the ruins of the
great fire; blue-coated strangers were on
the sidewalk; the wheels of busy life
were still, but it was impossible for him
to pass unnoticed. Soon the words ran
along the sidewalk: "Its General Lee"
and throngs began to gather and to fol-
low the distinguished hero. There was
no shout or sound of greeting; only IN
whispers the people spoke. The great
general simply raised his hat as he rode
rapidly forward, until dismounting at
the door OF his private residence, he
passed into the cloister of his simple
hOme.l

The Return of a Jack-Knife.

A1SW4Stuu lSlt) JOurudl. -aT
gentleman on Lisbon-street Saturday
was talking of the wonderful return of a
lack-knife that he lost 25 years ago.
The gentleman has been visiting the
clerk of courts in Lewiston during the
past week. He made hisjack. knife him
self upon his W forge, and in his lei
sure moments covered the bone handle
with his initials and a number of odd de-
vices. A year after. in the deep SHOWS,
on the road to Kingsbury, Me-, he over
took a man attempting to tie up his
sleigh that had broken down. Hejump-
ed out to assist the man, lent him the
jack-knite, and, forgetting it, rode off
without it. He never saw the man again.
Fifteen years afterward his daughter
married, and her husband, struck with
the western fever, took a trip west and
brought up in Minneapolis, MINI,
Among the people in that state with
whom he came into contact was One who
was .proyerbially hard up. Reduced to
straits he had pawned everything.
Coming along one day, with a peculiar
looking jack-knife, he offered it for sale.
The gentleman bought it, and came home
soon after, and q day or two after his ar.
rival he took the knife out of his pocket.
His wife bounced upon him. With a
thousand rapturous expressions of sur
prise, she demanded to know where he
BOT it, he told her he bought that knife
IN Minneapolis. She said it was
fathers" Father was brought in,
and the knife VAS identified as bis. No
explanation could be offered by the
gentleman as to how his own identical
jack-knife, lost on a country road in
Maine, should be found by his son-in-
law in the western country. This was
10 years ago. The gentleman has the
iack-knife now.

Southern COURTESY.

The Southern plantation home of to-
day indicates decayed grandeur. The
once stately structure is stained with
weather marks and spotted by the worn
off paint. A broken window here and
there, decaying cornlces, moss grown
shingles, untrimmed trees. an un-cared-
for door-yard and battered fences meet
the travellers eye. But let him enter
that decayed mansion, and he will find
two things fresh and vigorous-the high
toned courtesy and generous hospitality
Of the family. A correspondent of the
New York Evening Post thus brings out
this fact:
The owner of this typical mansion is
usually a gentleman-and a real one
whose outward aspect is not much DIFF
ferent from that Of a well-to-do Yankee
or New Yorker who has been born and
bred in the country.
But he is far more courteous and po-
ute, not merely as an art. but as a gem
ulne element of his character. His
kindness to a guest is not a formality
but q hearty, voluntary iElpulse-even
when carried to a point which we at the
north would regard as absurdly sacrif-
cial.
No Inconvenience is too burdensome,
no hospitality too unstinted, to be re-
fused aguest. The planters own time.
his family plans, his horses, his guns,
his tishing-rods must all he at the WISH
tors full disposal.
Let me be absolutely just to southern
character and say that the same courte-
sy extends to the stranger met on the
road or railway train, and that IN less
degree the same innate politenesss lie
shown even by the poor southern
whites.
l have often been amazed at the nat
some unIeInpt n NATIVE Ie ofth a, south man whom ~
at the north, we would set down as q
common tramp.
Southern chivalry has its deep-rooted
faults. But among its best qualities
must be cited graces of common social
intercourse, extending down through
all classes, which the northerner rarely
finds eoualled in his own communities.

A Yankee Astrologer.

Some professional astroiogers proba-
bly, survive, and credulity and supersti-
ton make their business profitable, but
one of them died last week in Wash
ington. He was not a very venerable
sage from the mysterious orient, where
sciences, elsewhere forgotten or con-
temned, may be supposed to flourish
yet, but a Worcester county Yankee,
born in the pleasant village of Ashburn-
ham, about thirty years ago. His father
was a Baptist minister, and he was des-
educated with that in view, at the acad-
envy in Ipswich, N. H. But he pre-
ferred what he called science to religion
and having studied astrology profound
ly, he opened an Office IN New York

Sweat.

Tie skin is an organ as much as the
lungs. AS the latter contain millions OF
minute cells, by which their principal
work is done, so it is with the former.
These cells, in both cases equally, con-
meet with the external world by means
of tubes through which waste products
are conveyed out of the system.
Most of the organs ofthe body, besides
their " proper work, do more or less
."vicarious" work; that is, work belong
ing to some other organs. So the sweat
glands. when the system is specially
charged with poisonous matter, or other
organs are partially obstructed or per.
manently destroyed, may carry off more
or less of the special poisons accidental
ly taken into the system, as we'll as the
systems own waste products, In a
cases, the sweat has contained blood.
But the chief product of the sweat
glands is water, holding in solution
chloride OF sodium, or common salt.
This varies greatly in different persons
and in different circumstances, but av-
erages about two pounds q cay. Under
the influence of cold the glands are
much less active; under heat, much
more 80.
Thus nature Utilities the sweat to reg
ulate the temperature of the body.
Certain drugs. also, increase the amount
and thus hasten the elimination of waste
and poisonous products. In this a
colds, and some other feverish conditions
may be often checked.
1t is now known that there are special
nerves that control the action Of the
sweat cells; that sweating is due to the
action of certain nerve centres; and that
1t ls on these. primarily, that heat and
there are some few drugs which act d.
rectly on the glands.
In the same way, certain emotions act
on the nerve-centres, and thus cause
protuse p~erspiration. So also does a
certain condition of the blood in the
sweat preceding death.-Youth's Com
panion.

A Encouraging Direction.

There is an old story about the two
roads. leading to the same place, which
were so bad that whichever one a tray-
eler took he always regretted that he had
not taken the other one In the early
days o Texas that story received a new
application.
A belated traveller finding himself at
the junction Of two roads, as night was
approaching, inquired the way to the
nearest town.
Well stranger, there's two on them.
You go this way and you'll find one: and
you go that way and you'll find the 9TH
err"
THANK you, sir, but which is the
nearer"
swell, I reckon they don't differ
much"
Eyes, but which is the better?"
Looking at the traveller with @ queer
expression, he slowly said, "JVell,
stranger, you'll have to judge for your.
self. y you go thar" pointing to the
right, you'll wish you'd gone thar"
pointing TO the left; "and if you 20
thar" reversing his gestures, you'll
wish you'd gone thar"
The n,an then passed on and left the
pioNSiSi " hidhCt llo ClltlCc, VINO, 1urn-
ing to the right, walked until he came to
a miserable broken-down house from
which a feeble light dimly appeared. It
proved to be the tavern, but destitute of
all the comforts and most of the neces-
stiles Of life.
After an attempt at satisfying his hun
ger with the scanty and unappetizine
food, he retired for the night. Sleep
was impossible to one conscious that he
was sharing his couch with hundreds of
other beings, and he exclaimed, 81 wish
that / h d gone to the other housed"
Not long after this, the gentleman had
occasion to go v e the same road.
Again at dark he came to the cross roads,
but did not hesitate to go in the direction
contrary to that he had chosen before.
In external appearance, this tavern
exceeded the other. but within the filth
was intolerable. A supply ofcoarse food
wa set before him, but such was its con-
dition that a starving mar would almost
have refused il. The bed contained as
many corn-cobs as husks. In addition
to the bright-hued sharers Of the couch
great gray rats scampered over it.
In the midst of his torment, the gen.
tleman burst out laughing. "The old
man spoke truly, when he said, eff you
60 there. you'll wish you'd gone there;
and if you 90 there, you'll wish you'd
gone there"
